"The Medicine King's Secret Sect has been making a lot of moves recently, which we have noticed for a long time. However, its internal structure is very fragmented. Trying to completely destroy the entire organization by only targeting one arrested criminal is like trying to put out a fire."
"In fact, a few months ago, the Shence Prefecture had obtained intelligence from a branch, and Qingzu sent an investigator to spy on it. Unfortunately, it seems to have failed. The Yunqi who carried out the mission lost contact and their fate is unknown."
"Brother, do you have any insightful suggestions?"
Jingyuan acknowledges Qiong's erratic thought process; sometimes he can't even keep up with it, and it might unexpectedly come in handy.
As for calling him "brother"... if not "brother," should he really be called "master"?
You should at least confirm with the master craftsman.
"That's easy, kill, kill, kill!"
Qiong's fingers moved through the void, as if playing a match-3 game.
“Kill them all. The families of all members involved in the organization, including parents, brothers, children, wives, and friends, will be wiped out completely. If one person participates, hundreds of their family members will be exterminated, and ten generations of their families will be wiped out. Let’s see who dares to join then.”
"...I think you're being a bit extreme."
Jing Yuan smiled. This method is crazy!
It might actually work, but this is the age of interstellar civilization. The Immortal Ship has always loved peace and harmony. How could it possibly implicate innocent people in such a way?
"With the current disaster ravaging the Star Core, the Cloud Cavalry is already exhausted from dealing with other matters and has little energy left to attend to anything else."
Jing Yuan's tone returned to that of a normal, friendly general; Qiong could almost picture his smiling face just from his voice.
"Brother, would you be willing to help me handle this matter?"
Qiong has that ability, and given that he has Luo Fusheng's face and is an outsider, he is undoubtedly the best candidate to investigate the secrets of the Medicine King.
"What about the reward? How much is the reward?"
With her head pressed close to Qiong's ear, Xing couldn't help but exclaim as she tried to snatch Qiong's phone, but Qiong pressed her face against hers and pushed her away.
"Brother, you know me well."
"Rest assured, the Immortal Ship will definitely not treat you unfairly."
No, I mean...
Qiong muttered to himself with self-pity, "Jingyuan, I know you are the Immortal Boat General, wielding great power, in charge of the six departments, second only to the Marshal and above millions of people, but one must not forget one's roots."
"Have you forgotten who took care of you, changing your diapers and feeding you? Who raised you? Who taught you every move and technique? Who made you a Cloud Cavalry General? It was Jingliu!"
"But you are clearly a disciple personally raised by Jingliu, yet you have no respect for me whatsoever, and you won't even call me 'Grandmaster'..."
There is a hint of sadness and pain in Qiong's voice, like a stepfather who is disliked by his child.
"..."
Jingyuan's facial muscles twitched uncontrollably.
Jingliu is her master, that's true, but he's not her mother!
They'll take care of you like a baby, changing your diapers and feeding you!
Jing Yuan took several deep breaths, a barely perceptible hint of gritted teeth lurking beneath his otherwise friendly tone:
"Then...Master, would you be willing to help me handle this matter?"
At the same time, a clear, ethereal sound echoed in Qiong's mind.
[Mission Assignment: All evil will ultimately be brought to justice!]
[Mission Description: The ruthless and cunning Medicine King has been lurking in the Immortal Ship for a thousand years. Jing Yuan hopes you can use your extraordinary wisdom to expose them from the shadows, eradicate them, and bring them to justice.]
[Task Reward: 0-180 Crystals depending on task completion.]
"Eh!!"
Qiong retorted, "How can we talk about willingness or unwillingness? Your business is Jingliu's business, and Jingliu's business is my business."
"The Medicine King's secret recipe? Hmph! I'll make sure it never returns!"
Qiong scoffed disdainfully, "Those who invade my Immortal Ship's territory, Qiong will surely crush them!"
"..."
Jingyuan struggled to maintain his tone.
"Thank you. I'll leave the matter of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings to you...Master. Also, the Shence Prefecture has recently received intelligence that someone in the Changletian area seems to be inciting the non-Chinese people, which may be related to the Medicine King's Secret Teachings."
After saying that, Jing Yuan hung up the call.
If they continued talking, he was afraid he'd end up having sex with konjac noodles.
Qiong didn't care and happily put her phone back in her pocket, but Xing grabbed her collar.
Xing pulled Qiong in front of him, his golden eyes sharp as if he were watching a husky whose food had been stolen.
"Qiongzai, explain to me what Mirror Flow is all about?"
Jealousy is impossible for her; she'll never be jealous in her life. After all, she is Sora, and she likes to be close to beautiful girls!
The problem is, this kind of gate is turning its back on itself!
He said he was going to the Black Tower Space Station, but instead of going there, he went straight to play with Qingque and even got to have a close relationship with a white-haired beauty.
That's white fur!
