After the three of them had their fill and Cheng An finally stopped eating, Jing Yuan asked the first question of the night.

"Cheng An, why did you disappear for so long? There was no news for three hundred years."

"Because the Pure Beauty Organization had a mission that required my participation, and it was so urgent, they forcibly teleported me to another planet." Cheng An sipped the Fairy Happy Tea in his hand and spoke half-truths without changing his expression.

"As a result, that place was completely deserted. I worked so hard every day trying to figure out how to get those people to stand up, but in the end, I looked back and realized that they had also tricked me into it."

“It was my last effort to prevent that group of people from being exterminated.”

As she spoke, her tone was three parts tiredness, three parts sighing, and four parts anger at the lack of fighting spirit.

Cheng An rested her chin on the table with one hand, and the milk tea cup in her other hand seemed to have turned into a wine glass. She picked it up and shook it, then took a big gulp.

Bai Heng: “…” I thought this milk tea wouldn’t be intoxicating, right?

Jing Yuan: "..." Is she acting? Not sure, let's wait and see.

But ignoring the fact that she was drinking milk tea to drown her sorrows, there was a lot hidden behind these few short sentences.

First of all, what kind of mission would take people three hundred years? Moreover, the combination of the key words "calculation" and the ending of "extermination" does not seem like a pleasant experience. Cheng An was so concise, perhaps because he did not want to say more.

But they are not pure knights, and cannot experience or understand the pure mission, let alone the burden they bear.

It was not easy for everyone. Jing Yuan and Bai Heng remained silent and drank milk tea with her.

Cheng An: I always feel that the atmosphere is a bit weird. Why is everyone silent?

But since they seemed to have no problems, it was her turn to ask next.

"By the way, have any major events happened in the three hundred years since I was away?" She looked at the two of them. "Master Jingliu, I know that she resigned from the Cloud Cavalry. Where is she now?"

"Since Master left, she seems to have gone traveling in the universe. She occasionally sends us messages, but she has not lost contact, unlike someone else." Jing Yuan looked back meaningfully.

Cheng An didn't feel embarrassed at all: "Isn't my case a special case?" Even if she contacted you in Tsyganiya, she wouldn't contact the person at this time. How can she complain?

"Ahem, let's not talk about me. By the way, where is Brother Ying Xing? Logically speaking, Brother Ying Xing was only an accomplice in what happened back then, and it seems that he didn't do anything specific. He should be fine, right?" She changed the subject at the speed of light.

After these words were spoken, the two white-haired friends remained silent for a while.

"...He's okay, right?" Her hopeful eyes turned into anxious ones.

This time, it was Bai Heng who spoke first: "Ying Xing was supposed to be released after being imprisoned in the prison for a few years. He was not sentenced to death."

Cheng An guessed that this person was about to say "but".

As expected, Bai Heng took a deep breath and continued, "But he disappeared two hundred years ago. We have not found either the man or his body yet."

She simply didn't know what to say.

Missing? Seriously?

I still remember that in the original plot, it was Jingliu who broke into the prison and took Yingxing away. After that, she taught him swordsmanship in an almost harsh way, allowing him to bring the feeling of death to more evil creatures.

She didn't want to describe in detail the distortion and cruelty involved, but that was all due to the two great stimuli of Bai Heng's death and the Yin Yue Rebellion. The hatred that forced her to kill her best friend blinded Jing Liu's eyes and reason, and coupled with the influence of the evil spirit, the two friends turned against each other and became like that.

But now?

Bai Heng is also alive. What happened back then was not even punishable by death for Ying Xing. Would Jing Liu still have such a strong hatred for him? But if it was not Jing Liu's doing this time, who else would be able to kidnap someone from the prison?

Cheng An's intuition told him that if something unusual happened, he would be pretty close to guessing what happened based on the original plot.

------------

In fact, Cheng An's guess was generally correct, and Jing Liu did contribute to this. It is true that she brought the man out and taught him swordsmanship, but it was not out of hatred, nor did she treat him as cruelly as in the original plot. Jing Liu took action this time because they were all bound by the demonic body.

Feeling the increasingly rich erosion in his body, watching Bai Heng and Ying Xing trapped in the torture of the evil body, thinking about his former teammates turning into monsters, Jing Liu gradually understood the choices Ying Xing and Dan Feng had made.

But their initial attempt was still within the territory of Luofu, and therefore they were constrained by many aspects, such as their lack of understanding of abundance, the profoundness of the dragon transformation technique, the prohibitions of the laws of the Immortal Boat, and the inability to atone for the sins caused by failure.

In the end, Jingliu resigned from the Yunqi Army to prevent herself from getting older and losing control sooner or later, which would leave greater hidden dangers for her friends and Luofu. However, she could not turn a blind eye to the "disease" that her best friend was suffering from, so she went to the Youyu Prison to find Yingxing without leaving a trace.

She asked him if he still had the same idea and obsession as before to eradicate the evil spirit, and whether they should work together to find a solution in the universe.

The result was obvious, Ying Xing agreed.

Jingliu left Luofu with his accomplices, traveling through the sea of stars to conceal his true purpose.

As for what happened afterwards, they found new accomplices, discovered new methods, and encountered new accidents, but that is a story for later.

But now, Bai Heng knew nothing about it. Jing Yuan might have some guesses, but he was no longer in Luofu, and he didn't want to get to the bottom of it. In the end, he chose to turn a blind eye to the murder of his good friend and mentor.

But Cheng An cared a lot about it. She regretted not going to see Ying Xing again before leaving.

Thinking about when she made an emergency landing in Luofu hundreds of years later, Ying Xing had already become a Blade, and he had also joined the Star Core Hunters. Now thinking back on what he said at that time, he must have been very concerned that she didn't see him again before she left.

Perhaps he had always thought that Cheng An had a grudge against them, which was why he suddenly disappeared and never met them again.

What a huge misunderstanding! Cheng An screamed in her heart. She really didn't hate anyone! She really liked everyone very much!

She was not worried that Ying Xing would experience the same hardships as in the original plot, because everyone's mental state seemed to be very stable now, and there shouldn't be any major accidents. Besides, he would join the big family of Star Core Hunters in the future, so there was no need to worry too much.

Cheng An had a mysterious intuition that Ying Xing would be fine.

What she cared about more at the moment was that if she had the chance in the future, she would definitely explain things to him face to face. They were such good friends, and she would never hold any grudge against him.

Of the five friends, two are still sitting in front of him, one is traveling in the universe, and one is missing, but Cheng An has a hunch that this disappearance is most likely related to Jingliu and will not be a problem. There is only one left.

An old friend who left a deep impression on Cheng An, and who, according to him, would soon lay eggs and give birth to newborn eggs.

She sighed: "So, where's Brother Danfeng?"

The other two looked somewhat disappointed. Finally, Jing Yuan, who handled the matter as a general, said the predetermined outcome: "Not long after you left, Brother Feng, under the promotion of the Chiming Clan and other forces, forced the egg-forming metamorphosis to be implemented."

When Cheng An heard this, she felt indescribably heavy. She had never forgotten for a moment the conversation she had with Dan Feng in the prison that day.

To be honest, it is a scene that anyone who has experienced it will never forget in their life.

The reserved and beautiful senior and good friend, who was punished himself, had to comfort her who was ignorant. It was a tearful and chilling memory.

Maybe it was because she had already been sad, so when she heard Jingyuan tell her the ending that she already knew, she was unexpectedly calm.

But what Jing Yuan said next made Cheng An open his eyes wide.

He said: "The one in the prison now is Dan Heng."
