Chapter 88: Quick, Quick, Quick, Let's Go to the Divination Commission Right Away to Get Proof!
"Ahem, allow me to introduce myself first—my name is Sushang, and I just recently joined the Cloud Knights. To be honest, I came from 'Yaoqing,' so I'm actually not very familiar with 'Luofu' either, hehe..."
After the misunderstanding was somewhat cleared up, the girl's true nature was instantly exposed. Fortunately, she was still quite forthright and patted her chest, promising: "But don't worry! Since I've encountered this kind of thing, I definitely won't just abandon you and stand by doing nothing!"
"However, where should one go to seek redress... the Civil Affairs Commission or the Divination Commission? No, no, since the two of you are actually outsiders from the 'Corporation,' theoretically, if you encounter difficulties, you should go to the Sky-Faring Commission, right..."
Who on earth designed so many institutions? How can anyone tell them apart!
After making such a bold promise, the girl ended up confusing herself and successfully became bewildered. She stood there muttering for a long time but couldn't figure anything out.
It was only at this moment that Pardo realized this person seemed a bit off. She cautiously leaned close to Kevin's ear and asked: "Boss Kevin, why does she seem a bit... not very smart? They say people from the Xianzhou live long lives—is this the price of longevity?"
As far as she knew, although the Xianzhou Alliance was renowned and mighty, there were still many people trying to board the Xianzhou ships to seek their secrets of longevity... But if the price of longevity was becoming stupid, then Pardo would rather not have it.
"......"
"Don't joke around, Pardo. Our current situation isn't as good as it seems," Kevin replied softly.
"Huh? What? Even though Sister Sushang seems a bit silly, she promised to help us clear things up, right? Having someone speak up for us is better than us just dryly telling the Xianzhou that we actually mean no harm, isn't it?" Pardo clearly didn't understand.
"I'm not talking about us; I'm talking about the current environment on the Xianzhou."
If it were anyone else, Kevin might not have said anything, but at this moment, he patiently explained to Pardo: "You should know that most of the time, the Astral Express deals with Stellarons. And since those Stellaron Hunters are named as such, it means they also target Stellarons."
"From this, it can be seen that there must be a Stellaron on the Xianzhou right now, and the reason they've sealed off the Xianzhou is most likely because of this... Normally, a Stellaron that was difficult to handle on Belobog wouldn't be considered a major problem for the Xianzhou Alliance."
"But the Xianzhou's higher-ups clearly haven't informed everyone about the Stellaron invasion. Even judging from this girl's behavior... it's possible that most of the Xianzhou forces, including the Cloud Knights, are unaware of the news about Stellarons and Stellaron Hunters."
"Generally speaking, there's only one reason leaders choose to seal off news of a disaster—that is, it's likely to spiral out of control and lead to a major catastrophe."
Didn't that Stellaron Hunter also tell him that in their foreseen visions, they even saw the entire Xianzhou shattered... While these words shouldn't be fully believed, they can certainly serve as a reference.
Moreover, this is no longer like Belobog—a civilization on the brink of collapse—but rather a Xianzhou civilization whose true depth even Kevin himself finds difficult to gauge.
Completely different from when he was on Belobog, back then he could choose at any time to stay out of it or step in to help them overcome their difficulties. But now, caught in the vortex of various factions' power struggles within the vast Xianzhou, Kevin simply cannot stay out of it.
In fact, due to his undeniable combat power and threat level, he might even be seen as an obstacle that must be eliminated first.
"Ah? No way?! The Xianzhou Alliance is a force that can stand on equal footing with the entire 'Corporation.' If even they find it troublesome, wouldn't we accidentally get caught up in disaster too?!"
Pardo clearly remembers that each of the generals of the six Xianzhou ships is an existence at the level of an 'Emanator.' They could easily blow up an entire sun with a snap; wouldn't wiping out a small fry like her be just as effortless?
Gulp—
Pardo swallowed her saliva and whispered: "B-Boss Kevin... maybe we should just surrender?"
"......"
How do you surrender? To whom? You yourself know you're not here to cause trouble on the Xianzhou. Could it be that you need to fabricate a crime for yourself?
"Ah, I've got it! Let's just go directly to the Divination Commission!"
It was at this moment that Sushang suddenly clapped her hands and exclaimed loudly: "Those diviners are all so capable. Let's just have them provide some proof of your identity and innocence. Then we can go to the Sky-Faring Commission to clarify things. Wouldn't that make everything much simpler!"
Clearly, she hadn't heard a single word of Kevin and Pardo's whispered conversation just now. But strictly speaking, this solution is actually quite practical.
Could she actually be a genius?
"Whether going directly to the Sky-Faring Commission or the Civil Affairs Commission, we'd inevitably have to go through a whole bunch of procedures—it's a huge hassle. But if we can get our identity proof directly at the Divination Commission, all problems will be solved right away~"
As she spoke, Sushang couldn't help but nod her head on her own, seeming extremely satisfied with the problem-solving solution she had come up with.
As for what Kevin thought... Well, although he skimmed through quite a bit of information about the Xianzhou 'Luofu,' he really doesn't know much about the specific situations of Luofu's Six Commissions.
As for Pardo, she's even less reliable.
So at this moment, the most reliable person they have on the Xianzhou 'Luofu' is actually this Cloud Knight girl who seems rather unreliable?
"Let me think... The realm belonging to the Divination Commission... should be this way? Uh... or is it this way?"
But even after thinking of a solution to the problem, Sushang still stood there dumbfounded, turning left and then right. It turned out she herself didn't know where one of the Six Commissions she mentioned—the Divination Commission—was actually located.
"Boss Kevin, I still think she's really unreliable. What should we do..."
Pardo said she was really scared—afraid that she might accidentally be led into a ditch by someone.
Hearing this, Kevin sighed softly and said: "Let's follow her for now. Even if we encounter other people from 'Luofu,' we'll at least have some explanation."
What else can we do? We'll just have to try everything possible.
"Ah! I remember now! The Divination Commission is this way!"
Sushang hurriedly waved her hand at the two: "Quick, quick, quick! Hurry up and follow me! If we're any later, those diviners might get off work!"
