Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

Qingque: “?”

You call this a healing technique? Isn't that blatant lying?!

However, at that moment, another figure burst out from the Shadow Flame, taking advantage of the aftershocks of the explosion.

The ferocious Kui Mulang howled and pounced on Su Jinyan, trying to bite off his throat.

Su Jinyan remained calm and was about to make a move when a jade tablet from the Imperial City whistled past his cheek.

The Imperial Jade Token shimmered with a faint glow and struck Kui Mulang squarely on the head.

Kui Mulang: "?"

Puff——

Blood splattered.

Kui Mulang's head exploded like a ripe watermelon.

"Hehe, it's never too late to get good cards."

Qingque smiled brightly and made a peace sign, a symbol of victory.

Su Jinyan looked at her in surprise: "One blow to kill? I really underestimated you."

Seemingly realizing something, Qingque quickly suppressed her smile and stuck out her tongue.

"No, no, it was just a lucky accident~"

"Also, I should be the one saying that. I'm the one who underestimated you."

Tingyun gently waved her folding fan, appearing still shaken.

"Thank you so much for saving me again, and thank you so much for Miss Qingque's help."

"It's fortunate that you're here. If I were alone, I would probably have become this monster's meal long ago."

Su Jinyan asked in a deep voice, "Miss Tingyun, if I remember correctly, this should be your Minghuo Merchant Guild's cargo starship, right?"

Tingyun answered truthfully, "That's right."

Su Jinyan asked in confusion, "Then how could such abundant evil creatures have been mixed in?"

Tingyun gently shook her head: "I'm sorry, benefactor."

"This matter...I was unaware of it either..."

Su Jinyan frowned and said, "I think this matter is of utmost importance."

"We need to report this to Lord Yukong and investigate it thoroughly."

"Why would such a bountiful creature be mixed into the cargo starship of the Minghuo Merchant Guild?"

Qingque wholeheartedly agreed: "That's right, I think so too."

"Miss Tingyun, how about we go to the card room for a couple of rounds to calm our nerves after this is all over?"

"Hey, Ayan, what are you doing?"

Before she could finish speaking, Qingque received a sharp rap on the head, covering her little head with teary eyes.

Su Jinyan said seriously, "Little Sparrow, this is not the time for jokes."

"Tingyun, come with us back to the Imperial Divination Bureau first, so that Lord Fu Xuan can see what's going on."

Qingque nodded hurriedly: "That's right, Miss Tingyun, you can always trust the Grand Diviner."

"Although the old lady Taibu is not tall, her abilities are truly outstanding."

"Solving such a small matter was a piece of cake for her."

Upon hearing this, Su Jinyan couldn't help but glance at Qingque again.

Qingque seemed to have noticed something as well, and her eyes met Su Jinyan's.

Su Jinyan revealed a malicious smile.

Then he leaned close to Qingque's ear and whispered into her snow-white earlobe, "Little Qingque."

Qingque shrank her head, feeling a slight itch in her ears.

"Little Bluebird, how dare you make fun of my Lord Fu Xuan's height."

"If she finds out, you'll be in big trouble."

Qingque narrowed her beautiful eyes and leaned close to Su Jinyan's ear, whispering:

"Hmph, Ayan, didn't you also make fun of me? Let's not laugh at each other."

The two then exchanged knowing smiles, pretending nothing had happened.

The Alliance to Protect the Best Talisman is officially established at this moment.

Tingyun: “…”

Don't these two know that fox people have very keen hearing?

……

On the way to the Taipusi (a local religious institution), Qingque suddenly stopped, her small face serious.

"Ayan, Ayan, I've realized that we seem to have overlooked something very important."

"Hmm, what is it?" Su Jinyan looked at her, puzzled.

"It seems we haven't done anything at all the things the Grand Diviner ordered us to do."

Qingque spread her little hands, looking helpless.

"Well, it seems that's really true..."

“But don’t worry, I think you should be able to solve this with your intelligence…” Su Jinyan said.

Qingque tapped her head and stuck out her tongue: "Hehe, I forgot~"

Su Jinyan: "Do you think Lord Fu Xuan will let you get away with this?"

Qingque's face was grave: "I'm sorry, Grand Diviner."

"Actually, I have a terminal illness that will kill me if I work overtime, so you should leave the work to Ayan."

Su Jinyan chuckled sinisterly, "Heh heh, I don't keep useless people with terminal illnesses. You can leave now."

Qingque: "Hmph, you'll regret it!"

Su Jinyan: "In the end, you still failed to solve the problem."

Qingque asked defiantly, "Then what's your best idea?"

Su Jinyan turned around arrogantly: "Hmph, we just need to do this and that, and so on."

"In this way, Lord Fu Xuan will certainly not blame us, do you understand?"

Qingque: "...Please tell me again in the language of the Immortal Ship people."

Su Jinyan said calmly, "You just need to describe the situation as serious as possible."

“If necessary, I will step in to divert Lord Fu Xuan’s attention.”

Qingque blinked her beautiful eyes: "As serious as possible?"

Su Jinyan nodded slowly and smiled, "That's how it is."

Qingque, her little face contorted with grief, wept uncontrollably, "Waaah, Miss Tingyun, you died such a tragic death..."

Su Jinyan's expression changed drastically: "Are you here mourning?"

Tingyun couldn't help but raise her folding fan and tap it on Qingque's little head.

"I'm perfectly fine, why would you curse someone else?"

Qingque rubbed her head and said sheepishly, "I just wanted to make it sound more serious."

------

Taipus.

Fu Xuan stood before the Jade Omen Calculator of the Great Evolution of Myriad Phenomena, seemingly deep in thought.

This morning, Fu Xuan became curious about Su Jinyan, so he decided to cast a divination for this new fortune teller.

The hexagram is Qian, which is a very auspicious hexagram. The image says: "A trapped dragon finds water and good fortune arrives. Joy naturally appears on its face. All plans and desires will be fulfilled, and its fortune will gradually rise in the future."

In other words, this newcomer originally had a lot of talent but had nowhere to use it. However, recently he will receive help from a benefactor, and all his plans will go smoothly. He will turn bad luck into good luck and finally see the light at the end of the tunnel.

In short, such talents should be cultivated, and those with ability should be given more patience.

But this guy's personality is too unruly, especially since he has improper thoughts about me, which is really hard to accept.

A benefactor… Could it be that I am his benefactor?

At this moment, shouts from afar interrupted Fu Xuan's thoughts.

"Master Taibu, Master Taibu——"

Qingque rushed up the steps in a panic, her voice urgent: "Something's happened, something terrible has happened."

Seeing that Qingque had arrived in such a hurry, many diviners from the Imperial Divination Bureau were first startled, and then frowned.
