"Brother Dan Heng, Miss Sushang, shouldn't we get moving?"
Luocha looked around and faintly heard the roars of some monsters.
"Staying here too long isn't safe either."
Dan Heng said calmly, "You're right. But when that lady arrived, she should have cleared out many of the nearby enemies. We're temporarily safe for now."
"I see. Brother Dan Heng is quite observant."
Dan Heng turned to look at Sushang again. "Miss Sushang, how much do you know about the Luofu lockdown?"
Sushang scratched her head, thought for a moment, and said, "I heard that they found Antimatter Legion bombs somewhere!"
"..." "?"
Under Dan Heng's silence and Luocha's confusion, Sushang continued, "For safety reasons, the entire Luofu has to be locked down. It'll only open after the bombs are cleared. I don't know if it's true."
"The Antimatter Legion is truly clever. I've gained some insight." Luocha smiled faintly.
"Anyway, that's the situation. The higher-ups sent me to evacuate the civilians at Cloudford."
"…How long have you been in the Cloud Knights?"
"Not long… but this lady has received strict Cloud Knight training since childhood!"
"My dad and mom are both famous people on the Yaoqing! …Otherwise I wouldn't exist. So from the moment I was born, they've educated me very strictly. Don't look down on me just because I'm a new recruit~"
"So you're a new recruit."
Dan Heng stroked his chin thoughtfully.
If they were normal Cloud Knights, given their vigilance, both he and this Luocha would probably have been escorted away for questioning.
"Although I'm a Luofu Cloud Knight now, I still think the Yaoqing is better… Take the leadership for example. I don't think General Jing Yuan is as reliable as our female general on the Yaoqing!"
"Good! I recorded that!"
"?"
The voice came from the spot where the Herrscher of Sentience had been standing earlier.
The three followed the sound and saw a black-haired man walk out with a smile.
"Wow, who are you? You suddenly appeared—were you doing magic?!" Sushang covered her small mouth in shock.
There had been nothing here just moments ago, and this person had suddenly popped out with a "whoosh"!
"Uh, wait… What did you just say? You recorded what I said?"
Sushang caught the key point and anxiously walked toward Zeig.
"Um… Brother, let's talk nicely. Why record my voice out of nowhere… Please don't send it to General Jing Yuan."
Seeing Sushang's cautious appearance, Dan Heng sighed helplessly. "It's fine. He was just saying it casually. He didn't actually record it."
"Who says so?"
Zeig raised an eyebrow, held up his phone, turned the speaker to maximum, and played it: 'Although I'm a Luofu Cloud Knight now, I still think the Yaoqing is better… Take the leadership for example. I don't think General Jing Yuan is as reliable as our female general on the Yaoqing…'
Hearing that familiar voice, Sushang's face turned pale with fright. She trembled as she spoke, "Big Brother… You were serious!"
"Of course. When I, Zeig, play, I play for real!"
"Oh? This brother seems quite interesting. Hahaha." Luocha smiled.
"Zeig, why did you come here? Did you specifically have that lady find my location earlier?" Dan Heng asked.
"No no no."
Zeig shook his head. "I was just unlocking map exploration progress. The Herrscher of Sentience happened to see you and left a beacon here, so I came over to take a look."
"Mm. I understand."
Dan Heng nodded. "My phone seemed to have been hacked earlier, so I couldn't send messages to you. It only just recovered."
Zeig said leisurely, "It was about the same on our side. We could watch videos and play games, but chatting didn't work."
"Huh? So you two actually know each other?"
Sushang looked at the two curiously, then negotiated with Dan Heng, "Brother Dan Heng, could you persuade your friend to delete what I just said… If General Jing Yuan finds out, I'll be wearing small shoes."
"It's fine. I'll buy you a bigger pair of shoes later." Zeig smiled.
"I'm not talking about that kind of shoe!"
Dan Heng looked at Zeig with some confusion in his expression. "Zeig, why were you recording when you arrived? Hurry and delete Miss Sushang's recording. Don't scare her."
"Oh, you mean this."
"I was recording what Fu Xuan from the Divination Commission said earlier. I also recorded General Jing Yuan's, and it was even captured on camera. I have to keep some evidence, right? So they can't go back on their word after promising something."
"Uh…"
For a moment, Dan Heng actually didn't know what to say.
Why did interactions with the Xianzhou need to be cautious to this extent?
"Did something happen to you, Mr. Welt, and March on the Xianzhou?"
"We ran into something big!"
Zeig stepped closer and vividly recounted, "Do you know the Helm Master of the Sky-Faring Commission? The alliance leader beat her up and even tore down her Palace of Astrum!"
"What? This…"
"And that's not all!"
Zeig continued, spreading his hands and stating seriously, "You know Jing Yuan's disciple Yanqing? He got beaten up by the alliance leader too! It was tragic. He almost succumbed to mara from the anger and blood rushing to his head, and finally fainted from rage!"
"This… Was this done by Mr. Welt? That seems unlikely, right?"
Deep down, Dan Heng didn't believe Welt would do such a thing.
Mr. Welt had always been a person with restraint. How could he start a massive fight right after entering the Luofu?
Besides… with the Luofu's combat strength, they shouldn't be that weak.
"You don't believe me? As a companion, you don't trust me?!"
"I wouldn't believe a single punctuation mark from you or March." Dan Heng said calmly.
"?"
Zeig turned to Sushang again. "Li Sushang, you don't believe it either?!"
"Hm? Ah? You mean… the part where you guys beat up Lady Yukong and Lord Yanqing? I… I think there might be some exaggeration in that."
"Besides… I'm a Cloud Knight, you know. Is it really okay to tell me this?" Sushang muttered.
"Bishop, you don't believe it either?!" Zeig said to Luocha.
"Eh? Me?!"
Luocha was stunned for a moment, then shared his view. "…My name is Luocha, haha. Secondly… assaulting the Helm Master of the Sky-Faring Commission and General Jing Yuan's sword disciple should be a serious crime."
Luocha chuckled softly. "I can see that although this brother appears reckless on the surface, his eyes aren't that simple. He should be a person with restraint. If what he says is true, there must be a reason behind it."
"The bishop understands the situation best!"
After listening, Zeig gave Luocha a thumbs-up, then took out a projector.
"I've been wanting to show this to others for so long. It's been killing me. Let me show you Yang Transcendent's Adventure!"
"Ah?"
