Starry Sky Railway: Twin Origins

Chapter 87 General Jing Yuan of the Divine Strategy Army

Inside the Divine Strategy Palace, on the celestial vessel "Luofu".

"Yanqing, could you explain the current situation to me?"

The white-haired man sitting at the table slowly put down the documents in his hand, raised his eyes, and looked at Yan Qing and the people behind him.

Yan Qing stepped forward, cupped his hands, and said, "General, these people are from the Starry Sky Train..."

However, before he could finish speaking, the white-haired man waved his hand to interrupt him, saying, "No need to say more, the Sky-Driving Commander has already told me about their origins."

"I just don't understand." The white-haired man glanced at Lin Qiong and the others, then his gaze returned to Yan Qing. "Why did you bring them here?"

"General, these people are exceptionally strong. If we allow them to move freely on the immortal ship, it could have extremely serious consequences."

In response to the white-haired man's question, Yanqing replied with a solemn expression.

He paused slightly, then continued, "That's why Yanqing took it upon himself to bring them to the Shence Mansion to meet the General."

"Sigh." The white-haired man sighed softly, then slowly stood up, his tone tinged with helplessness. "Alright, you can go now."

"Yes!"

Upon hearing this, Yanqing immediately responded and then turned and left the Shence Mansion.

After Yan Qing left, only the white-haired man and Lin Qiong's group remained in the spacious Shence Mansion.

The white-haired man put his hands behind his back and looked back and forth between Lin Qiong and his group.

"To all passengers on the Star Train, it is regrettable that we meet in this way."

His tone carried a hint of helplessness, as if he harbored a slight dissatisfaction with this unexpected meeting.

"I am Jing Yuan, the Cloud Cavalry General of Luofu."

Upon hearing this, Walter Young stepped forward, placed his right hand firmly against his left chest, and performed a standard salute.

“I am Walter Yang, just call me Walter. It’s a pleasure to meet you, General Jingyuan.”

After he finished speaking, the other members of the train crew followed suit and each stepped forward to introduce themselves.

Jingyuan responded to everyone by nodding.

After everyone had finished introducing themselves, he paused for a moment, then asked, "May I ask what brings you all from the Starry Sky Train to 'Luofu'?"

As he spoke, Jing Yuan narrowed his eyes slightly, his tone revealing a profound and intriguing meaning.

He seemed to have anticipated the arrival of Lin Qiong and the others, but he did not reveal it directly. Instead, he quietly waited for them to explain their purpose.

Walter Young, realizing this, couldn't help but feel a sense of admiration.

He realized that the man before him was not only a powerful general, but also a wise man who was good at controlling the situation.

Walter Yang knew that the best course of action at this moment was to get straight to the point and state their purpose directly in order to gain Jing Yuan's trust.

"Some time ago, the train crew received a message about a 'star core' hidden on 'Luofu'."

"Our Star Train has just happened to jump to the vicinity of the Celestial Ship, so we have decided to take this opportunity to investigate this matter and lend you a hand within our capabilities."

He explained to Jing Yuan in detail the reasons for their visit and expressed his desire to establish a cooperative relationship with Xianzhou.

However, Jing Yuan gently shook his head upon hearing this.

"I'm sorry, everyone on the Star Train, but I must decline your offer regarding the 'Star Core'."

His voice was soft, but it reached everyone's ears clearly.

He continued with a serious expression, "Some time ago, we captured one of the 'Star Core Hunters'—named Blade."

"During his interrogation, Tabs intercepted a communication sent by his accomplice, 'Kafka,' and the recipient of that communication was your Star Train."

Upon hearing this, Walter Young frowned slightly, a serious expression appearing on his face.

He knew that these words coming from the mouth of the "Luofu" general were not good news for the Star Train.

If the Star Train is mistakenly identified as being in cahoots with the "Star Core Hunters," their situation will become extremely precarious.

In more serious cases, they might even be wanted by the entire Immortal Boat Alliance.

Seeing Walter Young's solemn expression, Jing Yuan slightly raised the corners of his mouth, revealing a reassuring smile.

"Please don't be alarmed. The Star Train acts with integrity and its reputation for courage and righteousness is renowned throughout the world. I believe that none of you could possibly be colluding with the 'Star Core Hunters.'"

Then, changing the subject, Jing Yuan's eyes suddenly sharpened: "But as I said before, it was a communication intercepted by our Taibusi, and its contents clearly point to your Star Train."

"Therefore, Tabu believes that there may be some kind of connection between you and the 'Star Core Hunters'."

As he spoke, Jing Yuan couldn't help but sigh, his face revealing an undisguised expression of helplessness.

Upon hearing this, Walter Yang finally understood the deeper meaning behind Jing Yuan's words.

Ultimately, even if Jing Yuan truly believed that the Starry Sky Train was not colluding with the "Star Core Hunters,"

But faced with irrefutable evidence and misunderstandings from the outside world, they must also take action to prove their innocence.

After thinking it through, Walter Yang immediately asked, "So, General Jingyuan, how do you think we should clear up this misunderstanding?"

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan smiled contentedly, seemingly unsurprised by Walter Yang's question.

"Since the 'Star Core Hunter' is deliberately luring you all to 'Luofu,' then we might as well go with the flow."

"As a general, I grant you all the authority to act as you see fit on the celestial ship. You are here to capture Kafka, who is lurking in the shadows!"

The immortal boat "Luofu" is Changletian.

"Uh... By the way, did you guys understand the conversation between Uncle Yang and that general?"

After leaving the Shence Mansion, March 7th scratched his head and asked the others beside him with a puzzled look.

"How did our conversation suddenly turn into us going to hunt down 'Star Core Hunters'?"

Hearing this, Lin Qiong rolled his eyes at San Yueqi and shook his head helplessly.

"The Immortal Ship is in complete chaos. It faces the threat of a 'Star Core' eruption from the front, the interference of 'Star Core Hunters' from behind, and other forces lurking in the shadows."

"Under these circumstances, they simply don't have the extra energy to capture Kafka."

As he spoke, Lin Qiong spread his hands, a helpless expression on his face.

"Jing Yuan cleverly exploited the fact that the 'Star Core Hunters' were sending us messages, making us willingly help them capture people."

Upon hearing this, March 7th frowned and said somewhat displeasedly, "Huh? Then weren't we being used?"

"Sigh, there's nothing we can do about it. It's better for us to capture them than for us to be captured by the Immortal Boat Alliance, right?"

Lin Qiong sighed and shrugged helplessly.

He originally thought that by bypassing Yu Kong and going directly to Jing Yuan, he could avoid those tedious procedures and get straight to the point.

However, plans can't keep up with changes, and now Jing Yuan is sending them to find Yu Kong to find out what's going on.

"Sigh, I hope it ends soon."

Lin Qiong muttered to himself, speaking in a voice only he could hear.

He then started walking, and together with the others, headed towards the direction of the Tianbo Division.
