A small courtyard somewhere on the Xianzhou.
Kenta was leisurely lying in a rocking chair, sipping hot tea. Beside him, Yanqing was repeatedly practicing his sword swings.
Finally, after completing the last movement, he stopped swinging his sword and wiped the sweat from his face.
"This is too difficult."
He said, slightly out of breath.
Hearing this, Kenta showed a relaxed smile.
"Study hard, kid, you'll get stronger."
Kenta unhurriedly took a sip of the tea in his hand.
"Hmm, Yanqing, your tea-making skills are pretty good, you could open a shop."
Yanqing scratched his head shyly upon hearing this.
"Uncle-Master, please don't tease Yanqing. Speaking of which, I'm deeply grateful that you specifically took the time to guide me today."
The young man first responded to Kenta's words, then suddenly seemed to recall something puzzling and asked with confusion.
"But why in my courtyard? Wouldn't the training ground be better?"
A big question mark hung over his small head.
Kenta coughed subtly.
"Uh, because there are too many rookies hidden in my house, so I moved."
Yanqing:
"???"
The young man couldn't understand the connection between these two things, but he didn't continue to ask.
"Uncle-Master Kenta must have a deeper meaning for saying that."
He pondered to himself.
Today was the third day after the big battle with Phantylia. The Astral Express's losses from this Trailblaze journey were somewhat unexpected, so everyone decided to stay here for a while longer after discussion.
However, within these short three days, Kenta had been subjected to, but not limited to:
A letter from an unknown woman, only to find out it was Kafka when he went to check, and he was almost devoured again.
Stelle's Galagame-style pursuit, and she had already started adding computer components to his drinking water, but Kenta discovered it in time.
March 7th's constant clinging, day and night.
Kenta could be said to be physically and mentally exhausted these past few days, but actually, the three above were still manageable. The most life-threatening was Jingliu, who was chasing and intercepting him.
Originally, she should have been escorted to the Xuling, but Jing Yuan, that old fox, pulled some strings, and Jingliu was allowed to temporarily stay on the Luofu. In fact, Kenta had planned to use his identity as a Carefree Wanderer to plead with the Alliance, as he knew he had a lot of influence with the Xianzhou Alliance, even though he hadn't remembered much. But with Jing Yuan's interference, it was no longer his turn to act.
However, remembering that terrifying woman, Jingliu, Kenta couldn't help but shiver.
"What does she mean by wanting to collect all the 'public grain' that hasn't been paid for nearly a thousand years in one go? Is that woman crazy?"
That's why Kenta thought of coming to Yanqing's place to temporarily hide, and also to give him some pointers.
"Heh, it's nothing."
Kenta waved his hand indifferently. In this rare moment of leisure, he found Yanqing more and more pleasing to the eye, so teaching him a move or two was fine.
"Uncle-Master Kenta! I want to learn that! That..."
Yanqing's tone suddenly paused. He seemed to be recalling something with a bit of distress. Suddenly, he clapped his hands.
"Oh! Right! That 'Heavenly Fire Unsheathed'!"
"Pfft!"
Kenta couldn't hold it in and spat out all the tea in his mouth.
At the time, he just thought it sounded cool to shout that, and he subconsciously blurted it out. But afterwards, Welt Yang's subtle gaze made Kenta realize that if he didn't want to be 'watched' by a certain centenarian on the Astral Express, he'd better avoid mentioning such sensitive terms in the future.
He pulled out a handkerchief to wipe the tea from his mouth, patted the young man's shoulder, and spoke earnestly.
"Listen, Yanqing, what I use is the 'Joy of Fire,' and you are the 'Frostmourne.' You can't learn it."
Hearing this, Yanqing nodded, somewhat disappointed, but he quickly rekindled his fighting spirit.
"Alright! But Uncle-Master Kenta, don't worry, Grandmaster Jingliu also uses ice, and I've already asked her for guidance. She said she's coming to teach me today."
Kenta nodded with some relief.
"Hmm, that's good... Wait, who did you say?"
Seeing Kenta's reaction, Yanqing immediately spoke with confusion.
"Grandmaster Jingliu."
Kenta:
"..."
He abruptly shot up from the recliner, completely abandoning his previous leisurely demeanor.
"Yanqing, did your Grandmaster Jingliu say when she's coming..."
However, before he could finish his sentence, a very clear sound of footsteps came from outside the courtyard gate.
"..."
"No way!!!"
Kenta immediately rushed towards the back door of the courtyard, twisted the doorknob, but it wouldn't open.
"Why did I lock the back door from the inside when I'm home?!"
He screamed inwardly, but at this moment, he clearly had no time to worry about that.
"Yanqing! Quick, quick, quick, give me the key!"
He anxiously whispered to Yanqing.
"Huh? Oh, okay."
Although Yanqing was still confused by Kenta's words, he still pulled out a large bunch of keys from his person and threw them to him.
"Knock, knock."
A knock on the door sounded at this opportune moment.
"Coming!"
The young man replied and then walked towards the main gate.
"!!!"
Kenta used the fastest speed of his life to rummage through the large bunch of keys. The tense emotions and the fear of Jingliu's words made him completely forget that he could actually just teleport away with a Black Flame Teleportation.
He was now rapidly comparing the keys in his hand one by one.
"Faster, a little faster! Faster, faster, a little faster! Jingliu is coming, Jingliu is coming! Hurry, hurry, hurry, hurry! No! What kind of key is this anyway? It doesn't even tell me the style, how am I supposed to find it!"
Finally, with a crisp "click," Kenta inserted the correct key into the keyhole. But faster than his action were the footsteps that had already entered the courtyard.
"Thump-thump."
Kenta froze in place. He dared not turn his head at this moment, his mind racing for a way to survive.
However, an unexpected voice sounded from behind him.
"Hmph! Kenta, why are you standing there stunned? Are you really that unwilling to see me?"
Kenta was stunned.
Kenta turned around.
Kenta was overjoyed.
"It's you, Fu Xuan! The way you say that, I've never been happier to see you than now!"
He excitedly stepped forward, grabbed Fu Xuan's hands, and said from the bottom of his heart.
The two of them had only met after the war ended. At that time, Kenta had to cooperate with the Luofu to complete various investigations and evidence collection. Coupled with Jing Yuan's poor health, he had frequent contact with this acting general.
However, what Kenta found strange was that the Grand Diviner's attitude was a bit odd the first time she met him.
During their two days of interaction, she often muttered inexplicable phrases like "prove the deduction result is wrong," and then dragged him along to do some strange things.
For example—they would maintain silent eye contact for a minute, or he would inexplicably have to work overtime with her alone. She even asked him for his opinion on women who are about 1.4 meters tall, have pink hair, and are very busy with work.
Although Kenta didn't understand what she was doing, Fu Xuan was very cute, so Kenta was happy to spend time with her.
He thought Fu Xuan was quite fun—and by "fun," he meant someone he could tease.
