Chapter 136 Mirror Stream
As it was already afternoon, everyone on the train crew had worked hard for the general's mission all day, and it was time to take a short break before continuing their busy work.
So Cheng An and Dan Heng put off looking for Yan Qing until the next day.
They found the designated inn based on Uncle Yang's location, had a good rest for the night, and did not go out until near noon the next day.
The first stop they agreed on was Xingcha Sea.
As for why, it was of course Cheng An’s suggestion.
Dan Heng never really cared about where he was going. Apart from helping his partners, he rarely had any place he wanted to go.
Xinghe Sanyue had just captured Kafka, which was a victory for the two girls. They were in high spirits and were sightseeing, eating and drinking in places like Changletian, and helping out public officials they met on the way.
In short, these are things that he doesn't need to worry about.
On the other hand, Cheng An, who had been planning to travel alone after arriving at the Immortal Boat, seemed to be the one who needed care.
After a long conversation with Jing Yuan, he felt less confused, but there were still some unclear mysteries lingering in their minds.
Originally, he wanted to walk around Luofu to relax his complicated mood along the way, but during his conversation with Sanyue and the others, he learned that Cheng An did not go with them, but turned around and went to Taibusi again.
I think, as the person at the center of the mystery, she herself is the one who is most troubled by what is happening to her.
Therefore, ever since she landed on the Immortal Boat, she has not rested at all, and has been busy trying to reveal intelligence and her own affairs without making a sound.
Since everyone is in a bad mood, why not go out together?
With this in mind, Dan Heng decided to go with Cheng An to look for Jing Yuan's apprentice, the boy who was a little angry and thought he could catch the Star Core Hunter Blade by himself.
Unexpectedly, he thought the girl should be tense, or at least a little tired, but when she met this man at the inn, she looked very energetic, at least on the surface much better than him.
I always feel like I'm worrying in vain.
Dan Heng didn't know whether to sigh or be thankful. Well, she is Cheng An, it's not strange that she is different from normal people.
But she seemed very positive about Yan Qing's matter. Not only did she quickly decide on the destination they were going to look for, she also said, "If we go there tomorrow, we should rest and recuperate well," and then she fell into a deep sleep.
The young man had long been accustomed to this prophetic look. In fact, it was quite obvious, whether it was the panic of "one family fighting one family" when she first met the cowboy or the advance agreement with Swarlow, he was almost certain that this person's time-travel experience allowed her to know too much about the future.
But whether she was worried about the butterfly effect or because history cannot be changed, she didn't dare to say much and only dared to tell others some trivial information.
This seems to be a secret that Jing Yuan doesn't know.
Since it was such a little-known matter, he naturally would not make it public. Teacher Danheng, who always understood the limits between people, decisively chose to know but not say anything.
Keeping one's mouth shut is a fine tradition of every cool guy, and Teacher Danheng fits this profile perfectly.
So he didn't ask anything, but followed Yan and Cheng An to Xingcha Sea the next day.
This is the first stop of the train when it arrives in Luofu. It is considered a port as well as a checkpoint. All kinds of illegal immigrants, criminals, and conspirators like to come here.
The maze-like arrangement of containers and the abundance of evil creatures hidden in every corner have resulted in very few ordinary people in this area, making it very difficult to find people here.
But there is also an advantage, that is, it is sparsely populated, so the various sounds are easier to distinguish.
Dan Heng and Cheng An both had good hearing, so soon after going deeper they caught the clanging sounds of metal colliding with each other and the whistling sounds of flying swords breaking through the air.
Of course, the howling of evil creatures was also mixed in, so the noise was quite loud.
The two men went where the sound came from, sometimes taking the main road, sometimes going directly over the container, and soon the sound of people talking could be heard.
"This, how is this possible?" - This was undoubtedly Yan Qing's voice.
"Little brother, what delayed you this time?"
Hearing this, Cheng An didn't know whether to sigh that the plot was like this or to feel sad about the long-awaited reunion with his master.
But in the end, she didn't have time to think about all this before she was discovered by the sharp Jing Liu. The cold sword light came towards her, and Yan Qing seemed to realize that there was someone here, so he also controlled a flying sword to attack.
Are you treating them as the rich evil creatures and targeting them?
Cheng An screamed in his heart while he and Dan Heng dodged the two fierce swords on the left and right.
She quickly jumped onto the top of the container, and the moment she looked up, she saw the cold tip of the sword.
