Tree King: What? I've become the Abundant Pharmacist?

Chapter 214 Clues to Provocation

"Who would have thought that the 'Return to Singapore' would one day come to a standstill; 'The Milky Way turns at night, drifting back to the stars; the silver river flows with clouds, mimicking the sound of water'... This is how a poet described the grand occasion of the return to Singapore back then."

Looking at the deserted Huixing Port, Tingyun couldn't help but sigh.

"The Milky Way turns and drifts back to its stars at night, the silvery river flows and the clouds mimic the sound of water..." March 7th repeated. "What a beautiful poem!"

"Hmm, analysis complete. It couldn't have been made on March 7th," Xing analyzed from the side.

“You don’t need to tell me that…” March 7th pouted.

“Miss Tingyun, from what you’re saying, it seems that Starport is also involved in trade with Luofu this time?” Walter Yang asked.

“Yes, all navigation within and outside Luofu relies on the Starship. If the production line back to Starport is cut off, the routes for navigation within and outside the Immortal Ship will probably have to be suspended for a while,” Tingyun sighed.

"But this is good too, it saves me the trouble of accompanying the delegation on diplomatic missions."

"Miss Tingyun, you don't seem worried about the Immortal Ship at all?"

For some reason, March 7th always seemed to be in a leisurely mood. Even though things were already very tense inside Luofu, and even the Cloud Cavalry had started patrolling the streets, she still seemed nonchalant.

"Not at all. In business, one should not show one's emotions. Besides, the alliance has weathered many storms, so today's chaos is nothing." Tingyun opened his fan and fanned himself lightly a few times.

“That makes sense, your role seems to have originally been support.” Xing thought for a moment.

"Haha, my benefactor is too kind. During the battle, I will be there to cheer you on." Tingyun smiled, clearly not taking Xing's words to heart.

Walter Young sighed, "It's alright, we won't force you, Miss Tingyun."

"If we encounter Kafka, leave the pursuit and battle to us. We'll trouble you to lead the way for us."

"This benefactor speaks so well; he must be very skilled at negotiation, right?" Tingyun smiled slightly.

“Um… he is indeed very skilled in negotiation,” March 7th muttered quietly.

“No, the talks broke down,” Eve added.

“Ahem…” Walter Young coughed awkwardly.

"Alright, my benefactors, let's hurry up and investigate." Tingyun clapped his hands.

“If what the invitation says is true, then Kafka will have left some trace here. Let’s spread out and search. Don’t overlook anything that looks suspicious.”

“That makes sense,” Walter Young nodded.

“Judging from that woman’s style, it really is true.” March 7th nodded with certainty.

The group immediately began searching around.

A short while later, a sound came from Xing's side first.

She pulled a large knife out of the trash can.

"This is part of the Cloud Cavalry's weapon, but it seems to have been cut off by something sharp..." Little Eve rushed over, took a look, and came to a conclusion.

“It’s been cut off…it’s definitely that wicked woman, right? She has a sharp and long knife!” March 7th said with certainty.

"Could it be that Kafka is really returning to Starport..." Tingyun began to have some doubts.

Could it be that Lord Yu Kong's deduction is wrong?

“We can’t be sure, what if this is also a smokescreen?” Walter Young said.

"That's true, let's look again!"

March 7th nodded, but before she could rush into the alley, Tingyun suddenly said, "My benefactors, come and see what this is!"

"Grenade!!"

Upon seeing what was in front of Tingyun, March 7th subconsciously took two steps back.

"Back off!" Walter Young immediately became cautious.

"Eve, wait!" March 7th reached out, trying to pull back little Eve who was walking forward.

But it was too late; Eve had already reached the grenade.

Under the tense gazes of everyone, little Eve picked up the grenade.

Then, she pulled off the grenade's cap.

The explosion that everyone was tense about didn't happen; instead, a used lipstick was revealed.

"Don't worry, it's just a lipstick shaped like a grenade." Little Eve examined it carefully.

"Phew, that startled me." March 7th breathed a sigh of relief.

There was also a note inside.

Little Eve took the piece of paper out of the lid.

"Let me see, let me see!" March 7th immediately became interested, stepped forward, took the note, and read its contents aloud.

"It says on it, 'A small gift for lost people...'"

"Ah? Damn it, this woman is clearly provoking us!" March 7th immediately became furious.

Walter Young pondered, "Was all of this left behind by Kafka? Or is it just a deliberate attempt to create a diversion?"

"Uncle Yang, there's no need to think about it anymore! Kafka is definitely here."

"I can just picture that woman with that mysterious expression, saying 'Come, grab, me, ya' word by word." March 7 imitated her perfectly.

"My benefactors, it now appears the invitation is indeed genuine. I must report this to Yu Kong immediately..."

Before Tingyun could finish speaking, a bullet grazed his ear and hit the ground.
