Chapter 47 Jing Yuan's Scheme
Upon entering the Alchemy Bureau, you overhear an envoy sent by Dragon Master Tao Ran requesting an audience with the Alchemist for Spirit Sand, only to be flatly refused.
Tao Ran...
This name sounds familiar to you.
When Danfeng was alive, he was a representative figure among young dragon masters.
Centuries have passed, and by now he should have been reincarnated as a child. How come he is still among the Dragon Masters?
"What's wrong?" Danheng noticed you frowned.
"It's nothing...maybe I'm overthinking it..." You didn't want Danheng to worry. He was already a free, nameless person and shouldn't be bound by his past life.
Seeing that you were unwilling to say more, Danheng considerately did not press you further.
"Returning to my homeland, the scenery of Luofu is still so beautiful," Ling Sha exclaimed.
"Is Miss Ling Sha a native of Luofu?" Dan Heng asked.
The latter explained that she originally followed her master to seek medical advice in Luofu. Later, her master was framed, and she was implicated and sent to the Zhu Ming Immortal Ship. The person who carried out the trial at that time was Jing Yuan himself.
From Ling Sha's words, you can see that she has some reservations about Jing Yuan's misjudgment.
Jingyuan has always been cautious and meticulous, so he must have misunderstood her.
Ling Sha then asked about your views on the reconstruction of the Dan Ding Si.
Danheng specifically mentioned the identity of the Lingsha Chiming clan.
Chiming has intricate connections with Jianmu and Dandingsi. If he cannot remain aloof, it will be difficult to clear away obstacles.
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Danheng."
Ling Sha thanked Dan Heng and then began to think.
Just then, Yun Li appeared out of nowhere. Upon seeing Yun Li, Yan Qing immediately displayed his childlike side, demanding that she return the sword to him.
The little girl looked unconvinced, and after a bit of arguing, neither of them would give up.
"Tell me, if those two were to fight, who would win?" March 7th was always eager for a good show.
Dan Heng sighed and rubbed his forehead in exasperation: "Let's be prepared to separate them."
You're not as worried as Danheng.
It's clear that Yun Li is just as good as you were back then.
If it were you, under Huaiyan's doting education, you would probably be even more arrogant and complacent than her.
You really want to see who wins between the two of them.
To prevent the two children from destroying the house, Ling Sha proposed that whoever kills the most evil spirits within a specified time wins.
The two children finally found a reason to compete, and at a command they ran off and disappeared, leaving only the screams of the monster falling to the ground.
"You seem to care a lot about that child, Yun Li," Dan Heng asked hesitantly.
"I just think she reminds me a bit of myself from before," you explained as you watched the show.
"Mom, were you this brave back then? I never would have guessed." The little raccoon has once again changed his perception of you.
The gentle and understanding mother in front of me was actually a fiery little firecracker back then. The contrast is just too great.
"Cough...it's all over now..."
"Oh, I suddenly remembered someone on the street saying something about Zhu Ming hot girl, so that's what it meant..." March 7th suddenly realized.
"Is that so? I thought it meant dressing very hot." The raccoon naturally chimed in, "Since Mom is from Zhu Ming, she must have worn Zhu Ming clothes before."
The raccoon remembered the Ming Dynasty tourists it had seen on the street before; both men and women were dressed very lightly.
"So when will I be able to see Mom wearing Zhu Ming's clothes? I really want to... um..." Before the raccoon could finish speaking, you covered its mouth.
"No, you don't want to." You said those four words expressionlessly.
"Actually, I really want to watch it," March 7th said timidly. "Danheng, you must feel the same way, right?"
"I didn't..." Dan Heng said, but in his heart he was somewhat expectant.
"Um...can we skip this topic?"
You shouldn't have answered Danheng's question.
During their casual conversation, the two children went berserk, turning their initial killing of the evil creatures into a fierce battle, with neither willing to yield to the other.
As the two fought fiercely, a fox-woman with a high ponytail stepped forward and separated them. She even encouraged them to fight in the ring and beat the other half to death.
The farce is over; go and check on the two of them.
After this battle, the two children's tempers subsided considerably.
“Who do we have here? General Feixiao, what brings you to my humble abode?” Ling Sha’s words revealed the woman’s identity.
It turns out that she was none other than the famous "Great Victory" General Feixiao.
Feixiao spoke to you as if he knew you well, which shows that he had clearly investigated you beforehand.
She then subtly asked them to leave under the pretext of catching up, and Yanqing took the opportunity to suggest returning to the Shence Mansion to report back.
...
Inside the Shence Mansion, Jing Yuan was exchanging information with Huai Yan. Upon seeing you arrive, he formally introduced you to Huai Yan and then discussed the Jianmu matter with him.
Huaiyan claimed that there were many doubts about the Jianmu matter, and the alliance had concerns about it.
The implication was that the alliance had become suspicious of Jing Yuan.
“But I believe in you…” Huaiyan said, speaking of his opinion of Jingyuan, saying that he knew Jingyuan’s character and believed in him.
"Thank you for your trust, Elder Yan." Jing Yuan thanked Huai Yan and then explained his purpose in inviting them to Luofu.
The Alliance has reservations about the Jianmu incident, and given the train crew's involvement in the whole affair, the Alliance needs to investigate the train crew's motives and clarify their purpose in coming to Luofu.
Ultimately, it's about getting you to be witnesses and prove his innocence.
"I apologize, everyone. Jing Yuan had no choice but to bring you here under the pretext of attending the ceremony. There are reasons for this, so please forgive me."
Knowing the truth, you naturally wouldn't refuse his request.
Huaiyan then mentioned that he had also brought a precious sword as a prize for the martial arts ceremony.
Yun Li brazenly declared that the sword would definitely belong to her, but Huai Yan said that was not necessarily true, and that he thought Yan Qing was quite good.
Huaiyan's favoritism quickly displeased Yunli, and Yanqing and Yunli argued about who would win the prized sword, until Huaiyan suggested that they should work together to train a disciple to be considered true swordsmen.
As for the choice of apprentice, Huaiyan smiled and turned his gaze to your group.
“I see a promising talent right here.” Huaiyan first flattered you, then checked each one one by one, and finally settled on March 7th.
"Huh? Me, a swordsman? Really?" March 7th was still clueless, looking incredulous.
"Miss March has extraordinary talent and is a promising prospect." Under Huaiyan's praise, March 7 agreed to become Yanqing and Yunli's apprentice in a daze.
Afterwards, Huaiyan left with Yunli under the pretext of preparing the apprenticeship ceremony, and you also bid farewell to Jingyuan and prepared to return to the hotel to rest.
It wasn't until March 7th reached the hotel lobby that she came to her senses. How did she suddenly become an apprentice?
“Although we have agreed to stay as witnesses for Jing Yuan, in his eyes we are no different from ordinary tourists and can leave at any time,” Dan Heng calmly analyzed. “That’s why General Huai Yan suggested that Yun Li and Yan Qing teach San Yue swordsmanship so that we can stay in Luofu for a while.”
“I see. Since General Jingyuan needs help, let’s help others. I’ve never used a sword before. Do you think I can take on ten of them once I’ve mastered it?” March 7th stepped forward to liven up the atmosphere.
"March, you're so talented, you can definitely do it if you study hard." You echoed her words, encouraging her with a smile.
"Hehe..." March 7th scratched his head sheepishly.
After you understood what had happened, you all left.
