As soon as Jing Yuan said this.
Yanqing and Yunli both showed expressions of surprise.
Fortunately, there were no outsiders here.
No reporters or audience!
Otherwise.
Jing Yuan's actions would surely have caused an uproar!
"Jing Yuan doesn't care about the lives of the Cloud Knights," "The general's image collapses," and similar topics might quickly appear on the internet.
Feixiao and Huaiyan remained composed.
After all, this was Luofu.
How Jing Yuan dealt with his subordinates was none of their concern.
Moreover.
The situation on the scene indeed seemed somewhat off!
Mok Tok lowered his head even further.
In a tone filled with disbelief, he asked, "General, what are you...!?"
It could be said,
Mok Tok fully acted out the state of suspicion!
Jing Yuan, however, spoke indifferently, "Don't misunderstand. I just want to know your military record. You've made a contribution this time, and there will surely be rewards in the future."
Beneath his helmet, a flash of anger crossed Mok Tok's eyes.
At a time like this.
He still had to go through this routine!
These Xianzhou people are indeed hypocrites!
Even their general is the same!
He replied, "I am but one among countless cloud riders. My true name is not worth mentioning. Please, General, focus on the bigger picture!"
However.
Jing Yuan's expression suddenly turned cold.
He said in a deep voice, "I am asking you. Report your name."
At this moment.
The general's imposing aura poured forth.
Mok Tok's heart skipped a beat!
How could this be!
His identity couldn't have been exposed!
His current appearance and characteristics were those of a Xianzhou foxian.
Jing Yuan had just arrived at The Shackling Prison.
Unless he had the ability to read minds, how could he have seen through his disguise so quickly!
As Jing Yuan's words fell.
The atmosphere on the scene became somewhat different!
Fortunately.
When Mok Tok infiltrated Xianzhou, he had specifically created a false identity for himself.
Although a thorough investigation would quickly reveal flaws, it should suffice for the current situation.
After reporting his identity number.
Jing Yuan nodded.
Mok Tok quickly added, "General, please forgive me. I am severely injured and cannot protect the generals within The Shackling Prison."
"I request to take my leave first!"
Jing Yuan smiled slightly.
Returning to his usual lazy and amiable demeanor.
He said, "Don't leave. You are a hero."
"No, I arrived late. I am at fault!"
Still dragging it out!
Not to mention Yanqing and Yunli.
Even Feixiao beside them was somewhat puzzled.
Why was Jing Yuan so fixated on a cloud rider?
"Rest assured, we don't need you to protect our safety."
"I am inviting you in the name of the general."
"Next, Honkai: Star Rail will unveil a new storyline."
"Stay here and watch it with us."
Mok Tok: "..."
Mok Tok wanted to bring up his injuries again.
However.
Jing Yuan preempted him, "As for your injuries, there's no need to worry."
"General Feixiao has a medical officer accompanying her. He will treat you."
After speaking.
Jing Yuan looked at Feixiao and Huaiyan.
"Would the two of you be willing to accept this proposal?"
"Watching it here in real-time will allow us to understand the Borisin's schemes immediately."
"Moreover, Hoolay is right before us. No matter what anomalies arise, we can handle them promptly."
Feixiao was the first to agree.
"Ha, Jing Yuan, I can't believe you came up with such a ruthless move."
"Playing the storyline in front of Hoolay, letting him watch his own future failure, and then dismantling his plans completely—truly killing both the body and the spirit!"
Huaiyan nodded, "I have no objections."
Everyone present reached a consensus.
Only Mok Tok, standing to the side, was trembling all over, feeling as if he had fallen into an icy abyss!
Damn it all!
What's wrong with you generals?
Do you really have to watch the new storyline of Honkai: Star Rail here?
I could have acted in the shadows all along.
But now,
I've been dragged into the spotlight, and there's no turning back!
I have no choice but to watch the storyline with them.
I can only hope that this time,
the plot will be more favorable to the Borisin.
I must stay fully alert and seize any opportunities through the progression of the story!
...
[Little Gui's Livestream]
"Everyone, according to official first-hand information!"
"The Borisin did indeed invade The Shackling Prison, but they failed to rescue their war leader, Hoolay!"
"There's video and photo evidence, so you can check it out on the official Luofu account."
"So, those worried about Hoolay causing chaos can rest easy~"
Guinaifen patted her chest and continued,
"However, there are still many unanswered questions!"
"Why has Hoolay remained alive for centuries? How did the Borisin silently infiltrate The Shackling Prison? What kind of conspiracy are they brewing?"
"Is this a distortion of human nature or a collapse of morality…"
"Welcome, everyone, to Little Gui's livestream!"
"Let's watch the latest storyline of Honkai: Star Rail together—[Homecoming Wardance]!!"
Bzzz—!!
The familiar sound of the train starting up.
Entering the game!
Every time Guinaifen logs off, she returns to the Astral Express.
And this time,
as soon as she logged in,
she received a system notification in the Parlor Car.
"You have an interstellar communication message, please check it promptly."
The livestream chat was as lively as ever.
...
"Let's see what the Garden of Recollection has updated this time!"
"Little Gui, you're the Emanator of Memories!"
"The car's background music is Hope Is the Thing With Feathers, just like mine!"
"Hehe, I'm here again!"
"Finally, it's here! Let's all watch it together~"
"Here specifically for Hoolay."
"Will Jingliu and Luocha appear in this storyline?"
"Xueyi, my Xueyi!!!"
"Xueyi fans, don't worry, after all, Xueyi's already dead."
"Wow, that's just rubbing salt in the wound."
...
The storyline begins.
As everyone expected,
before setting off for the next destination, the train received a communication from the Xianzhou Luofu.
Jing Yuan extended an invitation to the Astral Express Crew to attend the Wardance Ceremony.
March 7th immediately chimed in, "I do love joining in the fun… I just hope the next place we visit doesn't have some Friday or Saturday coming after us."
"The Xianzhou Luofu has just overcome a crisis, and hosting the Wardance Ceremony is a way to showcase its peaceful and secure state," Old Yang explained.
"That's what everyone said before going to Penacony! That there'd be no danger under the protection of the Family~"
March 7th mimicked Robin's tone.
Dan Heng stepped forward and calmly said, "There's no need to be overly paranoid. The Wardance Ceremony isn't like the Charmony Festival, which hides many secrets. It's simply a celebration to commemorate the Emperor's Bow and the Cloud Knights' heroic fight against the Abominations of Abundance to save the Xianzhou."
"Aside from the Starskiff cruise performances before and after the ceremony, it's just a series of martial arts and sword-fighting competitions. It's no different from the Taikiyan Motorball we've watched before."
...
"It seems Dan Heng doesn't understand the power of a flag…"
"It feels like he really wants to go back!"
"You can always trust March 7th's judgment!"
"If nothing unexpected happens, something unexpected is bound to happen."
"Hoolay: What a coincidence, I'm that Friday."
"Luofu: Oh no, they're coming for me!"
"Honkai: Star Rail is practically the Aeon of Destruction calling roll! Whichever region gets called is doomed! It's even more effective than the damn Annihilation Army!"
"Could it be that these regions were already destined for trouble, which is why Honkai: Star Rail's plot unfolds there?"
"The Path of The Finality has appeared!"
