Did You Stay Behind Just to Slack Off?
At this moment, Fu Xuan saw that the people in the duty room were in different states. Tingyun was sitting at the main desk, carefully reviewing the documents.
Bai Luoming was sitting on one leg of the duty room near the window, holding the Jade Abacus and doing something, occasionally glancing at Jade Abacus and chuckling.
"What are you all doing here... Huh? Senior sister? What are you doing here?"
Fu Xuan looked at Tingyun and Bai Luoming in the office, and was about to ask them about their situation when the sound of a phone call coming from the other side of the Fu Xuan room interrupted her thoughts. She looked closely and saw that Yao Guang was holding Yaoguang Jade Abacus and seemed to be on the phone with someone.
"Oh, it's my junior sister. Wait a moment, report back to me later." Yaoguang hung up the phone after saying that, turned to look at Fu Xuan and smiled:
"Junior sister, what brings you here?"
"Ha, don't you know why I'm here? By the way, were you on the phone just now?"
"Who else could it be? They're just listening to the report from the Jade Abacus Xianzhou. Junior Sister, you don't know, being a general is very tiring. Not only do you have to handle numerous affairs every day, but you also have to manage all sorts of matters, big and small, on the Xianzhou."
Yaoguang explained Fu Xuan's question, then seemed to have thought of something and continued to Fu Xuan, "Junior Sister's job as a diviner is quite comfortable; she can take people out for a stroll while she's on duty."
"Heh, I don't see any sign of fatigue on your face. Besides, if you're complaining about being tired, why not replace you with someone more capable?" Fu Xuan looked at Yaoguang expressionlessly, his voice icy. This guy was clearly explaining, but why did his words sound like he was showing off?
"Oh dear, this general's position was chosen by Reignbow, I have no right to change it so easily."
"You!"
"Master Diviner Fu, and General Yaoguang, this is not a teahouse for you to chat in."
Just as Fu Xuan was at the height of his anger and about to retort to Yaoguang, Tingyun, seemingly unable to bear the atmosphere in the room any longer, put down his pen, looked up at the two of them, and said...
"Heh, speaking of which, I almost forgot about you. Tell me, why did you detain Bai Luoming? You know, these Nameless were all people the General specifically ordered to arrest Kafka. Are you questioning the General?"
Fu Xuan looked at Tingyun and, without thinking much, immediately slapped a huge accusation on Tingyun's head.
"Oh dear, the diviner's words are as sharp as ever. But, Master Diviner Fu, how come you didn't know this distinguished guest was unwilling? I think this distinguished guest is quite happy about it."
Tingyun naturally wouldn't accept the accusation Fu Xuan leveled against her, and instead steered the conversation toward Bai Luoming, who was watching the show from the sidelines.
In their plan, Bai Luoming is a crucial element at this moment. If used properly, they could almost get away with today's events, though it might cause Bai Luoming a little bit of trouble.
After that, everyone stopped dwelling on the banter between the group and turned their attention to Bai Luoming.
Bai Luoming didn't seem to mind that everyone's attention was on him. He put away his terminal and stood up gracefully.
Before he could even utter the plan they had agreed upon, March 7th squeezed through the door, rushed to Bai Luoming's side, and began to thoroughly examine his body, saying with concern:
"Luo Ming, are you alright? Did they do anything to you while you were here?"
Actually, March 7th had wanted to come in earlier, but Fu Xuan blocked the doorway, and even Xing, wanting to watch the drama unfold, stood next to Fu Xuan and blocked the doorway, making it impossible to push him away.
Just now, March 7th finally managed to squeeze into the room.
Bai Luoming felt a warmth in her heart as she listened to March 7th's caring tone. It was March 7th who truly cared for her, unlike the other two who were only after his body.
Watching the intimate interaction between March 7th and Bai Luoming, Tingyun sighed softly. It would be a lie to say she wasn't envious.
But in the end, March 7th is the official wife, and this is something that can't be envied or sought after, unless Bai Luoming suddenly changes his mind and wants to be a scumbag.
