Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 323 The Past of the Pill Refining Division

The two girls thought they were speaking very quietly, but in fact, everyone present could hear them.

And there's no way to refute it.

This is true.

When the Immortal Boat Alliance wanted to form an alliance with Chiming and accept Chiming Dragon Descendants, Yun Zhi opposed it—he didn't want his territory to support a bunch of ancestors.

News came from Luofu that Longzun Yubie was willing to divert the waters of the ancient sea to flood the Jianmu Xuangen and guard the Jianmu for generations. Yunzhi saw that they were making such a sacrifice, so he didn't say anything.

He also specifically instructed the alliance to take care of the situation and not to send Chiming to dangerous positions, such as the Cloud Cavalry.

Ultimately, danger symbolizes opportunity. How high can a position go without danger?

Yunzhi didn't think that much at the time. He had said what he needed to say, and the Alliance had done what it needed to do. Chiming had already achieved autonomy and had even given them a starship. What else did they want to do?

Of course, the result was not very good.

Previously, the craftsman of the Vidyadhara vehemently denounced the Dragon Lord Yu Bie for appeasement and seeking peace, saying that Yu Bie stole the sacred land of the Vidyadhara and flattered foreign tribes, and that he, as a master craftsman, had lived for over four hundred years in vain, yet was powerless to expel evil and promote righteousness—who is the foreign tribe, who is evil, who is appeasing and seeking peace, and who is the invader? Don't you know whose territory the Immortal Ship is?

Then, the Master of Wisdom openly colluded with the secret teachings of the Medicine King, saying that the Master of Wisdom had lived a miserable and gloomy life on the Immortal Ship for thousands of years, and made sarcastic remarks about how the Alliance had abused the Master of Wisdom.

Finally, there's the little devil from Jinren Lane who criticizes the Immortal Boat Luofu for being too oppressive to the Chiming, saying that the benefits for Chiming in Luofu are inadequate and inferior to those in Fanghu Immortal Boat...

No, whose is this Immortal Ship Alliance anyway?

In the past, Yunzhi would probably have said: Of course they belong to the people of the Alliance. I am just a guardian, and there is no need for me to make things difficult for myself by managing these countless people.

Now, the Clouds Society answered without hesitation:

—Nonsense, if it's not mine, is it yours?

Yunzhi felt that he had done everything he could to uphold the principles of benevolence and righteousness.

Yunzhi thought she had a really good temper, since she didn't like them in the first place and had put up with them for so long.

However, this is not surprising.

After all, most people who hold the view should still be doing well.

Sometimes it's just that amazing. When you feel extreme dissatisfaction and hatred towards a certain group because of something, there will always be people who will tell you that the group isn't so bad after all.

Just like Kiana, who clearly felt the ugliness of the world, but still couldn't gracefully give up on it.

How is this different from PUA?

Ha ha.

Everyone on the train crew knew Yunzhi's attitude towards the Ming clan.

Besides Danheng, whom he keeps by his side, there is also the young dragon girl Bailu. Generally speaking, Yunzhi's treatment of Chiming is typical—neither his nose nor his eyes matter.

In their view, Yunzhi probably just wants [Immortal] to crawl out quickly and then be killed by the other Star Gods.

So, after exchanging a few words, the two girls stopped talking about it.

They can't keep things to themselves, and it might not be appropriate for them to reveal Yunzhi's dislike for Chiming in front of Lingsha.

Ling Sha didn't follow up on their questions, but instead started something else entirely:

"As early as thirty years ago, my mentor, who was also the head of the Luofu Danding Bureau, had already sensed the undercurrents surging here and intended to rectify the situation."

Ling Sha sighed, "Unfortunately, although she was skilled in medicine, she did not understand human nature and had no idea how to remove the tumor hidden deep in the Dan Ding Division. In the end, my mentor was framed and sent far away to the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship. I was also implicated and had to leave Luofu."

Ling Sha looked at Yan Qing:

"And the person in charge of arbitrating this matter and who granted the exile order was... General Jingyuan himself."

Yanqing was taken aback: "What?"

"You heard me right."

Ling Sha's smile finally faded: "The situation at the Pill Cauldron Division has deteriorated to this point. Besides the Medicine King's rebels, General Shence is also responsible for this."

In some respects, this statement is not wrong.

However, it is quite remarkable that General Shence has been in power for so many years and only now has these messy and major events occurred.

