Chapter 154: I can’t take them along to fight…
The military performance ceremony went smoothly, and the Yunqi Army did not make many moves, thanks to Jing Yuan's arrangements and the tacit consent of General Zhu Ming and General Yao Qing.
All I can say is that those in power always have a way to deal with it, and they are used to playing tricks.
The night before the martial arts ceremony, San Yueqi was so nervous that he couldn't sleep. Lu Qi waved his hand and brought all the people to his mansion.
Lu Qi had lived in the Chiming clan's mansion for quite some time, and almost everything inside had been replaced with styles she liked.
The scenery looks pleasant from the outside and is full of the characteristics of Luofu culture.
The exquisite eaves are like jade, the hanging lanterns are painted with ink dragons, and the clear pool in the yard is somehow made to flow like a brook.
Large lotus leaves spread out on it, reminding Sanyueqi of the pond at the entrance of Suiyuan.
The architectural style of Luofu is very uniform, but most of it shows traces of high technology.
Whether it's the flying mechanical bird or the star raft that freely shuttles through the sky...even the hanging lanterns are actually just light bulbs wrapped in cages.
However, it is this little thing that has gradually formed the current appearance of the Luofu Fairy Boat.
Lu Qi's home is very quiet.
The maids passing by would only bow silently. Their steps were so light and their voices were so soft that even March Seven's voice became low.
"Am I being too loud?"
"It's okay," Lu Qi patted San Yue Qi's shoulder. "No one would laugh at you even if you climbed trees and walls here, but I will pick up the camera and take pictures."
"Who would climb trees and walls in someone else's house?"
Lu Qi pointed to the largest tree in the courtyard.
"Qiong."
The two turned a corner and arrived at the courtyard where Lu Qi often stayed. In the courtyard outside the courtyard, there was a tree that was obviously too tall, and a familiar figure like a monkey was hanging on the trunk.
The gray-haired young man was hanging upside down, his coat almost hanging to the ground, and his hair fell down with it, revealing his slightly childish face.
The amber eyes reflected the figures of his companions.
"Lu Qi, March 7th--" Qiong moved his body exaggeratedly to indicate that he was saying hello.
March 7th's eyes widened in fear.
"You, be careful!"
"You won't die from the fall," Qiong said calmly, rummaging through his upturned coat pocket. "Watch me demonstrate eating peanuts upside down—cough cough cough cough—"
"What are you doing?! Don't eat upside down! Look, you're choking now!"
The peanuts choked Qiong's trachea and she fell from the tree. She was pulled up by Sanyueqi and given a scolding.
After Lu Qi approached, he punched him in the stomach first, successfully helping him solve the problem.
The gray-haired raccoon patted his chest with lingering fear.
"I was so scared. I thought I was going to die at Peanut's hands."
"If you know the danger, don't do it!"
A series of strange operations made San Yueqi forget his nervousness and start complaining.
The two people in the courtyard were still chatting. Sanyueqi couldn't argue with Qiong and was immediately led astray by him to climb the tree.
Lu Qi declined their invitation and retreated back to the hall. As soon as she stepped in, she was enveloped by the refreshing coolness and misty scent, and a familiar ocean scent came into her nose.
Salty.
It was probably the atmosphere fragrance created by Banxia and the others. They said it smelled the same as Boyue Guhai, and it has been very popular among the Chiming tribe recently.
In the hall, Dan Feng and Dan Heng sat on either side, both with the same face. Although they were doing different things, at first glance, they still had a nostalgic sense of intimacy.
And it looks like Danfeng is split into two... It's magical.
Lu Qi sat down next to Dan Feng. Dan Heng, who was not far away, frowned slightly and looked over at him gently.
The girl with white hair and golden eyes was keenly aware of the gaze and smiled brightly without hesitation.
He was stunned for a moment, then quickly frowned.
Even friends have their differences, Dan Heng knew this. He could only watch as Lu Qi smiled at him and then spoke to another person in a friendly and natural manner.
They were very familiar with each other, and when they talked, they were very close. It was a distance that others could not intrude upon, and it was separated from him by the torrent of time, which could not be crossed.
Dan Heng looked away, but he couldn't help but hear their conversation.
"Have you compiled all the evidence?"
"Yes, I sent it to Jingyuan."
"Eh... aren't you going to handle it yourself?" Lu Qi asked curiously, "I thought the internal affairs of the Chiming Clan would be handled by Chiming Longzun himself."
Dan Feng glanced at her sideways.
"Even if they are from the Chiming Clan, they are still members of the Immortal Boat," the black-haired man said calmly, "If a Chiming Clan breaks the law, they will be sent to the Ten Kings Division."
The integration over thousands of years has long become a habit. Dan Feng has been in the fairy boat since he was born.
Even those dragon masters who possess strange methods of reincarnation can only glimpse the past prosperity in history.
It is precisely because of the gap between the records and the current situation that some people have more greedy ideas.
In the past, Dan Feng was immersed in the deliberately created atmosphere. Even if he said that it had nothing to do with him, he still took it to heart.
Now, perhaps because he had died once and left behind regrets, every minute and every second they were together was a dream-like time that he had stolen.
It was a pearl newly born from the dust of past pain, his one and only treasure.
He won't be held back anymore.
"That's fine," Lu Qi nodded. "The internal affairs of the Chiming Clan... Ha, what internal affairs are there now? They're just a bunch of old guys in disguise struggling to survive. That's how it should be."
