Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Those who are dismissed for misconduct that damages the reputation of Tianbo Company may not even receive severance pay.

The other five departments would also refuse to hire him due to the blemishes on his resume, meaning he would never be able to hold a public office in his lifetime.

This was even harder for him to accept than the decision Tingyun made.

Yu Qing was trembling all over, muttering in a trembling voice, "This is not fair, I want to apply for labor arbitration..."

Yu Kong remained unmoved: "That's your freedom."

“Xi Kui, have Chi Yan escort him out. Our Tianbo Company does not welcome guests like him.”

------

Twenty minutes ago, Tabusi.

The library was dimly lit by candlelight. On the desk sat a black-and-white photograph of Qingque, and an incense burner exuded an ethereal aura. Peach, plum, melon, and fruit were all on display.

The first line of the funeral couplet reads: "He died young, but his virtue and reputation remain."

The second line of the elegiac couplet reads: "His body is gone, but his voice and appearance remain."

The horizontal inscription on the elegiac couplet reads: I love the jade of the imperial palace.

Outside the library, approaching footsteps could be heard, and the conversation between Fu Xuan and Su Jinyan grew closer.

"What kind of hero are you trying to be? Don't do such dangerous things alone again."

"Yes, yes, Lord Fu Xuan is right. I will listen to you from now on. If you tell me to go east, I will never go west."

"Then you should stop associating with Tingyun. Look at him, a perfectly good ferryman from the Tianbo Bureau, now he's being implicated by your karma."

"She can only hide in the Tabuan now, and dares not go out anywhere."

"Don't worry, Master. With me taking care of Tingyun, she won't be lonely."

"Is this what I meant? You rebellious disciple!"

Not long after, Fu Xuan slowly pushed open the library door.

Sensing that someone had broken into the library, Qingque, who was kneeling on the futon, slowly twisted her neck.

Her petite body appeared to be the same grayish-white color as in the photograph.

"Who is coming to worship the Bluebird...?"

"Did you bring the Imperial Jade?"

"We're one short for mahjong, let's call Tingyun over to join us..."

"Blue, blue, blue... Bluebird!"

Fu Xuan's body swayed precariously, and she seemed somewhat dazed.

Seeing that Fu Xuan was about to stumble and fall to the ground, Su Jinyan quickly caught her in his arms.

"Master, Master! Don't die!"

Su Jinyan cried out in sorrow and gently patted Fu Xuan's delicate face.

Great, no response.

My master is in trouble, and as her disciple, I should do my duty to her and give her artificial respiration.

Just as Su Jinyan was about to kiss him, Fu Xuan woke up at the perfect moment.

"Qingque! What exactly do you want? Have you finished your work for today?!"

Fu Xuan blushed and broke free from Su Jinyan's embrace, scolding him in a sweet voice.

Qingque was filled with grief and indignation: "Qingque is dead! You chose this, Lord Taibu!"

Fu Xuan felt slightly uneasy: "Qing Que is... dead? Then what was the Qing Que I saw?"

Su Jinyan hurriedly stepped forward to help Fu Xuan up and comforted him, "Lord Fu Xuan, please don't blame yourself too much."

"The reason why Qingque fell into the demonic body was because she was exhausted from working overtime and staying up late."

"It has absolutely nothing to do with you."

Fu Xuan cried out urgently, "I, I..."

“Ayan, have you seen Qingque? The one kneeling on that futon.”

Qingque stiffly turned her neck around.

Su Jinyan sighed silently, his eyes filled with sorrow: "Master, you should rest now."

"Qingque's death was not your fault."

Fu Xuan was so shocked by this sudden shock that he fainted in Su Jinyan's arms.

I could vaguely hear a familiar voice.

"Master, are you alright, Master!"

"Master Taibu, Master Taibu!"

"What should I do, Ayan? I think I went too far. The Grand Diviner has really fainted."

"Don't panic, keep kneeling on the prayer mat, I have a plan."

Fu Xuan's eyelashes trembled slightly as she pondered whether to ask Qing Que to take on more work tomorrow.

Just as Fu Xuan was about to wake up, Su Jinyan kissed her lips without hesitation.

If we don't perform artificial respiration now, when will we?

Fu Xuan's lips were very soft and a little cool; the touch of kissing them was like jelly.

"Well--"

Fu Xuan's pretty face turned red, and her beautiful eyes, which she was just about to open, closed again.

This is outrageous! How dare this traitor treat me like this!

Fu Xuan dared not open his eyes; he decided to pretend he didn't know.

Opening your eyes at this moment would undoubtedly make the atmosphere very awkward.

Furthermore, she would feel embarrassed to face Qingque and Su Jinyan.

Su Jinyan seemed to have forgotten that she was performing artificial respiration, reveling in the sweet fragrance between Fu Xuan's lips.

After a long time, Fu Xuan suddenly opened her beautiful eyes and forcefully pushed Su Jinyan away.

Fu Xuan's eyelashes trembled slightly, her pretty face flushed as red as cherry blossoms, and her eyes were hazy and misty.

Her lips parted slightly as she breathed softly, seemingly still immersed in the blissful moment.

Su Jinyan was so eager that she almost couldn't resist kissing him a couple more times.

But if you kiss her again at this moment, the meaning changes.

He couldn't guarantee that Fu Xuan, in his lucid state, wouldn't become enraged and unleash a series of attacks on him.

Before this, Fu Xuan had no experience with kissing; this was her first kiss.

Therefore, she remained in a state of breathlessness.

The reason Fu Xuan chose to push Su Jinyan away was because he felt short of breath.

Otherwise, she might have continued to pretend to be unconscious.

Su Jinyan breathed a sigh of relief: "It seems my artificial respiration really worked."

Fu Xuan's pretty face flushed slightly as she asked blankly, "Artificial respiration? What artificial respiration?"

"Ayan, did I just faint? Did you see me?"

Su Jinyan understood immediately: "No, you're perfectly fine."

Fu Xuan narrowed her beautiful eyes and turned her attention to Qing Que: "Hmph, Qing Que!"

Qingque knelt on the futon, her back to Fu Xuan, her delicate body stiff, not daring to breathe.

She suddenly regretted playing a prank on Fu Xuan tonight.

Will I be silenced by the diviner later?

Qingque dared not say more and silently knelt before her "black and white portrait".

"Let us always remember Qingque. In the eyes of her family, she was a well-mannered and knowledgeable girl."

"In her boss's eyes, she was a hardworking and dedicated subordinate."

"In the eyes of her colleagues, she is a good role model for Tabusi."

Fu Xuan: "..."

If all the diviners in the Grand Diviner's Office were like you, then I might as well give up on life and fall into demonic possession, and report to the Ten Kings' Office.

Qingque was deeply saddened: "Because of a wrong promotion order from the Grand Diviner."

"Qingque's life was forever frozen on that night."
