Kiana and the Captain's Bizarre Adventure

"Let us handle this ourselves. You've already done more than enough."

The smile on Shi Zhilu's face disappeared. She looked at Jing Yuan quietly, and she could feel the emotions surging within him.

However, since he himself said he didn't need help, Shi Zhi Lü Zhe would naturally be tactless. In any case, someone as shrewd as Jing Yuan would easily deal with those corrupt old fogies.

……

"So, this is what you've experienced these past few days?"

Kiana looked up at the Herrscher of Knowledge sitting to the side and said, "The Herrscher of Knowledge is currently drinking juice and complaining about Fu Hua's attitude these past few days."

"So what if I haven't come back to let you know I'm safe these past few days? Do you have to talk to me like that? I'm not a little kid!"

"Haha, in a sense, you're only eight or nine years old, so the class monitor will naturally be more inclined to care for you through education."

"Ki! Ya! Na!"

"I'm so sorry, it was my fault. I'll talk to the class monitor properly later. You can stay with me for now."

"I knew you would treat me well, unlike that old fogey who's like a mother hen, interfering in everything and making me feel so uncomfortable."

Kiana could only offer an awkward yet polite smile in response. After transmitting her assignment to Einstein, Kiana, finally free, stood up and stretched.

"I'm going out for a bit. If you're free, you can use the computer in my room to play some games."

After hearing the Herrscher of Knowledge's response, Kiana casually opened the hatch and returned to the Celestial Ship.

Yes, Kiana returned to the Hyperion in the Sea of ​​Quanta to ensure she had a quiet environment and could freely search for answers.

Kiana was able to sneak onto the Hyperion ship thanks to her memetic body. Now that Kiana has finished her homework, she should take advantage of the few days she still has to have some fun.

"I see. So the Knower of Laws is now on the Hyperion, right?"

On the street, Kiana was walking side by side with Fu Hua.

Kiana stopped at a food stall and ordered a few more snacks. This was the third time she had stopped at a food stall that day.

"Hmm, class monitor, sometimes I feel you don't need to be so strict."

"But you know, Xiaoshi is only nine years old at most. Even if she has all my memories, with her childlike and willful personality, I'm sometimes really worried that something might happen, especially since we'll be going to one unknown world after another, and the dangers there are unpredictable..."

“I understand what you’re saying, but pushing her too hard will only make Xiaoshi more rebellious. Sometimes I really feel like the class monitor is like a clueless, stupid parent. He just wants to care about her, but he’s clumsy and doesn’t know how to express it, and in the end, he ends up having a big fight with her.”

Kiana, who had just received a snack from the vendor, ate the freshly made snack while sharing the hot treat with Fu Hua and the Azure Book standing nearby.

Fu Hua opened her mouth, instinctively wanting to refute, but then she thought about how her interactions with the Herrscher of Knowledge over the years were indeed similar to what Kiana had described. Unable to refute her, she could only let out a sigh.

"You're right, maybe I really should change the way Xiaoshi and I interact."

"Good to know. Should I send you back to the Hyperion now?"

"No, I need to think about this carefully these next few days, and I also need to think about how to test Su Chang, who is about to graduate."

"If you ask me..."

Kiana swallowed the food in her mouth and wiped her greasy mouth with her hand.

"If you ask me, we should just let Su Chang and Yan Qing fight again. Anyway, with Jing Yuan and you here, the two of them can't cause any trouble no matter what. It'll be good for me to see what kind of battle these two people who Xiao Shi praises can put on."

Fu Hua pondered for a moment, pinching his chin with his right hand as he considered the feasibility, and finally decided that it was worth a try.

"Okay, I'll discuss the feasibility with Mr. Jingyuan later. If Mr. Jingyuan agrees, let's do it that way."

"Speaking of which, isn't Yanqing the counterpart of your former apprentice, class monitor?"

"That's true, but Kiana, how did you know? I don't think I mentioned them to you, did I?"

"Ah... this... I used some special methods...? Putting that aside for now, how do you think Yanqing in this world compares to Yanqing in our world?"

Fu Hua looked at Kiana's embarrassed expression, and although she was a little puzzled, she ultimately did not press the matter further.

"To be honest, I don't have a very deep impression of the seven disciples I once took in. If I had to say, perhaps only Chaoyu left an indelible mark on my heart. So if you ask me about the difference between the two Yanqing, I really can't answer that for a while."

Fu Hua shook her head and gave Kiana a slightly apologetic look, which made Kiana even more embarrassed.

"However, the impression Yanqing gives me in this world is that of a spirited and talented young man. Although he has suffered setbacks during this period, as the saying goes, 'no destruction, no construction,' I believe that his future will be bright. Life is full of ups and downs, and everyone will experience failure and pain. But as long as we turn these into our own experience in the future and move forward steadily, we will eventually succeed. Yanqing, these are the words I want to give you."

After saying that, Fu Hua looked at the corner to the side, and Yan Qing, knowing that she had been exposed, could only slowly walk out from that corner.

"Thank you for your guidance, Senior Fu Hua. Yanqing will remember it."

"Remember this best, so have you found your path?"

"To be honest, not yet. The general punished me by suspending me from my post for several months and ordered me to stop interfering in the affairs of the Cloud Cavalry. After these few days of reflection and observation, I feel more and more that my past self, who only pursued the joy of victory, was very naive. It makes me feel that my sword should be wielded for something else. For this reason, I have been working day and night to improve my swordsmanship, but I do not feel any sense of fulfillment. I only feel increasingly empty."

Yanqing looked down at her palms, then clenched them into fists.

“In the past, an older sister who defeated me asked me why I wielded my sword, but my answer did not satisfy her. Instead, when I asked her back, the determination she showed shocked me. Perhaps a true swordsman is one who is unwavering in his goal, just like that older sister. It was from that moment that my swordsmanship began to crack.”

"Then move forward with this question in mind. A lifespan of a Celestial Ship dweller is very long. You have plenty of time to think about this question, just like I spent thousands of years thinking about a single question. But at the same time, you must remember that time waits for no one. Sometimes it is more important to stop and think."

After saying that, Fu Hua left the place with Kiana and the Book of Azure Profound. A few days later, the duel between Yan Qing and Su Chang was held as scheduled. At that time, the entire martial arts arena was packed with people, all of whom were Cloud Cavalry who had come after hearing about the duel.

On that day, Su Chang and Yan Qing fought for hundreds of rounds without a clear winner, but in the end Yan Qing was the one who prevailed and narrowly defeated Su Chang by one move.

Although Su Chang lost, she successfully graduated with the recognition of the Herrscher of Knowledge and Fu Hua. With their last task on the Immortal Ship coming to an end, it was time to set off for a new world.

The Star Train had already departed for their next destination several days earlier.

Before his departure, Qian Yuan once again summoned the Hyperion's group and held a unique farewell party for him, and exceptionally presented the captain with another Alliance Jade.

Finally, amidst the cheers of the many Cloud Cavalry, Hyperion slowly ascended into the sky, sailed out of the Jade Gate, and disappeared into the Milky Way.

"General, do you think we will ever see them again?"

Are you asking about the Star Train or the Hyperion?

"Both."

Jing Yuan smiled and patted Yan Qing's head.

"The universe is so vast that we will meet if we are destined to; if we do not meet, it is simply because our time has not yet come."
