Hehe——!!
Thud.
After Sushang came out of the portal, she fell flat on the ground.
"Huh, this ground is so soft!"
"Yeah. Get up. I promise I won't beat you to death."
"!!!"
Sushang glanced down at what was beneath her. It was a pretty face, but those pinkish-blue eyes held a clear intent to stab her.
"Sorry about that, didn't see the path clearly."
Sushang quickly got up, then helped March 7th to her feet as well.
"What's with you? We all came out from here, so why didn't those two fall?" March 7th pointed at Luocha and Dan Heng beside them.
"I don't know either, hahaha."
"Mr. Welt, I'm here." Dan Heng said in a deep voice.
"Mm."
Welt nodded.
Then his gaze fell upon Sushang.
"This young lady is…?"
Dan Heng introduced her. "This is Miss Sushang. She's the Cloud Knight who looked after and protected us from the start. We've been relying on her help along the way."
Hearing that, Sushang quickly said shyly, "It's nothing, really. It's all part of my duty."
Welt smiled and politely shook hands with Sushang. "Miss Sushang, thank you for taking care of our Dan Heng."
"Not at all… hahaha."
Immediately after, Welt shook hands with the next Dan Heng. "Dan Heng, I'm glad you could come support us. But is this really okay?"
"Don't worry, Mr. Welt. I know my limits."
"Mm, I believe you."
Welt let go of Dan Heng's hand and walked off to the side.
Seeing this, Luocha also smiled and extended his hand. "So your real name is Mr. Welt? I've long admired you!"
Welt smiled and walked right past the outstretched hand of Luocha, coming up to Zeig instead. This left Luocha's smile frozen for a moment.
"Zeig, you did well. As long as you brought Dan Heng back safely, that's what matters."
"It's what I should do."
Luocha: "…"
After a light cough, Luocha awkwardly withdrew his hand.
"Hey there, you finally made it!"
March 7th smiled at Dan Heng and whispered sneakily, "Did you watch Yang Chaoyue's Adventure Story?"
"I did."
"How was it?"
"It was actually pretty good. Almost couldn't recover from it."
"Hahahahaha!!"
March 7th let out a silver-bell-like laugh, overjoyed. "See? I told you so. People who don't know Uncle Yang can't appreciate the value of this film. Only those who know him can really feel it!"
"You're not actually going to show it to Miss Himeko too, are you?"
"Of course we are!"
"…"
"What? Wanna watch together?!"
"No thanks, no thanks."
Sushang looked around the group. Suddenly she asked in confusion, "Huh? Brother Zeig, where did you send the other Cloud Knights? How come I don't see them?"
"Same exit. They probably already left." Zeig shrugged.
"Hey!" March 7th laughed heartily. "When they first came out and saw Uncle Yang here, every single one of them was shaking in their boots. They ran off after barely saying a few words. You have no idea how scared they looked."
Welt: "…"
Luocha: "Haha, it seems Mr. Welt's reputation has already become known to everyone on the Xianzhou."
"By the way, what are your plans next?"
Welt ignored Luocha and walked straight past him, coming up to March 7th. "March, tell me honestly— have you guys been showing that film to people everywhere?"
Luocha: "…"
"No way!!"
March 7th said matter-of-factly, "Come on, Uncle Yang. You caused such a huge commotion, it's already spread everywhere, okay? Do we really need to drum up haters for you?"
She then pointed at Dan Heng. "Besides Dan Heng, who just arrived on the Xianzhou, and a very small number of others, everyone else already knows all about the great name of Yang Chaoyue!"
"…"
Dan Heng asked Welt, "Mr. Welt, what should we do next?"
Luocha: "…"
Welt shook his head. "There's nothing particularly urgent right now. Kafka of the Stellaron Hunters has already been escorted to the Divination Commission."
"Once Fu Xuan has everything prepared, we'll head over there to observe the interrogation."
"After all, the reason the Stellaron Hunters lured us to the Xianzhou is still unknown. We at least need to figure that out."
"Mm." Dan Heng nodded in agreement.
"So… did you run into a long-haired man?"
"Yeah." March 7th replied.
Hearing March 7th's words, Dan Heng's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly pressed on. "Where is he now?"
"Right here."
March 7th extended her fair hand and pointed to the side. There sat a long-haired man on the ground, munching on a banana.
"?"
Zeig suddenly looked up. "What are you all staring at me for?!"
"Dan Heng's looking for you."
"Dan Heng, why are you looking for me?!"
"…"
Dan Heng rubbed his nose, then carefully organized his words. "I meant besides Zeig."
"Oh, over there."
March 7th extended her hand again and pointed. It was another long-haired man, currently carrying a large white coffin on his back, standing off to the side in self-imposed isolation.
"That guy over there, Dan Heng's looking for you."
"Oh? Brother Dan Heng, what guidance do you have for me?"
"…"
"I meant…"
"You're asking about Blade of the Stellaron Hunters, right?" Welt said in a deep voice.
"Mm, Mr. Welt, do you know his current whereabouts?"
"I only have some guesses."
Welt pondered for a moment, then explained to Dan Heng what the three of them had initially thought. "At first, Kafka said on the Express that her companion Blade had been imprisoned by the Xianzhou in a dungeon."
"But after everything we've seen and heard along the way, it seems that might not be the case."
Dan Heng nodded and said in a deep voice, "Exactly. If he wanted to escape, the Xianzhou couldn't hold him."
"Right. So we speculate that he's already escaped by now. Otherwise, the General of the Luofu could have used him as a lead to capture Kafka, without needing to goad us into going."
After listening for a while, Dan Heng roughly sorted out his thoughts.
After arriving on the Xianzhou, Welt and the other two had originally planned to go deal with the Stellaron directly, but Jing Yuan and his people had declined that, instead throwing out the task of capturing Kafka.
During this process, two poor sods also got beaten up badly.
Afterward, they successfully captured the Stellaron Hunter Kafka and handed her over to the Divination Commission.
Now, the three of them were waiting in Exalting Sanctum for news from the Divination Commission.
"Mr. Welt, I've pretty much understood the general situation."
"But I still have a few doubts."
Welt said, "If you have doubts, just say them. I'll tell you everything I know."
"That plaza— are you really going to rename it to Yang Chaoyue Plaza?"
"…"
"Isn't that a bit… not great?"
"…"
"Mr. Welt, what's wrong?"
