Chapter 176: Change of Position
Xing and his group stood in the Sichen Palace, watching Yao Luo's sudden appearance, breaking the previous situation.
Originally, the Starry Sky Train was just a guest of the Immortal Boat, and was even detained by Yukong as a suspect. However, the appearance of Jing Yuan meant that this issue was not something that Yukong could decide at his level.
"Excuse me, I am Luofu's 'Cloud Cavalry General': Jing Yuan."
Jing Yuan's white hair covered half of his eyes, making it impossible to see what he was thinking. His tone was gentle, and he greeted everyone on the Starry Sky Train with a smile, completely missing the earth-shaking momentum that had just appeared.
"No, no, I just barged in here suddenly. I was so eager to protect my friends that I was a little abrupt."
Yao Luo also restrained his aura, and the golden lightning slowly retracted into his body, also posing like a law-abiding citizen.
"General, this is Luofu's internal matter."
Yukong turned his head to look at Jingyuan, as if he had some objections to Jingyuan's decision.
"Yes, it's an internal matter. I completely agree with Si Duo's idea."
Jing Yuan smiled and calmed Yukong's emotions.
"I'm sorry, everyone on the train, but the matter of the star core cannot be left to you to solve."
Jing Yuan closed his eyes and apologized to everyone on the train.
Yao Luo stared at Jing Yuan's face, which looked like he was planning something. He knew that things would definitely turn around.
"But since we are here, there is one thing I must ask of you."
Sure enough, Yao Luo thought to himself.
The situation on the Immortal Boat is now very complicated and unpredictable. Star Core Hunters, star cores that are about to explode, the secret teachings of the King of Medicine, and other forces are intervening in it. Jing Yuan will not let go of a good helper like the Star Dome Train.
"Not long ago, Luo Fu accidentally captured an important criminal, Blade, who is also a star core hunter."
Jing Yuan's dark golden pupils became serious, showing the importance of this information extremely secretively.
"His companion Kafka sent a communication message, but fortunately Taibusi intercepted it, and the target she sent it to was exactly..."
Yao Luo looked at Xing behind him. He knew that Kafka had a special and important meaning to Xing.
Star shook her head with golden eyes, indicating that everything would be left to Yao Luo to handle, and as a partner, she would support him unconditionally.
Yao Luo nodded and continued listening.
Jing Yuan implied that the person Kafka was in contact with was the Star Train.
"Of course, although the Taipusi side believes that the train and the Star Hunter must be in cahoots, I have great faith in your character."
Jing Yuan's attitude was very sincere and his voice was very contagious, making people involuntarily believe what he said. His words not only expressed his trust in the Starry Sky Train, but also hinted to Yao Luo and his party about the current attitude of the Xianzhou Alliance towards the Starry Sky Train.
"A big stick and a sweet date, what a master."
Yao Luo thought to himself that in the current situation, the appearance of the Starry Sky Train would definitely raise questions. If he wanted to clear his identity as a suspect, he had to follow Jing Yuan's words.
The attitudes of Jing Yuan and Yu Kong formed a sharp contrast. If he were an ordinary person, he would probably quickly develop a corresponding liking for Jing Yuan.
But Yao Luo knew very well that Jing Yuan and Yu Kong might have already made arrangements with each other. One played the good cop and the other played the bad cop, intending to use the power of the train as a surprise force in the current situation.
Yao Luo's brain was working rapidly, analyzing the current situation.
Fortunately, being used is not a bad thing. It is sad to have no value to be used. While the Xianzhou Alliance is using the train, the train is also taking advantage of the "momentum" of the Xianzhou Alliance.
The Xianzhou Alliance is so powerful that it is difficult for ordinary factions to seize such a good opportunity and reach a cooperative relationship with Xianzhou. Yao Luo also believes that this opportunity is rare.
Yao Luo also expressed his extreme politeness. Even if he wanted to leave now, no one could stop him even if he took his companions with him. But he did not want his portrait to appear on Xianzhou's wanted poster.
"Xianzhou has ways to deal with the problem of the star core, but Kafka hiding in Luofu is a disaster."
"The Star Core Hunters have brought you all to Luofu, so you and I can just take advantage of the situation and bring Kafka to justice."
"First, we can clear up the dirty water that the Star Core Hunter threw at you. Second, we can also figure out the connection between the Star Core and the Star Core Hunter."
"I will use my status as a general to allow you to move freely in the Immortal Boat. What do you think, everyone in the train crew?"
Yao Luo was silent. Jing Yuan's words were impeccable. Although it was an open conspiracy, the train crew had to accept the task.
