Those also under investigation were Stelle, Tingyun, and several masters from the Craftsmanship Department related to Diting.
Ouyang had already been resting, but when he heard from the phone that March 7th and Stelle had been caught trying to steal someone's stockings with Diting and needed him to pick them up.
Ouyang's first reaction was:
"Are scams this uninspired these days?"
Then he took a look, and good heavens, it was March 7th's call.
After arriving at the Cloud-to-Guard encampment and bringing them back, Ouyang didn't sleep all night, even though March 7th and Stelle had already fallen asleep.
He spent the entire night pondering one question.
"What's going on with March 7th? Why has she been acting strange since arriving on Xianzhou? This isn't like her. Could it be that after Stelle developed a liking for trash cans, March 7th is also going to become strange?"
Jing Yuan Yuan also didn't sleep that night.
"This surprise attack... is it a bit too strange? Although it was a misunderstanding, but..."
"So the Express's Nameless Ones have such peculiar tastes?"
Fortunately, Jing Yuan Yuan was considerate of his subordinates and had already suppressed the news before Fu Xuan returned, so at least it wouldn't reach Fu Xuan's ears tonight.
Otherwise, the number of sleepless people tonight would increase by one.
And on the streets at night, a young Fox Clan girl stood in a corner, watching the farce come to an end, a playful smile on her face.
"Hahaha."
She snuck into the Craftsmanship Department and secretly took out the latest weapon manufactured by the Craftsmanship Department...
a section of it.
It was a spear without a tip, and then she stripped one of the on-duty guards, tied his clothes to it, and went to the restroom.
"These weapons are so boring. I'll show you what a true divine weapon is."
Thinking of a certain invincible weapon from the books she had read, she flashed a wicked grin.
Seeing the weapon take shape, she carried it and rushed to the Cloud-to-Guard encampment.
And the next day's headline.
Shocking! The Craftsmanship Department, in retaliation against the Cloud-to-Guard, actually sent someone to use a "weapon" stained with filth to wreak havoc at the Cloud-to-Guard encampment, causing severe physical and mental trauma to countless Cloud-to-Guard soldiers.
Alchemy Commission: Please, stop giving us more work. The Fox Clan incident was just resolved, and now you're using human feces as a weapon, right? Even if you come for treatment, can you at least wash up before you come?
Chapter 77: I Want to be a Dog of the Ten Lords!
Fu Xuan returned home late at night.
She slowed her steps, hushed all sounds, then took off her clothes and went to the bedside.
Looking at Kiana, who was already fast asleep with a sweet smile still on her face, Fu Xuan felt as if the fatigue from her busy day had vanished.
Just as she was about to pull back the covers to sleep with the cute little one, she noticed something at the head of the bed.
Under the faint moonlight, Fu Xuan went to the head of the bed and saw a cup of Star Taro Bobo, with a note pressed underneath it.
Goodnight.
There were no words of concern, but just a simple "Goodnight" made Fu Xuan feel warm all over.
She carefully took a small sip from the Star Taro Bobo, which had a small opening, and inserted the straw.
She sipped it gently.
"Today's Star Taro Bobo doesn't seem as sweet as before?"
After finishing the Star Taro Bobo, Fu Xuan lifted a corner of the blanket and carefully slipped in.
Then, she gently held the cute little one in her arms, softly whispered "Goodnight," and Fu Xuan also drifted off to sleep.
However, she didn't know if it was her imagination.
She felt as if the little cutie in her arms had grown a bit bigger than yesterday.
In the early morning, as the first rays of sunlight streamed into the room, Kiana groggily emerged from the covers. She glanced at the time; it was already past eight.
Fu Xuan was long gone by then.
After changing her clothes and going to the table, she saw that Fu Xuan had already prepared the meal and placed it on the table.
After eating, it was past nine o'clock, and it was time for the Divination Department to start work. Kiana heard a knock at the door.
As she approached, she saw through the peephole that it was Qing Que.
"Huh? Sister Qing Que, aren't you working today? Why are you here now?"
"The Supreme Diviner from the Divination Department yesterday, she told me to take care of you, so I came to pick you up right after I clocked in."
But Qing Que's words lacked credibility.
Should she explain the rocking chair she was dragging, the fish-shaped pillow she was holding, and the large bag of snacks placed on the rocking chair?
When they arrived at the Divination Department, they found Qing Que had already returned to her spot. She removed the chair from her workstation and replaced it with her own rocking chair.
She pushed the items on her desk to the side and placed the snacks she brought onto the surface.
Finally, she hugged her salted fish pillow and took an eye mask from her pocket.
Seeing Qing Que like this, the other diviners around her seemed accustomed to it.
Although Qing Que was particularly emboldened today because Fu Xuan was away, the usual Qing Que wasn't much different from her current state.
After all, she had been slacking off so severely that there was nothing more to criticize.
Currently, Qing Que was still a diviner belonging to the Divination Department by title.
But in reality, she had already become the "head of the department."
Every day, she either read in the library or guarded the door, occasionally helping others carry things. Only Fu Xuan would occasionally assign her tasks to ensure she met the minimum requirements for a diviner, so she wouldn't actually be demoted to "head of the department."
Kiana had no intention of stopping Qing Que from slacking off.
After all, Kiana thought it might be more reliable to stop Aha from causing trouble than to stop Qing Que from slacking.
