Coward?
No, no, no.
How can this be considered cowardice?
This comes from the heart.
This is how the bluebird expressed it.
This is a wanted criminal who dared to break into the prison and rescue a serious offender despite being guarded by so many Cloud Cavalry... and she's just a lowly clerk in the Ministry of Divination...
The monthly salary is so meager, there's no need to risk your life against a wanted criminal...
Besides, she couldn't beat him anyway.
Qingque cleared her throat, then took two steps back slightly.
Look.
They are so sensible.
If those Yanqing, Sushang, and Xueyi were as sensible as her, they would have suffered so much less...
...
While Qingque was brainstorming, Zhou Xiao exchanged a few words with the train crew.
When Walter saw Zhou Xiao, he pushed up his glasses and said, "Indeed... it's been a while since we last met."
"Mmm." Zhou Xiao nodded, then walked up to Kaffa, looked at her floating in mid-air, stroked his chin, and said:
"Yo yo yo, isn't this Kaffa? It's been a few days... and you've gotten so bloated?"
Hearing her master say that, Xingmei stood behind Zhou Xiao and, imitating Zhou Xiao's manner, pointed at Kafka.
Kafka: "..."
Seeing Zhou Xiao, she finally realized who Xingmei's infuriating act just now resembled.
So, like master, like apprentice!
They've set a bad example!
They've corrupted everyone!
Kafka calmed herself down. Faced with her teammates' harsh criticism and taunts, Kafka could only console herself with "I can't beat them, I really can't beat them."
"Ah Xiao, why are you here to meet me? Where's Ah Ren?"
"Oh, him? He's still being hunted... He's busy, so Silver Wolf sent me." Zhou Xiao replied, then put Kafka down.
Kafka landed smoothly on one foot, and seeing her flex her wrist, she raised an eyebrow slightly: "Who on earth is chasing him? It's been so long and it's still not over..."
“I suspect that a woman named Jing Liu has a thing with Ren, otherwise she wouldn’t have been chasing him all this time,” Zhou Xiao said.
...
Watching Zhou Xiao and Kafka converse so naturally, March 7th felt an indescribable feeling welling up inside her.
It really... looks so natural.
March 7th's mood went from surprise and joy when she first met Zhou Xiao to this point of despair.
Zhou Xiao greeted and spoke to Walter and Xingmei, but he didn't say anything to her...
Not only that...
Kafka called Zhou Xiao "Xiao," and Zhou Xiao naturally agreed and chatted with Kafka. This naturalness made her feel like a stranger.
It's only been a short time since we last met... how could things have changed so much?
Looking at Zhou Xiao's profile on March 7th, her eyes reddened slightly, as if tears were welling up. She couldn't accept this stark contrast in Zhou Xiao's demeanor...
"Ah Xiao...it's time to go, there are still two places to go." Kafka checked the time and then said to Zhou Xiao.
"You really don't treat me like a human being." Zhou Xiao said, indicating that he had spent a lot of time getting here and was now being moved again without even having a sip of water.
"You'll get some rest in a bit."
"Alright then." Zhou Xiao nodded, then glanced at the train crew behind him and said, "See you later, everyone."
"Zhou Xiao..."
Seeing that Zhou Xiao was about to leave, Walter called out to him before March 7th could even speak.
"What's wrong, Uncle Yang?" Zhou Xiao asked.
“Hmm…” Walter paused for a moment, then said, “Come back, Zhou Xiao, we came to the Immortal Ship this time to find you…”
"Yes, yes, Master, come back. I just learned from Kafka why you left back then." Xingmei also pleaded with Zhou Xiao to stay.
"If there are difficulties or dangers, we can face them together..."
"Um..."
Hearing everyone's pleas for her to stay, Kafka, who was about to leave, stopped and waited quietly for Zhou Xiao.
Kafka and the train crew were on opposite sides of the Qiong Guan Zhen formation, while Zhou Xiao, in the center, became the focal point of their choices.
Kafka wasn't worried at all about Zhou Xiao running off with the train crew, because she knew exactly why Zhou Xiao had joined the Star Core Hunters, so... she wasn't afraid of the train crew trying to persuade Zhou Xiao to stay.
Just as she expected, Zhou Xiao refused to return to the Starry Sky Train.
"I'm sorry, everyone... I can't go back for the time being." Zhou Xiao refused the three members of the Star Train crew in the same way he had refused Dan Heng.
"There's something very dangerous... about me, or rather, something that exists within me. As long as it's with me, I'm in danger... I can't even distinguish between illusion and reality, truth and falsehood... Staying on the train is like being a bomb that could explode at any moment..."
Zhou Xiao briefly explained his situation:
"So... I can't go back to the train until I figure everything out... I hope you can understand."
After listening to Zhou Xiao's explanation, Walter paused for two seconds before speaking: "Zhou Xiao, every member on the train has a mysterious past. They may be dangerous or mysterious, but the moment they join the train, they all have only one name... Nameless Guest."
"No matter what happened in the past, no matter what the future holds... as long as we're all here, we can get through anything... Come back, even if you don't want to, don't stay with dangerous beings like the Star Core Hunters..."