Yao Luo looked at Walter behind him. Although in terms of strength level, Yao Luo might have surpassed this former predecessor, he still had to ask him for advice on how to behave.
Walter had been weighing the pros and cons of Yao Luo's presence since his appearance, and of course he noticed Yao Luo's look.
Walter turned his glasses, but turned his head to look at Xing.
"Xing, what's your opinion?"
Xing's gray hair swayed as she thought. After a moment, she spread her hands and expressed her opinion.
"We don't have a choice at this moment."
Yao Luo turned around and Xing had the same idea as him.
"No, no, no. Of course you can just stand by and leave. After all, this is Luofu's internal affairs." Jing Yuan performed impeccably and changed the subject.
"But if you still think of the Immortal Boat and treat me with sincerity, Luofu will embrace you with sincerity!"
With the final word, Yao Luo and his group no longer had any reason to refuse and nodded in agreement.
"Excellent, it's a deal. I will give the order now, and have Yukong share all the intelligence and send out elite personnel to help you with the search."
Just as Yao Luo and the others nodded, Jing Yuan immediately spoke out the words he had prepared, as if he was afraid that they would go back on their word, causing Yao Luo to curse in his heart, "Old fox!"
Suddenly, Yao Luo saw Walter behind him making a gesture.
Although he had been away from the train for some time, he had not forgotten the secret code inside the train, which meant that it was time for them to communicate on their own.
Jing Yuan instructed the staff to leave some space for the train crew, and he stood aside, waiting for everyone's questions with a smile.
"Oh, I didn't even dare to breathe just now."
San Yueqi patted his chest, looked frightened, and complained to Yao Luo.
"Hey, aren't I also worried that something might happen to you?"
Yao Luo put his hands behind his neck, feeling a little embarrassed.
Xing tapped Yao Luo's shoulder with his hand. After feeling the solid touch, he breathed a sigh of relief as if a huge rock had been lifted from his heart.
"Just now, I almost thought you were going to start a fight."
In Xing's hands, the power of fire element to protect life lingered for a long time. When Yao Luo and Jing Yuan met just now, if something went wrong, she would have withdrawn.
"Yao Luo, you have grown a lot."
Walter also patted Yao Luo's shoulder with a smile, feeling gratified.
"Uncle Yang, everyone..."
Yao Luo looked around and hugged several people in his arms.
"Ah, Yao Luo, you are too enthusiastic."
Although March 7 complained, he did not resist.
After a while, Yao Luo let go of everyone. Although they had met on the train, that was just a letter of reporting safety. Now, he was truly back with his friends.
"Uncle Yang, there shouldn't be any omissions in my communication just now."
Yao Luo asked Walter seriously. All his behavior just now was based on Yao Luo's opinion. Although he collected the opinions of his partners, he was also arbitrary to a certain extent.
"No, Yao Luo, your judgment just now was perfect. If it were me, I would probably come to the same answer as you."
Walter shook his head at first, then affirmed to Yao Luo.
Facing a high-level leader of the level of the Xianzhou Alliance, Yao Luo's every move was neither humble nor arrogant, and was almost perfect.
"So our next goal is to look for Kafka's traces on the Immortal Boat and find relevant information about the star core?"
March 7th raised the corresponding question. Although everyone's goal has shifted slightly, with the help of Jing Yuan, it will actually be smoother than before.
"No, my suggestion is to split the troops into two groups."
The three of them focused their attention on Yao Luo again. As expected, Yao Luo...
"I will act alone. I will leave Kafka to you."
"Yao Luo!"
Xing and Sanyueqi looked at each other and showed an expression of "as expected".
Walter didn't look surprised at all. He knew Yao Luo's character and knew that he must have found some relevant information.
"I once had a brief encounter with the "Medicine King Secret" organization. My intuition tells me that they must be hiding a vital secret."
Yao Luo told what he had experienced, and Sanyueqi and the others immediately connected the monster Yao Luo mentioned with the "abundant evil creature" they had encountered before.
"Yes, those guys look scary. A beautiful girl like me can't stand being frightened."
San Yue Qi took two steps back, as if he was thinking of some space horror movie.
Walter pondered for a moment and confirmed Yao Luo's idea.
"Indeed, considering the special nature of "abundance" in this land, Yao Luo's consideration is not unreasonable, and I believe General Jing Yuan will understand it."
Just like that, the Starry Sky Train crew finalized their next itinerary. On March 7, Star, and Walter would act together and follow Luofu's Cloud Cavalry to capture Kafka.
Yao Luo, on the other hand, planned to have a "friendly" conversation with the organization that wanted to invite him.
There are two more chapters, but they will be later. You can rest early and read them tomorrow.
