Chapter 148: Free and Pure Practice
"Let's put the matter of the fetal hair brush aside for now. As long as you have the gift prepared, there's no need to worry.
After walking around the street for a long time, you barely found a shop that sells snacks.
"This place makes the meat dragon intestines faster than other places, and the way they string them together is pretty good too. You have good taste, you've already spotted one of my favorites since you first arrived."
You turned around and saw a girl around your age smiling and saying, "Nice to meet you. I'm Yunli. You're the Pure Beauty Envoy from Luofu that Grandpa mentioned, right?"
Ever since you knew that this was also a fairy boat, you had already expected that this might be the place that Grandma Yukong had agreed upon with others earlier.
Yunli treated you to a string of meat dragon intestines to ease your visible anger, and then she began to explain that her grandfather was Zhu Ming's General Zhu Yuan, Huai Yan.
In the alliance, for the immortal ships outside Luofu, you can be regarded as Jing Yuan's cheap disciple, even though you don't learn martial arts or swordsmanship, and usually just like to bang people with a two-handed sword.
But it is impossible for others not to consider your identity.
Moreover, General Huai Yan heard that you love to eat and drink, so he specifically ordered Yun Li, a food expert from Zhu Ming, to treat you. Besides that, when you come to Zhu Ming, you can also see various interesting mechanisms.
In short, they took every aspect into consideration, except for one thing.
You followed Yun Li obediently to meet General Huai Yan, and then shyly took out the roll of paper tied around your waist -
"Grandpa Huaiyan, since you are a general, do you know where he is? The first time I saw this missing person notice, I decided that she is my wife in Zhu Ming!"
The aura around the two people, one big and one small, clearly carried a hint of melancholy or loss, and you didn't quite understand what their changes meant.
Although Huai Yan said that Ying Xing was no longer in Xianzhou Zhu Ming, he also said that he was the one who posted those missing person notices.
But for some reason, he said this as if the person was already dead.
Later, when Yunli took you to eat all over Zhuming, he also mentioned by chance that Zhuming's forging skills were famous throughout the starry sea, and there were many great craftsmen in the sect, most of whom were disciples of Grandpa Huaiyan.
Among them, Ying Xing is his most famous disciple.
"Hmm!" Yun Li took a bite of the [Sesame Rice Ball], "I've never met him in person, but Grandpa has mentioned him countless times."
"You are a short-lived species, whose lifespan is as fleeting as a shooting star, yet you have managed to achieve the title of 'Bai Ye', the head of the Industrial Manufacturing Department, at such a young age..."
"But that was 700 years ago."
You let out a long sigh, quite disappointed with the result.
Yun Li quickly cheered up and excitedly brought up another matter, "Come to think of it, you are a fox who traveled across the starry sea, and I also happen to be a disciple of General Zhu Yuan, the Seventh General of the Imperial Bow."
"Do you know the historical 'Five Heroes of the Clouds'? Well, although some records have become a little vague due to the 'Drinking Moon Rebellion', this can still be considered a historical meeting, right?"
“…Yunpian Wuxue?” You were confused by what you heard, and you haven’t even learned a few words. When you mentioned history, the only thing that came to your mind was [Yunpian Cake].
"It's the Five Heroes of the Clouds!"
The five brave men on the cloud who became famous in the battle of the Fengrao people are the Dragon Lord Chiming, the Sword Master Luofu, the Cloud Rider Leader, the Craftsman Baiye, and the Fox Traveler.
A handsome and famous name, with the passage of time and the changes in the world, has now become a taboo that many people dare not mention.
Yunli told the story vividly and explained it in a simple and easy-to-understand way.
But maybe it's because of preconceived notions, the only thing that comes to your mind is a piece of white and soft cake, and a sharp knife with a cold glow cutting off slices of thin pastry with the name on it.
Cut it, this piece is the Vajra Dragon;
Cut it, this piece is the Luofu sword head;
…
You slurped your saliva, thinking that you could actually easily put together a "Cloud Piece Five Cuts" now.
So, you excitedly invite Yunli, the Dragon Vajra Master, the Fox Traveler, and Luofu... the future Sword Master, "Yunli, we are now missing one."
"If you join us, we can all play the [Emperor's Jade] card together!"
Yun Li quickly refused, "No! I was just saying it casually. Think about it, you've never heard of this name before, because something bad happened later..."
"Anyway, it's not something a little fox like you can listen to."
You nodded, "I see. I should ask Yanqing to take in a disciple and then come back to you."
“That’s not the reason!”
"What a heart-wrenching heartbreak.
When you left Zhu Ming, Yunli refused to forge you a two-handed sword that was "textured, looked heavy, but not that heavy to hold", but she gave you a mini mechanical lion.
She also said, "I don't know what the mechanical lion that Ying Xing made for Baiye looked like, but I secretly saw the blueprint on Grandpa's desk!"
"Since you like Ying Xing so much, I took the time to make one for you."
"These days, whenever you go to a place and see a missing person notice, write a serial number on it. The total is 847."
