By Rights, Your Position Gives You No Authority to Question Me
Seeing that Fu Xuan's tone was becoming increasingly displeased, Yaoguang wasn't annoyed. Instead, he said seriously, "Logically speaking, someone in your position has no right to question me."
Fu Xuan heard Yaoguang using his general's authority to intimidate others again, his expression turned even uglier, but his desire for the general's position only intensified.
Seeing Fu Xuan's displeased expression, Yaoguang found him increasingly endearing. With that thought, she gracefully walked up to Fu Xuan, lowered her head, and teased, "However, we're like family, so there's no need to worry about such things. I'm not here because of this distinguished guest, but to handle some matters."
Upon hearing this, Tingyun quickly chimed in, explaining, "Yes, shortly after you left, General Yaoguang arrived here to conduct some diplomatic registration and other such business."
The two quickly distanced themselves from the situation by speaking in unison. Now, the three people in the office each had their own reasons, and at first glance, there seemed to be no problem.
Fu Xuan glanced at the slime in front of him. Though unwilling, he could only suppress his anger and said:
"Hmph, you'd better not have any ideas at all!"
After uttering those harsh words, Fu Xuan turned to the group on the train, his tone softening slightly. "Let's go, there's no point in asking any more questions."
Fu Xuan finished speaking, he ignored the people in the room and turned to walk out.
The people in the room looked at each other, but eventually followed Fu Xuan out.
However, just as Fu Xuan led the group out of the room, he heard Yaoguang and Tingyun's voices coming from inside.
"Junior sister, are you leaving already? Aren't you going to chat with me a little longer?"
"Lord Diviner take care, Your Excellency. I have official duties to attend to and cannot see you off further."
Fu Xuan gritted his teeth, made no reply, and quickly led his group away from the place.
Seeing Fu Xuan walk away, Yaoguang and Tingyun exchanged a smile, their eyes filled with delight.
After the group left the office building, Fu Xuan stopped and said with a stern face, "I still need to return to the Divination Commission to deal with Kafka's matter. What do you all want? Do you intend to come with me or what?"
Welt, who had been silent until now, spoke up, "Now that the wanted criminal has been apprehended, the interrogation will be handled by Master Diviner Fu; it's not appropriate for us to get too involved."
"... In that case, I, the Grand Diviner, will not insist on keeping you any longer. You may come to the Divination Commission tomorrow to share some information."
"Then thank you very much, Diviner."
Fu Xuan gave Bai Luoming one last deep look, then Returnstar Harbor quickly without lingering.
After Fu Xuan left, Xing spoke first, "So what do we do next? How about we go get something to eat first?"
"No, it's getting late. Let's just go back to our room, wash up, and go to sleep." Bai Luoming decisively rejected Xing's suggestion.
He was already exhausted, both physically and mentally, from his battle of wits with Tingyun and Yaoguang, and now all he wanted to do was go back to his room and sleep.
Xing listened to Bai Luoming's words and said with an incredulous expression:
"Not a buddy? It's only afternoon, and you're already planning to go back to your room? Or are you tired of slacking off?"
Bai Luoming waved his hand, offering no further explanation, and said directly, "So what? Playing on your phone all the time is tiring, you know."
What's more, I didn't just play on my phone; I almost got played too. Of course, Bai Luoming only dared to think this to himself.
"See? I told you so! You were definitely slacking off!"
"Look at March 7th, Bai Luoming isn't even acting anymore, and you were just defending her."
Xing pointed at Bai Luoming and loudly defended herself, but at this moment, March 7th was not in a very good mood. She just glanced at Xing and then lowered her head.
Seeing that March 7th didn't respond, Xing turned to Welt beside her and said, "Uncle Yang, look, the two of them are ganging up on me!"
"Alright, Bai Luoming is right. It's getting late, let's go back to the hotel."
Welt looked at Xing, then took out his terminal, checked the time, and spoke. As for Xing's question, he chose not to answer; he left the young man's affairs to the young man to handle.
After saying that, Welt led the group away from the place, and Xing followed Welt.
However, March 7th remained in the same spot. After taking a few steps, Bai Luoming looked at March 7th, who was still standing there, and his heart skipped a beat, thinking that March 7th had noticed something.
Thinking of this, Bai Luoming quickly walked to March 7th 'March 7th side, took her hand, and asked with concern, "What's wrong, March 7th? Are you feeling unwell?"
When March 7th Bai Luoming abruptly took her hand, she seemed to snap out of her daze, turned to look at Bai Luoming, and gave him a bright smile, saying, "It's nothing, I was just thinking about something."
Just then, Xing, standing some distance away, turned to look at the two who remained in place. Sunlight streamed in from behind her, and bathed in the glow of the setting sun, Xing waved and shouted, "How long are you going to dawdle? Hurry up and catch up—!"
After saying that, Xing seemed to have discovered something, and suddenly raised the terminal, as if he was filming something.
Seeing this, March 7th was no longer shy as before. Instead, she grabbed Bai Luoming's hand, pulled him forward, and shouted, "We're here! Wait for us!"
Bai Luoming was pulled back by March 7th's forward movement, but seeing that March 7th was as unchanging as ever, he felt relieved and quickly followed her forward.
Soon, the group arrived at the guesthouse. Throughout the journey, March 7th held Bai Luoming's hand the entire time, even as their palms began to sweat.
Xing was initially surprised, but when she found that no matter how she held up the terminal, March 7th did not react, she found it boring and simply took a picture and put it in the terminal.
After everyone entered the guesthouse, Welt said to them, "Everyone's tired today, so feel free to do whatever you want from now on. There's no need to gather together anymore."
"Great! I'm going out there to Trailblaze my mark! Old Bai, do you want to come with me?"
"... You really haven't changed your ways."
"Hehe, don't you think this is a very sacred thing?"
"Go eat your sacred food in a large portion, I'm going back to my room to sleep!"
"If you don't want to go, then don't go. Why are you saying such nasty things?" Xing muttered a few words, but she didn't take Bai Luoming's words to heart and instead looked at March 7th.
"March 7th, do you want to...?"
"No way! You go by yourself."
After saying that, March 7th followed Bai Luoming's footsteps and quickly walked up the stairs.
Seeing that both of them were heading up the stairs, and even Welt kept some distance from her, Xing felt a surge of incomprehension welling up inside her. She couldn't help but shout towards the stairs:
"Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river! You may look down on trash cans now, but I believe one day you will all be concerned about them!"
