Kiana charmed the Divination Department and helped Qing Que earn an afternoon leave slip, then joined her for mahjong and stayed at her home. Qing Que began to suspect that Fu Xuan’s unusual kindness toward Kiana revealed an incredible secret.
- Kiana accompanied Qing Que to the Divination Department, where she won over the officials while waiting for Fu Xuan to return.
- Fu Xuan rewarded Qing Que with Xundi and an afternoon leave slip, then entrusted Kiana to her care while Fu Xuan handled business over the next few days.
- Kiana joined Qing Que and two friends for mahjong, winning most of the rounds before Qing Que finally claimed a quad-draw win.
- Qing Que took Kiana home rather than leave her to travel alone, and Kiana noticed that Fu Xuan had messaged to make sure she stayed safe and ate.
- After waking from a short nap, Qing Que wondered whether Fu Xuan had broken down or whether Kiana was the reason for her unusual kindness.
