Jingxing: Oh My God, There's a Xianzhou Native Even Shorter Than Yunli

"But this person's confession... "contradicts what we saw at the scene." The captain carefully chose his words, "... it's all different."

"Is there a discrepancy?" Fu Xuan took three steps in front of Jingxing, stopped, and bent down to examine him closely.

Her gaze fell on the Jade Knot, then she closed her eyes, flipped her small hand, took out a few copper coins, and tossed them lightly.

The coins fell to the table with a soft, crisp sound. Fu Xuan stared at the coins for a while, and suddenly a faint light shone from the gemstone on his forehead.

She straightened up, turned to Mingke Guards, and announced calmly, "He didn't lie, so you all go out now. I'll take care of things here."

The captain was taken aback. "Lord Diviner, this matter involves the general—"

"I am General Rongtao sister, and also the person the Xianzhou cares about most," Fu Xuan interrupted him. "I will report the divination results to Lord Kun'gang in full. But at this moment, it is I who will speak with this Outworlders."

"Yes, Lord Diviner!" The Mingke Guards sheathed their swords, bowed their heads, and withdrew from the area.

Jingxing breathed a sigh of relief, leaned back in his chair, and smiled faintly, "Lord Diviner, your timing is perfect. Any later, and your Xianzhou would have turned your savior into a suspect."

Fu Xuan raised an eyebrow. The name before her reminded her of the man in the Seat of Divine Foresight, and she didn't intend to be polite. "I think it's not wrong for the Mingke Guards to be cautious. After all, General Rongtao already told me her divination results when she summoned me to the Yuque. I think she must have told you as well, right?"

"Yes." Jingxing nodded. "General Yaoguang told me that she calculated that if she didn't personally descend upon Priva II, Yuque would encounter a huge problem."

He paused, then pointed to himself. "I was wondering what the trouble was until now, but judging from their attitude, the real trouble might be me?"

After a few moments of eye contact, Fu Xuan's tone carried a different meaning. "Then please tell me, Mr. Jingxing, where is Senior Sister Yaoguang now?"

Jingxing Xing shrugged with a wry smile, then pushed Heavenly Wisdom Jade Knot forward. "We discovered that the Borisin were trying to worship the branch of Qiong Sang, but that branch had blocked their connection with the outside world. In order to prevent the Borisin, General Yaoguang ordered me to do everything in my power to eliminate them. But this also means that she will be corrupted by my energy as well."

"In the end, to allow me to proceed without restraint, General Yaoguang Heavenly Wisdom Jade Knot, relinquished his self-monitoring, and used his condition known as 'Synchronic Displacement' to disappear from the current point in time."

She gave me this Jade Knot, hoping I could find it.

"Although our lineage's combat capabilities are indeed..." Fu Xuan thought to himself, "But Senior Sister believes that this person, even at full strength, could erase part of the divine miracles of the Plagues Author. Could this little fellow be Jing Yuan's..."

Fu Xuan's eyes lit up. If he could find something wrong with Jing Yuan, wouldn't that mean he'd be able to get the general's position he'd been longing for?

But she quickly came to her senses and realized that this was just wishful thinking to tease Jing Yuan. After all, Jing Yuan had been a bachelor for hundreds of years, and this Outworlders with the same surname had no trace of the Xianzhou's bloodline.

Seeing Fu Xuan's expression shift between joy and sorrow, Jingxing decided to continue the conversation, "Although I only met General Yaoguang once, a gentleman keeps his word. She risked getting lost in the timeline so that I could do my best to eliminate the branches of Qiong Sang. I feel it is my duty to find her."

Fu Xuan stopped moving. After a long while, she spoke, her voice lower than before. "On behalf of my Senior Sister, I thank Mr. Jingxing."

"No need to thank me." Jingxing spread his hands. "More than verbal thanks, I hope you can give me a free and comfortable living environment."

"Yes, we will," Fu Xuan nodded, "But please, Mr. Jingxing, return with us to the Jade Abacus Xianzhou."

"No problem," Jingxing agreed. After all, it's all the same—it's a field trip, isn't it?

Just as he finished speaking, the lights in the cabin flickered.

For a moment, the entire ship seemed to hold its breath. Then, hurried footsteps came from the other end of the corridor, and a Cloud Knights burst in, the Jade Abacus in his hand pulsating with warning. "Lord Diviner, there's a problem on the planet below!"

Fu Xuan grabbed Jade Abacus, his expression changing drastically. Jingxing also propped himself up from his chair and followed their gaze to the window.

Priva II, whose surface is already covered with white ripples, is collapsing.

The first thing to collapse was the layer of cyan-gold talismanic light—the last layer of "Constraint" left by the Yaoguang. After losing its master's control, it crumbled piece by piece like a breached dam.

Then the white tide washed over the camp, over the forest, over the mountains to the north; it even wiped out the atmosphere.

The entire fleet switched their alarms to red and kept increasing their distance, fearing that they too would be wiped out by these ripples.

Soon, after the fleet left the atmosphere, Priva II first turned pure white, and then, as if gently blown by the wind, it scattered directly into dust.

"You just said that you did your best to eradicate the branches of Qiong Sang...?" Fu Xuan turned to look at Jingxing. "Very good, the disappearance of Priva II can serve as evidence for your statement. In this way, some annoying guys will probably stop making unnecessary trouble."

Fu Xuan walked a little further away and took out a Jade Abacus for communication from her sleeve. A few steps away, Jingxing could hear her talking to the other side intermittently—first the words "Luofu" and "Divine General," and finally a relayed sentence.

She returned, her expression regaining the composure befitting Diviner: "I have obtained the Marshal's support through Divine General's channels. I will now take charge of the matter concerning General Rongtao's disappearance."

Jingxing propped himself up on the table and stood up.

"Alright," he said, "Let's cooperate sincerely and bring Yaoguang back from this unknown point in time."

Fu Xuan sized up Jingxing again, then extended his hand with a sincere smile, "Alright, let's cooperate sincerely, and I'm sure we can overcome any obstacle."

After establishing the partnership, Jingxing successfully retrieved his phone. After turning it on, he first complained to Robin about his ordeal, and then scanned Yunli's name.

"Yunli, you're really lacking in class." Jingxing's lips twitched as he recalled Mingke Guards's earlier doubts, and he simply recounted what had just happened.

[Yunli: Jing Jingxing, are you alright? Should I contact my friends at Yuque to help you out?]

[Jingxing: It's alright, Luofu the fortune Diviner, I've been cleared of suspicion.]

[Yunli: That's good. Although that Lord Diviner of Luofu isn't tall, his abilities are as vast as the heavens.]

Jingxing thought about it carefully and couldn't help but complain, "It really is true. This is the first time I've seen Xianzhou from a celestial vessel who can make Yunli complain about his height."

Considering Fu Xuan's figure, Jingxing had good reason to guess that all her nutrition was used to nourish the gem on her forehead.

"After all, the Path Energy from that thing are simply blinding."
