Fu Xuan: I Can Rest Easy Leaving This to Qingque

In the lobby of the guesthouse, the aroma of food mingled with the fresh morning air.

Bai Luoming and March 7th walked side by side, their steps in sync, carrying an inexplicable tacit understanding.

Welt was holding a cup of coffee, his gaze fixed on a copy of the Luofu Morning News in his hand. Xing, on the other hand, was eating voraciously like a hamster, her cheeks bulging out.

Seeing this, the two pretended to be calm and sat down at the table. Looking at the breakfast laid out around them, Bai Luoming picked up a steaming bun and took a big bite. March 7th lowered his head and sipped the porridge in his bowl with a spoon.

"I thought you wouldn't be down for a while," Xing said, her mouth full of food, her words muffled.

On March 7th, he ignored Xing's words and continued to drink his porridge with his spoon.

Bai Luoming, without changing his expression, took another bite of his steamed bun before saying, "How could I? The weather is so nice today; if I stay in bed, wouldn't that be a waste of such a beautiful day?"

Xing looked at Bai Luoming, blinked, and was about to continue speaking when Welt interrupted her by putting down his teacup.

The porcelain cup and tray made a soft clinking sound, drawing everyone's attention.

"Now that everyone's here, let's get down to business." Welt adjusted his glasses, his expression regaining its usual composure. "Today's core mission is to cooperate with Divination Commission to capture the Stellaron Hunters, Kafka."

"Should we go to the Divination Commission first? By the way, do you think you can find anything special in the trash cans there?" Xing's focus was always so unique, her face showing eagerness.

March 7th nodded obediently, then looked at Bai Luoming with a questioning look in her eyes.

"I have no objection," Bai Luoming said to Welt, swallowing the bun in his mouth.

Seeing that everyone had reached a consensus, Welt stood up. "Let's set off after we finish eating."

Before long, the group finished breakfast and left the guesthouse. Welt even took out his terminal and hailed a Starskiff.

Soon, the Starskiff docked on the platform outside the gate of the Divination Commission.

As soon as the group stepped off the Starskiff, they saw two figures who had been waiting for them for a long time.

Leading the group was Tai Bu Fu Xuan, dressed in a familiar outfit. She was petite, but her aura was not to be underestimated.

A hint of joy flashed in her eyes the moment she saw Bai Luoming.

However, the look in Fu Xuan's eyes only lasted a short time. She quickly remembered her identity, straightened her face, and regained the dignity befitting a diviner.

On Fu Xuan's other side stood General of Military Strategy Guang, aboard the Jade Abacus Xianzhou Yaoguang.

"Master Diviner Fu, General Yaoguang." Welt stepped forward and greeted them calmly, then went straight to the point, "I wonder which diviner Luofu plans to send to accompany us?"

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan's spirits lifted. She subconsciously straightened her back, and her eyes became firm.

This was an opportunity to travel with Bai Luoming. She had been planning this for a long time and naturally wouldn't want to miss it.

Fu Xuan cleared his throat, preparing to volunteer and take the job upon himself as a matter of course.

"This matter..."

She had only uttered two words when a hand reached out from the side and pressed down on her shoulder.

Fu Xuan's words were interrupted. She frowned and secretly tried to break free, but found that Yaoguang's seemingly casually placed hand was incredibly heavy to her. No matter how she struggled in secret, it was like an ant trying to shake a tree, and she couldn't budge it.

She then turned her head angrily and looked directly at Yaoguang's kind smiling face.

You think you can mess with me? I've seen more of life than you've ever walked. Trying to sneak away right under my nose? No way!

Completely ignoring Fu Xuan's murderous glare, Yaoguang Guang spoke first with a smile to Welt, saying, "Capturing Stellaron Hunters is a matter of great importance. Perhaps I, a general of the Yuque, should personally accompany you distinguished guests to ensure everything goes smoothly."

She deliberately emphasized the word "general," but her eyes casually glanced at Fu Xuan, carrying an undisguised declarative meaning.

Upon hearing this, Fu Xuan immediately became anxious.

You bastard, Yaoguang! You've stolen my thunder!

Adhering to the principle of "If I can't have it, you won't have it either," she decisively gave up the struggle and turned to focusing all her efforts on forming a team.

"For General of Military Strategy of the Yuque to personally capture a mere Stellaron Hunters is like using a sledgehammer to crack a nut." Her voice was cold, tinged with sarcasm. "If word gets out, it will make it seem like Luofu has no one else to rely on. In my opinion, it would be far more appropriate for me to take matters into my own hands!"

The two were locked in a fierce confrontation, as if invisible sparks were crackling in the air.

Seeing that things were not going well, Welt silently pushed up his glasses and gestured to the three young men behind him. The four of them retreated a distance in perfect unison until the voices of the two arguing became indistinct, and then they stopped.

