Not to mention that the Xianzhou is a force that has been fighting against the Denizens of Abundance for many years, and is inherently militaristic and extremely fierce.

The title of Emanator is something that ordinary forces need to take seriously, but the Xianzhou won't indulge you just because you're Emanator.

Moreover, Lin Shuang wasn't even the Emanator; she was merely borrowing Acheron's prestige.

The fact that Lin Shuang gained the favor of the Grand Diviner and received preferential treatment from the Xianzhou in such a short time must be because Lin Shuang brought extra benefits to the Xianzhou Luofu.

"You must have done something secretly before I got back."

"Oh, it's just a trivial matter."

As they were talking, Lin Shuang pushed Acheron into the washroom.

He took Acheron's toiletries and stuffed them into her hand, trying to gag Acheron.

Acheron, seeing Lin Shuang's appearance, felt very curious.

What is it that you're so unwilling to tell her?

"Speaking of which, is there anything you want to do today?"

Watching Acheron wash up in front of the mirror, Lin Shuang picked up a comb and stood beside her to start styling her hair.

Without wearing high heels, the height difference between the two wasn't actually that great. Lin Shuang combed Acheron's hair while tilting her head to look at her reflection in the mirror.

Acheron looked at Lin Shuang, who was taking the initiative to fix his hair, and after thinking for a moment, said:

"It's nothing important. You go to your appointment first, and we'll talk about it when you get back."

"What's going on? Why are you being so mysterious? You're just keeping me in suspense."

Lin Shuang persisted, but Acheron was no longer willing to say anything more.

Seeing this, Lin Shuang could only purse her lips and stop asking questions.

"I'm going out later, I probably won't be back until the afternoon. By the way, you snuck back this time... do you have any plans to go out?"

Originally, I meant to suggest that Acheron wander around by himself during the day.

But then I suddenly remembered that this person had smuggled himself back to the Xianzhou, so if he were to leave, it would be best to inform the Xianzhou beforehand.

No at the moment.

Acheron shook her head. She didn't care whether she went out or not; she only went out more often when she was with Lin Shuang.

If she were alone, she would only travel to and from fixed locations unless absolutely necessary.

"Rather than me, you should just be mentally prepared when you come back."

"Huh? What are you going to do?"

Lin Shuang looked at Acheron suspiciously, but Acheron lowered his head, picked up a towel to wipe his face, and left.

Along with it, Lin Shuang also took away the three thousand strands of hair in her hand.

Even as Lin Shuang left, she remained puzzled about Acheron's plans for the night. Was he perhaps planning to meticulously arrange everything for her?

That can't be true.

Lin Shuang's anxiety lasted until she arrived at the Divination Department aboard her Starskiff.

"Hey, sis! You came to see me so quickly! Come over here, come over here!"

They hadn't gone far after disembarking from the Starskiff when Qingque suddenly appeared out of nowhere, holding something in her hands and beckoning to Lin Shuang.

After Lin Shuang walked over, Qingque stuffed two exquisite paper boxes into Lin Shuang's hands.

"These are milk candy Rice Dumpling I specially bought this morning, have a taste!"

However, just as she handed it over, Qingque noticed that Lin Shuang was also carrying a paper bag, the logo of which clearly indicated it was from a shop specializing in Xianzhou tea and snacks.

I glanced inside and saw that it was full of sweet Pastries.

She had only mentioned it casually during a chat, asking Lin Shuang to come over and have a chat sometime, and to say a good word about her to the Grand Diviner.

As it turned out, Lin Shuang not only came to visit him so quickly while he was 'in jail,' but also bought him a sweet tea snack that the old lady, Taibu, loved, at her own expense.

She really... I cried my eyes out...

How could she not know that Lin Shuang actually also liked savory tea snacks?

If you were really buying it for yourself, why would you only buy the sweet kind?

Qingque was deeply moved. She looked up and stared at Lin Shuang with bright eyes. The affection in her eyes was so strong that it gave Lin Shuang goosebumps.

"Girl... you actually bought a tea and snack with your own money?"

Lin Shuang blinked; she had no idea what Qingque was doing.

They were perfectly fine just a moment ago, so why are they acting like this, showing true friendship in times of trouble?

Surely not... I just came to see you while I was at work.

Do you want Pastries?

Thinking this, Lin Shuang opened the bag with both hands, revealing its contents, and then showed it to Qingque:

"Yes, I bought these for Fu Xuan on the way. I bought several kinds. Would you like to try some?"

Since Fu Xuan had invited Lin Shuang over for tea, Lin Shuang naturally bought some tea snacks that she liked, as well as those that suited Fu Xuan's taste.

"No need, no need. I've already troubled you to come and keep me company today, how could I possibly eat your food again?"

Qingque waved her hands repeatedly, then lifted Lin Shuang's hand up slightly and took the initiative to unwrap the milk candy Rice Dumpling.

He picked out a cute Rice Dumpling and held it to Lin Shuang's lips.

"Come on, try this milk candy Rice Dumpling first. Not only me, but Grandmother Taibu also loves it."