The main reason why the Chiming people have been able to struggle to this day is that their physical fitness is much stronger than that of ordinary Xianzhou people.
There are many Chiming people and fox people in the Yunqi Army, but the number of tribesmen consumed by constant battles is gradually decreasing.
No one can solve this decline.
The Chiming tribe is unable to reproduce, and sooner or later their inheritance will be cut off. Lu Qi can understand the anxiety of some people, but he does not intend to take on this burden.
Simply put, when civilization develops to a certain level, it will eventually die out.
When she and Akivali explored different planets together, they also saw the abandoned human civilization.
It is up to each person to choose whether to save the person or not.
However, no matter what the reason is, it is not a reason to sacrifice others.
The elders of the Chiming tribe in the Luofu Immortal Boat really touched the bottom line of others.
"Please send me a copy of the information as well," Lu Qi said, "I want to write to other Dragon Lords... By the way, do you have their contact information?"
***
Putting the matter of the Chiming tribe aside, Lu Qi didn't care about it after writing and sending the letter. She had more important things in her hands now.
The martial arts ceremony began, and she took the time to watch the competition on March 7th.
San Yueqi has a solid foundation and looks like a decent fighter.
Qiong met an old acquaintance and left March Seven behind to become his coach. March Seven came down from the competition field, howling that she was abandoned, and pulled Lu Qi's sleeve to ask her to be his coach.
Lu Qi doesn't want to be interviewed by reporters when he is a coach.
San Yueqi turned his gaze to Dan Heng.
"I refuse."
"You two... have such cruel hearts!" March Seven said pitifully.
The martial arts performance ceremony was held as normal. Lu Qi only watched the competitions of those he knew. After watching, he went back to the Dan Ding Division to experiment with the proportions of new drugs.
Feixiao is busier than her, but he still takes time out to come and be her experimental subject.
When the ceremony came to an end, Lu Qi's work also came to an end.
All that remains is to wait for the "Moon Madness" to attack and conduct the experiment.
Feixiao's strategist, the poisoned fox man named Jiaoqiu, came to visit more often than Feixiao himself. He came to help Lu Qi.
He wanted to learn Lu Qi's medical skills, but he couldn't replicate them.
Just like it is impossible to learn Si Ding Lingsha's sense of smell, they are all innate talents.
"What kind of talent is that? It's just some random encounters," Lu Qi said nonchalantly. She cut off the roots of the newly grown plants and threw them into the boiling water. "I'm far behind you in terms of knowledge."
"Master Lu Qi, you're joking," Jiao Qiu said softly, "Your medical skills are far superior to mine."
"Don't belittle yourself. Everyone has their own strengths. At least I can't make medicinal food. You'll have to take care of General Feixiao's subsequent physical conditioning."
Lu Qi comforted him casually.
I can't just tell Jiao Qiu that her method is completely dependent on the power of a rich destiny.
Well, never mind, any power that can be used is good power!
Troubles piled up one after another, and the elders of the Chiming tribe announced that she and Danfeng should come forward as witnesses.
It was another martial arts ceremony to defend the ring. Sanyueqi was defeated in the middle, and Yanqing came out to defend the ring again. His opponents were basically acquaintances.
Lu Qi even saw some acquaintances from Pinocchio... Why were these people wandering around everywhere? Don't they have their own work to do?
During this period of time, Lu Qi wished he could break himself into two halves.
After being busy all the way, I finally arrived at the end day with some bumps and bruises.
The Starry Sky Train was the first to leave.
Qiong, Sanyueqi, and Danheng were stranded in the Luofu Fairy Boat for a long time. Miss Ji Zi and Mr. Walter, who drove the Starry Sky Train to help Ms. Heita deliver the rare objects, contacted them on the Fairy Boat and said that they had already docked outside the Fairy Boat.
You always have to say goodbye before leaving. The three people on the Starry Sky Train were fine when they said goodbye to others, but they were a completely different person when they found Lu Qi.
"Please, come with me!"
"Yes, yes, come explore with us!"
Sanyueqi and Qiong were lying on the ground, one on each side, hugging Lu Qi's legs, shamelessly and not afraid of other people's surprised looks.
Danheng stood far away, determined to distance himself from the three of them.
But as soon as Qiong raised his head, he dragged him into the water.
"Dan Heng, come and try to persuade him too!" The young man with gray hair and golden eyes said with sparkling eyes, "You're also reluctant to see Lu Qi leave, right?"
“…Stop it.”
Lu Qi was not angry. She patted the little head gently with one hand.
"Okay, okay," Lu Qi said, "I also want to go play with you guys... but I have more important things to do now."
"Is it more important than us?" Qiong asked pitifully.
"You are more important," Lu Qi answered without hesitation, "it's just that things have different priorities. I'll come play with you after I'm done with my work."
It took a long time to coax the two clingy guys into submission. Qiong and Sanyueqi stood up, wiped away the non-existent tears from the corners of their eyes, and said goodbye to Lu Qi reluctantly.
After they left, Dan Feng, who had been watching them making a fuss, stood behind them and suddenly spoke.
"I thought you were going to leave with them."
Lu Qi likes adventure, and Dan Feng knows that she yearns for unknown areas... Just like the last time she saw her hundreds of years ago, she embarked on a new journey without hesitation.
"Well...even if I have to leave, I will take you with me," Lu Qi said with a smile, "but what I'm going to do next is really not suitable for them to do together."
You can't take them with you to fight Xingxiao, right?
If the Starry Sky Train gets damaged, she won’t be able to repair it.