"Wow." March 7th exclaimed, watching the two arguing. "These two sisters have such a good relationship. They even fight over who can help with missions. Are all the Xianzhou native this enthusiastic?"

Xing crossed her arms, looked at the two people in the distance, and retorted, "I don't think so. I always feel they have ulterior motives."

"Hey, don't always think so badly of others, okay?"

Bai Luoming shrank behind Welt, keeping his mouth tightly shut and not uttering a word.

He vaguely felt that the reason for the dispute between the two was because of him. Although thinking like this might be a bit presumptuous, if you put it into the context that they were both reborn, that is, his so-called future girlfriends, then everything would make sense.

Thinking of this, Bai Luoming couldn't help but shrink back. He was already attracting far too many girls, and he was already struggling to cope. If another one came along, he wouldn't know what to do.

After a heated yet restrained "friendly exchange," Fu Xuan and Yaoguang looked rather grim, but the dispute had been brought to a halt.

Seeing that the two had temporarily calmed down, Welt led the three of them forward again.

At this moment, Fu Xuan's face was full of "unwillingness," and his eyes even carried a hint of resentment. As for Yaoguang, who was standing to the side, although he still had a smile on his face, his smile had lost some of its composure and gained more of a gritted-teeth meaning.

Clearly, neither side gained an advantage in this confrontation.

Bai Luoming was secretly astonished, never expecting Fu Xuan to be so powerful, actually managing to fight Yaoguang to a draw.

Fu Xuan looked at the Astral Express Crew who had returned to the Divination Commission, took a deep breath, and as if making a difficult decision, said to the Astral Express Crew, "After careful consideration by General Yaoguang and myself, we have unanimously decided to dispatch the Divination Commission's most capable diviner— Qingque —to assist you in this operation."

Meanwhile, inside the Divination Commission)...

Qingque was huddled behind a table piled high with documents, the mountain of papers completely obscuring her figure and forming a perfect cover.

At this moment, she lowered her head, her hands hidden under the table, holding a Jade Abacus, on which was the battle interface of "Imperial Jade".

And!

As a large golden font popped up on the screen, Qingque happily accepted the points for the "Pure One Suit Pairs Hand" and a satisfied smile appeared on her lips.

Paying to slack off is indeed the ultimate secret of life.

Just as she was about to start the next round, a steady and familiar sound of footsteps approached from afar.

Qingque shuddered. She knew that footstep all too well.

Then, with lightning speed, she stuffed Jade Abacus into her pocket, casually pulled a scroll from the "mountain of documents" next to her, spread it out in front of her, and pretended to work.

Soon, the footsteps stopped in front of her desk.

Qingque felt her heart skip a beat.

"How's the work going?" Fu Xuan tapped the mountain of documents with his fingers, his tone revealing neither joy nor anger.

Upon hearing this, Qingque secretly breathed a sigh of relief and quickly stood up from his seat, his face full of loyalty and diligence. "Reporting to the Lord Diviner! Your subordinate is working with all his might and dares not slack off in the slightest! What are your orders, Lord Diviner? Your subordinate will gladly die for you!"

Fu Xuan's lips twitched as he looked at her slightly flamboyant demeanor.

Fortunately, although Qingque is a bit lazy, at least she's not a reincarnated person, so I can entrust things to her with peace of mind.

Thinking of this, she sighed softly. Although she wasn't the one who personally contacted Bai Luoming, it was still better than having her senior sister steal the credit.

"Alright, let's leave that for now. I have something good for you."

"Good news?" Qingque blinked, looking completely bewildered.

"You will be assisting the passengers of the Astral Express in searching for the Stellaron Hunters Kafka throughout the entire Luofu region."

Upon hearing this, Qingque was overjoyed.

Assisting the train passengers? Doesn't that mean I can see Bai Luoming? And it's a field mission, so I can skip work legitimately!

This isn't just a good thing, this is an absolutely fantastic thing!

She was overjoyed inside, but on her face she still pretended to be reluctant to leave her job.

"But, Lord Diviner... since it is your order, I will naturally obey. However, what will happen to these materials if I leave? This work will be due soon if it is not done quickly, and I... I can't rest easy!"

Although Qingque's acting was a bit exaggerated, this performance actually reassured Fu Xuan even more. She rolled her eyes and said to Qingque, "Alright, how could I not know you've become so passionate about your work? I'll find someone to take over your job, so you can rest assured."

"Yes!" Qingque immediately bowed her head and accepted the order, fearing that the Lord Diviner might change his mind.

She turned and walked towards the door. Just as her figure was about to disappear from Fu Xuan's sight, the sorrow on her face vanished instantly, and the corners of her mouth turned up in a wild, uncontrollable smile.

Not only did she get to be in close contact with Bai Luoming, but she also successfully got rid of a mountain of work—it was a double blessing!
