Collapse Iron Live Broadcast Connects All Worlds, Scares Wuzhan Away at the Beginning Chapter 086

「After a brief introduction, Tingyun once again expressed her gratitude for the trio’s righteous act. However, she was also curious as to why Xing and the others had come to the Star Rail Sea, which was under lockdown.」

「As she spoke, the smile on her face gradually faded, and her tone changed: “If there isn’t a reasonable explanation, these Cloud Knights brothers beside me might have to escort you all for a while.”」

「The situation seemed a bit off, and March 7 immediately became nervous.」

「Fortunately, Uncle Yang was calm enough, and said unhurriedly: “We called for docking at the port, but there was no response at first. Suddenly, someone opened the Jade Gate for us. After entering the Xianzhou, we couldn’t see anyone, so we had to search all the way here.”」

「Although it was unclear who opened the Jade Gate, upon learning that the group belonged to the Astral Express, a touch of melancholy appeared on the girl’s face.」

「“Alas… esteemed guests have come at an unfortunate time. Something has happened on the Xianzhou, and it’s not suitable for hosting guests. Whether you’ve come for sightseeing, medical treatment, or business, I’m afraid you won’t be able to do anything.”」

「“For safety reasons, you should go to the central hub of the Star Rail Sea as soon as possible to take refuge. I’ll take you to see Lady Yukong, who is in charge of the Ten-Lords Commission, and let her decide.”」

“This fox girl… is not simple.”

Inside the Survey Corps’ office, Erwin, having finished his day’s work, had put down the documents in his hand and was watching the sky screen with Levi. Due to orders from superiors, Hange was also present this time, responsible for recording important content from the light screen.

“What? You see a problem with her?” Levi looked at him strangely.

“It’s nothing else… it’s just that this girl is very thoughtful and knows how to talk.” Erwin raised his head, his gaze subconsciously drifting towards the center, “This is a habit that can only be cultivated through years of dealing with big figures, and it’s not easy.”

“In her eyes, the Astral Express is an unknown force, and she can’t figure out their true intentions in a few words. If they really have good intentions, yet she sends Cloud Knights to detain them… not to mention whether it’s lacking in the etiquette of hospitality, at least it gives people a very bad first impression.”

“…So, that’s why she said the following words.”

“The so-called… ‘leading everyone to take refuge’ is actually another way of saying ‘detention’, right?” After Erwin said this, Levi gradually understood his meaning, “It can both allow the Cloud Knights to keep an eye on the three who are skilled, and also allow the Express crew to feel the Xianzhou’s gentle attitude.”

“Being able to consider everything so comprehensively in such a short period of time… without offending anyone, while also using others—it reminds me of some of the high-ranking figures in the Military Police Brigade, tsk.”

Thinking of those guys in the Central Government, a hint of displeasure appeared in Levi’s eyes.

Erwin didn’t speak, but looked at Hange, who had been silent from the beginning of the meeting, writing and drawing in a notebook.

“Hange, what are you recording?”

Hearing this, Levi also shifted his gaze to the androgynous figure beside him wearing glasses. He tilted his chair back slightly, barely able to see the contents of Hange’s notebook.

The pen in that guy’s hand was moving quickly, sketching a simple portrait of Tingyun… especially the tail and ear parts, which were drawn from several different angles.

“Hey, what are you—”

Hange slammed the notebook shut, pointing at the girl in the light screen with the pen, eyes filled with unprecedented fervor and thirst for knowledge.

“Aren’t you curious? Don’t you want to see?”

“Did you see her ears? She’s clearly not much different from humans, but she has two ears on her head!” Hange reached out and pinched her own ears, the light in her eyes almost overflowing: “Is there a human ear in the part covered by her hair… don’t you want to know?!”

“And there’s her tail, it’s very fluffy… does it extend from the tailbone, or from some other part?”

“Ah… I really want to experiment on her, I really want to know…”

“…” Erwin didn’t speak, he seemed to have long been accustomed to Hange’s behavior, and calmly withdrew his gaze.

Levi rubbed his forehead and clicked his tongue in annoyance: “Hey, can you focus on the Titans?”

“What’s the use of researching a woman’s tail from another world? Are you planning to help the Titans grow tails?”

「“I also know a little about the Xianzhou’s accident. Miss Tingyun, we’ve come to help the Xianzhou seal the Stellaron.” Welt keenly perceived Tingyun’s intention and further explained.」

「“Hehe, when you all helped out righteously, this little girl knew that you were all great philanthropists!” Tingyun changed the subject and continued to use “non-stick” rhetoric: “It’s a pity… Tingyun is also powerless! After all, you are outsiders, and without the authorization of Master Yukong, who would dare to act without permission.”」

「“Don’t be afraid, Master Yukong is kind and amiable, come with me!”」

「For now, following Tingyun was the only option. Along the way, the group witnessed Tingyun’s watertight speech and her ability to use people without making a sound. After eliminating a few Mara-Struck soldiers and passing through a narrow trestle bridge, the group finally arrived at the Star Rail Sea’s port.」

「Hearing Welt mention the Stellaron, Tingyun also said that as a “ferry envoy,” she had been to many planets eroded by Stellarons. Speaking of the tragic situation, Tingyun’s beautiful eyes couldn’t help but dim.」

“It seems Tingyun’s identity is more like a national commercial representative, very similar to my identity.” Ningguang smiled slightly, no wonder she felt a strange sense of familiarity when Tingyun spoke.

The Liyue Qixing are responsible for Liyue’s commercial operations, and she, as the “Tianquan Star,” is not only a great merchant in Liyue, but also the leader of many business firms. In Ningguang’s view, Tingyun’s watertight rhetoric was all too familiar.

But there are still differences. Ningguang herself is at the top of Liyue’s hierarchy and the maker of countless commercial policies. When dealing with people, her confidence is undoubtedly greater.

“It would be great if Tingyun could come to Liyue, Liyue Harbor is in need of such talent.” Ningguang sighed regretfully.

The little secretary beside her heard this and immediately felt jealous: “Lady Ningguang, you regret that Miss Tingyun can’t be used by you, right?”

“Hehe, you heard that.”

Ningguang looked at the fox girl in the light screen, at her sly little expression, the smile on her face changed again, and she waved her hand: “Forget it, this girl is clever and a natural merchant, how could she be willing to be used by me?”

“If she came to Liyue, I’m afraid those merchants would be secretly groaning.”
