Chapter 165: Extra 4: Xianzhou Luofu Line (Updated 1.26)
Jingyuan knew the kid A Chong from the beginning.
He had seen A Chong when he was just born, and he had also seen him running around on the ground. He had seen the lively and noisy A Chong, and he had also seen the obedient and well-behaved A Chong.
Yanqing was a very worry-free child, with a remarkable talent for swordsmanship and diligent practice. He could be stubborn and annoying at times, but Jingyuan was actually pleased with his usually obedient behavior.
After A Chong and Yan Qing got together, Jing Yuan watched them with great amusement for a long time. Later, when Yan Qing introduced A Chong to him, the anger spread to him.
Well... the description is a bit exaggerated, it can't be considered fire.
That child has two faces.
Mysteriously, after an unknown period of planning, Jing Yuan received a pot of flowers grown by A Chong himself, called Cyclamen.
A delicate, poisonous ornamental flower grown outdoors.
Yanqing's reaction was significant, perhaps because his swordsmanship talent was unmatched among his peers, and only Ah Chong was willing to play with him. Therefore, Yanqing, following his own interpretation of the flower, refused to let the two of them share a room.
——"You think the general is like a flower?!"
Jing Yuan still couldn't help laughing when he thought about it now.
This statement wasn't wrong, but it wasn't entirely correct either. As one of the Seven Heavenly Generals of the Imperial Bow of the Immortal Boat Alliance, Luo Fu, renowned for his wisdom and strategy, compared Jing Yuan to a poisonous flower, which naturally made some sense.
But if you must interpret, you should never just look at one point. Although reading too much may lead to over-interpretation, being too one-sided will actually ignore the child's intentions.
Therefore, Jing Yuan found it quite funny to see Yan Qing's little actions that were motivated by his possessiveness towards his friend.
There is nothing extra about white cyclamen.
People attach many meanings to flowers, but white generally doesn't have the connotations Yanqing worries about. While it may carry connotations of purity, softness, and innocence, it's rarely chosen to express love.
Just as Jing Yuan saw a feeling of pity or heartache in this delicate flower, if only this one observation was made, any further interpretation was unnecessary.
A Chong never treats Jing Yuan as a junior, probably for this reason.
…
Later, he disappeared.
The child who felt sorry for General Shen Ce, who always made every possible plan, was gone.
Disappearing in an unknown place in the sea of stars, the child, as blazing and warm as the sun, slipped away silently...
No longer seen.
Jing Yuan couldn't even peek inside the window of the child's house to see a glimpse of the past.
Only moonlight and loneliness remain on the ground.
Nothing happened in the Shen Ce Mansion, but that was all that remained.
…
…
On an ordinary afternoon, he followed Yan Qing back to the fairy boat as usual.
From human to star god, and then from star god back to human. Ah Chong had been gone for two years, and no one knew how much effort he had put in, not even the divine general who was known for his meticulous planning.
A Chong disappeared when he was 12 years old. He came back when he was 14 years old, but he still looked the same as when he left at the age of 12.
So, he hid the child. Since being a Star God was tiring, he would stand in front of the child while he was still a general and still alive.
Although Jing Yuan was known for his wisdom, all calculations have their limits.
The order of destruction caused chaos in the immortal boat, and there were abundant evil creatures, star core hunters, and star trains... Although there were risks, Jing Yuan had anticipated them.
Jing Yuan knew that from the beginning to the end, no matter how many years had passed, he still treated A Chong as his junior.
There is a gap of time, years and experiences between the two of them. How can they get along as peers?
A Chong could not participate in his nearly 800-year past, nor could he participate in A Chong's long future.
——"I may not be able to help you solve your problems, but I can suppress all problems."
Old friends, no, all the old friends who were tied to his memories were around him. Jing Yuan suddenly realized where A Chong's inexplicable heartache came from.
Without having time to worry about how to resolve the current complex power structure here, Jing Yuan was exhausted and troubled by various emotions.
——All adults were once children, but many people have forgotten.
Such a clever General Shen Ce was once the youngest child of the "Five Heroes of the Clouds"...
Jingyuan closed his eyes and let himself lean on A Chong's shoulder and lose consciousness.

Yanqing likes to practice swordplay. He also likes all kinds of swords and his best friend.
Yan Qing, who has never encountered any setbacks in kendo since he was a child, has only one regret: his best friend, A Chong, has many other best friends besides himself.
A Chong likes good-looking people, people with different looks, and interesting people.
Among the elders, he likes Jing Yuan and Yu Kong;
Among his peers, he likes Bai Lu, Yun Li, and of course, himself.
Ah Chong likes so many people and things, and is very kind to everyone he likes, but none of them can stop him. He will still firmly move forward towards the unknown future that interests him.
After he came back from Zhu Ming, he said that he wanted to become a new generation of famous fox traveler and leave his name in the records of the fairy boat Luofu.
Then, Yanqing understood that A Chong's goal had always been the sea of stars, but he didn't know it before and couldn't describe it.
But what words could not express, A Chong achieved through actions.
After that, he met more people he liked. Besides the sword, the part that made Yan Qing feel regretful expanded.
It seems like some kind of corrosive emotion.
He left home, he came back, took a quick look at Yanqing, and then left again.
They were the earliest friends, the friends who had been with each other the longest, and the friends who had participated in each other's lives the most, but Yanqing was unable to learn the last news about A Chong before he disappeared.
Even the news about the search later had to be heard from others.
Yanqing was discouraged, but he did not give up.
It doesn't matter. Making friends is a very difficult thing. He has grown up for so long and has only met one person whom he is willing to accept and can become friends with.
Ah Chong once said, "Fate" is a magical word. It's enough to explain the indescribable potential relationship between people.
Yan Qing was willing to believe in the fate between the two of them, so even if others said that the Star God was the incarnation of a cluster of concepts, even if people around him did not believe that those who became Star Gods could come back.
He will stick to it too.
As the general said, he has always been a stubborn child.
Sure enough, A Chong came back. When Yan Qing knew that the Star God would not return to the Immortal Boat from the Xingcha Sea, he came to pick up A Chong, and A Chong came back.
This must be inseparable from the word "fate".
Yanqing always believed that Ah Chong would never lie to him. Just like many people laughed at him, he actually believed that everyone had a guardian immortal.
But Yanqing still believed in it.
Ah Chong had the Light Cone Immortal, and the general had the God. So he believed that he would also have his own guardian immortal in the future, but he just hadn't discovered it yet.
Yanqing thought of this incident just to make it clear that he was indeed, without a doubt, A Chong's best friend!
Because Ah Chong is back, his guardian immortal appears and confirms that he is Ah Chong's best friend...
"Yanqing, look! You also have a guardian immortal, and that guardian immortal is me!" A Chong announced, patting his chest.
"I am the Immortal of Freedom!"
A lot of good things happened together.
Yanqing nodded heavily, believing in A Chong's words as always.
After all, he now knew the name of his last [Star Soul]—
[comfortable].
