Qingque: Chaaaarge!

As Jing Yuan's gentle voice faded, Qingque, clutching the stack of documents taller than herself, stiffened slightly.

It's over.

Her heart sank. Being called out by her boss so close to the end of the workday was clearly not going to be good. It felt like winning at mahjong only to have the last tile stolen by the player before her, who then discarded a winning tile that allowed the other player to win big.

At this moment, Qingque felt as if the shadow of overworking had descended upon her.

"Perfect timing, put these down." Jing Yuan's voice continued, as if issuing an ultimatum to her overtime work. "Also, escort these distinguished guests to the private hotel in Luofu."

Hearing this, Qingque began to curse inwardly.

By the way? Is this what you call by the way? From Seat of Divine Foresight to the Guest House, it would take at least half a system time to go back and forth. By the time she got off work and went home, it would be very late.

Thinking of this, Qingque couldn't help but sigh softly. It seemed that Imperial Heng Jade had already left her tonight. Goodbye, dear Imperial Heng Jade, Wadasi will miss you...

But she dared not say these words aloud, and had to maintain the respect due to a subordinate. After all, it wasn't just Jing Yuan, the supreme commander of the Seat of Divine Foresight, who was present; her own superior was also watching.

Thinking of this, Qingque sighed resignedly and prepared to take on this arduous task.

When she glanced at the so-called "distinguished guest" from behind the mountain of documents, she felt as if she had been struck by an invisible thunderbolt, and froze on the spot.

Among the crowd, Bai Luoming's figure clearly came into her view.

Looking at that familiar face, Qingque felt as if the days she played cards with Bai Luoming were still vivid in her mind.

Although Bai Luoming probably doesn't remember her, isn't it interesting to train Bai Luoming to play cards together again?

General! You are truly a great friend! I, Qingque, will remember this assist! One day, I will repay you!

Then Qingque slammed the stack of documents she was holding onto the table next to her with a "thud," her movements swift and decisive, without the slightest hesitation.

Immediately afterwards, she straightened her back abruptly, her previous lazy posture vanishing without a trace, replaced by an unprecedented fighting spirit.

"Rest assured, General!" Her voice was clear and resonant, full of energy, even tinged with barely suppressed excitement. "I will ensure that our distinguished guests are safely and securely delivered to their destination!"

Jing Yuan felt a little guilty after hearing her resigned sigh, and was wondering whether he should discuss with Fu Xuan about granting the child half a day off as compensation.

Upon hearing the voice, which sounded like the oath of the Cloud Knights before battle, he was completely stunned.

He glanced at Qingque suspiciously. This girl... is she alright today? Or... has she suddenly become sensible and knows how to share the burden for her boss?

Jing Yuan didn't think much of it and simply nodded, "Okay, go ahead."

However, Fu Xuan, who was standing to the side, instinctively felt that something was wrong with Qingque at this moment.

She knows her subordinate all too well.

Normally, Qingque's life motto is "Leave work at six o'clock; staying even a second longer is disrespectful to life." Getting her to work overtime is harder than asking her to single-handedly Abominations of Abundance. So why is she looking so happy now?

Clearly, Qingque's happy appearance was not normal.

At this moment, alarm bells rang in Fu Xuan's mind. She keenly sensed that there must be some variables she was unaware of.

But what exactly was the problem? She couldn't figure it out for the time being.

They could only watch helplessly as Qingque, with a bright smile on her face, led the group from the Astral Express out of the hall.

Inside the main hall of the Seat of Divine Foresight, things finally quieted down after everyone left.

Jing Yuan looked at the much emptier hall and breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright, our distinguished guest is settled in, it's time for us to go home." He picked up his slightly cold teacup, took a sip, and resumed his relaxed, businesslike demeanor. "We can discuss anything else tomorrow."

I finally managed to complete the task assigned by my master. Although the process was a bit bumpy, the result was good.

"Is this the usual style of the dignified General of Luofu Divine General?"

Yaoguang's ambiguous laughter broke Jing Yuan's pleasant mood.

Jing Yuan didn't even lift his eyelids, calmly replying, "I've already become a general. If I still have to work overtime every day, then what's the point of being a general?"

Yaoguang chuckled lightly, but did not refute Jing Yuan's words.

"That's true. After all, General Jing Yuan is getting old. If he's too overworked, he's prone to being possessed by Mara-Struck prematurely." She took two steps forward, stopped in front of Jing Yuan, and added, "If he's a little less busy on weekdays, he can dedicate a few more years to the people of Luofu."

Upon hearing this, Jing Yuan's face darkened, and he almost dropped the teacup he was holding.

"Yukong, take General Yaoguang to register." He didn't want to waste any more words with Yaoguang, so he directly ordered Yukong was standing beside him, "Also, arrange accommodation for her."

After saying that, he got up and walked straight towards his residence.

Yaoguang watched Jing Yuan's retreating figure, shook his head dismissively, then turned to Yukong, his face once again displaying that friendly smile.

"Then I'll have to trouble you Helmsman."

Her eyes flickered, and as if casually mentioning it, she asked, "Speaking of which, am I staying at the same hotel as those distinguished guests on the train?"

Yaoguang's words were like a bomb, instantly waking Fu Xuan was still deep in thought.

Fu Xuan was still pondering Qingque's unusual behavior, and also checking his plan for any flaws.

However, Yaoguang's words interrupted her thoughts. Others might not be able to see what Yaoguang was thinking, but Fu Xuan Yaoguang's junior sister, knew it perfectly well.

If Yaoguang and Bai Luoming were to stay at the same hotel, her plan would be doomed to failure.

This absolutely must not be allowed to happen!

"No need to arrange accommodations for her! She will stay with me!"

Fu Xuan spoke first, almost reflexively, his voice urgent.

Hearing Fu Xuan's words, Yaoguang was stunned for a moment, then the smile on his lips deepened.

She looked at Fu Xuan's defensive posture, like a prickly kitten, and suddenly found it amusing.

The next second, she stepped forward and, before Fu Xuan could react, scooped her up in her arms.

"Ah."

Fu Xuan froze, only then realizing how impulsive and blatant his reaction had been.

A wave of heat rose from her neck to her ears. She turned her face away, but her tone remained defiant. "I... I just don't want you causing trouble outside!"

"Oh?"

Yaoguang held his seemingly insincere junior sister in his arms, his eyes full of smiles.

She leaned close to Fu Xuan's ear and whispered in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Oh my, Junior Sister has really grown up after being in Luofu for so long. You even know how to take the initiative to be considerate of Senior Sister."