"Oh, don't worry. Call me 'Dad,' and I'll give you a crystal. I'll introduce you to Jingliu later, how about that?"
Qiong put his arm around Xing's shoulder and held up one finger.
He didn't know when Jingliu would meet Jingyuan, but he figured it would be good to get Jingyuan to call him "Grandmaster" a few times!
Even if he gets exposed, if he has another idea in an instant, his seniority can still continue to rise!
"1 crystal..."
Xing rested her chin on one hand, and after a moment of silence, said nonchalantly, "Okay, Dad!"
Anyway, she cried out a lot in bed last night, and Qiong also called her dad and mom a lot. Next time, I'll just coerce him into calling them back.
As she spoke, Xing tossed a crystal to Qiong.
"So, are we going to infiltrate the Medicine King's secret teachings next?"
"What? Infiltrate?"
March 7th, who had lost a number guessing game and was on her way back from buying snacks from a roadside stall, heard the keyword and instantly transformed into a pink Samoyed, rushing over.
"What does Mr. Dahao need our help with this time?"
When the snacks were shared with Qiong and Xing, March 7th's eyes lit up.
Before Agent Xiao Sanyue could even make a move, Qiong and Xing had already taken care of the two criminals from before, and she wasn't satisfied yet.
"It's not Dahao, this time it's General Jingyuan... um, speaking of which, Ah Qi."
Xing took the snack and suddenly thought of a question: "What should I call my wife's apprentice?"
"what?"
A question mark popped up on March 7th's forehead, wondering what had gotten into Hagi Star this time.
"It's Jingyuan. He asked us to do him a favor and investigate an organization."
Qiong held the snacks in her hand, but instead of eating her own, she snatched the snacks from Xing's hand.
So, what does that have to do with his wife's apprentice?
Oh well, never mind.
"And then what? What's our next move?"
March 7th is eager to try.
"Investigative missions are not suitable for multiple people to act together. Fortunately, we have two leads, so let's split up and act separately."
One clue was obtained by Qiong from the mind of the Fairy Boat Woman using the Feather Crossing Dust, and the other was the Chang Le Tian clue mentioned by Jing Yuan.
"How about we have a competition?"
Seeing Bai hope and Xiao Ya Ya rejoin the queue to buy Fairy Happy Tea, Qiong snapped her fingers.
"Contest?"
The little duck was puzzled.
"Yes, the competition."
Qiong recounted to Bai hope and Xiao Yaya the matter that Jing Yuan had asked him to investigate the secrets of the Medicine King, and then continued:
"We split into two groups, each investigating one of the two leads, and then determined the winner based on the results."
Even though it's a system task of his own, there's no rule that Qiong can't use a tool!
"The losers' bracket must unconditionally grant the winners' bracket one request."
Qiong smiled and twirled a finger around.
The sight caused both Little Duck and March 7th to twitch, and Bai hope, who hadn't completely forgotten what happened last night, blushed.
I will grant any request unconditionally.
That's a big game!
But if you win, the rewards are also substantial.
"Let's talk about how to group them first."
The little duck gently opened its mouth.
Although her thoughts gradually began to change under Silverwing's persuasion, she still wanted to reorganize the firmament.
"As for the teams, Bronya and I are the two with the strongest investigative abilities, so we'll each be the team leader. You can choose which team to join."
Qiong leaned against the wall, arms crossed over her chest.
March 7th and Little Duck exchanged a glance, and Little Duck then looked at Xi'er.
Walking up to Bronya, March 7 crossed her arms and pouted her cat-like mouth: "Okay, I'll take the bet!"
Xiao Sanyue has lofty ambitions. As long as she defeats Qiong, she can use this request as a shield if the situation from last night happens again!
Bai hope was undoubtedly with Xiao Yaya. She didn't dare to be alone with Qiong at all, otherwise she would recall the events of last night and want to find a crack in the ground to crawl into.
Everyone looked at the other gray-furred creature. Xing's expression was extremely conflicted, as if she were having a fierce internal struggle.
After much deliberation, Xing took a step closer to Qiong.
"What? Xing, have you really betrayed us?"
Xiao Sanyue looked at her best friend Xiang Qiong with a serious expression.
"Ah Qi, I'm sorry, I..."
"Great!"
Cheers erupted on March 7th.
Without Xing holding her back, she's sure to win this time!

Chapter 268 Qiongqin Wine, Xingfuduka.
As evening falls, the setting sun and the setting sun create a picturesque scene.
Changletian was teeming with tourists, and the bustling streets seemed to dispel the shadows of the star core.
In reality, the general public knows nothing about the Star Core. People here live in peace and enjoy a rare moment of rest after a busy day.
"Barbecued, fried, and desserts—we have it all! Don't miss out, passersby!"
"Boss, give me two skewers of this, this, and this."
The gray raccoon pointed and gestured.
