Starry Sky Railway: The Slacking Sword Saint is Keeped by Fu Xuan

For a moment he forgot that the raw fish in front of him was no longer the little kid he had just picked up.

Yu Chen awkwardly withdrew his hand and touched his nose. "Ahem... what's for breakfast?"

"Meat porridge, steamed buns, and pickled vegetables." Yu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief, suppressing the embarrassment in his heart, and looked at him quietly, saying, "Sir, if you don't hurry, it will really be too late."

"Oh, it's alright, it's alright, the Grand Diviner will surely forgive me."

Yu Chen scratched his messy, bird's nest-like hair, completely unconcerned.

...

"You dare to be late on your second day of work?"

Fu Xuan put down her brush and looked up at the guy who was standing casually in front of her.

"Oh dear, something happened at home..."

Yu Chen scratched his face, somewhat embarrassed, and said.

"Heh...then tell me what happened?"

Fu Xuan sneered, his gaze unfriendly.

"Um... Yu Sheng is sick, so I took him to the Dan Ding Si!"

"Sashimi?"

"She is my... family member and full-time housekeeper."

Yu Chen nodded in approval, confirming the identity.

"Why don't you just say you were sick and went to see a doctor?" Fu Xuan stared at him, not believing his nonsense at all.

"How could I possibly get sick? Look how strong I am!" Yu Chen said, pounding his chest hard. The dull thumping sound made Fu Xuan and Xing Xuan, who was standing to the side trying to make themselves inconspicuous, twitch their eyebrows.

"Stop, stop, stop! Don't kill yourself right here!"

Fu Xuan's lips twitched, and he quickly stopped him.

"Hmm... so what do I need to do?"

Yu Chen crossed his arms and blocked the doorway, staring at the Grand Diviner sitting at his desk.

The chair she was sitting on seemed to be custom-made, deliberately made to be taller so that this petite girl could comfortably work at the desk.

only…

Yu Chen's gaze was drawn to the pair of swaying white silk-clad feet under the table.

White stockings encased her plump calves, and her alluring white-stockinged feet, encased in shoes, swayed incessantly. It was a pity that we couldn't see her true face.

Perhaps for some people with special fetishes, these exquisite legs and feet must be a rare delicacy in the world?

Ice cream and the like shouldn't be cooled down; they should only be kept at a red temperature.

"You... just do menial tasks like serving tea and water. You know nothing, and asking you to do anything else would only cause trouble. Just stay by my side, study the ink, brew tea, and so on..."

You should know these, right?

Fu Xuan suddenly frowned. Although Yu Chen in front of her looked dignified now, she still vividly remembered the scene when they first met.

That disheveled, dejected middle-aged man's appearance is simply indescribable.

Perhaps some young girls would like that type, but she really can't appreciate that rough look.

"Who do you think you are? Of course I can handle something that's so simple!" Yu Chen glared at her, clearly displeased with her disdain.

"Alright, Xingxuan will take him for a walk, and then you can get busy."

Fu Xuan nodded, gave a brief instruction, and then buried himself in the documents in his hands.

Upon hearing this, Yu Chen looked at Xing Xuan expectantly.

Xingxuan smiled at him, "Then Yuchen, come with me..."

The house where the diviner worked was not far from the Qiong Guan Zhen formation, and it was also the only house near the Qiong Guan Zhen formation.

After all, it is the most important facility in the entire Taibusi, and even in the entire Luofu. Its value and importance to Luofu are immeasurable.

Yu Chen turned his head and glanced at the huge crystal computer [Yu Zhao] in the center of the array, which was the foundation of the entire Taibusi.

It's indispensable for everything from predicting the Luofu route and forecasting the future to storing information.

"Here is the tea room."

Xingxuan led him to a room, and as soon as the door was opened, a refreshing aroma of tea wafted out.

Two large shelves were placed on either side of the room, filled with small boxes labeled with the type of tea inside.

She walked to a box and said to Yu Chen, "This Jade Phoenix Tea is what the Grand Diviner drinks most often and is her favorite. If you're going to brew it for her, just brew this."

Yu Chen nodded, finding it somewhat amusing. The tea this young lady was drinking had such an elegant name; it truly befitted her status as a diviner.

