Collapse of Iron: The Immortal Boat Life of the Envoy of the Order of Fertility

"Lord Yunli, we are here."

"You came a little late, and the person ran away."

"I'm sorry, sir, this is an oversight on our part."

Although the people of Jinwuwei didn't understand what the running away had to do with their late arrival, they still had to admit their mistakes in front of their boss, especially a boss with such a powerful and terrifying background.

"This isn't actually your fault, and I won't blame you. If I had killed it from the beginning, this wouldn't have happened...

However, I will not hold you responsible for this matter, but I need an explanation for the Medicine King's secret teachings."

Originally, the Jinwu Guards were relieved that they no longer had to bear unnecessary responsibilities.

But after hearing Yun Li talk about the secret teachings of the King of Medicine, their worries, which had been relieved, became tense again.

"Xianzhou's attitude towards the Medicine King's secret teachings throughout the universe has always been to eradicate all evil. Why are there so many traces of cultivators' activities in Isuma Island under its rule?"

"As far as I know, there is not only one gardener like Tanjia in this place. He also has many colleagues who are in competition with him." Yun Li paused and looked at the expressions of these people.

Um, I can't tell with the mask on.

"Don't try to fool me with your lack of manpower. These cultivators aren't hiding their whereabouts at all. A simple investigation would reveal them. What allowed you to allow them to commit such crimes and endanger the local people?"

Yun Li didn't show any expression, but these people could hear the coldness in her words.

"Sir, it's best if you don't interfere too much in this matter. Although it's not a big deal, I'm afraid of you..."

"Don't worry about anything. Even though I'm still a child, I've seen a lot. Just tell me what you want to say. I won't blame you."

"clear."

"Although the Tarasa star system is a subordinate star system of the Immortal Ship, the Immortal Ship is constantly moving, and its supervision over these star systems is not very strict."

"And in order to avoid excessive interference in local internal affairs, the Immortal Boat only left a very small number of Cloud Riders on important planets to report any major events."

"The Medicine King's secret activities are not a major issue. We just need to let Xianzhou know of their existence. Before they take further action, Xianzhou will not interfere."

"After all, the universe is so vast, and the Medicine King has so many secrets, the Immortal Boat simply can't handle it all."

“Secondly, apart from using the remains of the immortal boat that Tanjia and his men salvaged for themselves, a large portion was sold directly to the immortal boat.

After all, those things are highly recognizable, and few forces in the universe are willing to accept them on a large scale."

"Antique immortal boats of unknown origin are easily targeted by the Immortal Boat Alliance."

"So before these cultivators of the King of Medicine's secret teachings can cause further harm, the Immortal Boat's attitude towards them is more like using them? They're being made to do some dirty work that's not worthy of public display."

"Well, you could say that."

"Tsk, is it feasible for me to kill them all?"

"Of course there's no problem with that. Xianzhou just doesn't have the energy to deal with them, so they choose such laissez-faire management. We are also willing but unable to do anything about them."

"If you're willing to get rid of them, that would be fine."

"I understand. You guys can go now. There's nothing for you to do here."

Yun Li understood that these Yunqi were just a group of workers after all. Some things were simply beyond their control, and it would be useless to cause trouble for them.

It would be better for her to act coquettishly and talk to her grandfather about this matter. Maybe she can find some solution.

Yunli is only a fourteen-year-old child now, but because Luqing has been tutoring Yunli after school, she knows a lot.

Although young, I understand that we should not just look at the surface of things.

We must also proceed from reality when dealing with things.

This is Yunli’s change, the change brought about by Lu Qing.

Ask yourself, if it weren't for the appearance of Lanqing, she would now be just a naughty child who knows nothing but hunting swords.

Such a life would be carefree and free from confusion.

But even though she had learned a lot of knowledge and etiquette, she was still just a child.

Now she understood a lot, and her perspective on things gradually became clearer. Her life was no longer just about hunting swords...

Now she has seen the hard life that the people of Isuma Island live. Although she has been deceived, she still wants to do something to change the environment here.

I don't expect to change anything, but at least I want to ensure that local residents are no longer enslaved by the planters.

She hunted the Demon Sword herself so that others would not suffer the same fate as her.

Last year, she had wondered if she was hunting the Devil Sword solely to atone for Han Guang's sins. Besides her own peace of mind, what other purpose did hunting the Devil Sword serve?

What can I do after I have hunted all the magic swords?

If I don't encounter anything that can help me grow, what else is there in my life besides hunting swords and eating?

In the eyes of others.

Yunli may spend the first hundred years of his life, or even half of his life, on the journey to retrieve the magic sword.

After that, what awaited her was the ethereal and imaginary future, a future that was within reach but out of reach.

It was too early for her, who was only fourteen years old, to think about what to do after hunting the Demon Sword.

Yun Li originally thought so too.

But one day, Qingqing talked about this matter with me.

I only remember that day the teacher at school asked them to write an essay about their vision for the future.

I can't remember the content clearly, I just know that I wrote a long paragraph about hunting swords.

After reading the composition she wrote, Lu Qing came to talk to Yun Li.

"Yunli, are you confused now?"

"What is confusion?"

"Yes, now you have a firm goal, so of course you don't know what confusion is.

But Yunli, if one day you have hunted all the magic swords, what will you do?"

Yun Li thought for a while, and finally just shook her head with an innocent look.

"I do not know."

"Then why are you hunting for the Demon Sword now?"

Yun Li replied immediately: "Atonement."

"What are you atonement for?"

"...I don't know. Atonement is atonement. It's for my own peace of mind, that's all."

"You only know how to talk about me. What is your purpose in this world, Rangqing?"

"Me? My goal is simple. I just want to live, live better, and live a wonderful life with the people I cherish forever, until one day I get tired of it all."

"Strange purpose, it feels worse than mine."

Lu Qing looked at Yun Li and shook his head.

"No, for the people of this universe, just being alive is a great blessing."

"I don't understand. You keep saying things I don't understand... Can you just tell me what I can do after hunting swords?"

"No, this is your own path, you need to find it yourself, and others have no right to decide anything for you.

But I can teach you how to better find the path you want.

Do you want to learn?

"Well, I will learn anything you teach me, Ryoqing."

“Indeed, you are still a child, I hope you can understand one day.

If you don’t learn for me…it’s okay even if you learn for yourself.”

Yunli didn't remember much about that day.

All I know is that from that day on, Lu Qing took out a little red book from somewhere and instilled in her many principles that would not be taught in school.

……

"Renqing, I don't understand what you're saying now. But I think I know why you just want your life to be better."

"Unfortunately, I'm different from you. I can do nothing but use violence to uphold justice..."
