That's right, I'm referring to Mengming, the owner of the Everlasting Marquis's mansion, not some Grand Diviner from the Grand Divination Bureau!
"If we're talking about laws governing short-lived species, I should still be considered a minor!"
"To become a Cloud Knight at such a young age, that's truly..."
Just when Yanqing thought that Lu Fu was going to praise him, Lu Fu changed the subject.
"I never expected that the Cloud Cavalry would actually employ child laborers!"
"Ahem, Mr. Luffy, you can't say that. I was specially recruited into the Cloud Cavalry because I am a disciple of a general!"
"Oh, I see!"
Although Luffy really wanted to say that it was because of connections.
But to avoid really angering them, Luffy kept his mouth shut.
Looking at the little boy Yanqing in front of him, Lu Fu couldn't help but tease him.
"Speaking of which, young brother Yanqing, you've become a general's disciple at such a young age. You're truly remarkable. I bet you have many girls pursuing you, right?"
"Hey?"
Yanqing had never encountered such a problem before, and her face couldn't help but turn red when the topic came up.
But he quickly replied with a serious expression.
"As a Cloud Rider, how can I be troubled by matters of the heart?"
Yanqing then spoke with a proud expression.
"I'm going to be the Sword Master of Luofu, women are just a hindrance!"
His straightforward remarks immediately surprised Luffy and Furibas.
"Ahem, Yanqing, you don't need to be so aware of this!"
At that moment, a white-haired man walked over from the side.
Upon seeing the newcomer, Yanqing showed a hint of respect and then spoke slowly and deliberately.
"General, why are you here?"
Indeed, the newcomer was none other than Jing Yun, a general from Luofu.
Upon seeing the legendary General Luofu, Fulibas couldn't help but take a second look.
The legendary General Jingyun did not have the serious demeanor one would expect from a general.
On the contrary, he had a refined and easygoing demeanor, with the corners of his mouth slightly upturned, as if he had everything under control.
There was absolutely no truth to what Fulibas had heard during his time in Luofu about having three heads and six arms, or being a fierce demon.
As expected, unofficial histories are completely unreliable!
At this moment, Jing Yuan looked at Yan Qing with a complicated expression.
Having taught Yanqing for so many years, Jingyun basically treats Yanqing as his own son.
And then you tell me you're not interested in girls.
Jingyuan originally thought that Yanqing was too young to be interested in such things.
And now you're telling me that Yanqing is simply not interested in girls?
Jingyuan was originally hoping to hold Yanqing's child before he fell into the demonic body.
Now it seems there's no chance!
"Yanqing, life is always full of regrets. If you meet a good girl, never give up on her!"
At this moment, Jingyun still wanted to struggle a bit more.
If Yanqing really grows up to be corrupted, that's what Jingyuan can't accept.
"Why, General? It's not a big deal if you don't get married. You're not married yourself, are you?"
Yanqing frowned slightly, clearly puzzled by Jingyuan's words.
Women, women only slow down my sword-wielding speed!
If there is no woman in your heart, you will be a god when you draw your sword!
He had just seen this skirt in a storybook by chance. When he saw it, Yanqing thought it was so well said!
"That's because this general is getting old!"
Upon hearing this, Jingyun immediately offered an explanation.
"And what about when the general was young?"
That was, of course, dealing with the chaos caused by the drinking of the moon!

Volume 1: Chapter 222 Establishing Trade Relations with Luofu
Of course, putting aside Jing Yuan's thoughts for the moment, Yan Qing also looked at Jing Yuan with a questioning gaze.
"General, what brings you here? Shouldn't you be sleeping at this hour?"
It can only be said that this is how life is for the elderly. Yanqing had long since figured out Jingyuan's habits.
Unlike Fu Xuan, Jing Yuan believed in leaving get off work on time and never staying a minute longer.
Furthermore, as the general of the Immortal Ship, no one dared to stop him.
Of course, Jingyun would still stay at the General's Mansion in an emergency.
"Oh dear, this matter concerns the secret teachings of the Medicine King. If I stay in the General's Mansion and keep watch, I'm afraid Fu Qing will come to ask me to abdicate in her place tomorrow morning!"
Despite saying that, Jingyuan acted indifferent.
If Fu Xuan weren't currently incapable of taking over the general's position, Jing Yun would probably have already retired to a leisurely life.
