In March, she lay down on a recliner in the lounge, took off her shoes with a slightly dejected look, revealing her smooth, white little feet.

After running all day, I feel like my feet don't even belong to me anymore!

"In March, put your shoes on, it's not elegant."

Upon seeing this, Dan Heng immediately reminded March 7.

"Wow... but my feet are really sore!"

"I always feel like we've been either being ordered around or on our way to being ordered around ever since we got to the Immortal Ship. In that case, what that Grand Diviner said is right. General Jingyuan really should do something about it. Who uses 'surprise troops' like this?"

Is it a "surprise attack" or just a drudgery...?

At this moment, March felt that her mind was full of negative and unmotivated emotions, which was far from the development she wanted... She was being pushed around by others!

"Sigh... That's the situation with the Immortal Ship, but we can't be too pessimistic. That General Jingyuan..."

Thinking back to what Jingyuan had said at the beginning.

The Immortal Ship faces enemies both internally and externally. If the internal enemy is the secret teachings of the Medicine King, then what about the external ones?

After ruling out the Star Core Hunters, what kind of force is the "outsider" lurking inside the Immortal Ship?

Almost immediately, Walter thought of the "Rakshasa" he had encountered when he first arrived at the Immortal Ship—a merchant who happened to be unable to leave after the star core erupted…

No matter how you look at it, it is very similar to the so-called "external enemy".

Of course... it's also possible that his subjective assumptions were based on that face.

Incidentally, there was also a suspected external enemy present beside them.

And that person...

"Well, in that case, I won't disturb you gentlemen any longer."

Tingyun, who was in the lounge, suddenly addressed the group.

"Oh? Miss Tingyun, aren't you going to rest?"

Upon hearing this, March immediately looked at Tingyun with some confusion. She hadn't expected that this seemingly delicate Miss Tingyun would have such good stamina.

"Oh dear, Tingyun certainly needs to rest, but..."

Instantly, Tingyun adopted a slightly melancholy expression, shook her head slightly at everyone, and then said:

"Now that Jianmu has recovered and Luofu is in turmoil, seeing my home in such a state, I naturally feel depressed. Now that I finally have some time to rest, I plan to wander around and relax. I will not be with you all for the time being."

"In that case, Miss Tingyun, please be careful. The situation within the Bureau of Construction is still unstable. If you encounter any danger, please call us immediately."

Walter did not stop Tingyun from trying to go out for a stroll; instead, he reminded her.

"Yes, thank you for your concern. Once you have rested, please send me a message to let me know!"

Tingyun nodded with a smile, and then, under everyone's watchful eyes, slowly left...

After Ting Yun left, the lounge fell silent. After a long while, confirming that Ting Yun had left the vicinity, Walter slowly rose, closed the door to his room, and addressed the others:

"Gentlemen... it's time for a train meeting."

Chapter 148 Immortal Boat Werewolf Kill Part Two

Kiana instantly understood Welt's intention, so she left the coordinates here, then opened a portal, taking everyone back to the Erjiu Qilu Jiuyi@Chanliu Xingqiong Train.

By the way... I also replied to Ling in the chat group and asked her to send over a bunch of small cakes made by Mei. Everyone sat in the observation car of the train, eating small cakes and discussing matters.

"Therefore, the Star Core Hunters were not the culprits behind the explosion of the Immortal Ship's star core. On the contrary, their purpose was to broker a relationship between the Immortal Ship and the Train, because in the foreseeable future, the Train needs the Immortal Ship as its support..."

Himeko briefly analyzed the current situation. If what Kafka said was true, then the relationship between the Immortal Ship and the Train would not be as superficial as before, but would involve a deeper level of mutual benefit.

Now that they've forged a deep bond with the Immortal Boat, they can no longer afford to stand idly by in the matters that follow...

"That's true, but the internal troubles of the Immortal Ship are still clear, while external threats..."

Walter frowned slightly, then listed two hypotheses.

The first possibility is about that Rakshasa merchant. That person is indeed suspicious, and it's easy to find out what he did after entering the Celestial Ship by checking the entry records of the Celestial Ship Bureau.

And the second...

Walter turned his gaze to Kiana. Ever since the Jianmu eruption, he had been observing every word and action of Miss Tingyun. She had a very peculiar "curiosity" about immortality. When the Jianmu revived, her first reaction was to marvel at the spectacle rather than to be afraid. Coupled with some of her misleading remarks...

Who initially placed unwavering trust in the Tianbo Company, only to later deliberately mislead them with feigned speculation...?

Perhaps... Kiana's initial reaction was correct.

The fox-people themselves are also part of the persecution caused by the abundance. Since they have joined the hunting faction, why would they be so "curious" about the abundance?

And Miss Tingyun's initial appearance seemed to have a purpose...

This looks like it's haunted.

"Miss Tingyun's reaction was extremely strange."

Walter adjusted his glasses and solemnly listed out the current doubts one by one.