Just like yesterday, Fu Xuan's seat was empty, and Kiana sat there.
The others didn't say much. Instead, some people's gazes kept drifting towards Kiana. They even took snacks from their desk drawers and offered them to Kiana.
Looking at the mountain of files and piles of snacks and drinks, Kiana felt like she should be doing something.
With all this food and drink, she was afraid she'd become useless.
As a result...
As soon as she opened the files on Fu Xuan's desk, Kiana felt her head grow heavy, as if she were about to fall asleep.
There were all sorts of strange symbols and data, as well as some text. She recognized every word, but when they were put together, she couldn't understand them.
After giving up on helping Fu Xuan lighten her load, Kiana took out her phone, wanting to see if there was anything interesting happening recently.
She then saw an official account on Xianzhou reporting a vicious incident from last night.
When she opened it, she initially thought it was something March 7th had done last night, but it wasn't...
Shocked$, the Craftsmanship Department, in retaliation against the Cloud-to-Guard, actually sent assassins to use "weapons" stained with filth to wreak havoc in the Cloud-to-Guard's barracks, causing severe physical and mental trauma to countless Cloud-to-Guard soldiers.
Below, several official accounts also left comments.
Alchemy Commission: Please, stop giving us more work. The Fox Clan incident just got resolved, and now you're using human feces as weapons, right? Even if you come for treatment, can you at least wash up before you come?
Craftsmanship Department: This is slander. Yesterday, the Craftsmanship Department's warehouse was invaded, someone destroyed the latest weapons, and stole the guards' clothes. This matter has nothing to do with the Craftsmanship Department.
Cloud-to-Guard: Let...
The content after the Cloud-to-Guard account's message was completely censored with asterisks. This message had only appeared for a short time before it disappeared. Refreshing the page showed a statement from Jing Yuan Yuan.
General: I am aware of this matter. Please, all departments, do not engage in conflict over this. Be wary of villains using this opportunity to create chaos.
Other departments also responded sequentially.
Only the Ten Lords Bureau, which was independent of the six departments, posted an emoji below.
Ten Lords Bureau: Confused.jpg
And some people, seeing the cute emoji from the Ten Lords Bureau and its out-of-place comment compared to the other six departments, all commented below, going wild.
"So cute, I want to..."
"I am XXX's dog."
They seemed to have forgotten that the judges of the Ten Lords Bureau had a saying: "Better to lose gold and jade than enter the underworld; better to suffer disaster than see the judge."
But for some reason, looking at the wanted poster in the photo, looking at the blurry figure...
Kiana couldn't help but think of a familiar figure.
Could such a joyful event mean Aha has arrived?
Kiana looked up and found that only a few people were secretly glancing at her. When she looked up, they quickly averted their gaze and continued to focus on their work.
Qing Que had already put on her eye mask and fallen asleep, hugging her salted fish pillow.
The attention of the others was not on her.
Taking advantage of this time, Kiana secretly slipped away, found a secluded corner, and quietly shouted.
"Aha is so cool."
At this moment, a Fox Clan girl, who was evading pursuit, seemed to sense something. She flashed into the shadow of a building and closed her eyes.
Kiana also closed her eyes. When she opened them again, the familiar scene and voice followed.
Chapter 78: I'll Screw Over the Divination Department Starting Today!
No one knew what happened in that brief moment.
What Kiana and Aha talked about.
However, it wasn't long before the news of the Craftsmanship Department's surprise night attack on the Cloud-to-Guard with weapons of mass destruction was quickly suppressed.
At the same time, Kiana, who had returned after the incident, seemed like a completely different person.
Even quite a few of the Diviners who were secretly slacking off and occasionally glancing at Kiana seemed to sense a certain aura from her, an aura they felt from their own Supreme Diviner.
It was the kind of aura that could crush the competition among other workers.
Seeing Kiana take out a pen and a pile of documents from Fu Xuan's desk, they were about to stop her.
But the next moment, when they saw Kiana pull out a stack of brand-new white paper and write something on it, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Someone took the opportunity to bring Kiana a snack, approaching her from behind.
They had initially thought Kiana was practicing calligraphy or copying something.
But they never expected that the content on the white paper was actually helping Fu Xuan process official documents, and many of the solutions were incredibly concise and clear.
Even they, who had been Diviners for who knows how long, felt ashamed of their own inadequacy.
After the first person left, she told her colleagues about it.
Then the news spread like wildfire, and every Diviner in the Divination Department learned about it.
Many didn't believe it at first. But when they brought snacks to feed Kiana, they casually glanced at the white paper in her hands.
They fell silent...
And from that day on, except for their lunch break, all the Diviners in the Divination Department worked with exceptional efficiency.
Even the Cloud-to-Guard soldiers responsible for security here straightened up a bit.
When Qing Que woke up from a nap, she saw the Diviners around her burying their heads in their work.
She started to wonder if she was dreaming.
Otherwise, why would everyone suddenly be working so hard after she just took a nap?
Wasn't the Supreme Diviner away?
Normally, you all just barely met the Diviner performance reviews and often slacked off. Why are you all working so hard today when the Supreme Diviner isn't here?
But when she asked a like-minded colleague, the colleague, who had been discussing slacking tips with her, didn't speak. They simply pointed at Kiana and then continued to bury their heads in their work.
