Star Iron: I picked up a secretary at the beginning of March 7th

"Who was it I was thinking? It turned out to be you."

"You don't seem to be at all surprised by my arrival?"

Noticing two star fruits on a plate nearby, Iori picked one up and asked Xiang Hualin, "Can I have one?"

"Don't you already have the answer in your mind?" Hualin held the tip of the fruit knife and handed the handle over. "You know I know you like to eat star fruit, but you still ask me."

"I am a guest after all." Iori took the knife and asked casually while peeling the star fruit, "But what are you doing here, daydreaming? Well... that seems like something you would do."

"Just taking a break from the busy schedule." Hualin smiled faintly, "When you are tired, take a break and dance with the breeze; when you are upset, be quiet and gaze at the flowers and plants."

"Now that I think about it, a lot of what Sister Cangzhu said makes sense."

Zi Ma paused for a moment with the knife in her hand, then cut off a small piece of carambola and put it into her mouth: "So where are your breeze and flowers?"

"..."

Hualin turned around and saw Zi Ma's playful expression, and was speechless for a moment - couldn't he just stare blankly?

"Let's go back to the topic at the beginning. Aren't you the least bit surprised by my appearance?" Seeing that Hualin didn't want to bring up the topic, Zi Ma spoke first, "Don't tell me that you guessed I would come and specially prepared these things for me."

As she spoke, Zi Ma picked up another star fruit on the plate and began to peel it skillfully.

"I did have this thought at first, but later I ruled it out." He put down the cold coffee in his hand, "After all, a bird appeared on the train, and the first thing I thought of was the library, but then I found out..."

"It doesn't necessarily mean something happened at the library." Zi Ma put the peeled star fruit on the fruit knife and handed it to Hualin, "Because you have other options in your mind."

"Thank you." Hualin took the carambola and took a bite, then looked at Zi Ma and waited for her next words.

"Child, I can't blame you for this, but this is no reason for you to give up on yourself." Zi Ma wiped her hands with a piece of paper. At the same time, she looked at the two knives on her waist, then took one off and threw it to Hua Lin. "You can't stop planting flowers just because you're afraid that they will wither. How can you know the outcome if you don't try?"

"By the way, remember to return the knife to me. I want you to return it to me personally."

"Oh yeah, I'll give you this too, it might be useful."

"Ok?"

Before Hualin had time to look at the sword that Zi Ma threw to him, he looked up and found that Zi Ma was nowhere to be seen. On the plate where the carambola was originally placed, there was something that Hualin was so familiar with that it couldn't be more familiar - an invitation to the library.

"This...Why does Zi Ma still have an invitation letter in her hand?" Hualin's expression gradually became serious, because every time this thing comes out, there will be a big event.

"I originally thought it was just a battle for inheritance, but I didn't expect..."

Hualin glanced down at the sword that Zi Ma threw to him, then looked at it carefully - it was the slender Western sword with a guard, or in other words, a rapier.

Unlike the samurai sword which is good at chopping, the rapier, as its nickname suggests, is a sword that is good at stabbing.

(From the three passive offensive postures of Zi Ma and the three knives and swords in the illustration, one is slightly bent at the waist, which is speculated to be a slashing knife; one is slightly straight and slender, with a Western sword-like guard, which is speculated to be a stabbing sword; the sword behind is shorter and wider than the first two, which is speculated to be a striking sword.)

"No, Zi Ma, give me this..." Looking at the rapier in his hand, Hualin was a little confused for a moment - he had never used it before.

But now that things have come to this, Hualin has no reason not to accept it. After putting it on his waist, Hualin took out the claw blade.

Looking at the somewhat dim blade, Hualin swung it a few times, trying to activate his ability, but nothing happened.

"Tsk, that's really annoying."

At the same time, on Cangye's side.

"This must be Miss Huang Quan, right? Hello, I'm Ji Zi, the navigator of the Star Train." Not long after Cangye and his group met Ji Zi, they saw Uncle Yang and Huang Quan walking towards them.

"Hello, my name is Sanyueqi! This is Cangye." Seeing Jizi introducing herself, Sanyue also introduced herself to Huangquan, "I won't introduce Xing, you must know him."

"Hello." Huang Quan glanced at everyone and then asked the question that Uncle Yang wanted to ask, "Where is your companion?"

"He's on his way." Cangye answered casually, "But I don't recommend waiting for him, because he himself doesn't know how long it will take for him to arrive."

"I see..." After hearing Cangye's words, Huang Quan seemed to be thinking about something, and then changed the subject and said, "But you all don't seem to be surprised by my appearance."

"Surprising?" Cangye glanced at everyone and found that no one seemed to have a surprised expression on their face.

"Since Walter decided to go with you, it means he trusts you." Ji Zi stepped forward and explained, "And we also trust his judgment."

"Your relationship is truly enviable."

"Miss Huang Quan is not a dangerous person, and she has no hostility towards the Starry Sky Train. Sha Jin's previous accusation was only one-sided." As if he was afraid that someone would misunderstand him, Walter explained, "Therefore, he is obliged to give a reasonable explanation before continuing our cooperation."

"Hmm... So, Uncle Yang, are you going to create a situation where three parties are present together?" Hearing Uncle Yang's words, Cangye keenly perceived Uncle Yang's purpose, "Considering the gambler's words and identity, I must be more cautious."

"There must be a deeper logic behind Shajin's actions. I guess he has been aware of the secret of Pinocchio from the beginning, and has been making plans to uncover it." After hearing Cangye's words, Uncle Yang also began to analyze carefully, "In this case, the position of the Star Train in his plan is crucial. In the worst case, he may use us to do something extraordinary."

"So I think we should take the initiative." Cangye interrupted Uncle Yang, "In the back alley, once you are in a passive position, your life and death will depend on the mood of the opponent."

"Cang Ye, what you said sounds reasonable, but..." Sanyue glanced at Cang Ye's cold eyes and said with a lack of momentum, "This seems to be considered only in the worst case scenario. Sha Jin... no matter what he said, he represents the company and he shouldn't do this."

"March, don't think too highly of others, and don't think too badly of others either."

"Well......."

"Okay, everyone. Instead of guessing and worrying here, why not go find the answer yourself?" Seeing that everyone was a little worried, Ji Zi encouraged them, "In order to solve the mystery of the 'Watchmaker', we must need the information in the hands of the company, and we have to deal with the gold dust. Even if there are dangers ahead, facing the challenges head-on is 'pioneering', right?"