"Remember to scald the cup first, then put five or six grams of tea leaves into the teapot."

The first pot of hot water is used to rinse the tea leaves, which is then poured out after ten breaths. Then, a second pot of hot water is poured in to steep the tea leaves. This process allows the tea leaves to fully develop their flavor.

"Uh... I understand."

Yu Chen crossed his arms and nodded seriously.

However, this roughneck had never heard of such a proper way to brew tea. In his mind, brewing tea was simply a matter of throwing in some tea leaves and pouring in hot water.

Why would there be so many complicated procedures?

'Anyway, the difference isn't significant. Skipping a step or two shouldn't make a difference, right?'

Yu Chen silently calculated in his heart that if he really did what she said every time, it would really torture him to death.

"Good to know. Once we're familiar with this place, you can brew a pot of tea for the Grand Diviner and bring it over."

Remember to brew a fresh pot of tea if it gets cold.

Cold tea loses its flavor and may even spoil if reheated.

"Okay..." Yu Chen blinked. He had only one thought in his mind: these important people are so delicate and troublesome...

Despite his considerable reputation, he has never made such a request.

He always treated his subordinates with complete sincerity and always did things personally, never troubling them!

Yu Sheng: Sir, don't you want to listen to what you're saying???

At this moment, he had no idea that Yu Sheng would do his laundry, cook for him, or even wash and tie his hair, or even give him a bath... Well, he might occasionally let Yu Sheng rub his back or something.

These things, even more mundane than a mother's daughter's, vanished from his mind at that moment.

Yu Sheng knew that he would definitely burst into tears in his bed. He worked himself to the bone for him, but in the end, he didn't remember a thing.

How pitiful, how pitiful…

Yu Chen inwardly criticized the Grand Diviner's extravagance, and felt more and more that he was a good official who was close to ordinary people.

Although it was just an unofficial position, it's now merely a nominal title...

Right, an unofficial general?

Chapter 19 Xingxuan's Little Secret~

"Then that's the room where the Grand Diviner usually rests when she's tired. You don't need to go in there. It's like her second bedroom."

Yu Chen glanced curiously at the room deep inside. "Does she usually live in the Taipusi? That's so dedicated!"

Xingxuan glanced at him. "That's not entirely true. Most of the time she just takes a nap, but occasionally she stays overnight. Hmm... she doesn't seem to like staying at home very much, but as subordinates, we shouldn't talk about these things."

“Oh…” Yu Chen nodded, seemingly lost in thought.

"Don't go in... If they find out, you'll be in big trouble," Xingxuan warned, still worried.

"Hey, what do you take me for? I said I wouldn't go in, so of course I won't!" Yu Chen waved his hand, looking like he was the most sincere and good citizen of Luofu.

"That's good..." Xingxuan nodded, breathed a slight sigh of relief, and then led him in another direction.

"There's a canteen inside the Imperial Divination Office, but the Grand Diviner rarely goes there; he usually eats at Liuyun Pavilion..."

"Oh, I know that, she drives it herself, right?"

Yu Chen suddenly interrupted.

Xingxuan looked at him with some surprise, then asked with some curiosity.

“That’s right. Besides the Grand Diviner himself eating there, he also receives many distinguished guests… By the way, how do you know? You were the former Grand Diviner before you went into seclusion, right? That place wasn’t even built yet.”

"Sigh... I was tricked by her yesterday. She clearly promised to treat me to a meal at a fancy hotel, but in the end, she took me to her own shop. And she even conspired with her employees to lie to me that they didn't have any alcohol to sell... It's absolutely outrageous!" Yu Chen said indignantly.

Xingxuan covered her mouth and chuckled, "Liuyun Pavilion is a place that even rich people can't get into. It's so much more luxurious than an ordinary hotel. You've really hit the jackpot."

Yu Chen frowned. "But the fact that she lied to me and said there was no wine made me very unhappy."

"The Diviner also wants to help you quit drinking. Even immortals are prone to illness if they drink too much..."

"Hmph, do I need her kindness? Besides, I am a dignified Sword Saint, why would I be afraid of this?"

Yu Chen crossed his arms and snorted.

"Alright, alright... Anyway, there is a kitchen here, but it's never been used. So there's no food storage or anything. You... you probably don't know how to cook, right?"
