The ancients watched me play the Starry Sky Railway

"They were grieving over that text when someone suddenly spotted them."

"What are you doing? The helmsman's daughter is here with a stranger, touching everything. How can it be so embarrassing?"

"What are you holding? Let me see... Master Yukong's... diary?! How brave of you!"

Yan Ming was so frightened that his soul left his body. He stared at Xing and said, "How dare you read Master Yukong's diary? And bring his daughter with you? By the Emperor's grace, you are truly..."

"Xing smiled bitterly and scratched her head. This wasn't something she brought with her to see."

"Didn't you just catch her rummaging through the treasure chests in your Palace of Hours? Are you so quick to label her the culprit? Stereotypes are a bad idea."

"Mr. Yanming, calm down. This has nothing to do with her. There's a reason..." Qingni hurriedly explained the whole story.

"..." Yan Ming sighed, "Qingni, Master Yukong won't let you become a pilot. I know you're unhappy about that, but she also has her concerns."

"Qingni understands, but now she wants to know what her mother has been through."

"Well, I've been here for a while now. If you have anything you want to know, just ask me directly. Don't look through it randomly. It's a bad habit." Yanming put the diary back and pretended that this had never happened.

"Xing asked about Cai Yi."

"According to Yanming, Yukong and Caiyi had a very good relationship and were the best of partners. After Caiyi's husband Guangyuan died, Caiyi rarely partnered with anyone other than Yukong... Unfortunately, not long after, Caiyi also passed away."

"Xing asked Cai Yi if she died because of the arrow from Emperor Bow Siming, because she remembered that Dan Shu also turned evil because his friend was affected."

"Iwaaki shook his head. Cai Yi had already passed away before the Emperor's bow and arrows were sent down."

"That's the life of a pilot. No one knows if this flight will be the last."

"Cai Yi's death was a huge blow to Yu Kong. After the battle, Yu Kong kept Cai Yi's belongings with him, and would take them out and look through them from time to time."

"Why are you so focused on Yukong?" Xing's unique skill of focusing on something strange has activated.

Iwaaki blushed. "W-What are you talking about... I just hear too much gossip."

"Does this old guy like flying in the air?" Even a simple-minded person like Xu Chu could see that something was wrong with Yan Ming.

"Hmph." Cao Cao snorted, feeling powerless as if he couldn't reach the sky.

Damn old man, what level is he, liking married women as much as him?

…………

"Where exactly are Aunt Caiyi's belongings?" Qingni murmured, then suddenly realized and quickly waved her hands: "No, no, no, I don't want to go through Mom's desk."

"..." Yan Ming stared at her and sighed helplessly: "Forget it, I'll just pretend I knew nothing and leave. Not being present when the leader's privacy is exposed is also the most basic quality for us in the workplace. Don't tell your mother that you saw me today!"

Cao Mao was a little upset: "Everyone knows to be cautious about their superiors' privacy, but what about you, Sima Zhao? You bastard!"

While he was in the palace, Sima Zhao probably knew everything he ate, drank, and which concubine he favored!

He has no privacy!

…………

"After Yanming slipped away, Xing and Qingni went to look through Yukong's desk."

"This time, I actually found something incredible. It's Cai Yi's diary."

"Because they had already read Yukong's diary, their bottom line had been crossed, and they read Caiyi's diary without hesitation."

"At first, Cai Yi's words were very lively, and he was eagerly looking forward to fighting alongside Yukong, killing the abundant evil creatures, and defending the territory of Xianzhou."

"Later, when Caiyi's husband died, she ended up comforting Yukong... because Yukong, in his efforts to comfort her, ended up crying even harder than she did."

"Later, when Cai Yi was nursing her baby in the rear, she informed Yu Kong that she was safe and that she had already thought of a name for the child."

"——Qing Ni."

"When Qingni saw those two words, she was struck by lightning. Her eyes went haywire and she almost dropped the diary in her hand."

"Qingni is not Yukong's biological child?" Yang Guang smacked his lips.

How should I put it? Although Yukong is beautiful, but suddenly knowing that her child is her comrade's, and she is not a married woman... for Yang Guang, her charm seems to have decreased.

Empress Xiao seemed to see what he was thinking and rolled her eyes wildly in her heart.

You have no conscience. When you are so sad, you are still thinking about whether Yukong is a married woman!

…………

"So that's how it is... No wonder Yukong is unwilling to let Qingni be a pilot no matter what." Yue Fei sighed, with a look of realization in his eyes.

If he encountered such a thing, he would probably have the same idea.

If it were my own child, I would support him no matter what path he took, as long as it didn't go against morality! Even if I knew that the path was extremely difficult, I would never stand in his way!

But if that child is his comrade-in-arms, and is entrusted to him by a close friend... then he would never dare to let him get hurt.

…………

"Xing placed his hand on Qingni's shoulder and gave her the courage to continue watching with his silent eyes."

Qingni wiped the tears from her eyes and continued reading.

"At the end, Cai Yi was about to go to a brutal war. She had a premonition that she might die, and she wrote a lot of things that resembled a will to Yu Kong."

"The most important thing is—"

"Yukong, if you survive and I don't, please take good care of Qingni... Of course, I know you will. You know the password to my savings account, please accept it all as Qingni's support."

"Please fully support Qingni no matter what she wants to be, but she must not be a pilot. Don't let that child touch the sky."

"At this point, the truth is basically out."

"This is the agreement Yukong and Caiyi had already made."

"So, I'm not actually my mother's child, but Aunt Caiyi's child?"

“Well, I had a vague feeling about this, but when I actually learned about it, it still felt like a dream.”

"Qingni looked disappointed."

"Don't let that child touch the sky... Is this why Mom refused to let me become a pilot?"

"She didn't want to break her promise to Cai Yi, nor did she want to lose another Cai Yi," Xing said.
