Xingqiong: Cocolia is pregnant, making Banya cry.

Chapter 263: Tingyun pretends to sleep

Walter expressed his understanding: "I was just about to ask Taibu to do this. Jianmu's resurrection will not be taken lightly by the top leaders of the alliance. They will most likely review every link."

"It's better to have less trouble than more. If the Starry Sky Train gets involved, I'm afraid it will be difficult to leave for a while."

Ji Chen silently sighed in his heart: "It's absolutely right to take Lao Yang with you when you go out!"

Fu Xuan nodded secretly: "Yes, Jing Yuan has violated many rules this time, and I have to deal with them one by one for him...Alas, the Cloud Cavalry generals are all very troublesome."

After that, Fu Xuan thanked the guests: "Before you set off, please take a good rest. If there is any place you want to go, you can go shopping. I have to take over the affairs of Yunqi for the time being, so I can't accompany you."

"By the way, if you pass by Xingcha Sea, I have something that I would like to ask you to pass on to Yukong."

Looking at the folding fan handed over by Fu Xuan, Xing recognized it immediately: "Is this...something left by Ting Yun?"

"Yes." Fu Xuan nodded: "At that time, the scene was in chaos. After the illusion appeared, Tingyun's body seemed to evaporate into thin air."

"The Cloud Riders only found the fan she was carrying. We cannot find out whether the Tingyun who was traveling with us was a puppet controlled by Huanlong or some kind of illusion."

"I have prepared for the worst. Judging from the Legion's style, the ferryman from the Skyship Division is probably in great danger."

"However, how to deal with Tingyun's matter should ultimately be decided by her fellow fox people. I have informed the Tianbo Division of the outline of the matter. I think it would be more appropriate for you to deliver this item."

Hearing Fu Xuan say this, San Yue Qi immediately lowered his head, feeling a little sad.

But soon, she found something wrong. Ji Chen beside her seemed to have just remembered something and raised his hand to knock on his head.

"What... is wrong with you?" San Yue Qi asked in a low voice, with a hint of anticipation.

"Nothing, let's go to Tianbosi to find Yukong first."

Ji Chen smiled and added silently in his heart: I almost forgot about the little fox.

"I understand. Leave this matter to us."

"Well, it's getting late. If you want to see me, please come to the Office of Instruction of the Taibu Division."

Leave the General's Mansion.

Xing said thoughtfully: "Fu Xuan seems to be doing a good job in her position as a general. When we pass by here next time, will she officially become a general?"

"I'm afraid it will take a long time."

During this period, Walter learned a lot more about Xianzhou: "The battle formation is only the smallest part of all the work of General Xianzhou. He has to deal with the Six Imperial Guards of Luofu, the investigation of the Ten Kings Division, and even the game with the top leaders of the alliance..."

"These negotiations that no one wants to face but have to be staged every day are the thorns on the general's throne that make people uneasy."

Hearing this, San Yue Qi suddenly felt sad: "I wonder if Fu Xuan will regret coveting the position of general after he has experienced all this."

"Don't worry. Although Fu Xuan is not tall, she is definitely very capable. In the entire Luofu Immortal Boat, no one is more suitable than her to take over the position of Luofu General."

Ji Chen said with a smile, which was also to clear Fu Xuan's name.

"It seems to make sense. Hey, you say, Jing Yuan's title is General Shen Ce. What will Fu Xuan's title be in the future? Could it be... General Shen Suan?"

......

Xingchahai Center, Tianbo Division.

A figure stood in front of Yukong, it was Xue Yi, the judge of the Ten Kings Division.

"In that case, please convey my intentions to the Ten Kings..."

Xue Yi nodded: "I will pass the message on, and please accept my condolences, helmsman."

Seeing the train group approaching, Xue Yi said goodbye, "Since you have guests, I will leave first."

After saying that, he turned around and quickly left Sichen Palace.

Yukong retracted his gaze and looked at the few people. His voice was a little low, but his eyes were full of sincerity: "Everyone, on behalf of the Tianbo Division, I would like to thank the Train Group for saving Luofu during the star core disaster."

Walter hesitated and said, "Lord Yukong must have heard about it, Miss Tingyun..."

"I know." Yukong said sadly, "When I saw four people leave and three people return, I understood..."

"Don't worry, Miss Tingyun is fine."

The sudden sound made everyone stunned, and then they all turned their eyes over.

