Star Railway: The Pioneer's Journey

Chapter 134 Let's go ask Shence.

Finding a small ornament is not easy.

However, according to Qingni, although she cherishes Yu Kong's pendant, it is not really valuable... at least from the outside, it is the kind that no one would bend down to pick up if it was dropped on the ground.

Qingni is coming, I've been listening intently.

The little lion, barking, blinked and led the group around the central hub of the Star Chariot Sea twice before quickly finding the small ornament.

As Qingni said, it was indeed not a particularly valuable material.

However, when they actually found it and saw what was inside, Yunzhi and Lan fell silent.

—That little pendant contains a portion of the embers from the Emperor's Bow and Arrow.

......

"Not valuable enough?"

The Smile of the Clouds.

Qingni immediately held the pendant with extra care: "No, this is the most precious thing Mother has on her. We must be careful and protect it."

"I...I...I'll have Mother go buy the most expensive fabric from Xianzhou right away!"

At this moment, the fox-woman's will to survive reached its peak.

"Okay, just kidding."

Yun Zhi waved her hand: "It's not that exaggerated. It's fine as it is. But, does Yu Kong always carry this with him?"

Qingni was also puzzled: "I know Mom cherishes this, but I never knew there was something else inside... uh, the embers of Guangya."

You can't say "other things," it's too disrespectful.

"Take it back," Yun said casually.

Originally, I ran out to help people find something just to avoid the rumors spread by the storyteller. Even though I actually found it, I didn't feel anything special.

At most, I can only say that Lan is quite popular in the Immortal Boat Alliance. Although she has a considerable number of haters, it's not too much of a problem.

Qingni nodded, but she couldn't help but look up at the star rafts flying around in the sky.

That was her dream.

But my mother never allows it.

She understood her mother's concern, but this was a dream she had held onto since childhood.

"This is something that aviators usually hang in their starships to pray for good luck."

Holding the embers of the hunting arrow, praying for good luck?

Yun turned to look at Lan.

—How come I don't remember this person having a Luck A attribute bonus?

Lan: I really want to tell them that I can't actually bring them good luck. Can't we ask them to use a more reliable object to pray to? Even the music box from [Tong Xie] is more reliable than it.

Xing couldn't bear to look at Qingni's dejected expression.

"Why? My mother clearly kept this sacred relic on her person, so she must still miss her life as a pilot. But why doesn't she want me to become a pilot?"

"How about... I help you?"

Xing asked.

Qingni was taken aback and looked at her: "? How can I help?"

"Shall I try to persuade them?" Xingyi shrugged.

After a heated debate elsewhere, Xing felt incredibly awesome, so awesome that he could verbally defeat all rivals and look down upon the world.

Yun Zhi decisively raised her hand and slapped the back of her head: "Why are you meddling in other people's business?"

Don't end up pleasing neither side.

"But Lord Yu Kong is definitely not an unreasonable person."

Xing covered her head, pretending to have tears in her eyes.

When Xing first met Yu Kong, she felt that she was very responsible. Although the first meeting was a little unpleasant, Yu Kong did help them a lot later on.

Moreover, she could empathize with Qingni's situation...

After all, he was given away by his mother to someone else right after he was born.

—What's so special about empathy?

"Yu Kong isn't an unreasonable person, but no matter what, this is someone else's family matter." Yun Zhi looked at Xing with a headache: "I really don't want to get involved."

Lan was deep in thought.

"As for flying... I remember, she used to be a very skilled pilot."

Qingni's eyes lit up: "Does Lord Siming remember Mother's past?"

How powerful was my mother back then? Even the Emperor of Bows and Fates knew about her?

The little fox girl's eyes sparkled.

Lan turned her head away uncomfortably.

That's not really called remembering... that's called intuition telling Him.

It's like when you want to know something, you have to specifically look it up in a book to find out.

Yun Zhijian felt a little uncomfortable and changed the subject: "He is indeed an outstanding pilot. I once thought he caused trouble while flying the Star Chariot and was brought before the Divine Strategy Army. Later, he joined the Cloud Cavalry and was once a hero among pilots."

But at some point, she began to refuse to fly.

He even refused to let his daughter become a pilot.

"That really piques my curiosity."

The sound of stars drifted by softly.

Yun Zhi rubbed his forehead.

"Fine, if you want to go, go. Just don't go too far."

Xing is determined to achieve her goal this time, right?

The gray-haired girl tilted her head and smiled, then began to think about her next plan.

"Let's start by talking about Lord Yu Kong's past... Let's ask someone who knows the details."

An insider?

"Go find Shence, he knows all this." Yunzhi decisively sold Jingyuan out again.

Other acquaintances are younger and probably don't know much about flying, but Jing Yuan, at his age, should be well-versed in the history of Luofu, which is at least seven hundred years old.

Although I've been a bit busy lately, I should still have time to answer my child's questions.

Aren't you coming with us?

Xing asked.

Yun Zhi immediately shook his head: "Shence probably doesn't really want to see me."

Seeing him means I'll have more work to do.

Xing Liaoran pulled Qingni toward the Shence Mansion.

The two girls disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Lan finally spoke:

"Does Yu Kong hate me?"

He could know everything intuitively, but he couldn't truly perceive the emotions.

Yun crossed her arms: "What are you thinking about? I even brought your light arrow with me, so it doesn't seem like I dislike you."

Lan sighed softly, "It's truly heartbreaking that they still retain humanity."

I always find myself becoming sentimental without even realizing it.

"Humanity makes you flesh and blood," Yun Zhi replied casually. "Rather than becoming a star god devoid of emotion, I certainly hope you retain your humanity."

"Alright, don't be sad about this—Yu Kong shouldn't hate you."

"—Those who hate you are all in the Medicine King's secret teachings."
