Collapse Iron: My Past Life Revealed, I Was Everyone's White Moonlight

Chapter 198 Heading to Sichen Palace

Lu Li sighed inwardly.

He truly didn't know what to say to Jing Yuan when he saw him.

He originally intended to find an opportunity along the way to temporarily detach himself from the main group.

But the whole journey was just about fighting monsters.

There was simply no opportunity.

We have to think of a way...

[Lu Li, you seem reluctant to go with them?]

As if sensing Lu Li's thoughts, Bai Heng's voice rang out at the right time.

"Nonsense." Lu Li rolled his eyes inwardly. "Didn't you hear me?"

"Next, we're going to see the captain of the Sky Ship Company, Yu Kong."

"That's a high-ranking official in Luofu. If we meet her, how far are we from meeting Jing Yuan?"

And it's not just not far, it's practically immediate...

【Jingyuan…】

But Bai Heng lowered his voice upon hearing this.

He's a general now... I wonder how he's doing...

"...I don't know if he's doing well or not."

"But I know that if I see him, I will definitely not have a good time."

Why?

Bai Heng was somewhat puzzled.

【We're comrades with Jingyuan. He'll be so happy to see you're still alive.】

"Happy? I feel like he'll not only be happy, he'll want to capture me, dissect me, and study me!" Lu Li retorted.

"Have you forgotten that I'm currently in a state of 'amnesia'?"

"If a 'comrade' from seven hundred years ago suddenly comes back to life, having lost all his memories, and appears before you, what do you think Jingyuan would think?"

Bai Heng thought for a moment.

If I were in this situation... well...

Bai Heng fell silent.

She may be naive, but she's not stupid.

Upon hearing Lu Li's words, she realized the seriousness of the problem.

"Therefore, I must find a chance to slip away before I see Jing Yuan," Lu Li said decisively.

"I'd better not meet with Jingyuan until I'm fully prepared."

【But……】

Bai Heng hesitated for a moment.

[Luofu is very dangerous right now. You're acting alone... what if something happens?]

"Don't worry, I'm a tough nut to crack," Lu Li said confidently. "Besides, don't you have me?"

"You're a humanoid walking weapon now!"

[Who...who is a humanoid self-propelled weapon?!]

Bai Heng's voice carried a hint of embarrassment and annoyance.

Lu Li was too lazy to argue with Bai Heng.

His mind was racing, trying to figure out a way to escape.

Feigning illness?

No, that's too old-fashioned.

And Walter will definitely see through it.

Lost?

Not at all.

Although Bai Heng is here, Luofu is no different from an unfamiliar map to him now.

I'm completely unfamiliar with this place; it would be hilarious if I actually got lost.

Just as Lu Li was racking his brains, Ting Yun suddenly stopped in front of him.

Tingyun turned back to the four people and smiled, "Everyone, we've arrived. Please take a look."

"That's the headquarters of the Heavenly Ship Bureau, the Sichen Palace."

Following her gaze, everyone saw a magnificent and solemn mansion appear before them in the distance.

March 7th asked curiously, "Is that the Sichen Palace...?"

"That's right." Tingyun smiled. "In short, we're completely safe here."

"I should have shown you all around so I could show you around and be a good host, but given the current circumstances, we need to go to Sichen Palace first to inform Lord Yukong of our purpose."

"Let's hurry and go."

Seeing Tingyun's seemingly impatient expression, Xing asked with some confusion, "Miss Tingyun, why do you seem to be in such a hurry?"

Tingyun was taken aback for a moment upon hearing this, then smiled wryly and said, "Oh dear, it's not that I'm in a hurry, it's that I'm afraid if I handle it too slowly, Lord Yukong will blame me, and I can't bear that responsibility."

"Is that Lady Sky Soaring really that scary?" As if recalling what happened in Belleburg, March Seven swallowed hard. "I remember you saying she was very kind?"

After a moment's thought, Walter looked at Tingyun and said, "There must be some preparations for an audience with the Six Ministries. Please rest assured, Miss Tingyun, we will not go anywhere else."

"Please inform them in advance that we will be waiting at the entrance of Sichen Palace shortly."

Tingyun paused for a moment upon hearing this, then glanced at the four people in front of him and smiled, "Well... alright then."

After bowing respectfully, Tingyun departed in the direction of Sichen Palace.

Seeing this, Lu Li grew increasingly anxious.

They're almost out of the beginner's village.

If we don't come up with a solution soon, we'll really be dragged to see the boss!

What should we do?

Just as he was getting so anxious he was about to tear his hair out, he suddenly caught a glimpse of an inconspicuous little stall on the side of the road.

It was a food stall.

Although it's completely empty now.

But the stall also displayed some oddly shaped things that looked like food.

As if he had just thought of something, Lu Li's eyes lit up instantly.

Got it!

Lu Li glanced at the three people who were still discussing what to do next, then walked towards the stall without making a sound...

Walter turned his gaze away from Tingyun and shook his head: "This foxy girl works too fast, I can hardly keep up... Maybe she's been idle for too long."

"Let's seize this time to catch our breath. Is this our only free time?"

Upon hearing this, Xing stroked his chin as he looked in the direction Tingyun had left, saying, "This Miss Tingyun... seems quite cunning."

Walter thought for a moment: "She's not exactly cunning, she just puts herself first in all her considerations."

"Moreover, it is wise to take precautions when encountering suspicious individuals of unknown identity. Her subsequent haste only shows that she was afraid of taking responsibility and wanted to pass this trouble on to her superiors."

Xing nodded upon hearing this: "But judging from Tingyun's appearance, that guy named Yukong doesn't seem easy to deal with."

Walter smiled and said, "Don't worry, we're not going to fight her."

"We act with integrity and honesty, there's nothing to be afraid of."

March 7th pursed her lips and muttered, "We were pretty upright in Belleburg too..."

Walter: "..."

star:"……"

Walter coughed twice: "Anyway, just a heads-up, please be on your guard during the upcoming meeting."

Upon hearing this, March 7th thought for a moment and asked, "Uncle Yang, are you worried... that this meeting with the commander of the Immortal Ship will repeat the mistake we made in Belleburg?"

Walter shook his head: "No, the Immortal Ship Alliance wouldn't be so rude, but when this Sky-Soaring One receives us, he will definitely ask a series of questions."

"For example, why did we choose this time to come to the Celestial Ship? How did we learn that this catastrophe was related to the Star Core? Who revealed information about the Celestial Ship to us?"

"A careless answer could easily arouse suspicion, making subsequent actions more difficult."

Upon hearing this, March 7th suddenly understood, but then became distressed: "What should we do then?"

"Both Xing and I are tongue-tied and tend to say the wrong thing easily."