"It's alright, Miss Tingyun didn't do anything to me. I've been waiting for you here."
Bai Luoming gently slapped March 7th's hand away, raised his hand and patted March 7th's head as he spoke.
After saying that, Bai Luoming ignored March 7th's reaction and hurriedly walked towards Xing and Welt, who were still at the door, and greeted them.
It wasn't that Bai Luoming didn't want to stay by March 7th's side. At this moment, he still had the scent of Tingyun and Yaoguang on him. Even after emergency treatment, he was still worried that March 7th would discover something.
Xing sized up Bai Luoming as he approached, a glint of light flashing in his eyes. His extraordinary wisdom seemed to activate once more, and he uttered a startling remark. "Hey Old Bai, you're not just staying here because you want to slack off, are you?"
"What are you saying? How could Luo Ming be such a person?" Upon hearing this, March 7th walked to Xing's side and lightly tapped Xing's head.
Xing was hit hard by March 7th and quickly took a few steps back, covering her head and saying aggrievedly to March 7th.
"Oh dear, given your relationship in March 7th, you definitely wouldn't think that way! Look, we're out there catching Kafka, while Old Bai is here leisurely playing with Jade Abacus, isn't that just slacking off?"
When Bai Luoming saw Xing being tapped on the forehead by March 7th, he quickly stepped forward and grabbed March 7th's hand to stop her from causing Xing further harm.
In his eyes, Xing was now a great contributor. You see, in the plan that Tingyun and Yaoguang finalized, if Xing hadn't said those words, it would have been his turn to say them. Now that Xing had said them, it was undoubtedly a great protection for his reputation.
Thinking of this, Bai Luoming took March 7th's hand and comforted her, saying, "Oh dear, why are you arguing with Xing? Let me see if your hand hurts."
After saying that, Bai Luoming took March 7th's hand and gently blew on it.
Looking at the two interacting intimately in front of her, and recalling how March 7th had just tapped her on the head, Xing felt a surge of anger. She pointed at March 7th and Bai Luoming and shouted, "You two..."
Before she could finish speaking, Fu Xuan interrupted her, glancing subtly at their clasped hands, and said unhappily, "Don't interrupt, I still have something to ask!"
After saying this, Fu Xuan ignored Xing's reaction and glanced at Yaoguang, who was watching the show from the side, and Tingyun, who was pretending to be handling official business but had been secretly watching the scene.
Based on what the others had said, she already had a general idea of what was going on, but there were still one things she didn't understand: Was Tingyun really someone who could resist eating meat when it was right in front of her? And why was Yaoguang here?
Having considered this, Fu Xuan stopped thinking about it and asked the two directly, "I understand the matter more or less, but I have one more question."
"Please speak, Diviner." Upon hearing this, Tingyun put down her pen and looked at Tingyun with a smile.
"Hmph, tell me why you detained them."
"Oh dear, I thought it was something serious, but it's nothing."
Tingyun breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this. She was genuinely afraid that Fu Xuan would ask some shocking question, but she had a backup plan for this one.
"Your Lord Diviner, is there something you don't know? I'm just filling in temporarily and don't have the authority. Besides, leaving someone behind makes it easier to hold people accountable later."
"Ha, if that's the case, then why did you choose to keep him?"
Faced with Fu Xuan's continued provocation, Tingyun smiled slightly and easily answered the question.
"Oh, really? I remember this distinguished guest stayed on his own initiative."
"See? I told you Old Bai was just trying to slack off!"
"Oh dear, don't talk nonsense!"
Looking at Fu Xuan Tingyun knew that this vixen wouldn't get any answers from asking any more questions. Thinking this, she turned to Yaoguang, who was watching the show, and said:
"Could you explain why you're in this duty room, senior sister?"
"Junior sister still doubts me, huh? That really disheartens me." Yaoguang patted her ample chest and said dejectedly when Fu Xuan turned the topic to her.
Please address my question directly, don't try to change the subject!
