the other side.
With Tingyun, the "local expert," around, the group moved forward much faster.
After several more attacks by demonic soldiers.
As if he had seen something, Tingyun, who was leading the way, breathed a sigh of relief and turned around.
"My four benefactors, the entrance to the Starry Sea is just ahead."
Tingyun pointed to a magnificent gatehouse not far away and said, "Pass through there, and you will enter the core port and commercial hub of Luofu, Xingchahai."
"The Sichen Palace, where Lord Yukong resides, is located there."
Everyone looked up.
The gatehouse was dozens of meters high, with flying eaves, brackets, carved beams and painted rafters.
It is filled with an ancient and solemn atmosphere.
Below the gate tower.
Several soldiers dressed in Yunqi Army uniforms stood guard solemnly, holding long spears.
Seeing that there were still Cloud Cavalry soldiers alive, March 7th and Xing both breathed a sigh of relief.
Tingyun stepped forward, exchanged a few words with the guards, and presented a jade token representing her identity.
After confirming her identity, the soldier immediately saluted respectfully and opened the gate to Liuyun Ferry.
"My benefactors, please." Tingyun turned to the side and gestured for them to enter.
Walter and March 7th followed Tingyun inside without hesitation.
next moment.
Tingyun, who was leading the way, suddenly stopped, turned around, and said with a smile, "My benefactors, we have arrived."
Lu Li looked up and saw a bright and clear view before him.
They had left the oppressive cargo port, and magnificent buildings floating in the air came into view.
The star raft weaves between the pavilions, like a flowing stream of light.
Under the starlight, the antique buildings exuded a solemn and mysterious atmosphere.
Stepping out of the oppressive and dimly lit cargo port, the suddenly open view before them made March 7th and Xingdu exclaim in amazement.
"Wow—! Is this the Star Chariot Sea? It's so beautiful!"
On March 7th, she leaned on the railing, looking down at the endless stream of starry boats and the rows of pavilions and towers in the distance, her eyes sparkling with stars.
This sight was more breathtaking than the snowscape she had seen in Belleburg or the starry sky she had seen from the space station.
"Indeed...very unique."
Xing couldn't help but take out her phone and keep snapping photos of the fairy-tale scenery to record it all.
Looking at the familiar yet unfamiliar scene before him, Lu Li felt a mix of emotions.
Scenes that could only be seen on game screens before are now vividly presented before our eyes.
This feeling is truly amazing.
This place... seems even more lively than it was seven hundred years ago.
Bai Heng's voice echoed in his mind, filled with deep nostalgia and a hint of barely perceptible sadness.
Just a little further on is Changletian.
Back then, we loved going to "The Nightless City" to listen to storytelling and drink... I wonder if that storyteller is still around after all these years.
Lu Li could sense the disappointment in her tone.
Things have changed, and the world has transformed.
Seven hundred years is enough time to change far too many things.
He sighed silently to himself and softly comforted her, "Don't worry, once this is resolved, I'll show you around properly."
【Um!】
A hint of joy returned to Bai Heng's voice.
"Gentlemen, this way please."
Tingyun's voice interrupted their reminiscences.
She smiled and led the way: "Sichen Palace is just ahead. Please follow me, my benefactors."
The crowd followed her as they walked down the street.
Although Luofu is facing a star core crisis, the order here does not seem to have been greatly affected.
The streets were still bustling with pedestrians.
They were in a hurry, and their faces showed some tension.
Everywhere you look, you can see squads of Cloud Cavalry soldiers, dressed in armor and carrying long spears, patrolling.
A chilling atmosphere permeated the air.
"Speaking of which, Sister Tingyun," March 7th asked curiously, "didn't the sky screen reveal a lot of things before?"
"It's that... Cloud Five Warriors or something."
"Are people in Luofu all talking about this now?"
Upon hearing this, Tingyun paused slightly, then turned around and smiled, "Of course."
"That was a momentous event that shook the entire universe, and Luofu was no exception."
"Especially that nameless hero... who single-handedly severely injured the Envoy at the last moment and was willing to sacrifice himself for his comrades, is now the hottest topic in Luofu."
The nameless hero who single-handedly crippled the envoy at the last moment and was willing to sacrifice himself for his comrades... isn't that Lu Li?
Upon hearing this, March 7th immediately became interested: "Really?"
Tingyun smiled and nodded: "Of course it's true."
"Storytellers have turned his story and the Five Heroes of the Clouds into new storytelling performances, which are sung in teahouses and are very popular."
"Speaking of which... it's quite a coincidence."
She glanced meaningfully at Lu Li and chuckled, "It seems that your benefactor Lu Li shares the same name as that [Lu Li]."
"Of course, after all, Lu Li is... mmm!"
Before March 7th could finish speaking, Lu Li swiftly covered her mouth.
"Ahem." Lu Li coughed twice, then smiled awkwardly at Ting Yun, "Kids are just curious and don't know any better, please don't mind."
March 7th struggled violently, emitting "woo-woo" protesting sounds.
You're the one who's a child!
Your whole family are children!
Watching the two of them playfully bickering, Tingyun laughed heartily: "My benefactor Lu Li and Miss Sanyue have such a good relationship."
Her beautiful fox-like eyes curved into crescents, but deep within them lay an icy coldness.
Lu Li...
And that knife...
Is the man in the sky the same person as the lazy man in front of me?
But Tingyun quickly dismissed her idea.
No, the man in the sky is indeed dead.
After all, that was something everyone saw with their own eyes.
But it cannot be denied that this man named Lu Li is indeed hiding many secrets.
but……
Tingyun glanced at Lu Li and the other three thoughtfully, without leaving a trace.
During their conversations along the way, she learned that they had come for the Star Core.
That being the case.
maybe……
Tingyun's lips curled up slightly.
Then let her make good use of it.
And on the side.
Lu Li had no idea what Ting Yun was thinking.
All he wants now is to shut up March 7th, that big mouth.
After all, if she keeps talking, she might expose all his secrets.
And there's one more thing.
That means... if things continue like this, he'll really have to meet Jingyuan in person!
Although he knew that as long as he stayed on Luofu, he would eventually meet Jingyuan according to the plot.
But... at least let him prepare and mentally prepare himself!