"You don't know, at first there were 1,000 missing person notices. Then, as time went by, some of them were lost. Every once in a while, Grandpa would fill in the blanks..."
"Ah, I think Grandpa must be happy to know that there are still people who like Ying Xing."
This gift is such a surprise that you feel that all your previous heartbreaks that ended hastily were not as good as this one.
Although you didn't have the chance to meet Ying Xing's wife, you still gave the fetal hair brush away. You felt that you had really grown a little during this journey.
But what exactly is growth?
Well, that's not important.
On the way back to Luofu, you accidentally overslept. It was only because Tingyun knew that you were coming back on this boat that he asked someone to make an exception and found you sleeping soundly in the corner.
"Oh, what should I do..."
Before you even opened your eyes, you could hear Tingyun's worried and distressed voice in a daze.
"Sister Tingyun—? What's wrong with you?"
"You're finally awake, little A Chong." Ting Yun covered his mouth with his hands and smiled, but he still pretended to be annoyed between his brows. "This spaceship is always in a hurry, and it just happened to be stuck at this time. It's the big day for Yanqing's martial arts performance. I'm afraid that your delay will..."
Sitting up in shock from his dying illness!
The strange, electric-like urgency frightened you so much that your ears and tail stood up, but you quickly returned to normal.
I'm already so late, so I won't make any more time.
What's more, neither of the two fox people present knew how to drive a star raft.
Under Tingyun's orderly arrangement, you arrived at the Shen Ce Mansion smoothly. As usual, you slowly dragged your sword case to the martial arts field. As luck would have it, Yan Qing won the championship and was receiving the award on the stage.
Fortunately, at least people haven't left yet.
After it was over, Yan Qing walked up to you from the stage with his eyes wide open, and you took the initiative with confidence -
"Yanqing, you won the championship. I'm actually very happy. But I just came back from far away. Why are you so sullen?"
"You don't even care if I'm tired or hungry! I just went through a huge breakup and cheered myself up to come back and celebrate for you, and you treat me like this!"
The honest boy Yan Qing's arrogance immediately subsided, but he still felt a little aggrieved. "But you didn't see how well I performed in the martial arts arena! Ah Chong, you are my best friend!"
You don't know why, but every time Yanqing mentions the word "best friend", you feel a little guilty. He doesn't usually say it, but he always mentions this word every time he feels wronged.
Because you not only have Yanqing as your "best friend", you are also Bailu's "best friend". This time after returning from Zhuming, you have also become Yunli's "best friend"...
You don't know how important you are in Yanqing's heart, but you should know that all the adults in the universe will become crazy about anything that has the word "most" in it.
For no apparent reason, you'll feel short of breath.
But not much. After all, you are associated with the word "most", and you should be the one who is favored. So can't Yanqing be a little more tolerant of you?
OK, very good.
"Okay, I know I'm important now." Seeing that Yan Qing didn't intend to denounce you anymore, you decided to hold off for a while, "But I understand one thing this time."
Finally, you said in a solemn tone, "Growing up is always lonely. I hope you will never understand this, Yanqing."
"I just understood."
"Anyway! As compensation," you quickly interrupted Yan Qing's attempt, "I've decided to invite you to join my newly formed [Cloud Piece Five Cuts]!"
"Ever since I learned this word, the first person I thought of when I returned to Luofu was you!"
Yan Qing hesitated strangely. He looked at the [Cloud Cake] that appeared in your hand, "Isn't it true that you suddenly thought of this when Miss Tingyun brought you some snacks?"
"...What are you talking about, Yanqing? Are you doubting me?!" You feel insulted. "You'd better apologize to me immediately, or I'll show you what "Five Cloud Cuts, Cut! Cut! Cut!" is true.
"The sudden appearance of the term 'Yunpian Wuxie' made Jingyuan realize your poverty in cultural studies.
Then how can you possibly sit still and study in class?
You, the self-proclaimed great fox traveler of the new generation, have resolved to journey across the vast sea of stars to pursue your studies. Studying is merely an excuse; the real purpose is undoubtedly the vast sea of stars.
Sea of stars! Your journey is the sea of stars.

As for what to learn...
Looking through all the courses offered by the Boshi Society, you only see the word "free." This reminds you of the voluntary courses offered by Xianzhou, which must be easier.
Logically speaking, if you want to pursue academic research, you don't have to go to such great lengths to leave home, but you don't really want to pursue academic research.
After hesitating for a long time among the free courses, you suddenly recognized a person who offered 52 free courses.
This undoubtedly gives you the opportunity to come up with a lame excuse to take a course, which of course does not require traveling across the stars, but you claim that you only want to take courses taught by the teacher who offers 52 free courses.
Immersed in your own little thoughts, you didn't notice the fleeting pity in the eyes of your parents, Jing Yuan, Grandma Yukong and others.
Just like last time, this time the adults agreed to your request, and you began to wonder if you really have a talent for lying.
But soon, after a long and arduous journey, you finally arrived at the [Boshi Academy] and realized something was wrong."