Facing everyone's gaze.

Ji Chen smiled and said, "If Lord Yukong has time now, I can take you to visit her now."

"Please immediately..."

Yukong stopped talking as soon as he finished speaking, closed his eyes and said, "In this star core catastrophe, we lost many compatriots, brothers, sisters, children..."

"I'm really happy that Tingyun is fine, but the most important thing now is to hold a memorial service for the fallen soldiers of the Tianbo Division."

"Everyone, as witnesses of this battle, I would like to invite you to participate in this memorial ceremony. What do you think?"

Tingyun has worked with Yukong for more than 30 years.

The relationship between the two was no longer a simple superior-subordinate relationship. When she first heard the news of Tingyun's death, she was sad for a long time.

Now that he had heard Ji Chen's assurance in person that Tingyun was fine, he should have gone to visit him immediately.

But she is the helmsman of the Tianbo Division. Right now the Tianbo Division has suffered heavy casualties, so what she should do is hold a memorial ceremony to commemorate her comrades and cheer up the living.

After the visit to Tingyun is over and she, as the helmsman, has a chance to take a break, she will immediately ask Ji Chen to lead the way.

"Comfort funeral?" Walter asked doubtfully.

Yukong nodded and explained: "In the words of the short-lived species, it is a funeral. However, for the long-lived species on the immortal boat, the afterlife has always been a distant and vague concept."

"On normal days, before the signs of the demonic body appear, the guides from the Ten Kings will take the immortal boat people to the Karma Palace. After leaving their life experiences, they will return to the silent state. People are used to a short farewell instead of a complicated burial ceremony."

"The only ones who care about the afterlife ceremony are us, the fox people with a limited lifespan."

"In this disaster, countless Cloud Riders died or were reborn as demons. The Karma Hall didn't have time to record their lives, and they passed away."

"All hasty deaths, all unfulfilled wishes, are reminders that... our long and careful lives are but a few insignificant moments."

"I want to give those who have passed away a place to return to. I will use the methods of the Tianbosi and the funeral offerings of the fox people to place the deceased's remains on the star raft, send it out, and sail into the star to shine with it."

"This is not only to comfort the deceased and the souls who can no longer speak to us, but also to comfort their blood relatives, close friends and all the residents of the Immortal Boat who are left in the dusty world..."

"Everyone, may I take the liberty of inviting you to come and bear witness together?"

Ji Chen nodded seriously: "It's my honor."

Xing also spoke up: "What can we do?"

"Yukong would like to thank you all. I have asked the judge of the Ten Kings Division to convey the idea of ​​a memorial service. Next, I will go back to Xinggang to supervise the construction of the Star Raft and prepare for the ceremony. If you have any questions, please come and find me there."

"no problem."

......

Outside Sichen Palace.

Xing turned around and looked at Ji Chen, and asked suspiciously, "Is Tingyun really okay? But we saw her disappear with our own eyes that day. You weren't afraid that Yukong would be too sad, so you deliberately lied to her, right?"

"Do I look like a liar?" Ji Chen said with a slightly stern face.

"It doesn't seem like it, but for no reason, why did it suddenly..." Xing still couldn't understand what had happened, and his eyes were full of confusion.

"Later, when Yukong has a break, I'll take you to have a look."

After waiting for some time.

The funeral ceremony has been prepared.

Ji Chen and his group arrived at Kunyu Terrace in Xingcha Sea.

Under a clear sky.

In everyone's sight, one star ship after another set sail from the return star port, sailing neatly and gracefully in the sky, leaving behind a string of brilliant fireworks.

Almost everyone looked up and watched this scene.

Each star ship contains a soldier who lost his life in the star core disaster, as well as the belongings of the Tianbosi staff.

These items carry their souls and will follow the star raft into the bright stars and shine with them.

This is the fox tribe’s funeral ceremony, and it is Tianbosi’s way of bidding farewell to old friends.

on the street.

Almost everyone was shocked by this scene, and their hearts were filled with deep sadness and hope for the future.

Yukong stood at the very front, watching the countless star rafts gradually disappear into the Jade Realm Gate. All that emerged in his mind were familiar faces from the past.

......

The funeral ceremony is over.

Jing Yuan appeared at some point and came in front of the group of people on the train.

"Friends of the train group, before you leave Luofu, I have two things I want to give to the Starry Sky Train."

