After seeing off the train group and the miserable squid duo, Jing Yuan looked at Fu Xuan meaningfully and asked, "Have you explained things?"
Fu Xuan nodded: "The matter has been mostly handed over, but..."
Fu Xuan hesitated halfway through his sentence.
“Speak freely, Fu Qing,” Jing Yuan asked with a smile.
"General, if Miss Tingyun is indeed, as we suspect, an incarnation of the Great Lord Huanlong, do you think we can handle having just two people monitor her?"
Fu Xuan sighed.
"Don't worry, Fu Qing. You know Lin Mo's strength. He can handle a non-physical Annihilation Lord. Besides... with the Envoy Seed... he might be the next General Luo Fu. As for that guy, if I'm not mistaken, his goal is the Star Core and Jianmu. Before he arrives at Jianmu, we might be able to lure him out and kill him."
Jingyuan comforted him.
If we don't mention Lin Mo becoming a general, it might be some consolation.
However, Fu Xuan wasn't as defensive as expected this time. Instead, he said with a sigh, "I'm not worried about Lin Mo, but I'm afraid something might happen to Qing Que..."
"Although she is a bit lazy on weekdays, has much less patience than other employees, and causes so much trouble that people want to kick her out, she does have some ability and talent."
"But what does this little bit of talent mean in the eyes of the Great Lord of Annihilation?"
"What if someone is careless and gets possessed by Huanlong..."
Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan patted Fu Xuan on the shoulder and said, "I believe in the effectiveness of the Soul Lock. Lin Mo doesn't need that kind of thing, but he will definitely put it on Qing Que."
"With this, even if Huanlong were to personally possess Qingque's body, it would be guaranteed that Qingque's soul would not be disturbed."
"Even if something unexpected happens, at least it can hold out until I completely resolve the conflict between the Star Core Hunters and the outsiders..."
"Then... I'll have a good look at this intruder named Huanlong..."
As he spoke, Jing Yuan's gaze was no longer as leisurely as usual; instead, it became sharp and profound.
...
"Oh my, that really scared me to death! When the Jianmu tree was growing, Lin Mo and I were hiding in the library eating snacks when suddenly a huge branch of the Jianmu tree fell down, scaring us so much that we spilled our snacks all over the floor!"
Qingque patted his chest and sighed.
Lin Mo waved his hand and agreed, "That's life, full of surprises. So take a break and relax for a while, because who knows when trouble will come knocking?"
"Hey, can you stop stealing my lines?!"
Qingque crossed her arms and complained.
March 7th, who was following behind, scratched his head and said speechlessly, "Why do they still have the leisure to flirt with each other when their family is about to go bankrupt?"
"Relieve stress? Maybe they're all smiles on the surface, but inside they're so scared they can't even move..."
"So you tell two jokes to make yourself look less pathetic?"
Xing analyzed.
Uncle Yang suddenly became interested: "He probably wanted to ease the tension so we wouldn't be so nervous. After all, although this isn't our first time dealing with star cores, it's our first time coming into contact with Jianmu."
"Hmm, according to what the general said, that thing must be quite powerful." March 7's thoughts drifted to the Jianmu tree.
Xing then shrugged and sighed, "Anything associated with the Star God, isn't it some kind of heaven-defying thing?"
March 7th put on a stern face, crossed her arms, and said, "Are you introducing yourself?"
Amidst laughter and conversation, the group successfully arrived at the Industrial Construction Company.
As soon as they disembarked from the starship, they saw countless employees of the Engineering Department fleeing in panic. Many mindless, demonized machines were baring their fangs and claws, a truly terrifying sight.
Among the employees who fled, there was a girl whom Lin Mo and Qing Que were particularly familiar with.
Unfortunately, she was cornered by a demon, holding only a stiff wrench, and fighting desperately against the demon-possessed creature in front of her, with nowhere to retreat.
While one or two toad-shaped mechanics wouldn't pose a problem for the girl, the enormous golden human-shaped mechanic behind them was not something an ordinary person could handle.
"It's that serious! Let's go help!"
Seeing this, March 7th couldn't bear it and said.
But before he could finish speaking, Lin Mo had already grabbed the Danqing longsword and fled into the distance.
"Lin Mo! Don't be impulsive!" Xing instinctively reached out to stop him, but she was too late.
Qingque wanted to go forward to help, but the general's and Fu Taibu's admonitions before leaving came to mind, so she stopped and turned her gaze to Tingyun beside her.
Looking at the demonized mechanical artifact in front of him, which was being corrupted by the star core, Uncle Yang calmly analyzed, "Don't worry about Lin Mo, trust his strength, let's split up."
"On March 7th, you will go and evacuate the masses. I will handle the demonic artifacts in the south. Xing, you will be responsible for clearing out the evil creatures in the star core in the north."
"clear."
As soon as they finished speaking, the three of them quickly launched their rescue operation.
Only Qingque and Tingyun were left staring blankly at each other.
It wasn't just an accident caused by the tight schedule, but also Walter Yang's deliberate decision not to use Tingyun and Qingque.
...
After an awkward silence, Tingyun looked at Qingque and asked with a smile, "Miss Qingque, aren't you going to help?"
Upon hearing this, Qingque waved her hand and said, "Don't worry, even if the sky falls down in the Bureau of Works, Lin Mo will hold it up. Don't let his usual roguish and lazy demeanor fool you. When it matters, he's busier than anyone else. Although he's not as capable as the Grand Diviner, he's not much weaker."
Clearly, Qingque's words were a message to Tingyun, telling her not to act recklessly.
After all, the general's orders to himself were merely to buy time.
Is his ability comparable to that of the Grand Diviner?
The fierce killing intent in Tingyun's eyes gradually dissipated.
In fact, she had just been considering whether to cooperate with the Abundant Black Deer here, and use some of her own powerful energy to kill all the members of the Hunting Cart Group...
But after thinking it over carefully, she still felt the risk was too great.
First of all, Walter made her feel very insecure. If she didn't absorb the star core inside Xing's body, she didn't have absolute confidence in killing this man.
But she had a gut feeling, she didn't know where it came from, that if she killed this man, he would be resurrected in some way she didn't know...
Upon hearing that this librarian possessed such abilities, she completely abandoned her impulsive thoughts.
The bluebird, who was slacking off, had no idea that his words would have such a great effect.
In a way, it indirectly saved his own life, Lin Mo's life, and even the lives of the train crew...
