Another Path power surged forth, forming a stagnant field around her.

The bullets, hurtling through the air, were slowed down countless times, allowing the pink-haired girl to manipulate them with her fingertips.

"Your every move has already been predicted by the Dharma Eye."

As she landed on the already riddled support platform of the Starfall Harbor, the bullets finally returned to normal, crisscrossing and shooting through space.

However, none of them hit the target.

Even the bullet that, according to its predetermined trajectory, should have struck the girl's hairpin at an angle, collided with another bullet whose trajectory she had altered, thus deviating from its course.

With flowing robes, she appears as a fairy descending to earth.

Time's up.

Kafka decisively released the submachine gun, letting it fall to the ground, and remained with her hands raised, surrendering without hesitation.

Seeing this, Hoshi, who was about to take out his Baseball Bat again and fight Kafka with one hand [Destruction] and the other [Preservation], stopped in his tracks, and March 7th also stopped nodding his bow and arrow.

The lazy bum racked his brains, convinced that once the matter was resolved, he should try his best to minimize his presence, otherwise, if the Grand Diviner got used to using him, wouldn't he have even more to do in the future?

Therefore, Qingque silently stepped back and shielded the Express crew in front of her.

"Fellow members of the Express crew, it is a pleasure to meet you. I am Fu Xuan, one of the Six Emperors of the Xianzhou, the Divination Commission Fu Xuan of the Grand Divination Bureau."

Some things about Xianzhou Luofu are quite interesting.

General Jing Yuan was tall and approachable, extremely friendly, and easy to get along with when he was drinking tea and chatting with the Nightless Lord.

This Divination Commission, Fu Xuan, was small in stature, yet he insisted on projecting an imposing image and lowering his melodious, oriole-like voice.

Hua Yi tried his best to control his expression so as not to displease the girl World's Cutest.

"Planning before acting, defeating the Stellaron Hunter Kafka as soon as you appeared, Grand Diviner is indeed amazing."

"... Originally, I should have offered you wine to welcome you, but the three elements of Heaven, Earth, and Man are not in their proper positions, so we cannot postpone it for a few more hours."

Using the Xianzhou's shackles to restrain Kafka's hands, Fu Xuan stared intently at Hua Yi, scrutinizing him.

He is detached from the divine eye of divination; he is too strange.

The commotion was actually caused by Fu Xuan arriving earlier, but seeing that the battle was stable and Hua Yi was firmly suppressing Kafka, he did not rush to make a move and observed carefully for a while.

All related divination methods became obscure and difficult to understand, leaving only repeated "great fortune" results...

That's right, whether Grand Void Observatory or using the Dharma Eye, it's all very auspicious.

This person's body is covered in auspicious symbols, how strange!

On March 7th, finding Fu Xuan strange, he bumped into Xing's arm nearby.

"Did you understand what she just said?"

"No."

Xing had long since given up on thinking; as long as Hua Yi was there, she could just follow his orders.

Now March 7th understood, and like her best friend, she cleared her mind and just watched the show.

"Ahem! If you have any objections to my way of speaking, feel free to speak up."

"She said the diviner had profound insights."

Hua Yi sheathed the Godfall Sword and calmly met Fu Xuan's gaze.

"I wonder how Xianzhou Luofu plans to treat Kafka?"

"Naturally, I will personally conduct the interrogation."

"!"

March 7th and Xing, who were watching the commotion, had a slight glint in their eyes, and something had begun to stir in their otherwise empty minds.

Interrogation?

They understand this; similar plots appear in Fan Group novels, like a spirited new clerk misunderstanding a naive young girl and locking her in his office for a one-on-one interrogation, or a wicked heroine encountering a seriously injured hero, harboring ulterior motives, and deliberately pretending not to know his identity—

In any case, it's all about using this to develop the romantic relationship with Hua Yi.

If you replace the Herta Space Station in a romance novel with the Luofu Xianzhou, wouldn't the story become a reality?

The problem is the casting; there are only two female leads, and the male lead hasn't even appeared yet. 4.0

The scene of Fu Xuan, petite and adorable, yet exuding an air of authority in his expression and tone, claiming he was going to interrogate the mature older sister Kafka, was somewhat strange.

