"I won't go. I plan to go and collect my payment first."
Jiang Lin then spoke up.
"Oh? Okay then, let's split up now."
I felt a little disappointed on March 7th, but it was only for a moment.
"Well... since all the teachers are willing to help, then Yanqing will not refuse any longer. Let's go to the Construction Department and meet them."
After Yanqing finished speaking, he walked ahead and began to lead the way.
Just as Yanqing was leaving with the others, two people walked towards them.
One of them was a pink fox, and the other was a man in a purple hood.
After exchanging a glance, the two said nothing and headed straight for the Sichen Palace.
Jiang Lin changed course halfway and headed towards Taibusi.
After being guided by Yanqing, Walter also changed course halfway and went to the inn to deal with the accommodation problem.
But on the way, Jiang Lin suddenly remembered a question—where did Optimus Prime go?
Looking around but finding nothing, Jiang Lin didn't care anymore. After all, he wasn't like Xing, the kind of person who would cause trouble.
Chapter 143 Goodbye Scott
As soon as Jiang Lin arrived, he saw Qing Que sitting on the steps in front of the gate.
"Oh, what a miserable life. I should have consulted a fortune teller beforehand."
Qingque looked utterly hopeless, and was breaking off leaves in her hands to pass the time.
Finally, after Qingque had taken out the jade tablet and checked the time for what seemed like the umpteenth time, she silently made up her mind.
I'll sneak in a game; I shouldn't get caught, right?
Just then, a voice interrupted her thoughts.
"what are you waiting for?"
Qingque was startled and immediately stood up straight, but... she didn't see the person's face...
Jiang Lin looked at the short man in front of him with some helplessness and spoke up to remind him.
"Huh? Oh oh."
After looking up at Jiang Lin, Qing Que was stunned.
"You... no, you must be Mr. Jiang Lin?"
"Well, it's me."
Jiang Lin nodded, then continued to ask:
"you have not answer my question yet."
"Oh, this? It was the Grand Diviner who sent me to keep you occupied... um, to entertain you."
Qingque scratched his head, and said somewhat awkwardly.
Where is Fu Xuan?
Jiang Lin asked calmly.
"Ahahaha, well, the Grand Diviner, she...she...right, she went to investigate the local conditions in Luofu. Shall I take you to find her?"
Qingque hurriedly explained. At this moment, Jiang Lin had also realized something and shook his head helplessly.
"Never mind, if we're not ready yet, it's okay to wait a little while."
......
Yanqing and the three members of the train crew, who had just arrived, heard a special commissioner's distinctive voice.
"Do you people from the Immortal Ship have any sense of reason?"
Hehe, I get it now~ In your words, this is called taking advantage of someone's misfortune, right?
The group quickly looked ahead and saw Xi Kui arguing with the employees of the company across the street.
"I'm trying to reason with you right now!"
"That voice sounds familiar..."
Xing thought to herself, especially noticing the sarcastic tone in his voice.
Then, the voice rang out again:
"It's not like I haven't dealt with your Tianbo Company before. I'm used to your difficult and demanding ways of doing things."
But now, you're openly robbing the company's goods. Isn't that going a bit too far?
Sora, standing next to Yuuki, spoke with a mixture of helplessness and anger:
"We've said it so many times. As long as the security check is completed, we'll let you through. Are you deaf or just not thinking straight?"
"I heard it very clearly, and I understand it very well! My words are even more blunt: It's hopeless!"
If you continue to withhold my goods, I will file a lawsuit directly with your general!
By this time, everyone had already approached the location.
After Xing clearly saw the person's face, he said to San Yueqi and Dan Heng beside him with a disdainful look:
"Why do I hear a dog barking? Did you hear it?"
After saying that, Xing looked smugly at the company's specialist, Scott.
Scott instantly became furious and turned to look at the group.
"You bastard! Who are you calling a dog?"
After seeing who was speaking, Scott instantly made a face that looked like he had eaten shit.
"What...it's you again?! What are you doing back on the Immortal Ship if you have nothing better to do? It's like misfortunes never come singly; running into you never ends well..."
Xi Kui and Kong Qing also looked at the group and said with some surprise:
"You are... distinguished guests of the Starry Sky Train? What brings you to the Construction Department with Yanqing?"
"I heard you were having some trouble, so I came to check on you."
Xing put away that expression and explained to Xi Kui briefly.
Scott immediately became unhappy.
"They're in trouble? Humph, it's me! I'm in trouble!"
"Um, it seems this...company specialist is an old acquaintance of yours, teacher? I wonder if this is a good thing or a bad thing."
Yanqing hesitated as she watched Scott and Xing's "friendly" interaction.
Xing gave Yanqing a reassuring look, then Yanqing looked at Xi Kui and began to explain:
"Sister Xi Kui, I was sent to deal with the company's protest. What's going on?"
Xi Kui sighed wearily, but then summarized the whole story in the most concise language.
"So you're Scott! I've heard Ah Xing mention you before. Weren't you kicked out of Luofu? Why are you back?"
After listening, March 7th asked with a curious expression.
But March 7's curious tone and silly expression instantly dealt Scott a blow.
"I...I didn't want to come back. I originally thought I could just come in for some maintenance and then leave this awful place."
Who knew that as soon as they entered the port, several mounted riders rushed up and looted all the goods in the warehouse.
"This isn't robbery. I've said it countless times, this is a security check."
Upon hearing Scott's words, Yuuki immediately became displeased.
Xing noticed the contradiction and asked:
"Didn't you say before that the celestial vessel Luofu was coming?"
Scott's arrogant and domineering demeanor instantly froze, and he stammered:
"You should at least make a verbal commitment to your superiors..."
But then, he instantly realized:
"Wait a minute? Why should I explain so much to you?"
Ignoring Hoshino, Scott looked at Yuuki again and said:
"You think it's not true just because you say so? Then why did you come here? And you even hired a shifty-eyed craftsman. What are you trying to do if not steal the company's technology?"
Kong Qing, standing next to Xi Kui, froze instantly.
"Where...am I looking like a weasel?!"
"I'm just wondering, this cargo isn't even destined for Luofu, why are you all meddling in my business..."
Scott ignored Kong Qing's question and steered the conversation back to the goods.
So the three of them started arguing again.
On March 7th, somewhat bewildered, he scratched his head and looked at Xing and Danheng, asking:
"How do we solve this? We don't know either!"
Dan Heng sighed, shook his head helplessly, and said calmly:
"March, just stay out of the way and don't cause any trouble."
Xing seemed to remember something and picked up her phone to send a message to Jiang Lin.
"Taking a fatal blow to the face: Where are you now?"
......
"I won! Hahaha, give me the money!"
Qingque excitedly reached out to the two card-playing friends she had temporarily brought along, and... to Jiang Lin across the table, asking for money.
