Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 315 Sparrow: A Child's Fear

Xing's expectations were not met.

Because it's not time for her to unlock the Hunting Destiny yet.

Lan hid in Xing's hood and followed them into Sichen Palace.

Before they even got close, they heard Jing Yuan's voice.

"Mr. Yan, you must be tired from your journey. You must have had a hard time."

Who is he talking to?

Another weathered voice reached my ears:

"It's no trouble at all, but it's kind of you to take the time to greet me."

Yanqing then led them forward: "General, I have brought the passengers from the train. I didn't realize that you were receiving guests at an inopportune time."

Jing Yuan laughed and said, "It's alright, you've come at just the right time. Everyone from the Starry Sky Train, it's been a long time... Didn't True Lord come along?"

"It's normal to ask this question," Dan Heng said with a sincere, kitten-like face.

"Because the exploration route we recently decided on is somewhat special, True Lord has reached a cooperation agreement with some members of the Genius Club, and is now heading to the Deep Realm of Kinggarten with Ms. Himeko and Mr. Walter."

Danheng's expression was so sincere.

Xing nodded: "After all, our next destination is too special for us."

Jing Yuan didn't seem to be relieved or disappointed, but he didn't comment on it.

Worried about saying too much and making a mistake, Xing changed the subject: "I dreamt about you in Pinocchio."

That's not wrong, Taiyi did indeed dream of Jingyuan coming to his rescue.

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "My presence in the dreams of old friends shows how much I miss them. It is an honor to have a place in your beautiful dreams."

It's clear that Jingyuan wanted to ask some other questions.

But maintaining a general's airs, it wasn't appropriate to ask any questions.

"Allow me to introduce you all. This is General Huaiyan, the Heavenly General of the Immortal Ship Zhu Ming."

Jing Yuan looked at the short, bearded old man beside him.

Lan glanced at it silently.

—It's Zhuyuan... It's been so many years, how come you've aged so much?

It seems these children still have something to say.

Lan flew silently into Jingyuan's hair, unnoticed by anyone.

—And you know what, Shence's head of white hair is quite impressive. As soon as Lan blended in, she saw a little sparrow nestled in the fluffy white hair.

The little sparrow was resting when suddenly a person appeared beside it, startling it so much that it froze on the spot.

Lan and Xiao Que exchanged a glance.

He didn't say anything, and continued to listen attentively to what the others were saying.

Little Sparrow: ...Although I can't speak, I know who this little doll in front of me is.

Suddenly, someone pressed their face against mine.

The child is afraid.

The scene before us has now reached its middle section. Everything that needed to be introduced has been introduced, and everything that needed to be said has been said. Lan also sees the little girl from the dock back then.

She is Huaiyan's grand-disciple, and her name is Yun Li.

Yanqing clearly recognized him as well.

Then, the two children exchanged a few words, and a tension arose between them.

The main point is that Yun Li casually took Yan Qing's sword with her at the dock, right? Given that she comes from Zhu Ming and is a disciple of Huai Yan, Lan could tell that Yun Li probably had some intention of maintaining Yan Qing's sword.

It's not surprising that some of the Ming Dynasty's most skilled craftsmen could communicate with their weapons; all things have a spirit.

Yanqing seemed to cherish his weapons, but he wasn't a craftsman after all. Yunli wondered if his sword had some kind of dissatisfaction with him that Yunli could sense.

Therefore, Yun Li refused to return the weapon and proposed that Yan Qing should have a fair and square duel with her, and if he won, she would return the sword to him.

After a while, the two children started to show signs of arguing.

In comparison, Yun Li seems quite willful.

But then I thought about it again, and it didn't seem like such a big deal.

Yun Li and Yan Qing are about the same age, but they are different in the end.

Yanqing is so sensible. In comparison, it's hard not to think that Yunli is too willful. But this is the kind of personality a child should have, especially a child who is pampered.

Yanqing... It's not that Shence treated him badly, it's just that when He came to Immortal Ship Luofu last time, He seemed to have seen Yanqing being beaten a few times.

It's really not appropriate not to grow.

Seeing that the two were really going to challenge him to a duel, Jing Yuan immediately spoke up to stop them: "Yan Qing!"

His tone was somewhat stern.

In contrast, Huaiyan's tone was gentler: "You should shut up too, and quickly apologize to your brother Yanqing!"

Yun Li was immediately unhappy:

"Grandpa, whose side are you on?"

"Grandpa...Grandpa won't stand on either side!"

This little old man is quite cute.

Lan continued watching with great interest.

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "It was just a small misunderstanding. Your apology is too much. I have heard that the swordsmanship and craftsmanship of Zhu Ming Immortal Boat are among the best, with the reputation of the Flame Wheel Eight Leaves. Today, I have met Miss Yun Li, who is among them. She does indeed have a fiery temperament."

Jingyuan is indeed very good at talking.

Those words are so comforting to hear.

Huaiyan smiled wryly and said, "What kind of good reputation is this? There are always busybodies who love to fabricate false reputations and create up baseless accusations for Yunqi. Yunli is still a child, shy and reserved. Please forgive her for any rudeness in her actions."

Huaiyan's assessment that Yunli is not mature enough is true.

But he's shy and reserved?

I didn't realize it, but Lan thought the girl was quite outgoing.

"Gentlemen, Elder Yan and I have important matters to discuss. For now, I will have Yanqing escort the guests and Miss Yunli to the inn for their stay. Later, I will choose another time to have a long talk with you all and properly express my gratitude to the Starry Sky Train for saving Luofu from dire straits."

March 7th's eyes sparkled: "You're too kind, you've thanked me so many times."

Huaiyan urged Yunli to take this opportunity to clear up the misunderstanding with Yanqing.

It's fine for bickering lovers to have a few arguments once or twice, but if it goes on for too long, they're likely to become enemies.

But Yunli said she had to go see Lingsha first.

...Lan felt that she should remember this name.

It seems to be the new Director of the Luofu Danding Division that was mentioned before, right?

Speaking of the Dan Ding Si, I recall the "grand occasion" I saw there when I last visited Luofu.

Judging from his behavior, he seems to trust Ling Sha.

Hopefully, she'll be tough on things and quickly clean up this mess at Luofu Danding Division.