Hua Yi is more like it!

It would be quite suitable for him to lock Fu Xuan or Kafka in a small dark room.

Fortunately, Fu Xuan's mystic eye only had the ability to predict the future and could not see into people's thoughts, so he was still able to speak in a serious and earnest tone.

"I intend to bring the Stellaron Hunter back to Divination Commission, and I have my own methods to make her tell the truth. Of course, since there is no concrete evidence that Kafka caused any trouble, I will not make things difficult for her. You can all be my witnesses— Qingque! Where are you going?"

"Ah? Haha... I just thought I'd finished my business, and Grand Diviner already had a plan, I decided to leave to avoid overhearing any secrets."

Chapter 321 He Understands Me! But He's Not So Honest

"The matter is not yet finished. Come with me back to the Divination Commission."

Upon hearing this, Qingque was struck dumb.

Despite her short stature, Miss Bu Zhe managed to protect herself even amidst the devastating aftermath of the previous battle that severely damaged Starfall Harbor. Yet, she is now teetering on the brink of collapse under the weight of Tai Bu's words.

Lord Fu Xuan is too powerful. He used his true words to damage the girl even through Hua Yi, who was being protected by Qingque. The effect was outstanding.

Kafka was the one who was captured, but someone else looked dejected.

Qingque collapsed to the ground, almost powerless, and looked at him with pleading eyes. Hua Yi nodded at her without saying a word, then shook his head slightly.

I promised to speak up for you and apply for leave, and I haven't forgotten.

But, young lady, now is not the time to be lazy; the matter is not yet finished.

The art of slacking off is about adaptability. Since your boss is already watching you, trying to find ways to slack off will only provoke their rebellious attitude.

You still have to figure it out yourself, Qingque.

Simple nodding and shaking of the head could not convey so many heartfelt words, but Qingque read sincerity and goodwill in Hua 09 Yi's eyes.

All right.

She accepted reality and took on the role of guide again, leading everyone toward Divination Commission.

Fu Xuan knew the way, of course, but she didn't care. She made hand seals and deduced the way, and her spiritual eyes shone brightly. She devoted a lot of her attention to divination of Hua Yi.

Great fortune, great fortune, and great fortune again!

Although the divination results may differ depending on the specific event being divined, the final outcome is always the same.

To verify the calculation process and confirm that he had not lost his divination ability, Fu Xuan stopped his incantation and focused his gaze on Hua Yi.

" Cloud-Chasing Heavenly Lord's Rainbow Car has traversed the planetary seas, and the Xianzhou Alliance has always held it in high esteem. I wonder how the members of the Express crew will deal with the Stellaron Hunter after I have interrogated him and determined his good and evil?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the Grand Diviner realized that his wording might be a bit obscure and difficult to understand.

She is very knowledgeable and well-read, so she inevitably has a habit of quoting classical texts when she speaks.

Normally, when she works at the Divination Commission), the diviners under her command naturally dare not offer any opinions. However, if she leaves a message on websites like Luofu Miscellany), she will always be criticized and asked to "speak like a human being."

Seriously.

With a sigh, Fu Xuan was trying to make his words as easy to understand as possible when Hua Yi spoke.

"If Kafka is guilty, we believe that Xianzhou Luofu will give her a fair trial, and if she is innocent— the Stellaron Hunter don't have a good reputation in the universe, and the company has even issued a warrant for her arrest, so Grand Diviner can keep an eye on her."

He understands.

Not only can they understand, but they can also put themselves in Xianzhou Luofu's shoes and think about things from Luofu's perspective, even considering the impact on the company's diplomatic relations!

Fu Xuan paused, then suddenly glared at Qingque.

Look at them, they're clearly guests, yet they're willing to think of the Divination Commission and the Luofu Xianzhou. And you? As a member of the Bureau, all you do is slack off all day.

"I have often heard of the Nameless Cosmic exploration, who adheres to his principles, and today I see that it is indeed true."

If Kafka is innocent, how long will Divination Commission keep an eye on her?

Hua Yi didn't say anything, Fu Xuan didn't ask.