Yanqing was very worried.

Ling Sha made almost no attempt to hide her dissatisfaction with General Shence, and given the current attitude of the alliance's higher-ups, Jing Yuan's situation is likely to be quite difficult.

However, Ling Sha also said that she would not hold any grudge against the general.

Ling Sha may have no objection, but Si Ding must have an objection.

As they were talking, another acquaintance came up from the side.

That's Yun Li, the grand-disciple of General Zhu Ming.

She and Yanqing already had some unresolved issues, and now Yanqing had overheard people speaking ill of their general, so he was in a bad mood and started arguing with Yunli after only a few words.

Ling Sha didn't want the two children to fight in the ruins of the Dan Ding Si, so she asked them to clean up the experimental subjects that had escaped from the Dan Ding Si.

Last time, Yun Zhi cleaned up the Medicine King's secret teachings, but didn't care about those experimental subjects who had no self-awareness.

They had been talking amicably, but then suddenly they started fighting again.

Fortunately, they were stopped by General Tianji from the Yaoqing Immortal Ship, who was just passing by.

She originally went to see Bailu for a medical checkup, and after the visit, she went for a walk. She happened to run into two children playing around, so she stepped in to stop them.

After meeting, the two sides quickly said goodbye.

General Feixiao also had important matters to attend to.

A moment later—

On the boardwalk near the Boyue Ancient Sea in Dan Ding Si, Fei Xiao gazed at the boundless tide in the distance, hearing footsteps getting closer and closer behind him.

"You're back?"

Feixiao didn't turn her head, but she knew who it was: "You've seen Jingyuan and wandered around for several hours. What are your thoughts?"

She was sent to investigate, not to reminisce. With the marshal's mission on her mind, she couldn't be amiable.

We should at least send someone to check on the current situation in Luofu first.

The pink-haired fox, Feixiao's doctor and strategist, replied: "In my opinion, General Shence wants to use the martial arts ceremony to prove that Luofu is peaceful and unharmed after the Jianmu disaster. After all, it is the Emperor's Bow who personally intervened. No matter how rampant the villains are, they should tuck their tails under the Emperor's Bow's intimidation."

Fei Xiao smiled and said, "Next, you're going to say 'no,' right?"

Jiaoqiu maintained her smile: "However, the crowds that surge in with the martial arts ceremony are the best mouthpieces for unease and rumors. Emperor Bow Master and True Lord are not in Luofu right now, so I'm afraid those guys will take the opportunity to cause trouble—if one wrong move is made, chaos will ensue."

Moze also said, "The Cloud Cavalry on the street are quite alert, which shows that the general understands this principle. As for anything else, I can't see it."

After Moze finished speaking, Jiaoqiu sighed and covered her face:

"Please spare me from such a good opportunity to meet the generals in the future. Why should I, a mere army medic, be pushed to the forefront and chat with two generals?"

Hearing this, Fei Xiao couldn't help but laugh:

"Are you sure it's just two generals?"

Upon hearing this, Jiaoqiu lowered her hand, looking puzzled.

"What do you mean?...I did smell some strange people at the time, but I didn't find anyone suspicious."

No, actually, Jiaoqiu already had a guess.

But I didn't dare say it out loud.

It's not that the Emperor Bow Master's recent appearance made people feel that He was approachable; looking at the Emperor Bow and Arrow still shining in the distance, the sense of awe can never disappear.

Fei Xiao maintained his smile: "Didn't find anyone suspicious? Jiao Qiu, stop playing dumb."

She turned around and looked once more at the distant ancient sea:

"The people from the Starry Sky Train said the True Lord wasn't here when they came last time, and they're saying the True Lord isn't here again this time. Doesn't this seem too familiar?"

The last train said that Jingfeng Baiyu Zhenjun had gone to Pinocchio beforehand, and as a result, Juemie Dajun, who had let his guard down, was caught off guard.

Moze had something to say about this: "However, we almost all saw that after Zhenjun said goodbye to the passengers on the train, he left Luofu's airspace with two other nameless passengers."

The monitoring device also failed to detect the power of the Emperor's Bow, which made a large turn and returned to Luofu.

Instead, let's speculate whether Emperor Bow and True Lord will rush all the way to Yaoqing for a clandestine visit.

Jiaoqiu's face stiffened.

"If that's really the case..."

Just now, I was really... bold.