Cheng An: "..."
No, does this scene look familiar?
"Master, it's me, Cheng An!" She saw the black cloth covering Jingliu's eyes at a glance, and her heart was shocked, fearing that the evil spirit of this man had committed an offense.
"Of course I know. I'm just testing your progress." As she said that, she swung her sword again. Cheng An quickly summoned his own sword to block it, and then the two of them started fighting on top of the container.
"That's too much, Master. We rarely meet, but the first thing you do is check my homework!" Even as she said that, she didn't dare to relax at all.
Although she is definitely not as good as Jingliu in terms of swordsmanship, she still has her own strength. Chunmei is not as protective of her as Xunlie Lan, but at least she has some real strength. She will definitely not be beaten away by her master like before.
The two people here were fighting with red and blue lights interlaced, Yan Qing below was stunned, and Dan Heng next to him was holding Jiyun in his hand, ready to make a move.
Until Jing Liu leaped back and a sharp sword light slashed down from mid-air, and Cheng An responded by blazing with flames all over his body. The soaring red flames were like a shield for the enemy, and the scorching temperature blocked the cold sword.
White steam rose up faintly, Jing Liu landed not far away and watched his unharmed apprentice's face emerge from the white steam and red flames.
It was just a fight, and neither side showed much strength. However, as an experienced fighter, Jingliu could still easily feel the improvement in the strength of his young disciple.
"You've made considerable progress, but unfortunately your swordsmanship hasn't improved much." This was very rare for the usually aloof master, she actually praised her.
"Great! Thank you, Master! I can fight much better now than before." Seeing that his master's temperament had softened, Cheng An's tone turned cheerful.
Seeing that the two men had stopped fighting, Dan Heng took two steps forward and looked at the "old friend" in front of him whose figure he had only vaguely seen in his memory.
"Long time no see, Yinyue." Although covered with a black cloth, Jingliu, who was in a good mood and condition at the moment, easily recognized Danheng's breath. She greeted him with a slightly emotional tone.
"I'm not Dan Feng. I'm just Dan Heng, an unknown guest." The young man shook his head.
Sure enough, Cheng Anxin sighed in his heart that he could not escape Teacher Danheng’s famous sayings.
"Dan Heng is a good name. Nameless Guest is also a good identity. Traveling the universe like Bai Heng once did is a good choice for you."
As if not paying attention to Dan Heng's slight awkwardness, Jing Liu nodded, and very much agreed with his old friend's choice this time.
"Um...teachers?" A weak voice came, gently interrupting this awkward reminiscence.
The three of them stood on the container, and it was like a sudden large-scale show of old friends getting to know each other. It was exciting and quick, and even the "performance" was held much higher than the ground, which was quite impressive.
Yan Qing, who had not dared to go up, looked like a helpless little spectator.
At this moment, the little audience finally realized something, as if he had accidentally met an extraordinary person.
"Teachers, why don't you come down and talk first?" He actually still had a mission to complete and the Star Core Hunters he still needed to chase. He couldn't continue to indulge in watching these seniors of extraordinary status chatting and reminiscing about the past.
Jingliu: "By the way, the competition with this little brother is not over yet."
Cheng An: "You are his great master, right? Master, you still call him little brother, there is a generation gap between you."
Thinking of how he called her "big sister" and said he would send her to prison, Yan Qing said, "Yan Qing, I didn't mean it..."
Well, I can’t do that to my child.
"Alright, alright," Cheng An jumped down first, followed by the other two. "Although calling her sister is not in the right generation, doesn't it make my master look younger? I'm sure she won't mind, right, Master?"
Cheng An patted the child's shoulder with one hand and turned to ask Jing Liu.
"It seems that you have learned a lot of Jingyuan's talking skills." The cold master did not deny it, but just lamented that all his disciples had the same style.
"However, since it's a competition, we should have a beginning and an end. Let's continue." Jing Liu turned his head and looked at Yan Qing who had just breathed a sigh of relief.
Yan Qing didn't know what expression to make: Me competing with my master? Really?
But Cheng An obviously wanted to maintain the child's self-confidence. She patted Yan Qing on the back and immediately agreed on his behalf.
Yan Qing’s look was even more strange: This is the master, how could he win?
Cheng An pulled Dan Heng over, pointed his thumb at the taciturn young man, and patted his chest: We're guaranteed to win!
