Chapter 108: The High-Cloud Quintet — Jingliu
"No need to thank me, we are all Cloud Knights, and we will be comrades fighting side by side in the future. It's only right to help each other." Seeing Yanqing express his gratitude to her, Sushang hurriedly waved her hands and said with a smile on her face.
Then, the scene shifted. Jing Yuan was walking toward Yanqing's training ground with a smile. After arriving at the training ground, he pushed open the door and called out, "How is it, Yanqing, today's training?"
But just as Jing Yuan was about to continue asking, a massive figure suddenly blocked the sunlight. At this moment, Jing Yuan looked up at this figure.
It was none other than his beloved disciple—Yanqing.
"General, look! I am one step closer to becoming the Sword Champion." Yanqing said to Jing Yuan with an excited face.
Looking at Yanqing in his muscular, burly form, Jing Yuan was completely shocked and didn't know what to say. In the end, he could only close his eyes helplessly, accept reality, and take him out to continue shopping.
And Yanqing followed behind Jing Yuan, carrying the massive Wolf's Gravestone on his shoulder, and the same coffin as Luocha's on his back.
"The video ends here!"
…
[ Genshin Impact - Clorinde: So in the end, this little brother Yanqing still turned into that muscular, burly form. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Diluc: Wolf's Gravestone. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Jing Yuan: Yanqing, I'm telling you, do not turn into that appearance from the inventory live stream room, otherwise, I won't let you become the Sword Champion. ]
At this moment, Jing Yuan in the General's Residence looked at Yanqing, who had an eager expression on his face beside him, and immediately threatened him.
"I… I understand, General!" Seeing Jing Yuan's serious expression, Yanqing also knew he shouldn't continue to be mischievous, so he could only agree helplessly.
"Sigh, it's good that you know!" Seeing Yanqing agree, Jing Yuan finally relaxed, sat back down, and began to drink his tea.
Hmph, the General won't let me train in the open, but does that mean I can't train secretly? Looking at Jing Yuan drinking tea in his seat, Yanqing thought silently.
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Fu Hua: Next should be the Q&A time. ]
"That's right, next will be the Q&A time for each video, and this time the question will be highly profound."
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Elysia: Hehe, how high is it? ]
"Probably about three or four stories high."
"Alright, alright, enough of the nonsense. Now please listen to the question: When Jing Yuan's master—Jingliu, and Jing Yuan's disciple—Yanqing, met for the first time, Jingliu called Yanqing 'little brother,' and Yanqing called Jingliu 'big sister.' So, what should Jing Yuan call his disciple at this time?"
"Since this question is highly challenging, there is no correct answer. As long as it makes sense, it will do."
"I will evaluate based on your answers!"
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Jingliu: It's just a form of address, why care so much. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Jing Yuan: Master, you don't care, but I do. I don't know how to address the two of you anymore. ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: General Jing Yuan is right. After all, if the master-disciple generation hierarchy gets messed up, it really will be a big deal. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Yaoyao: So how do we solve this question? This kind of generational hierarchy seems very difficult. ]
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Xuan Yong: Hehe, just address each other separately. Jing Yuan calls Yanqing 'Martial Uncle,' and Yanqing calls Jing Yuan 'Master.' Wouldn't that be fine? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kiana: Oh, is that so? Teacher Himeko, in the future, I'll call you 'Aunt Himeko,' and you call me 'Sister Kiana.' ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Murata Himeko: Kiana, is your skin itching for a beating? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Siegfried: My dear daughter, don't be like this. With this kind of death-seeking behavior, even as your dad, I can't protect you. ]
"Alright, alright, answer the question quickly so we can start the inventory of the next person!"
[ Genshin Impact - Venti: Oh right, there's still a question to answer. ]
[ Genshin Impact - Nahida: Actually, it's nothing much, right? Jingliu… uh, sister and little brother Yanqing's forms of address are just their affectionate nicknames for each other and don't have much to do with anything. Any form of address wouldn't be a problem, right? ]
[ Honkai Impact 3rd - Kallen (Resurrected): I agree with what Nahida said. After all, in a sense, they are also in a grandmaster and granddisciple relationship, so addressing each other this way isn't a problem. ]
Others also expressed their agreement, as they didn't know how to answer this question either.
"So, is this the answer for all of you?"
[ Genshin Impact - Nahida: Yes, we are sure! ]
"According to my evaluation, this answer can reach S-grade. The reward is now being issued."
"Congratulations to Genshin Impact - Nahida for obtaining one Memory Recovery Card!"
"Note: When you lose a certain memory, this card will automatically be used to help you recall this memory."
[ Genshin Impact - Nahida: Lost memory? But I govern the Irminsul, why would I lose my memory? ]
Although Nahida was very puzzled, the inventory live stream room did not provide an explanation, and she did not dare to ask too much. After all, judging by the current methods of the inventory live stream room, wiping her out would be extremely simple.
…
"Alright, next we will review the next member of the High-Cloud Quintet. She is Jing Yuan's master—Jingliu!"
"Jingliu was born on the Xianzhou Cangcheng. Founder amd Former member of the High-Cloud Quintet, Sword Champion of the Xianzhou Luofu, and the creator of the Cloud Knights' undefeated reputation."
"Now, her name has been erased, and she has become a traitor of the Xianzhou walking on the brink of Mara, eagerly pursuing her old wishes."
"The Abundance Abominations that fell under her sword are countless. The Wingkin's feather-guards, the Borisin's Father Wolf, and even weapon-beasts as high as mountains could not withstand a single strike from her. But in the end, due to her mind being driven mad by Mara, she went on a killing spree and became a major fugitive fleeing beyond the borders."
"From the Xianzhou Cangcheng. One of the legendary High-Cloud Quintet, bestowed with the title of 'Transcendent Flash.' Transcending the victories and defeats of the mortal realm, to obtain the power to slay gods, she chose to walk a completely different path."
"Since then, there has been one less Luofu Sword Champion in the Xianzhou records, and one more traitor whose name has been erased. As the mentor who once taught Jing Yuan, there are always some deeply secretive stories about her."
"Due to the influence of Mara, Jingliu sometimes falls into madness, cutting off her senses, viewing herself as a sword that can break through everything. Jingliu has long surpassed her limits, wandering on the boundary of Mara. Rather than looking at old objects and remembering the past, with hatred burning her body, it is better to cover her eyes with black silk and walk freely."
…
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Phantylia: Hahaha, maybe it's because you, woman, have caused too much slaughter in your life that you fell into Mara! ]
Since the inventory live stream room exposed Phantylia's actions, everything of hers had failed. At this moment, seeing Jingliu fall into Mara, she naturally would not give up the opportunity to mock the Xianzhou Luofu.
[ Honkai: Star Rail - Jing Yuan: Do you want to taste whether my sword is sharp? ]
…