After He Yanqing finished speaking, Jing Yuan's gaze also fell on Luffy and Furibas.
"I apologize for the trouble you two have encountered today. This is due to our poor hospitality at Luofu. On behalf of the General, I promise to make amends to you both properly afterward!"
"Really? What kind of compensation is there?"
At this moment, Furibas also looked at Jingyuan with anticipation.
Luffy, somewhat helplessly, said to Fulibas.
"Furibas, show some restraint. What will others think of us if you act like this?"
As he spoke, Luffy looked at Jingyuan with anticipation.
"So, General Jingyuan, what is the compensation?"
Seeing the identical expressions on their faces, even Jing Yuan couldn't help but twitch his lips.
"After all, it's a promise from a dignified Immortal Ship General; surely it will satisfy us!"
Good grief, they're trying to extort me!
Looking at Luffy's expectant eyes, and knowing that he had made the promise, he certainly couldn't go back on his word.
"Of course, a gentleman's word is as good as gold!"
Jing Yuan quickly assured him.
"I've heard that you two are from Yalilo VL, a planet that has only recently re-established contact with the universe. Returning to space must have brought you considerable trouble. How about we, Luofu, sign a trade agreement?"
As one of the major powers in the universe, it's not necessarily a bad thing for Xianzhou to sign a trade relationship with them.
Anyway, it's all about making money, so having another option is always a good thing.
In the entire Belleburg district, the only thing that can be traded is their own stockings.
In the end, the money still ended up in Luffy's pocket.
Of course, Luffy was nine-tenths suspicious that Jingyuan had his own selfish motives for agreeing to trade with Yalilo.
Yes, I'm talking about you, Igor!
"Then I will thank General Jingyuan on behalf of Arilo VL!"
"Haha, it's nothing. It's always better to have one more friend than one more enemy!"
"To be honest, I also have a question I'd like to ask Mr. Luffy?"
"What doubts?"
As soon as he finished speaking, Jing Yuan's expression turned serious.
"It concerns the attack on you two by the Medicine King's Secret Sect. Although we have successfully captured some remnants of the Medicine King's Secret Sect, the mastermind behind it all remains unknown. I wonder if you two could provide any clues about the Medicine King's Secret Sect so that we can eliminate this organization as soon as possible and bring you justice!"
"The Medicine King's secret teachings... anyway, I remember the leader was a woman!"
Upon hearing this, Jingyuan's eyes lit up.
It seems there really is a clue.
"Are there any other clues?"
"Um, he looks pretty ordinary, his hair seems to be brown, he should be a Celestial Ship person?"
Fulibas rambled on and on.
Although a lot has been said, there are actually very few useful clues.
The only clue we have is that the person is a woman.
Of course, even this clue might be wrong, after all, the universe is vast and there are many amazing species.
Some people look like women on the outside but are actually men on the inside, while others look like men on the outside but are actually women.
He is male both outwardly and inwardly, but due to cognitive impairment, he believes he is female.
There are also things like omnics.
In short, on some planets, there may be dozens of genders, such as the category of gender.
However, if she's on a celestial ship, then let's assume she's a woman for now.
"Miss Furibas, can you say something useful?"
Yanqing, who was standing to the side, couldn't help but speak up after hearing what Fulibas said.
If they really follow Fulibas's instructions to make arrests, then they will have to arrest at least half of the women in Luofu.
"Well, I really can't explain it!"
At this moment, Furibas scratched his head somewhat embarrassedly.
If it were the underworld, she could describe it for three days and three nights.
As for the member of the Medicine King's secret lineage who was previously trying to capture them, Fulibas had no way to deal with him.
"Does Mr. Luffy have anything to add?"
Upon hearing this, Jingyuan had no choice but to place his last hope on Luffy.
"Is it possible that my train took a picture of that person?"
After all, I've heard that a race has recently appeared in the universe, and they're using their racial characteristics to cause trouble in space every day.
Even a billionaire could declare bankruptcy in a heartbeat if he were extorted.
So, just in case, Luffy also installed a trip recorder at the very front of the train.
"No, you have a trip recorder, so why didn't you say so earlier?"
Fulibas looked at Luffy with a hint of resentment.
She talked for so long, making herself look like a clown.
Luffy shrugged helplessly at this.
"You didn't ask, did you?"
Upon hearing this, the three people present fell silent instantly.
In the end, Jingyuan broke the silence.