Just by bringing it close to your lips, you can already smell its rich, sweet milky aroma.

A perfectly balanced aroma can really whet one's appetite.

Lin Shuang had never actually tried this milk candy Rice Dumpling before.

Although I felt a little embarrassed that the Qingque had suddenly offered me food.

But Lin Shuang obediently opened her mouth and took the whole Rice Dumpling into her mouth in one gulp.

The index finger, coated with powdered sugar, is delicate and slightly sweet; it lightly brushes across the corner of the mouth without leaving a trace.

"Hmm..."

Lin Shuang stuffed her mouth full of a whole Rice Dumpling and chewed it with her cheeks puffed out.

Qingque couldn't help but laugh at the sight of her round face.

The Qingque, who had just fed Lin Shuang, smelled the familiar milky aroma, raised a finger, and proudly boasted:

"Aren't the Rice Dumpling delicious?"

Lin Shuang couldn't help but laugh at Qingque's expressive face, but with food in her mouth, she could only nod in response.

Seeing Lin Shuang's expression, Qingque knew that Lin Shuang liked the taste, so she cleverly took the paper bag from Lin Shuang's hand.

This allows her to eat the Rice Dumpling without worry.

Just then, Lin Shuang's phone rang twice. While eating her Rice Dumpling, she took it out and glanced at it, finding it was a message from Silver Wolf:

[Silver Wolf: We're getting married tomorrow!]

Volume 1: Chapter 94 Just bring someone with you to the wedding tomorrow.

Lin Shuang almost spat out her mouthful of Rice Dumpling.

What did this person suddenly say? Didn't we just agree to discuss the time and place first?

How did it get decided so quickly?

Before Lin Shuang could even send a message to ask, Silver Wolf, as if he had foreseen it, sent a series of messages:

[Silver Wolf: You must have forgotten!]

[Silver Wolf: Never mind]

[Silver Wolf: I'll decide the time and place for you.]

[Silver Wolf: In short, get this wedding done by tomorrow.]

[Silver Wolf: You only need to bring one person.]

[Silver Wolf: Perfect timing, help me complete this game achievement after you're done]

Silver Wolf: [Images][Images][Images]

Several game screenshots were also sent later, showing Silver Wolf's achievements from the previous night.

It includes several Leaderboard, as well as a list of achievements.

After saying that, Silver Wolf logged off without giving Lin Shuang a chance to reply.

Lin Shuang pouted.

Okay.

She knew it; this guy even had to find a way to make up for it in the game before getting married.

What kind of Sims game is this? You have to establish a real-world contractual relationship in a specific location to claim rewards.

Lin Shuang reasonably suspected that Silver Wolf was in such a hurry to come because he was after this achievement reward.

Shaking his head, he put away his phone, just in time to meet Qingque's curious gaze.

She was also holding a Rice Dumpling in her mouth, her cheeks twitching as she watched Lin Shuang, seemingly curious about the sudden change in Lin Shuang's expression.

Are you listening?

"I'm listening. You said the Cloud Knights escorted a lot of people straight to the Divination Department today, saying they've found the person who revealed the Abundant Doses."

Yes, yes, yes!

Qingque ate her Rice Dumpling and told Lin Shuang about what had happened that morning.

"You don't know, the faces of all the diviners who were responsible for helping changed completely, but the Grand Diviner remained very calm. I heard that the generals of the Cloud Knights were almost furious."

"Sigh, really, I've been dragged into this mess for no reason, and now I can only sit here and watch over things, unable to go anywhere."

As she said this, Qingque, seeing Lin Shuang's nonchalant expression, nudged Lin Shuang's waist with her elbow, somewhat annoyed:

"Hey, give me some feedback! The Abundant Doses has suffered another major setback because of you. If I were their leader, I would hate you to death."

Lin Shuang then realized what was happening and looked at Qingque in surprise:

"So you were worried about me, that's why you summoned me to the Temple of the Divination Department."

"You're practically my sister, so of course I'd be worried about you after something like this happened. Who would have thought that the internal purge of the Xianzhou would uncover the Abundant Doses informant?"

Yesterday, the Cloud Knights conducted a self-inspection overnight and found many suspicious individuals, which were then sent to the Divination Department).

Who would have thought that such a pleasant surprise could be found?

This time.

Some people who had previously complained about the general's orders have now fallen silent.

Previously, I could only say a few words about self-examinations targeting bad habits.

Now that the Abundant Doses have surfaced within the Cloud Knights, if you dare to speak up and stop it, you'll probably be sent to the Prison of Deep Seclusion on charges of "the Abundant Doses."

Qingque recounted the events of that morning to Lin Shuang.

As Lin Shuang listened, she began to sense that something was amiss...

General, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?

Using her name, a large-scale screening was launched within the Xianzhou, and results were obtained in just one day, even uncovering the person who had received the Abundant Doses.

If the investigation was only about the dereliction of duty by Cloud Knights mobile security team), why would they have conducted a thorough screening overnight?

This time, the Abundant Doses have probably really caught them off guard.

No... that's not right either.