"Indeed, Miss Tingyun's reaction is strange."

Upon hearing this, Dan Heng nodded in agreement.

Most of the Immortal Ship people have a deep-seated aversion to abundance, after all, the lesson of the Demonic Yin Body is right beside every immortal being. As for the remaining small group who have expectations for abundance, apart from the Medicine King's secret teachings, they are probably just people who are not very bright.

"Ah? So, Miss Tingyun might be..."

In an instant, March 7th also realized what was happening, staring wide-eyed and exclaiming incredulously.

"In that case, doesn't that mean I've come true again? Anyone who appeared at Liuyun Ferry back then must be some kind of mastermind or something..."

"Hmm... Although it sounds a bit far-fetched, we might as well investigate further."

Himeko glanced at March 7th and then shook her head, saying that after all, they needed evidence to prove this point. If they wronged an innocent person, it might backfire and cause more trouble.

"Therefore, the task of finding clues may have to be left to Kiana."

Upon hearing this, Welt turned his gaze back to Kiana.

"The Herrscher of the Void's abilities can break down the information gap that currently exists within the Immortal Ship Luofu. I remember... that Miss Tingyun's merchant guild is called the [Minghuo] Merchant Guild. If we follow this clue and conduct an investigation, we might be able to find out the problem."

"Perhaps, it would be best to ask that Lady Yu Kong directly, since she should be one of the people closest to Miss Ting Yun."

"But... since they are close friends or family, wouldn't you be more inclined to side with them?"

The Dao that remains unsolved for three months.

"Indeed, but it is precisely because of their close relationship that... she understands Miss Tingyun the best."

Walter nodded, agreeing with March's point of view.

Sometimes, only the closest relatives truly understand their loved ones. Perhaps, by telling the Sky Master about the unusual phenomenon of the stopped clouds, we could directly obtain some clues.

"In that case, I'll head to the Tianbo Bureau first!"

Kiana wiped the cake crumbs from the corner of her mouth and then said.

"Well, but we need to go back to the Construction Department first, so as not to arouse suspicion."

Walter stood up and briefly outlined the next steps.

Kiana first escorted them back to Dandingsi, and then Welt would accompany her to Tianbosi.

If anything goes wrong during this time, Danheng and Sanyue on the other side will try to stall for time until the two return.

The plan is set, now... it's time to take action.

……

"Gentlemen, it's been a long time. Is there something important that brings you to our Tianbo Company?"

Yu Kong looked at the two people who suddenly appeared in Si Chen Palace without surprise. Instead, he seemed to be used to it and said to Welt and Kiana.

"I just have a few questions I'd like to verify. Could you do me a favor, Lord Yu Kong?"

Walter did not inquire about Tingyun first, but instead asked Xiang Yukong about Rakshasa.

The merchant is no longer in the central hub of the Star Chariot Sea. According to his travel records, he went to Chang Le Tian and is still there.

However... despite being a traveling merchant, he did not engage in any commercial activities after arriving in Luofu, and then happened to be caught in the star core explosion, "forced" to stay in Luofu.

That is indeed quite suspicious.

"Don't worry, it's not just you who are paying attention to this person. General Jingyuan has also noticed him a long time ago."

Yu Kong wasn't surprised by their suspicions, after all...

This person is deliberately projecting the message that they have a problem, as if they're afraid of not being suspected.

After receiving Yu Kong's reply, Walter nodded in understanding and then began to gradually steer the conversation.

"Thanks to Ms. Tingyun's assistance during this period, the train's operations in Luofu have become much more convenient."

"This is just part of her job. I'm afraid after this, she'll start nagging me for a vacation..."

Upon hearing the mention of Tingyun, Yukong's expression softened noticeably, showing a hint of affection.

"Indeed, especially after witnessing the growth of the Jianmu tree, Miss Tingyun's reaction..."

At this point, Walter paused, then shook his head slightly, looking wistful.

"This child has been sentimental since childhood. Although he appears to be very worldly-wise, he actually cares more about his homeland than anyone else."

As if he could guess Tingyun's reaction, Yukong shook his head slightly.

"However, with General Jingyuan in charge and assisting him, although the growth of the Jianmu tree is unsettling, Luofu will eventually overcome this disaster."

Chapter 149 Immortal Boat Werewolf Killing Part 3

"I'm afraid it's not unfounded that you're all suddenly asking me about the cloud suspension issue. Perhaps we can resolve it more quickly if we're honest and straightforward."

Clearly, Yu Kong understood Walter's purpose, and it concerned the child Ting Yun...

is something happened?

If Tingyun were in danger, these two wouldn't be so calm and beating around the bush. If Tingyun had done something wrong, then this initial praise followed by criticism seems a bit inappropriate.

"Since the Sky Commander understands our purpose, we will ask directly."

Regarding the doubts about flying, Walter, who already had a fairly certain answer in mind, slowly said:

"Does Lord Yukong think Miss Tingyun might be curious about... or yearn for Jianmu?"
