This lucky star was too damn good at his job. Thousand-Mile Eye and Wind-Following Ear nearly blacked out too. Looking at Taibai made their hearts ache. You've dragged us all into this mess! Couldn't you actually help for once?
Chaos engulfed the duty star official's residence. What should have been a perfectly normal interview had three interviewers: the chief interviewer had fainted, while his two deputies stood there in a daze, their minds completely blank.
"What happened?" Ou Yezi stared blankly at the floor too. Hearing the commotion out front, Zhang Heng came out from the rear hall, utterly bewildered. Was that really necessary? Fainting from excitement?
Nobody understood. Taibai was dumbfounded, Thousand-Mile Eye was dumbfounded, and Wind-Following Ear was even more dumbfounded. What were they supposed to do now? Every one of them panicked, completely at a loss. One extra person would have been manageable; they could have found some excuse to send him away. But now a whole crowd had shown up. What could they say?
"Um, well... please go home. We already have enough people this time!" Thousand-Mile Eye felt he ought to take responsibility. He was the one who had started this, after all.
"What? You're full? Then why were you interviewing people just now?" Zhang Heng was annoyed. Wasn't this complete bullshit? If you were already full, why did you invite all those people inside? Do you think I didn't hear you?
Ou Yezi looked furious as well. So you were just messing with us today! The two walked out with dark expressions.
Taibai's heart jolted. Holy shit. This is going to blow up!
Outside the duty star official's residence, voices clamored. Inside the Soaring Firmament Palace, however, song and dance filled the air in peaceful celebration. The three Imperial Lords drank and conversed quietly.
