A refreshing sensation spread from Bochang's mind throughout his entire body.
He felt as though undergoing a profound transformation.
Xueyi did not linger further, exchanging a few more casual words before the Judge from the Ten-Lords Commission departed.
Outside Bailu's room, Sushang suddenly erged and tapped Bochang on the shoulder. "Oh ho, never realized your relationship with the Ten-Lords Commission folks... is quite close?"
"No, Xueyi just ca to deliver so clothes," Bochang shrugged.
The matter concerning Luocha was yet unspoken between them. If Sushang learned that the person she had been helping all along had smuggled a Stellaron onto Xianzhou Luofu, it would undoubtedly break her heart.
"Hmm... I'm quite curious too, why were your clothes with the Judge of Juggernauts? And if you were looking for Bailu, why did you give Xiao Yu to ... Wasn't that unnecessary?" Sushang's curiosity bubbled like a child's.
"Ending up at the Alchemy Commission was purely coincidental, and..." Bochang paused, uncertain whether he should reveal the truth about Luocha. After so thought, he decided it would be better to inform Sushang. The warrant for Luocha's arrest would likely be issued soon anyway. Even if Sushang couldn't read, she could still recognize him from the image.
To prevent Luocha's smooth talk from leading Sushang astray, Bochang felt it prudent to prepare her beforehand. He reached out and said, "Here's the thing, Sushang, do you rember that outlander nad Luocha?"
"Luocha... I rember him; it was even I who rescued him from Cloudford..." Sushang placed her hands on her hips. "How... does this incident involve him?"
"It does indeed, and quite significantly so," Bochang sighed.
This response piqued Sushang's curiosity.
"What exactly happened? Don't keep in suspense—you're making itch with anticipation."
"Luocha... is the one who brought the Stellaron onto Xianzhou Luofu," Bochang stated bluntly.
These words...
left Sushang utterly bewildered, confusion filling her brown eyes.
"Huh? Are you joking with ?" She scratched her head, her long ponytails swaying gently beside her ears. With her soft, lustrous hair framing her pure and uncorrupted deanor, there was an inexplicable urge to tease her just a bit.
Of course...
Bochang had no intention of teasing Sushang. It rely crossed his mind for a fleeting mont.
"I'm not joking at all." Bochang shook his head. "I fought Luocha at the Exalting Sanctum, and by this afternoon, you should see his wanted poster lining the streets."
"This...could there be so misunderstanding?" Sushang still found it hard to believe Bochang's words.
During their ti together, she had always considered Luocha as quite intriguing and unlikely to engage in malicious acts.
"You'll know the truth once you see the arrest warrant, so...when you encounter Luocha again, don't fall for his lies. It could lead to serious trouble." Bochang stroked his chin thoughtfully.
Sushang appeared naive and easily deceived, making it difficult not to worry about her.
"If what you say is true...I will apprehend Luocha." Sushang clenched her fist determinedly.
Bochang shook his head repeatedly. "No...the next ti you see Luocha, I strongly advise keeping your distance. Sushang, if I hadn't run fast this ti, he might have gotten the better of ."
"In Luocha's coffin...there resides a terrifying creature."
Recalling their earlier confrontation, Luocha had claid it was a grand gift intended for Yaoshi. However...
From Bochang's perspective, that entity fell far short when compared to Yaoshi.
It seed that the creature within the coffin was still growing.
"Ah? Really? In his coffin... there's another monster?" Sushang felt her mind struggling to comprehend this information. What is going on here...
After vividly describing the horror of the creature inside the coffin, Bochang finally let Sushang off.
At that mont...
Bochang's phone rang. Picking it up, he saw three ssages from the conductor:
Pom-Pom: Are you there? Pom-Pom: Hello? Pom-Pom: Are you available?
Bochang replied: What's wrong?
Pom-Pom: Sothing strange is happening on the train; feels like there's an invisible presence... Pom-Pom: Please co back when you can! Aaaah!!
«Hiss...» Bochang sucked in a sharp breath. "What's going on? The conductor getting spooked?"
Thinking for a mont, Bochang responded: I'll rest a bit longer and return soon.
Pom-Pom: Alright Pom, try to be quick. We absolutely cannot depart until this issue is resolved, Pom!
Everyone says... Pom-Pom effortlessly keeps track of everyone's movents on the train. How could sothing infiltrate the Astral Express unnoticed? This situation seems peculiar. First, I should contact Stelle and March, Bochang pondered.
He wondered where those two might have gone off to.
Sushang tilted her head slightly and asked, "What are you looking at?"
"The conductor has called back to the train. Our journey on Xianzhou Luofu is temporarily over, and I should be heading off now." Bochang put away his phone.
Sushang said, "Oh... Whenever you visit the Xianzhou again, rember to look for , okay? We can enjoy tea together and listen to storytelling."
Bochang nodded.
Having completed his task of escorting Xiao Yu to the Alchemy Commission, Bochang's next goal was to investigate the situation with Luocha.
Thus...
Sushang hastily departed from the Alchemy Commission.
Bochang stayed behind to spend so ti with Bailu before leaving.
During this period, he also contacted March 7th and Stelle via his phone; they had received ssages from the conductor as well.
It seed Pom-Pom was genuinely urgent about sothing.
Bochang arranged a eting with March 7th and Stelle accordingly.
Before long, the group of five gathered at Central Starskiff Haven.
March 7th, Stelle, Serval, and Qingque were all present—these four girls had often been seen together during their previous endeavors.
Upon reuniting, March 7th imdiately asked, "Bochang, I heard you got into a fight with Luocha?"
"That's correct, but how did you know?" Bochang hadn't yet shared this incident with anyone on the Astral Express.
Qingque pointed to her own face. "Master Diviner just sent a ssage about it."
"Oh... so that's how," Bochang realized.
As a mber of the Divination Commission and currently serving as the special envoy from Xianzhou to the Astral Express—a role akin to a diplomat—it made sense that she would be inford promptly of any developnts involving Bochang on Xianzhou Luofu.
It was only natural for Fu Xuan to inform Qingque first about what Bochang had been up to on Xianzhou Luofu.
"Hey...do you have so innate talent for causing trouble?" March 7th couldn't help but tease lightly. "How do you manage to get into fights everywhere you go?"
"It's not my fault," Bochang defended himself. "Heavens know how I inadvertently stumbled upon Luocha's plot! That guy hid his true intentions too deeply; if it weren't for Sophia's animal friend discovering it, I'd still be completely clueless..."
