Watching the holographic projection play frame by frame.
Sushang was completely stunned!
"Ah…!!"
She pointed shakily at the woman in the footage who was being stepped on by Welt, looking disheveled and on the verge of death. Her voice trembled as she said, "Th-th-this… This couldn't be Lady Yukong, right?!"
"Yeah, if that's not Yukong's face, then is it your master's master?"
"No way, how could you dare?!"
In all her life, Sushang had never seen such a scene.
That was the Palace of Astrum on the Luofu!
They beat up the owner on their own territory and were still jumping around outside?
"Oh my god! You guys… You guys aren't terrorists from somewhere, are you?!"
Looking at Zeig and Dan Heng, Sushang fearfully took a few steps back.
Holy crap! She had just been transferred over and immediately ran into evil forces.
What should she do now?
Bravely charge in? Or pretend she didn't see anything?
Luocha watched the footage with interest and smiled faintly. "This friend called Yang Transcendent is truly bold and skilled. Unlike me. Merchants are always the ones who get bullied. I'm the most timid and afraid of trouble. Haha."
"What did you feed Mr. Welt?"
Dan Heng crossed his arms and looked at Zeig in astonishment.
According to Welt's original personality, even with a hundred times the courage, he wouldn't ride on Yukong's head right after entering the Luofu.
"Eh, you saw that?"
"Mm. Before you and March got off the train, you fed Mr. Welt something strange."
With a bit of thought, Dan Heng roughly guessed what happened.
No wonder.
When Mr. Welt got off the train earlier, his mental state had seemed a bit off!
"Whether he took drugs or not isn't important anymore." Zeig shrugged. "What's important is, don't you think an alliance leader like that is super cool and handsome?!"
Dan Heng nodded. "Indeed."
"Hey hey hey, don't say things like that in front of me… I just saw that man use Cloud Knights to smash the Palace of Astrum's gate. I'm a Cloud Knight too!"
Sushang's feelings were extremely complicated right now.
This black-haired man obviously wasn't an ordinary civilian. That being the case, the Dan Heng in front of her wasn't simple either!
"Oh, you mean that."
Zeig glanced at the Cloud Knights lying on the ground in the footage, looking half-dead, and said indifferently, "It's fine. Even though we beat them up, we treated them afterward."
"You beat them up and then treated them?!"
"Yeah."
"Isn't that the same as provocation?!"
"No difference."
"..."
"Earlier I seemed to hear that in the footage, you all were referred to as the Nameless passengers of the Astral Express. Is that correct?" Luocha smiled.
"Mm." Dan Heng nodded without denying it.
"I suppose you must have come to resolve the disasters on the Xianzhou. Luocha is truly fortunate to witness such heroes in person."
"Heroes?"
Sushang widened her eyes. "They rode on Lady Yukong's head. Can that still be called heroes?"
"Haha, quite a character of a hero, isn't it?"
Luocha looked at Zeig and Dan Heng and smiled. "Heroes don't necessarily have to be nice old men who always think of the bigger picture and compromise everywhere. I don't think these friends are great villains either. There must be a reason behind the attack on the Palace of Astrum."
"Is that really the case… This lady will tentatively believe it for now."
"Don't be anxious. There's more."
"Ah?"
Immediately after, Zeig smiled and pressed the remote.
The holographic projection showed another scene.
It was a wide square.
A youth stood facing a man whose face was written all over with "invincible."
Dan Heng silently watched the light and shadow on the screen, his eyelids twitching involuntarily.
They really had beaten General Jing Yuan's disciple.
By the time they saw Yanqing get one-punched by Welt at the end, Sushang had already taken out her phone to call the Cloud Knights.
"Hello… Cloud Knights? I want to report something."
A voice came from the other end of the phone: "Report something? Brother, you're Little Sushang from the Yaoqing, right? I remember your voice. Aren't you a Cloud Knight yourself? What are you reporting?"
"Oh right… Sorry, bye."
Beep beep beep—
"..."
Sushang looked awkwardly at the three men and laughed. "Haha… You guys continue. Continue."
Dan Heng's gaze landed on Zeig as he asked, "Is it really okay to do this? What if the Luofu seeks revenge later?"
"Just leave."
Zeig said confidently, "We're just here to clear the Stellaron. Why should we be restricted by the Xianzhou? Screw giving them face!"
"That makes sense too." Dan Heng nodded lightly.
Sushang said in shock, "So you just took action directly? You really don't want to suffer even the slightest grievance?!"
"What, is that not allowed?"
"Haven't you heard the philosophy that when you're a stranger in a strange land, you have to endure all the losses…?"
"?" Zeig narrowed his eyes. "Friend, what score did you get in language class?"
"26."
"..."
"This isn't a language issue. Haven't you heard of 'when in Rome, do as the Romans do'? Look at me. Even after being transferred from the Yaoqing, aren't I obediently listening to the leaders here?"
Zeig looked at Sushang disdainfully and suddenly asked, "Did your superior tell you the real situation on the Xianzhou?"
"No."
"I heard that the Antimatter Legion buried TNT all over the Xianzhou, so I was called to evacuate the civilians."
"Huh, TNT? What era are we in that people are still burying that stuff?"
Zeig sighed. "See, you don't even know the truth and just came over in a daze. What would you do if one of us three was a big villain?"
"That can't be." Sushang scratched her head. "Even if you and Brother Dan Heng are villains, as a Cloud Knight, I still have to protect Luocha and help him escape, right?"
"My dad and mom taught me from a young age that as a martial artist, I must protect civilians. Work for the happiness of the people and the development of the Xianzhou, and dedicate my whole life."
"How much is your salary?"
"2,000 credits a month."
"My dad said I'm still a new recruit. Once I move up a bit, it'll be higher."
"…Luocha, what's your monthly net profit?" Zeig turned to look at Luocha again.
"Huh? Me?"
Luocha smiled gently. "Just barely enough to get by. Speaking of which, Brother Zeig is the truly selfless one. From what I know, the financial situation of Nameless passengers is inherently unstable. Yet under such circumstances, you still busy yourselves with saving various planets. That is truly worthy of the world's admiration."
Dan Heng shook his head. "Ever since Zeig joined, he actively demands payment for us. No need for you to worry about that."
Luocha still smiled. "But where does the payment go? No matter how much, doesn't it ultimately end up being used to save the world?"
