In her view... they were quite upright in Belleburg back then... yet they were still wanted, which led to them hiding for so long.
Regarding Xiao Sanyue's concerns, Lao Yang stated with certainty that the Xianzhou Alliance would not be so rude.
However, this meeting with that Sky-Soaring One will undoubtedly involve dealing with a series of questions, such as—
Why did the train crew choose this time to come to Xianzhou?
How did the train crew learn that the catastrophe was related to the star's core?
Who leaked the information about the fairy boat to the train crew, etc...
"In short, a careless answer could easily provoke suspicion and hostility, making things much more difficult."
……
Seeing this, the players couldn't help but feel a little indignant on behalf of Lao Yang and his group.
They came here to help others, but ended up being constantly guarded against.
Although I understand Xianzhou's perspective... I still feel a little uncomfortable.
Therefore, the comments section erupted into a heated discussion.
Kiana, a girl with a strong sense of justice, was puffing out her cheeks at this moment.
"It seems that being a pioneer is really not easy."
Just as she was complaining, a message popped up on her phone in the game.
The content, however, was sent by Tingyun.
Tingyun: [My benefactor, I would like to ask you something.]
Xing: [What's wrong?]
Tingyun: [It may be disrespectful to say, but I'm really curious...]
Tingyun: [The train's arrival at the Immortal Ship, could it just be to help Luofu resolve the troubles caused by the Star Core?]
Xing: [Is the train's purpose so hard to understand? Can't people act out of a desire for good?]
Tingyun: [After all, those who disregard personal gain and reward, and willingly risk their lives to help others, are rarer than air itself on a perilous journey across the Milky Way!]
Tingyun: [Upon first hearing your purpose, the powerful figures of the Immortal Ship will inevitably assume that you are either seeking immortality or craving star cores.]
Xing: [The pursuit of immortality is absolutely forbidden on the Immortal Ship, right?]
……
Sure enough, even Tingyun in the game didn't understand where the Trailblazers' helpful hobby came from.
However, what the players didn't notice was that Tingyun was intentionally or unintentionally steer the conversation toward the topic of "immortality".
After all, Tingyun quickly stopped the conversation as soon as those two words were mentioned.
They thought Tingyun was just trying to be helpful by reminding the Pioneers to be careful when facing the big shots from Xianzhou.
……
Soon, Tingyun found the main characters again and led them to the headquarters of the Sky Ship Bureau, where they met the "Lord Sky Flying".
Surprisingly, this [Sky Flyer] is also a tall and beautiful fox-woman.
If we were to say that Tingyun is a charming little fox spirit with a touch of girlish heart.
Na Yukong is like a cool and mature fox sister, which is very fitting for her status as a superior, and naturally she has captivated a large number of players.
However, when talking to the main characters, Yu Kong's arrogance was even greater than Ting Yun's.
It is merely pride, not arrogance.
After all, they are in a superior position, and the Star Train has come to provide support, so they still have to show the proper courtesy.
Although... this "politeness" was a bit too cold...
Players speculate—
Perhaps because the Celestial Ship is so powerful, she, as a member of the Celestial Ship, must be very proud.
However, Yu Kong directly refused the Star Train's generous offer of assistance.
For players, Yu Kong's refusal of the Star Train was both unexpected and reasonable.
After all, in Xianzhou's view, a star core is not a big deal.
It's not worth owing the train crew a favor for such a small matter.
You should know that favors are the hardest to repay.
……
"It's just a mere star core. The Alliance has long been aware of it and has its own ways of dealing with it."
"Having soared for eight thousand years, the Immortal Ship has witnessed countless crises and annihilations. Although the current disaster is raging, the Immortal Ship has the capacity to handle it on its own and does not need to rely on external forces to quell the calamity."
"You are all guests from afar, and there is absolutely no reason for you to get involved in this matter—do you understand what I mean?"
March 7th was a little annoyed by Yu Kong's "cold but polite" attitude.
However, the other party didn't do anything outrageous, so she could only respond with a cold complaint:
"Forget it, Uncle Yang. Since the alliance can handle it themselves, why bother? Let's just go."
However, Yu Kong spoke calmly again: "No, you cannot leave."
March 7th: "...Hey, that's a bit much."
Yu Kong gently shook his head and explained, "The star core was discovered on [Luofu] only a few days ago, and the Star Chariot Sea is completely sealed off; no one can leave—"
"How did you all foresee the future, and how did you determine that all of this is related to the Star Core?"
"I retrieved the entry and exit records for the Star Chariot Sea. Not long ago, someone hacked into the system, opened the Jade Gate, and guided a ship into port. That was you—the Starry Sky Train."
"The people behind the terrifying system are highly skilled; they even deliberately left a stamp, as if to provoke—[Silver Wolf], a member of the Star Core Hunters."
"What is your explanation for this?"
As he finished speaking, Yu Kong's tone became increasingly cold.
……
Okay...
Walter's guess was right.
But... he didn't expect that the person who would help him land... would actually be Silver Wolf, the Star Core Hunter.
At the same time, players have also come to understand the arrogant yet somewhat aloof and polite attitude of Yu Kong.
After all, with all these coincidences (of Nori) combined, it's really hard not to be suspicious.
Moreover... Star Core Hunters are already notorious in the universe...
……
6...This time, we're really going to be misunderstood.
[Hilarious! The train crew is probably going to have to run away again, hahaha...]
Although the plot is a bit cliché... it's also really reasonable, making it impossible to criticize.
……
Just when players thought the story would start with "misunderstanding" and "escape" again, an unexpected event occurred.
A holographic projection suddenly appeared behind Yu Kong.
Immediately following was a male voice:
"Yu Kong, don't be so fierce. If word gets out, won't the Galaxy laugh at our Alliance for not knowing how to treat guests?"
The person who came was naturally Jing Yuan.
"How could the Star Train possibly be allied with the Star Core Hunters? They're mortal enemies!"
To the players' surprise, General Jingyuan spoke up in support of the Starry Sky Train.
However, after clearing the train crew of suspicion, Jingyuan still refused their assistance.
However, unlike Yu Kong's cold politeness, Jing Yuan spoke in an extremely gentle and casual tone.
This is the attitude we should have towards our guests.
Immediately, countless players developed a great fondness for General Jingyuan, who had just appeared.
.......
Chapter 585 Could this little pink figure also be eyeing the CEO position?
Regarding the matter of the [Star Core], Jing Yuan directly refused the other party's help.
But he quickly changed the subject:
"But since we've already come all this way, how can we let you all leave empty-handed?"
"Although I cannot accept the Train Group's help regarding the [Star Core] matter, I do have another matter that I must ask of you all!"
