Starry sky, I can hear their secrets.

"When the Grand Diviner reprimands me, you must stand on my side, understand?"

Su Jinyan whispered in Qingque's ear, "Qian'er, I'll tell you a secret."

"The judges of the Ten Kings' Court, Xueyi and Hanya, are both my men."

Qingque's lips parted slightly, too shocked to close them: "You...you...you..."

This guy is incredibly audacious; he doesn't even spare the judge. He's utterly depraved.

Su Jinyan smiled and said, "So, you can't escape my grasp, Qingque."

Qingque smiled slightly, thinking, "Who can escape whose grasp after all?"

"Ahem, Su Taibu, please have some self-respect."

"We're just friends, you've crossed the line."

Qingque suddenly became serious and kept pushing Su Jinyan.

It was less of a shoving and more of a playful refusal.

Su Jinyan also got into character, kissing Qingque's snowy neck:

"Sparrow, work must be tough. Let me help you relieve some of the stress."

"Want a raise? How about you apply for overtime and I'll give you a raise?"

To make it more immersive, Su Jinyan picked up Qingque's jade tablet and helped her submit an overtime application.

The bluebird murmured shyly, "You beast..."

"We can't do this; doing so would be disrespectful to the Grand Diviner."

"You're destined to become the Grand Diviner's husband, so you can't cheat on me."

Su Jinyan's eyes were deep as he held Qingque's soft little feet: "Qingque, you know how to flirt."

Qingque's decision to remind him at this crucial moment only intensified the sense of their impropriety.

The stronger the sense of immorality, the more excited they become when they steal food.

Yes, he did wrong Fu Xuan, but it was really exciting to do it.

......

Inside the Grand Diviner's office, diviners were busy coming and going.

Looking at the overtime application submitted by Qingque, Fu Xuan couldn't help but sneer.

Something unusual must be going on; Qingque wouldn't voluntarily work overtime for no reason.

It just so happens that Ayan is not by my side, so let me give her a try.

Thinking of this, Fu Xuan turned around and went back to her office, taking out the five-star light cone that Su Jinyan had given her.

[Life and death, separation and reunion]

[Rarity: ★★★★★]

The following effects only apply to the "Preservation of Fate" skill.

[Skill Name: Mutual Exchange]

[Increases the wearer's maximum health by 40%. After marking an ally within a certain distance, 25% of the damage they take will be transferred to the wearer.]

[The Story of the Light Cone: In life and death, we made a vow. Holding your hand, we will grow old together.]

She thought the pain in her forehead would accompany her for the rest of her life, until she met the person destined for her, and then the pain subsided considerably.

The girl had long known that he was her destined one, for destiny always has only one path.

But there are many ways to reach the road, and the girl must make her own choice based on her own will.

Fu Xuan blushed slightly. This story about the light cone was really annoying; it revealed all of her thoughts.

After using this light cone, she needs to mark her teammates within a certain range.

Naturally, Fu Xuan marked Qing Que.

After activating the [Qiong Guan Zhen], 65% + 25% of the damage Qing Que takes will be transferred to Fu Xuan.

Fu Xuan parted his lips slightly: "Together we become one."

A blush crept onto Fu Xuan's delicate face.

An indescribable feeling made Fu Xuan's body tremble, her small white-socked feet tensed instantly, and her cute toes curled up.

"Traitor! Traitor!"

"You've done this behind my back again!"

"How dare you face me?!"

Fu Xuan couldn't help but cover her lips, her beautiful eyes filled with tears, and she forced herself not to make a sound.

Qingque, you're doomed too. I warned you before.

Qingque, far away in the library, looked somewhat bewildered, her moist lips slightly parted:

"Ayan, why don't you feel so comfortable anymore...?"

"Have you been trying to help people relieve their stress?"

Su Jinyan looked up and was stunned.

He doesn't care about being questioned; he can just take it as Qingque being stubborn.

But Qingque's beautiful eyes were now clear and bright; she no longer seemed to be moved.

"Sparrow, when did your threshold increase so much?"

Qingque spread her hands and said, "Oh dear, I don't know either, it just happened in that instant."

"If we play it this way, the Imperial Jade Palace is still more interesting."

Su Jinyan gave a half-smile: "Alright, alright, alright."

"Trying to provoke me, huh? I'm actually falling for that."

Qingque said lazily, "That's not what I meant."

"I felt really good just now, did you not try hard enough?"

"Or are you so busy serving Lord Fu Xuan that you're already overwhelmed?"

Su Jinyan almost laughed out of anger: "Qingque, you know how to provoke people, just you wait."

How dare that little bluebird provoke him like that?

Even if he doesn't go to Kafka's banquet tonight, he still needs to let Qingque know that some jokes shouldn't be made carelessly.

Qingque squinted her beautiful eyes contentedly and instructed, "The red string must not be untied."

"We're good friends, you know? Our relationship hasn't reached that stage yet."

"If you untie it, I'll..."

"What do you do?"

I'll bite you to death!

Well, if Ayan works a little harder, I can take sick leave again tomorrow.

Not taking initiative, not refusing, not taking responsibility—this is Qingque's secret to happy work.

Su Jinyan suspected that Qingque had used this secret technique on him.

Is it really true that one thing can subdue another?

Tingyun wanted to stick to him all the time, but Xiao Que'er kept him at arm's length, having him completely under her control.

Even without untying the red rope, he could still make Qingque experience his abilities.

The next moment, Su Jinyan put his arm around Qingque's slender waist and whispered.

"Little Sparrow, I'm getting serious now."

Qingque blushed slightly, her face showing a hint of unease: "Well, enough is enough, right?"

She didn't seem to realize just how damaging her words had been.

For a man, this is undoubtedly a taboo.

It was at this moment that Fu Xuan, with trembling little hands, deactivated the [Qiong Guan Formation].

Qingque suddenly let out a soft moan, her little face turning bright red.

She quickly buried her pretty face in Su Jinyan's arms: "I'm sorry, Ayan, I was wrong."

This is really weird, why did it have to start feeling this way at this time of year...?

Su Jinyan forcefully lifted Qingque's chin, his smile intriguing.

"You know to turn when a starship hits a wall, and you know to buy when stocks rise."

"I've already gotten serious, and now you know how to repent? Little Sparrow, it's too late!"