She understood what the other person meant.

If the Luofu Xianzhou is destined to experience a crisis and turmoil, having Kafka under his personal supervision will clear him of suspicion.

As for what comes after that—

The Xianzhou Alliance and the Interastral Peace Corporation have exchanges and cooperation, but they have not reached the level of close partners and allies. It is impossible for them to hand over the Stellaron Hunter to the other party just because the company is wanted, nor is it possible to restrict Kafka's freedom indefinitely when she is innocent.

Of course, the goal is to find an opportunity for her to "escape" from the Divination Commission.

During Hua Yi's previous battle with Kafka, Fu Xuan was unable to obtain the necessary information through observation and divination, but he did see that Hua Yi had no real hostility or even murderous intent towards the Stellaron Hunter.

The connection between these things is not important; what matters is what the Stellaron Hunter did and the Astral Express's stance.

In addition, not all Nameless are like Hua Yi.

Fu Xuan glanced at Xing, who was furtively gesturing about his height with a curious expression, as if to say, "The diviners in Xianzhou Luofu are so short!" Fu Xuan's lips twitched, and he was inclined to give him a lecture.

But seeing how clueless the other person looked, I decided against it.

The Express crew captured Kafka, which meant that Xianzhou Luofu owed her a favor and couldn't easily blame her.

"By the way, can Diviner Fu predict anything?"

Hua Yi thought of something.

"It feels pretty unfair."

" The Divination Commission has an unwritten rule called the Three No-Divination Rules. The rule of not divination for unjust reasons alone prevents the divination of lottery numbers, market fluctuations, and the like."

"Even the Aeon Mysteries can't be used for divination, right?"

"That's natural."

"Can the Emissary predict things? For example, the location of the Lord of Ruin. The Antimatter Legion is wreaking havoc in the universe, and the leader, the Emissary of Destruction, is even more powerful. I'm quite worried that the Herta Space Station has been targeted by the Emissary."

The second half is an excuse.

Hua Yi was merely verifying whether anyone could indirectly determine Phantylia's whereabouts after he used the Imaginary Torrent to sweep across the border battlefield.

" The Xianzhou Alliance has fought several wars with the Abundance fiend. The Divination Commission can predict good and bad fortune, but cannot know all the details." 717 sensed that this Nameless might have an overly optimistic impression of divination. Fu Xuan continued to have Qingque lead the way while patiently explaining, which was his way of expressing friendliness.

"Everyone calls me [with perfect insight], but I don't see it that way. How can divination be accurate every time? I am a diviner, not a prophet who proclaims divine pronouncements."

" Diviner Fu is not only exceptionally capable, but also so humble. Impressive."

Hua Yi gave a thumbs up.

Why is it a thumbs-up?

If you truly want the new students to show respect, even if you don't follow the Xianzhou culture of clasping your hands in a salute, you should at least show some respect on your face. What's with the smile on your face? Do you think I'm a child?

Fu Xuan sensed that this guy wasn't exactly honest either.

" The Xianzhou people are Long-Life Species. You may not know the years I have lived."

"Oh, even more powerful now."

"Tsk... The Xianzhou Alliance will not torture suspects or interrogate them to extract the truth. The words obtained in that way are hard to distinguish between true and false. But the Divination Commission has its own powerful tools that can reveal Kafka's thoughts."

He decisively changed the subject, returning to the matter of the Stellaron Hunter. Recalling the error in the Grand Void Observatory yesterday, even though he had arranged for Qingque to stay up all night to check it, Fu Xuan was still worried.

"I will make preparations in advance, and you will know when the time comes."

Chapter 322 The Divination Commission, Grand Void Observatory

Originally, the Stellaron Hunter' purpose was unclear, and capturing Kafka was a priority over checking the Grand Void Observatory.

Since Hua Yi demonstrated the ability to steadily suppress the opponent's martial prowess, and the implication in his words was quite clear, the troubles in Xianzhou Luofu did not originate from Kafka, Fu Xuan decided to believe him for the time being.

It wasn't a choice based on first impressions or emotions; the divination indicates that everything related to Hua Yi will ultimately turn out very well.
