Chapter 584
Chapter 584
"What is the purpose of your visit this time?"
"Yun Li met you after the previous battle on the Immortal Boat. Then your Starry Sky Train suddenly left here. We, the major Immortal Boats, originally wanted to thank you for the information you sent us."
"Otherwise, we would be ambushed by Huanlong and the resurrected Hu Lei, which would be a lot of trouble." General Huai Yan frowned slightly, as if he was lost in memories, with a hint of relief in his eyes.
The tragic scene of that battle still seemed to appear before his eyes. The surprise attack led by Huanlong and the resurrected Hu Lei almost put the Immortal Boat into an unprecedented crisis. If it were not for the Starry Sky Train transmitting key intelligence in time, the situation of the war would have been disastrous.
"But I'm still curious, what did you do to Yun Li, little friend Lin Yu?" General Huai Yan changed the subject and stared at Lin Yu with a sharp gaze.
"Why does she keep repeating your name every day, as if she is...cursing you?" Huai Yan said the second half of the sentence with some meaning, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, as if he was smiling, making it hard to tell whether he was joking or really had doubts.
Lin Yu listened to what the old man Huai Yan said and felt a little confused.
He raised his head slightly, his eyes full of confusion, and his mind quickly searched through the memory fragments related to Yun Li, trying to find out when he had offended this young lady again.
"When did I offend Yun Li?" He muttered to himself, his brows furrowed, a look of distress on his face.
"Even if I offended her...it was because I wiped her feet a long time ago, right?" Thinking of that bold experience, he took it upon himself to wipe Yun Li's muddy feet. She thought the matter was over and she took it out on herself.
Lin Yu was puzzled and thought to himself, he really couldn't think of any other reason that could make Yun Li so obsessed with him and curse him by muttering his name. What was the reason?
Lin Yu really couldn't figure it out, so he had to bite the bullet and said to General Huai Yan, "General Huai Yan, I really don't know why Miss Yun Li is like this. I wiped her feet that day as a temporary measure, and I didn't mean to offend her at all. Since then, we have been traveling on the Starry Sky Train, and except for the meeting after the martial arts ceremony, we have never had any intersection with her. Is there any misunderstanding?"
"Wipe feet? What wiping feet?" Huai Yan frowned slightly.
Seeing this, Lin Yu thought to himself that something was wrong and his face turned pale and red. He didn't expect that Huai Yan didn't know about this.
He looked around and saw that everyone's eyes were focused on him. There was no way to avoid it, so he could only laugh dryly and briefly recount the embarrassing incident before. "General Huai Yan, to be honest, when I was in Luofu before, I met Yun Li by chance, and then she stepped into a puddle barefoot. I... wanted to help, so I wiped her feet. I thought it was just a small matter and I would let it go later. Who knew it would make her so worried. " Thinking of Yun Li's angry and annoyed look at the time, Lin Yu couldn't help scratching his head, feeling helpless.
After hearing this, General Huai Yan was stunned at first, then he raised his head and laughed, "Hahaha, so that's what happened! You are quite naive, boy." After laughing, he shook his head slightly, but his eyes showed some understanding, "Yun Li, that girl, has been spoiled by me since she was a child. She is proud and arrogant. How could she have suffered such grievances? I guess she has thought about this matter over and over again in her heart. I am afraid she is angry and surprised at your ignorant behavior."
General Huai Yan's laughter gradually subsided, and his expression became more serious. "My dear friend Lin Yu, although Yun Li is a bit stubborn, she is not a bad person. As a grandfather, I want to protect her, but I can't help but spoil her too much, which has made her develop this arrogant character. What you did that day may seem like a simple effort to others, but in her eyes, it may have touched the deep emotions in her heart that she usually hides."
"Haha, let's not talk about this anymore. Let's get back to the point. Tell us why you're here."
"General Huai Yan, when we were exploring other worlds, we encountered difficulties on the way. The train lost kinetic energy, the boundary anchor failed, and we were trapped in that world. Fortunately, with the help of Miss Black Swan, we had the opportunity to come to the Immortal Boat. We know that Zhu Ming Immortal Boat has superb craftsmanship, so we specially come to ask the craftsmen to help us build some special instruments for observing the sky."
Lin Yu said this, deliberately concealing the things about the world of Onfalos.
His eyes flickered slightly, avoiding the general's direct gaze, trying to make his narration sound natural and smooth, but he was secretly worried in his heart, fearing that this subtle abnormality would be noticed by the general.
After all, the world of Omphalos involves many secrets, and in the current delicate situation, it is better to have less trouble than more.
"So so many things have happened to you? No wonder these Sky Star Trains seem to have disappeared and are nowhere to be found."
"But what is the purpose of an instrument for observing the sky?"
"In fact, we suspect that there are buildings floating in the sky of that world, but we can't see them with our naked eyes. It is very likely that they are hidden by special means. Is there any equipment that can allow us to observe them?"
After hearing this, General Huai Yan stroked his beard, pondered for a moment, and cast his eyes on the busy craftsmen in the workshop. "Well, it sounds a bit tricky, but the craftsmen in Xianzhou are very skilled, so it is not impossible to create such tools."
"Come here for a moment." Huai Yan said to someone.
An old craftsman with gray hair, a weathered face but bright eyes put down his work, walked over quickly, and saluted the general respectfully, "General, what can I do for you?" General Huai Yan pointed at Lin Yu and Liu Ying and briefly explained the situation. After listening, the old craftsman looked at the two carefully and said, "General, this job is difficult, but it is also interesting. We can try it, but the time..."
"We only have less than a day." Liuying added eagerly.
"One day? Are you in such a hurry?"
"Starry Sky Train has come to ask for help this time. Time is urgent and the matter is of great importance. I hope you can take more care of it." Huai Yan said to him.
The old craftsman pondered for a moment, then looked at Lin Yu and Liu Ying again, his eyes more resolute, "Since the general has said so, we can't be vague. Although the time is tight and the task is heavy, the craftsmanship of our Xianzhou craftsmen is not vegetarian!" After that, he raised his hand and called to the craftsmen around him, "Everyone has heard it, let's work together and work harder. We must help our friends on the Starry Sky Train to build the equipment within this day!"
The craftsmen responded in unison. For a moment, the fire burned even more vigorously, as if it would engulf the entire workshop. The sound of hammers became more rapid, like dense drum beats, playing a melody of racing against time.
