Just Pick a Name

When Tingyun heard Cloud Knights's words outside the door, her body trembled involuntarily. Clearly, the experience of Fu Xuan treating her like Bu Borisin was still vivid in her mind, leaving her with particularly severe PTSD.

However, Tingyun quickly realized that, in the end, Fu Xuan was just a diviner in the Divination Commission, while she was an employee of the Sky-Faring Commission. What did it have to do with her Divination Commission?

Even if Fu Xuan might inherit the position of general in the future, that's still the future. Just because I say you'll become Aeon in the future, does that mean I have to treat you as Aeon now? Don't tease me Tingyun is laughing.

With this in mind, Tingyun regained her composure and instructed the Cloud Knights guards still waiting outside the door, "Try to hold off Master Diviner Fu for as long as you can."

Cloud Knights hesitated for a moment before saying, "My lord, this isn't appropriate. After all, that's the Grand Diviner of the Divination Commission, and I'm just a lowly..."

Before Cloud Knights could finish speaking, Tingyun interrupted him, saying directly to the Cloud Knights guard, "Am I your superior or is Fu Xuan your superior? Do whatever I tell you to do."

Perhaps realizing his tone had been too harsh, Tingyun softened it slightly and said to the Cloud Knights, "If this matter is handled well, there will be a great reward. I will not mistreat anyone."

The Cloud Knights guards outside the door were initially hesitant, as both sides were individuals they couldn't afford to offend. However, after Tingyun mentioned the reward, their hesitation vanished. It's important to understand that Tingyun wasn't just the ferryman of Sky-Faring Commission, but also the chief representative of the Minghuo Merchant Guild. For someone like that, even a small favor was enough for him to use.

Having figured this out, the Cloud Knights guard saluted through the door and said loudly, "Yes, Lord Tingyun. This subordinate will do everything in his power to stop anyone who tries to enter this place."

"Go ahead, and remember to be quick-witted." Seeing Cloud Knights's sensible demeanor, Tingyun nodded in satisfaction.

Soon, the sound of Cloud Knights's footsteps receding into the distance could be heard outside the door. Only then did Tingyun turn around and say sweetly to Bai Luoming and Yaoguang, "Gentlemen, it doesn't seem like the time for competition now."

"Hey, hey, hey, tell Yaoguang not to drag me into this, I never agreed to it." Bai Luoming waved his hands repeatedly, rejecting Tingyun's suggestion to tie him to the same side.

Just kidding, it's not just Fu Xuan outside the door; according to the report, March 7th and his group are also there. If they find out, regardless of what others think, March 7th's second personality alone would be enough to give him a hard time.

Seeing Bai Luoming 'Yaoguang lack of romantic understanding, Tingyun rolled her eyes at him, then turned to Bai Luoming, seemingly seeking her opinion.

"Don't look at me like that. Now that the main party has come knocking, we have no choice but to end this here today."

Yaoguang waved his hand, looking rather helpless.

Upon hearing this, Tingyun knew that Yaoguang was unreliable at the moment. She sighed helplessly. Now that the progress of the strategy had increased so much, how could she be willing to let Bai Luoming take it away?

Before Tingyun could come up with a solution, she heard Yaoguang say from the other side, "Hey, Miss Tingyun, does this mean you're about to give up?"

"What else can I do? Like you said, the person in question has already come knocking on my door. What can I possibly do?"

Hearing this, Yaoguang covered his mouth and chuckled, then glanced at Bai Luoming, who was watching the scene unfold, and said meaningfully to Tingyun, "Miss Tingyun's words are true, but perhaps we have other things to do before that."

Tingyun was a smart man, and with Yaoguang's obvious hint, he naturally understood what Yaoguang meant. Then, Tingyun quickly walked towards Bai Luoming's direction. Seeing Tingyun begin to act, Yaoguang chuckled and also stepped towards Bai Luoming.

Indeed, it's comfortable talking to smart people.

Bai Luoming had been watching the show from the sidelines, but in the blink of an eye, the two men's target had shifted to him. He was unsure what they were up to, so he could only back away, trying to increase the distance between himself and them, while saying to them:

"What are you two sisters doing? Master Diviner Fu could be at our doorstep at any moment. Are you two thinking of doing that kind of thing?"

Tingyun and Yaoguang ignored Bai Luoming's words and continued walking towards him. However, seeing Bai Luoming, Yaoguang became dissatisfied and shouted at Bai Luoming, "What are you hiding for? Your sister isn't going to eat you!"

Bai Luoming scoffed inwardly. The two people in front of him were truly possessed. With a formidable enemy at hand, they were still thinking about food. If this were an emperor in a feudal society, his reputation would probably be on par with King Zhou of King Zhou.

But Bai Luoming just kept hiding, and the room was only so big. No matter how well he hid, he would be caught by the two grinning men.

Soon, Bai Luoming retreated to a corner of the room, where Tingyun and Yaoguang stood with light smiles on their faces. Seeing Bai Luoming with nowhere to retreat, the two chuckled in unison and said to him:

"Why aren't you dodging anymore? Is it because you don't want to dodge?"

After saying that, the two of them reached out their hands to Bai Luoming. From Bai Luoming's perspective, it was no different from a demon extending its evil hand to an innocent human being.

Seeing this, Bai Luoming closed his eyes in despair. However, to his surprise, the two did not lay a hand on him. Instead, they searched his pockets and took out some items.

He opened his eyes with some confusion. At that moment, Tingyun, holding his Jade Abacus in one hand and his terminal in the other, said to Yaoguang, "Time is of the essence, let's get started quickly."

Then Tingyun took out her Jade Abacus and gently touched it to Bai Luoming's Jade Abacus. The Jade Abacus emitted a crisp notification sound, "Friend added successfully."

Bai Luoming: "Huh?"

"So, you were acting like that just to add me as a friend?" Bai Luoming asked, somewhat puzzled, as he watched Yaoguang still adding him as a friend.

"Of course not, I could never do such a thing as harming my benefactor."

"Ah, this... I..." Bai Luoming was momentarily speechless.

Soon, Yaoguang successfully added him as a friend. Yaoguang even waved Bai Luoming's jade Jade Abacus at him and said, "Hehe, now I have all of your browser's history, little brother. I think you'll understand the implications, right?"

"What?" Upon hearing Yaoguang's words, Tingyun and Bai Luoming exclaimed in unison.

Bai Luoming's scream was for a simple reason: browser history was something a man would swear to protect with his life! He never expected that it would be stolen by Yaoguang and become a major threat to him.

What? You're saying this Jade Abacus is new? He hasn't even started using a browser yet. And his terminal is strictly controlled by the Herta, so there's absolutely no way his browser history could be leaked. Then it's fine.

Tingyun's scream was even simpler: she hadn't even considered saving the browser—that killer move! No wonder it took Yaoguang so long to add a friend. Yaoguang is truly evil by nature, threatening your benefactor with something like this! I despise you! (Grey Wolf giving the middle finger emoji)
