These Vidyadhara were still too naive. They had believed that old rogue Levi's words so easily.
Lumine, who was hiding among the crowd and serving as part of the atmosphere team, couldn't help thinking this as she looked at the innocent Vidyadhara beside her.
She glanced at the solemn-looking Levi behind them, quietly slipped through the crowd, and disappeared into a small alley nearby.
After reaching another place, she took a detour by following the map and returned to the scene.
With a change of identity, she went from a member of the Aimen to an ordinary Xianzhou citizen watching the show.
The sound of thousands of people running stopped in an instant.
As the words "Take them down" fell, the Aimen members charging forward all froze in place, then turned around in confusion and stared at Levi standing on the utility pole.
It was as if they were saLumine, "Boss, what do you mean?"
He had been riling them up just moments ago, yet the next second, when they were fired up and had started charging, he pulled this stunt.
Under the gaze of thousands of pairs of eyes, Levi's expression did not change at all. Looking at the Cloud Knights who had frozen up in the distance, he raised a hand and pointed at the pink-clad Aimen member in front.
"What are you all standing around for? Are you refusing to listen to me, or are my title and authority as a Trailblazing Envoy fake?"
Hearing this, the surrounding Cloud Knights immediately came to their senses. Each of them took out shackles, captured the troublesome Vidyadhara, and led them away.
Every Vidyadhara being taken away couldn't help looking toward Levi as they left.
When they saw Elysia following leisurely behind him, their expressions became somewhat dejected.
Their fantasies had been shattered.
But some people did not think that way.
Looking at Elysia following behind Levi, they believed that Elysia had been forced into it by the evil Levi.
Perhaps for some unknown reason, she had given the order to charge and cooperated with the scoundrel Levi to arrest them.
Otherwise, based solely on their daily acts of kindness, the Cloud Knights had no excuse or reason to arrest them.
"Oh, my god! I will definitely save you!!!"
Hearing this, Elysia froze for a moment and turned toward the voice.
That single glance made the person's conviction even firmer.
Defeat the demon Levi and rescue the fairy Elysia.
"How about it? My first accomplishment after taking office."
Levi raised his eyebrows at Jing Yuan. Jing Yuan glanced at Levi, who was showing off to him, then at the Aimen members being taken away one after another. Recalling what had just happened, the corner of his mouth twitched slightly.
Judging from what had just happened, he had almost thought Levi was really about to launch a rebellion.
Although the Aimen's numbers were not yet enough to contend with the Cloud Knights, with Levi, the ace in their midst, added to the equation, that might not necessarily be the case.
That one man alone could probably beat the entire Cloud Knight force until none of them could raise their heads.
After all, he was someone capable of dealing with two Emanators.
There was nothing to say about his strength.
Jing Yuan pondered for a moment before saLumine, "Well done. But do it less often."
If this happened a few more times, he was afraid his heart wouldn't be able to take it and he'd be sent off one day.
"Mm-hmm, mm-hmm..."
Just then, Elysia patted Levi on the shoulder and nodded toward the Vidyadhara.
The corners of her mouth lifted slightly, and she looked like she was holding back a laugh.
Levi looked in that direction and immediately narrowed his eyes. "TrLumine to rebel?"
"Defeat the demon Levi! Rescue the fairy Elysia!"
"..."
Looking at the young Vidyadhara, each of them worked up into a frenzy and needed two Cloud Knights to hold them down, Levi glanced at Elysia, who was smiling at him.
He directly hooked an arm around her neck, a mocking smile on his lips, and crooked his finger at the Vidyadhara in the distance.
The provocation was unmistakable.
Feeling the arm around her neck, Elysia's smile stiffened. An unnatural flush slowly spread across her face.
To keep anyone else from seeing it, Elysia silently lowered her head and widened her eyes, counting the patterns on the ground and the ants passing by.
But to the people of the Aimen, this scene meant that Elysia wanted to refuse but didn't dare to.
She could only express her unwillingness in this way.
As a result, their already-burning passion became even hotter.
To make matters worse, Levi spoke again. "If you've got the guts, come on. I, Levi, will be waiting anytime."
Seeing those people about to charge again because of Levi's words, Jing Yuan hurriedly spoke up to mediate.
"If you have some grievances to settle, you can wait for the martial arts tournament held by the Luofu later. Then you can settle your grudges there while also receiving attention from across the galaxy and raising your own fame. Why not?"
Then his tone suddenly changed, and his voice grew dark.
"But for now, if you cause trouble here... don't blame the Cloud Knights' blades for being too sharp."
After using both soft and hard measures, those people finally calmed down and were taken away one by one by the Cloud Knights for interrogation.
Jing Yuan breathed a sigh of relief inwardly and looked at Levi with a somewhat helpless gaze.
This place had almost turned into a massive brawl just now.
Fortunately, it had not developed into that kind of situation. Those young Vidyadhara were not completely brainless.
"Looks like I messed things up."
Levi rubbed his chin as he spoke.
He had originally wanted to shatter these people's beautiful fantasies about Elysia, but it had instead turned into him becoming the bad guy who was forcing Elysia to do things.
He really had no idea how their brains worked. Did the way she shouted look anything like someone who had been threatened?
Levi withdrew his arm. Elysia raised her head, with a faint blush still lingering on her cheeks.
She looked at him with an expression of agreement.
"I was threatened."
Levi immediately covered her mouth. He glanced at the group that had already gone far away before slowly letting go.
He gave the mischievous Elysia an annoyed look.
"With a shout like that, if they hear you, they're probably going to start something again."
He nodded slightly toward Jing Yuan. "Anyway, there's nothing for me to do here. I'm leaving."
With that, he took Elysia and quickly ran off.
Seeing this, Lumine also hurried after them.

[Some Time Later]
Levi's jade communicator received a message from Jing Yuan.
"The Nameless of the Astral Express, Stelle, has gone missing on the Luofu. If you have any information, contact March 7th. You're familiar with them, so I'll leave this matter to you."
"No problem."
Levi knew with his eyes closed that this guy had definitely run off to hide somewhere to dodge her debts.
With a thought, he opened the group chat.
[Levi: @Stelle Where are you now?]
The most brilliant investigations often use the simplest methods.
[Stelle: Why are you asking?]
It was clear that Stelle was still somewhat wary about being asked for her location.
[Levi: I bought a Starskiff. I'm planning to take you out for a ride.]
"A Starskiff?! Where? Where? Where?"
Before Stelle could say anything, Elysia, who saw the message, got excited first. She had been coveting the Luofu's technological marvel, the Starskiff, for a long time.
Unfortunately, her requests had always been rejected.
Could she finally get to try one today?
Even with Levi saLumine that, Stelle remained wary.
[Stelle: No need. I'm planning to stay inside all day today.]
Not just today. She might not leave tomorrow, the day after tomorrow, or even the day after that.
There was no shortage of food or drink here, and the internet was available. If she got bored, she could even read the research materials from Herta and Ruan Mei and experience the sensation of knowledge passing through her brain.
"Levi, where's the Starskiff? Where's the Starskiff?"
"..."
