Star Martial Era: The Way of Star Light Cultivation

Chapter 1233: Chapter 493: Ying Ge’s Gift

Some things, if you have the chance to do them, you must do them.

So, this time on the diplomatic mission, Xu Jin brought Ning Yuchan as the deputy envoy.

On December 3rd, the starship for the mission landed at the Great Chen National Daoist School, where the accompanying military marquis and ceremonial officer sent by the Ministry of Rites, including a thousand elite Star Patrol Guards and historians from the Ministry of Rites, service personnel, had all been assembled.

When Xu Jin led the entourage on board, the ceremonial officer Zhu Xizhou almost popped his eyes out in surprise.

Had the State Preceptor not informed him in advance, he would have jumped up to scold someone by now.

This mission is meant to represent the national image.

The envoy is acceptable.

The deputy envoy, however, is a cripple leaning on a cane!

Doesn’t that make the Dahong look foolish?

It’s like giving them ammunition for their laughter.

Does Chen Country have no one else?

As for the crippled deputy envoy, it might still be acceptable, but the envoy Xu Jin also brought along the famous flying swordman Ying Ge as his assistant.

The title of flying swordman is a reputation Ying Ge earned over the past six months.

Of course, the ceremonial officer Zhu Xizhou also greatly admires this determined young man.

With half of his body disabled, he still worked hard to cultivate incomparable skills, his combat power far exceeding the average Fifth Tier.

He is the epitome of Dachen youth.

However, representing Dachen’s national image on a mission abroad like this is not very appropriate.

Clearly, this was someone brought by Envoy Xu Jin.

The ceremonial officer Zhu Xizhou was just about to say something, but Xu Jin’s gaze alone left him breathless.

It felt like a heavy stone pressed on his chest.

Zhu Xizhou was terrified.

He had cultivated for fifty or sixty years and was at least a Fifth Tier, though not skilled in combat, his strength was undeniable, yet he was silenced by a glance from a person of the Sixth Tier.

Not until Xu Jin’s eyes moved away did Zhu Xizhou regain the ability to speak.

After thinking for a bit, Zhu Xizhou silently sent a starlight transmission to National Master Cheng Yuxiao, hoping the State Preceptor would say something.

Never mind about the deputy envoy.

At least remove this Ying Ge from the list.

Otherwise, once they reach Dahong, they’ll really have endless ridicule.

[If not, why don’t you serve as the envoy on this mission?]

The starlight transmission received from National Master Cheng Yuxiao left Zhu Xizhou speechless, even feeling a bit afraid.

What kind of support must the State Preceptor have for Xu Jin to reply like that?

"Let’s set off."

Following the order from Envoy Xu Jin, the military marquis Lei Qi, responsible for the previous travel arrangements, immediately carried out the command, and in the next moment, three starships lifted in succession, rising into the air while beginning to accelerate.

This mission of Xu Jin’s is a very formal one.

It’s also considered an ice-breaking action for the currently frozen diplomatic relations between Dahong and Dachen.

Previously, due to the military action launched by Dachen to expel the Tianyang Star Hall’s stationed forces, the border between Dahong and Dachen was completely sealed. Not only was the transmission of the Star-picking Tower ceased, even the passage of merchant caravans became extremely difficult.

Therefore, this diplomatic mission’s task is to reconstruct the diplomatic relations between the two countries.

On the Dahong Empire’s side, upon hearing Dachen’s interest, they also agreed readily.

The main reason is that the Tianyang Star Hall suffered a great loss this time, and Dahong couldn’t afford to be the first to bring it up.

If they did, the whole of Dahong’s high officials would be displeased.

Dachen taking the initiative was naturally welcomed.

However, due to continued prohibition on the Star-picking Tower transmissions, they could only take the starship forward.

The journey is expected to take seven or eight days.

There are complicated procedures like passing through customs and filing reports.

Among the three traveling ships, besides the entourage, two were filled with gifts.

Most of them were flashy but impractical diplomatic gifts.

"Wow, this room is really big!"

After stepping onto the starship and entering his room, Xu Jin was slightly surprised as he introduced it to Ning Yuchan and Ying Ge.

"Do you know what my first experience on a starship was like?"

"The deck, I spent the night sitting cross-legged on the deck."

"Well, my treatment was slightly better; when I took the starship to the Galaxy Battlefield, I had a small cabin." Ning Yuchan laughed.

"Same here." Ying Ge added.

Xu Jin was dumbfounded.

It turns out he was the only one sitting on the deck all night.

But, in retrospect, even at that time, his mindset hadn’t transitioned, and even if he had some things at the time, he still chose to be frugal in all aspects.

Of course, it was also related to his family environment.

"In the future, I plan to build a super large mobile house boat, and then take it, along with food and drinks, to drink under the stars, and have tea in the clouds..."

Reclining in the large circular chair, Xu Jin arranged for a leisurely life ahead.

As for taking over the State Preceptor’s role?

Not him.

The old State Preceptor is still youthful, he should do more work.

Enjoying life, that’s something he should do.

"Drinking under the stars, having tea in the clouds, where would you sleep?" Ning Yuchan smiled with a twinkle in her eyes, looking at Xu Jin.

"That would naturally be... cultivating all night long."

Xu Jin’s tongue made a swirl; he had initially wanted to say fall asleep in the embrace of a beauty and then hug Ning Yuchan opportunistically, everything would seem smooth.

But with Ying Ge around as the third wheel, he couldn’t say it.

Speaking up might easily cause misunderstandings.

Suddenly, seeing the large suite the envoy had on the starship, Xu Jin slightly regretted bringing Ying Ge along.

If he hadn’t, doing anything would have been appropriate.

"So... shall I return to my room to cultivate?" Ying Ge’s perceptive skills were impressive.

"Sure, come over here."

Xu Jin patted his right side, signaling to Ning Yuchan to sit on his left side too.

"There are about seven or eight days on the road, so don’t waste it.

If you embarrass yourself, I won’t forgive you." Xu Jin said with a smile.

Bringing up this matter made Ning Yuchan slightly nervous as well, so she obediently sat on Xu Jin’s side, and Ying Ge naturally did the same.
