Watching Fu Xuan and Kafka's figures gradually disappear into the distance, Dan Heng took out his phone and shared the information he had gathered along the way with the Astral Express Crew.
[ The Astral Express Family ]
[ Dan Heng: The Stellaron Hunters has been taken away by the Master Diviner Fu of the Divination Commission. The interrogation will take place tomorrow.]
[ Dan Heng: Remember to come to Exalting Sanctum.]
[ March 7th: [ Pom-Pom's Peek. jpg]]
[ March 7th: Good news and bad news, which do you want to hear?]
[Star: Only children make choices, I want them all!]
[ Welt: Shall we hear the bad news first?]
[ March 7th: The Miss Tingyun we met was Lord Ravager Phantylia, in disguise]
[ Dan Heng:?]
[ Welt:??]
[ Himeko:???]
[Star: Don't rush to ask questions, we have more good news]
[Star: [ Pom-Pom Strikes. jpg]]
[ March 7th: The good news is that Xing and I found Teacher Ye Yan! And Miss Tingyun is there too!]
[ Ye Yan: 1]
Upon seeing this news, Dan Heng, Walter, and Welt on the train Himeko breathed a sigh of relief.
Ye Yan's status Emanator is reassuring.
At the milk tea shop, March 7th and Xing looked at Ye Yan with puzzled expressions.
"I don't really approve of not sending a milk tea emoji with the number 1, which has an unclear meaning."
"Please deduct '1' to prove I'm online."
Normally, when Silver Wolf wants to play games with him, he first bombards him with several text messages [1].
[ Dan Heng: Send me your location, Mr. Welt and I will come find you.]
[ March 7th: No need to look for us, let's just meet at Exalting Sanctum Plaza! Isn't that plaza lively?]
[ Welt:...]
Doesn't anyone consider his feelings?
Not to mention that after being taken to Dusty Inn by the Lord Ravager, how to get to Exalting Sanctum Square was a problem.
[ Himeko: [ Pom-Pom peeking. jpg]]
[ Dan Heng: I'm going to pick up Mr. Welt.]
He had just arrived in Exalting Sanctum by Starskiff and knew the way.
[ Welt:...]
[ March 7th: The Heavenly Gang has been overthrown; Uncle Yang used to be the one to pick us up.]
[ Dan Heng: Please be careful.]
Xing and March 7th found Ye Yan, so he no longer needs to worry about going to Exalting Sanctum.
Meanwhile, under strong pressure from March 7th and Xing, Ye Yan was forced to rejoin the team, thus ending his pleasant time of slacking off.
At this time in the past, he would be lying in a rocking chair, leisurely enjoying his lunch break.
" Dan Heng told us to go to that square, right? Teacher Ye Yan, could you please lead the way?"
Ye Yan was pushed out by Xing and March 7th. Before leaving, he didn't forget to throw the shop keys to Tingyun.
"Why?"
Tingyun tilted her head. How did she become a store owner in such a short time?
Hmm... working as a shop assistant is a path I never considered.
No sooner had Ye Yan and his group left than a spirited Cloud Knight Lieutenant arrived.
"Teacher! Huh... why is it a different teacher again?" Yanqing looked up and met Tingyun's gaze, who was looking completely bewildered.
The quick-witted Tingyun immediately thought of a response, "I'm sorry, Boss Ye Yan hasn't returned yet. Miss Qingque was summoned by the Lord Diviner, so she had to entrust my daughter... cough, to me to manage the milk tea shop in her stead."
"Is that so..." Yanqing tentatively believed Tingyun's words, but after all, he was a stranger he had never seen on the Xianzhou. His clothes and appearance showed that he was not a native of the Xianzhou. He might be an outsider who could not find a job and had to come to Luofu to look for work.
Just to be on the safe side, Yanqing remained cautious.
On the way to Exalting Sanctum, March 7th asked Ye Yan a lot of questions in one go.
"Hey, Teacher Ye Yan, haven't you considered renovating your milk tea shop? It has such a unique decorating style, can a shop that's too run-down really attract customers?"
" Teacher Ye Yan, what do you do for a living? I don't see many employees at the bubble tea shop. Do you do the whole thing yourself?"
"And also, could we get a discount on milk tea next time we buy it?"
"So, what exactly does the Divination Commission do...?"
Ye Yan patiently explained to March 7th, "I didn't open the shop to make a profit; I just wanted convenience."
"Wow... wouldn't that mean losing money every day?"
"With low customer traffic and a limited number of milk tea drinks made, there's no issue of whether we're making a profit or loss."
Since Ye Yan settled in Xianzhou, the number of people who have patronized his milk tea shop can be counted on one hand.
In chronological order: Jing Yuan, Tingyun, Qingque, and Yanqing.
Looking at it this way, the customer traffic is truly dismal; there aren't even five customers.
" March 7th, why do you always say such hurtful things!" Xing tapped March 7th's head.
She had a direct understanding of Ye Yan's financial resources; he could give away 800 million Credits so easily. At first, she thought it was a reward for the loser (who lost the pillow fight in a second).
The next day, Ye Yan gave her another 2 billion Credits, saying that Kafka had asked him to transfer them.
When Divination Commission interrogates Kafka, Xing must find her and ask her about this matter.
"As for the Divination Commission that Miss March 7th just asked about... to put it simply, the Divination Commission is in charge of intelligence gathering, planning, and divination for the Xianzhou."
"Divination? Using divination for interrogation? Isn't that just pure luck?"
"The divination method on the Xianzhou isn't some silly game like tossing coins or drawing wooden sticks; it's a technique called [ Jade Abacus ]," Ye Yan patiently explained to the two.
"From the navigation routes of the Xianzhou and the policies of the imperial court to military campaigns and the livelihood of the people, everything was divined and calculated by the Divination Commission to ensure good fortune and avoid misfortune."
"Oh... can the Divination Commission predict Teacher Ye Yan?" March 7th asked Curiosity.
"I don't know. I can have Master Diviner Fu for me when the time comes."
Ah, but that would expose my identity.
Let's skip this topic for now.
"Also, if Miss March 7th wants some milk tea, just say the word."
Even Nous thinks this milk tea tastes good; its quality control is trustworthy.
Ye Yan felt that in the field of milk tea making... both in terms of skill and status, he was among the top, especially among his colleagues at Aeon.
No one stronger than Him can make milk tea as well as Him, and no one better at making milk tea than Him is as powerful as Him. After all, He is a Aeon, and his strength is definitely there.
If March 7th knew His true identity, he would probably say something like this right now:
"No Aeon would be so bored as to make milk tea!!!"
Xing and Ye Yan talked about Kafka, who had just been captured. "Everything that's happened so far... seems to have been within her expectations? Otherwise, there's no reason for her to be on the train, just to walk right into their trap?"
Ye Yan smiled slightly. From a certain perspective, Kafka really made the right move.
"It was as if someone reminded her."
" Elio —the leader of the [ Stellaron Hunters ]. No one knows who he is or what he looks like; all that is known is that the Interastral Peace Corporation calls him [ Destiny's Slave ]."
"Legend has it that he possesses the power to foresee [possibilities]. The company believes that Elio can see the timeline of infinitely many possible scenarios, an ability that is almost akin to predicting the future."
"If the rumors are true, then every seemingly Nihility action of the Stellaron Hunters is in fact a choice of [possibilities]."
But who isn't a variable in the future?
"We are all variables in the future, shaping reality through our choices. The future isn't anything extraordinary; it's just a fog waiting for our decisions."
"Ah... Teacher Ye Yan suddenly started talking about profound things."
March 7th was a bit confused; did the topic jump to this so quickly?