"Gift?" San Yue Qi turned around and looked at his friends: "The general finally found his conscience and wants to compensate us for our hard work along the way?"

Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Well, everyone, let's meet at the Shen Ce Mansion."

Then take two steps forward.

San Yueqi suddenly noticed that Ji Chen was standing there without moving, and couldn't help but wonder, "Aren't you going with us?"

"I'd better stay and accompany Yukong."

Ji Chen smiled and looked at Yukong who was still leaning against the railing with a sad look on his face.

San Yueqi opened his eyes, stopped walking, turned around and returned to Ji Chen: "Then I will stay and accompany Master Yukong too!"

Ji Chen felt amused, but of course he wouldn't refuse.

Jing Yuan's so-called gift was nothing more than a jade omen symbolizing the alliance between Luofu and the Starry Sky Train, and the pardon of Dan Heng's exile by the Ten Kings' Division, allowing him to come and go freely in Luofu in the future.

There was really no need for Ji Chen to go through all of this.

Let the calm and steady Walter and Danheng himself deal with it.

After a while.

Yukong turned around, looking much better. He sighed and said to the two people waiting: "I once held the same ceremony in Fanghu Xianzhou. That was thirty years ago. The painful memory will not fade away with time. I don't want to witness the same scene again."

Ji Chen didn't know whether the Luofu Immortal Boat would encounter something similar to the star core catastrophe next time.

All he could do was to ask, "How much more time will Lord Yukong need to take care of the chores? Then I can take you to see Tingyun without any worries."

Hearing the news that Tingyun was still alive, Yukong's tired eyes finally brightened up: "It's getting late, why don't you two follow me back to Tianbosi? Lunch has been prepared there. After a short rest, it will probably be enough."

"Alright."

......

In the afternoon.

In the center of Xingcha Sea, there is a relatively secluded house.

Ji Chen pushed open the door and invited Yukong in.

"Is this... Tingyun's house?"

Yukong looked around and saw the quiet environment here. The stone in his heart finally fell down.

As the ferry envoy of the Tianbosi and in control of part of the Xinghuo Merchant Corps, Tingyun is actually a very wealthy woman.

Many of the shops on the bustling streets of Xingchahai are owned by her.

This house was also purchased by Tingyun by chance, and he once invited Yukong to rest there.

Since Ji Chen knew this place and could open the door very skillfully, it proved that everything that happened before was true.

"Yes, it is Tingyun's house."

Ji Chen smiled and continued to lead the way: "In fact, from the beginning, I realized that Huanlong was a little bit wrong, and then I used some means to protect Tingyun from being hurt."

"But no matter what, Huanlong is one of the Great Lords of Extinction after all, and has a very deep understanding of the soul. Miss Tingyun is fine, but her spirit has been shocked and she has fallen into a coma for a while."

"That's why I placed her in this house to rest. Later, because I had too many things to do, I forgot to tell Master Yukong. I hope you can forgive me."

"No, I should thank you."

Yukong looked at Ji Chen sincerely with her beautiful eyes: "If it weren't for Mr. Ji Chen's rescue, Tingyun would have already..."

By the side.

March 7 looked at the two people talking and couldn't help but pouting.

Yukong may not even know that he is slowly being...

......

In a cozy room.

Tingyun put down the tea, raised his hand and rubbed his temple, looking very lazy: "I haven't had such a comfortable rest for a long time. Unfortunately, things outside seem to have ended, and it's time to follow the merchant group again..."

I thought half of it in my mind.

Tingyun's ears twitched and his expression suddenly tensed. He tiptoed to the bed, lifted the quilt and lay down directly on it.

It didn't take long.

The door was pushed open with a creak.

Ji Chen walked into the room first, and casually glanced around the girl's room. When his eyes fell on the tea table, he paused.

"Stop the cloud..."

I saw a girl lying on the bed with her head exposed.

Yukong finally breathed a sigh of relief, and for the first time, a smile appeared on his mature and melancholy face.

Tingyun is really fine. This is the only thing that makes her happy in recent days.

Ji Chen coughed lightly.

I have already guessed that Tingyun has woken up. Although I don't know why she is pretending to be asleep, I don't intend to expose her.

He turned around and said to Sanyueqi: "Let's go out first and let Yukong and Tingyun be alone for a while."

"no problem."

San Yueqi nodded in agreement.

"Thank you very much for your help." Yukong nodded slightly and thanked Ji Chen sincerely.
