Right now.
Blade is still being hunted down by Mirror Stream.
Blade has already given in to that crazy woman, Mirror Stream.
They've been chasing me for so long... and they're still relentlessly following me like a ghost.
Meanwhile, Ren was still hoping for Zhou Xiao's help.
He had been circling around the area near where he had first met Zhou Xiao for a very long time with Jing Liu, but he still hadn't seen Zhou Xiao arrive.
When is this guy finally going to arrive?!
After circling around again, Ren still couldn't find Zhou Xiao and couldn't help but wonder.
Could they be lost? It's been so long and they still haven't come...
His phone was destroyed by Jing Liu, otherwise he would definitely have called Zhou Xiao...
...
at the same time.
At the Taibusi, the train crew was following Qingque to the Gongzaosi.
Along the way, all I could hear was Qingque lamenting and complaining about herself.
"Ugh...why couldn't I have run faster back then?"
"Or maybe I shouldn't even be there..."
"Now it's all messed up, I can't slack off anymore, and I can't play cards..."
Listening to Qingque's complaints, Xingmei simply shrugged and glanced at Walter.
"Miss Qingque is really..."
"Really what?" Qingque sighed. "I know what you want to say... Just take it as me saying something casually, complaining a bit, please don't take it to heart."
"To get to this construction office, we need to take a star raft... Are you all immune to star raft motion sickness?"
"That's natural..."
Upon hearing everyone nod in confirmation, Qingque then asked, "Does anyone here know how to pilot a star raft?"
"?"
"You can't drive?" Xingmei asked in surprise.
“Not really…” Qingque denied, “I just wanted to… relax a bit. Never mind, I’ll drive it.”
Upon hearing Qingque's words, Xingmei could only declare that when it comes to slacking off, she considers Qingque the strongest...
...
The group arrived at the port of the Industrial Construction Bureau aboard a starship.
As soon as they disembarked from the Star Chariot, Star Sister sensed that March 7th seemed to be in worse condition, so she took the initiative to ask him about it.
"March...are you alright?"
At this moment, March 7th looked unwell, spoke little, and lacked his usual lively and cheerful energy.
It seems that since Zhou Xiao left the Starry Sky Train, she has lost much of her liveliness. Now that Zhou Xiao has left with the Star Core Hunter, it is difficult for her to smile anymore.
"It's nothing... what could possibly happen to us?" March 7th said, indicating that he was fine.
"If you feel unwell, you must speak up..."
"Yes, I know."
On March 7th, she composed herself and tried her best not to think about what had just happened at the Temple of the Apostles...
"Hey, hey, look... why are there so many craftsmen at the entrance of the Crafts and Works Bureau?"
Just as Xingmei was talking to March 7, Qingque, who had disembarked from the Star Raft, seemed to have noticed the situation in the distance and spoke up.
"They...are they waiting to get off work?" Xingmei touched her chin, somewhat puzzled.
"This looks like... something happened inside," March 7th interjected casually.
“...”
"That makes sense. Let's go take a look."
The group walked toward the entrance of the Industrial Bureau, and before they had taken two steps, they saw a familiar figure gathering around the commotion on the side of the road.
Xingmei has sharp eyes; even from a distance, she felt the figure looked familiar. Upon closer inspection, she raised an eyebrow.
"Forty dollars... ma'am."
"??"
Hearing Xingmei's voice, the girl turned around and was surprised to see it was Xingmei: "It's you..."
"Wait, what's the name of this 'forty-dollar lady'? It sounds so familiar..."
"Oh! I remember now! Zhou Xiao called me that too! Have you met him?"
When Ms. Forty mentioned Zhou Xiao, March Seven's face visibly froze... while Xingmei beside her said in surprise, "How did you know? My master calls you that too?"
"yes..."
"What are you doing here... Where is Miss Tingyun?"
Hearing Xingmei's question, the woman with forty dollars paused for a moment before speaking:
"I was just joining in the fun, of course. There was a loud bang at the Construction Bureau, so I came here to see what was going on. As for Miss Tingyun... I don't know where she went."
"After I was taken to the Tianbo Bureau for questioning, I didn't see Miss Tingyun... Wasn't she with you?"
"No..." Xingmei shook her head.
"I don't know... Maybe he's busy with something else." The woman with the forty-dollar shrugged, not really concerned about where Tingyun had gone.
"Have the suspicions about you been cleared?" Xingmei asked the question that Walter was most concerned about.
"Of course! I'm a legitimate citizen... It's just that Miss Tingyun was using her position for personal revenge. She felt that I found the person you were looking for before that little brat, making her lose face... That's why she gave me a hard time." The woman with the forty dollars patted her small chest and said.
“Miss Tingyun… she shouldn’t be that kind of person, right?” March 7th said slowly.
"That's not right. You can know a person's face but not their heart. Haven't you heard the saying that society is simple but people are complicated?" Ms. Forty said, looking at March 7.
“A tired joke…next one.” Upon hearing this, Xingmei realized that the woman with the forty-dollar bill had zero sense of humor.
"Speaking of which... what exactly happened inside the Construction Bureau?" Qingque quietly raised her hand and asked, eager to hear the juicy gossip.
