Su Chang took a deep breath, her eyes innocent and naive: "Wow, that's amazing! You figured that out!"
March 7th asked in a low voice, "Uncle Yang, can a diviner really calculate such detailed information?"
Walter replied in a low voice, "Little March, do you have some misunderstanding about fortune tellers?"
"I did my research before coming. The diviners of the Grand Diviner's Office are usually responsible for predicting sea routes and strategizing for the imperial court..."
"If he were truly as insightful as he appears, would we have just turned the tables on him and tried to extort money from him?"
March 7th was filled with righteous indignation: "Isn't he just deceiving that girl?"
"I can't stand this. Hey, Miss Su Chang, he's lying to you."
"He probably already knew about you; it wasn't something he calculated,"
Su Chang looked bewildered, then replied firmly, "Lie to me? Impossible."
"Do you know who he is?"
March 7th shrugged and said, "The diviners of the Grand Diviner's Office, I already knew that."
Su Chang counted on her fingers as if reciting a familiar story: "You only know that he is a diviner in the Grand Diviner's Office."
"But little did they know that he had recently defeated Yan Qing, a valiant Cloud Cavalry Guard of the Shence Prefecture, who was hailed as a genius with a sword-like martial spirit!"
"He is also the youngest valiant guard in the history of the Cloud Cavalry."
"And also, the secret teachings of the Medicine King, a criminal organization that has been ravaging the Immortal Boat Luofu for a long time."
"He risked his life to infiltrate and gather evidence to destroy it."
"Why would someone so capable bother to deceive me? What benefit would it bring him?"
March 7th was rendered speechless by Su Chang's words, her pretty face filled with astonishment:
"Uncle Yang, I didn't expect this guy to be so powerful?"
"So he was just playing with us?"
Su Jinyan sighed: "I originally wanted to interact with you as an ordinary person, but all I got in return was estrangement."
"I'm not pretending anymore. I'm coming clean. I am Su Jinyan, the chief disciple of the Grand Diviner and a highly regarded general of the Divine Strategy Bureau."
Walter said in a deep voice, "I didn't expect you to have such a hidden identity, sir. I am truly sorry for my disrespect."
"Then you must have anticipated that we would appear at the port and were waiting for us there beforehand, right?"
Su Jinyan shook his head slightly: "I was ordered by my master to welcome the distinguished guests of the Starry Sky Train."
"Unexpectedly, I witnessed the wickedness of human nature..."
Walter was a little embarrassed, and on March 7th, he even took the initiative to shift the blame.
"Hey, hey, hey, every wrong has its perpetrator, and every debt has its debtor. We've been speaking up for you all along."
"If you want to blame someone, blame Xing and Uncle Yang. They're the ones who did all the bad things."
star:"?"
Walter: "?"
Su Jinyan laughed and said, "I was just joking. It's understandable that our distinguished guests are a little unfamiliar and nervous when they first arrive in Luofu."
"After thinking it over, this method is the best way to eliminate tension."
March 7th pouted: "Hmph, I'm not nervous anymore."
"But my heart almost jumped out of my chest from being scared by you."
Su Jinyan asked, "Speaking of which, Su Chang, are you on patrol at Liuyun Ferry?"
Su Chang nodded and said, "Yes, after the star core erupted, many places in Luofu were affected."
"There's a shortage of manpower at Liuyun Ferry, so I volunteered to come and maintain order there."
"These people around you look unfamiliar. Are they barbarians?"
Walter said in a deep voice, "Miss Su Chang, we are the pioneers of the Star Train."
"The reason I came to Luofu is to help Luofu resolve the crisis of the star core eruption."
Su Chang asked in confusion, "Star Train? I've never heard of it."
"But wasn't the Jade Realm Gate closed? How did you get in?"
Walter replied, “We called for port access, but there was no response at first. Suddenly someone opened the Jade Gate for us.”
"Since you already knew we were coming, you must have opened the door for us, right?"
Su Chang asked in confusion, "But I remember that only the people of the Heavenly Ship Bureau have the authority to open the Jade Realm Gate."
Su Jinyan chuckled to himself. Su Chang didn't seem very educated, but she had a thorough understanding of the duties of the Six Departments and was quite conscientious about them.
"Su Chang seems to know quite a bit about the functions of the Six Departments. I didn't open the Jade Gate."
"It was the Sky Piercer of the Sky Piercer Bureau who opened the Jade Gate for the Star Train."
"Look, I still have to take them to see Lord Yu Kong."
As he spoke, Su Jinyan introduced the three members of the Starry Sky Train to Su Chang.
Su Chang drawled out her words, seemingly understanding but not quite: "Oh, I see—"
As the saying goes: "Help others in their time of need and be responsive to their requests; do one good deed every day and examine yourself three times a day."
"If you need any help, just tell me. I won't hesitate to ask!"
A look of doubt crossed March 7's beautiful eyes: "Uh, you're not just being polite to us? You've got it backwards, haven't you?"
"We should just tell you if we need any help, and we don't need to be polite with you."
Su Chang scratched her head: "Is that so? You're clearly outsiders, yet you know more than I, a local from the Immortal Ship."
Xing whispered, "March, don't you think Su Chang is easy to fool?"
March 7th's pretty face turned serious: "Hmm, I can tell, she does seem very easy to fool."
Xing rubbed his hands together sheepishly: "Miss Su Chang, I'm a little short on cash lately, could you lend me some credits?"
March 7: "Hey! Please stop your scamming!"
Su Chang hurriedly waved her hands: "Oh, I'm so sorry, I'm so sorry. Aside from lending money, I don't have much money left!"
Su Jinyan said seriously, "Su Chang, actually I have 'sudden death syndrome if I don't kiss'."
"I need to kiss someone at least once a day to relieve this symptom, otherwise I will die."
"Since we're friends, could you please help me out?"
March 7th: "Can you two please stop deceiving that young girl?!"
Su Chang blushed and twisted her delicate white fingers: "This...isn't this a bit inappropriate?"
"I have never kissed a man before."
March 7th urgently advised, "That's why Su Chang, you absolutely mustn't agree to him!"
Su Jinyan looked at her innocently: "But isn't Su Chang always willing to grant requests?"
"You wouldn't want to see a future genius like me from Luofu die like this, would you?"
Su Chang gritted her teeth, as if she had made up her mind: "It's decided, this young lady will see this good deed through to the end!"
"But you absolutely mustn't tell anyone, or I'll be so embarrassed!"
March 7th blocked Su Jinyan's path, glaring at him angrily: "Hey, Su Jinyan."
"You don't want us to get this out, do you?"
"Then everyone will see your true colors and know that you intentionally deceived an innocent girl's first kiss."
Su Jinyan raised her hands in surrender: "I was just kidding, don't take it so seriously."
Su Chang asked, still uneasy, "Are you really joking?"
Su Jinyan sincerely apologized: "I'm sorry, Su Chang, I lied to you."
"If I ever get a disease that makes me die if I don't kiss, I'll come to you for help right away."
Su Chang said earnestly, "Okay, come find me again if you ever actually get this disease."
March 7th frowned, looking at Su Jinyan with unfriendly eyes: "Hmph, you can know a person's face but not their heart."
"I shouldn't have helped you up just now, Uncle Yang, Xing, let's go!"
Su Jinyan smiled apologetically: "I still have to entertain my distinguished guests, let's talk later."
After exchanging contact information with Su Chang, Su Jinyan hurriedly chased after her.
Watching Su Jinyan's departing figure, Su Chang bit her thumb and fell into deep thought.
......
Walter pushed up his glasses: "Little March, have you forgotten why we came to Luofu?"
