the other side

Kafka stood in the center of the Qiong Guan Zhen, her hands sealed and bound in front of her.

His posture remained calm and elegant, not at all like a prisoner about to be interrogated.

Meanwhile, outside the formation, Fu Xuan was facing away from her, clutching his phone.

She had no time to care about the Star Core Hunter behind her; her mind was preoccupied with something else entirely.

"That bastard Jingyuan, he went out shopping by himself and left me with a complete mess!"

She cursed Jing Yuan in her heart from beginning to end.

She presided over Kafka's interrogation, she set up the Qiong Guan Formation, and she even handled all the administrative affairs.

Jingyuan, on the other hand, ran away faster than anyone else after turning into a beautiful girl.

They went off to play on Chang Le Street without even saying hello, and there hasn't been a trace of them since.

"The dignified General of Luofu has completely let himself go after turning into a beautiful girl."

I used to try to be lazy whenever I could.

But at least they would still pretend; now they don't even bother pretending anymore.

"Bad thing!"

After scolding Jing Yuan, her thoughts involuntarily drifted to another person.

The Star Train should have arrived today. Qingque just went to pick them up, and they should be back soon.

My older brother should be here by now, but I don't know if he really remembers me.

If you really remember, then why do such a thing?

She looked down at her phone screen, her finger hovering over the album icon, hesitating for a long time before finally deciding not to open it.

She had already gone through all those defeated CG selfies this morning while organizing her phone.

There are photos of people kneeling on desks, people with disheveled hair, and people with vacant eyes.

……

Each picture made her blush and turn pale repeatedly.

I don't know whether to call him a pervert or praise his acting skills.

"If he still remembers, why did he use my body to do that kind of thing... How am I supposed to tell him about taking so many photos?"

Should we scold him? Hit him? Or just hang him from a tree and give him a good beating?

The more she thought about it, the more agitated she became.

"I wonder what's on this mind of yours, Master Diviner?"

Tell me what you think, maybe I can help you solve the problem.

Fu Xuan snapped out of his daze and turned to look at Kafka in the center of the formation.

One of the leaders of the Star Core Hunters, a notorious fugitive in the universe.

I found myself staring blankly at the prisoner for quite a while before the interrogation even began.

If Jing Yuan finds out, he'll definitely give you another round of teasing.

She wanted to say "It's none of your business" with a cold face, but she swallowed the words back.

The matter of my older brother is not something I can discuss with other acquaintances; neither Qingque nor Jingyuan can.

As for the person in front of her, although his identity was awkward, at least he kept his mouth shut, and she really didn't know how to face her older brother.

Fu Xuan remained silent for a long while before finally speaking, his voice sounding somewhat awkward and unnatural:

"I have a friend who met someone a long time ago, and now we're going to meet."

But I'm not sure if he remembers me. What should I do if he has forgotten?

Kafka smiled and didn't expose that this friend was Fu Xuan himself.

She simply replied gracefully:

"If he has forgotten, then let's get to know each other again."

If he remembers, then tell him you remember too.

Either outcome is better than standing still and getting stuck in a rut.

Aren't you people from the Taipusi (Taipingsi) the most superstitious about fate?

Since fate has brought you together again, it means there's still an unfinished bond between you.

Fu Xuan remained silent for a long time before finally turning around to look at Kafka, his irritation and confusion having mostly subsided.

He regained some of the aloofness and dignity that the Grand Diviner should have possessed.

"You, a Star Core Hunter, are quite adept at persuasion. Thank you."

Kafka bowed slightly, her lips still curved into that elegant smile:

"You're welcome. If you have any more concerns in the future, please feel free to come and talk to me anytime."

Fu Xuan didn't reply, but she silently went over Kafka's words in her mind several times.

Either outcome is better than standing still and getting stuck in a rut.

Then I won't dwell on it.

When he arrives, first ask him about those photos, then decide whether to scold him, beat him, or hang him from a tree.

He glanced at the time on his phone screen; the Star Train should be arriving soon.

Said that Cao Cao Cao Cao arrived.

Fu Xuan had just finished mentally processing Kafka's words.

Looking out from outside the formation, they heard Qingque's familiar voice, which was almost excessively attentive than usual:

"My Lord, I have completed the handover of the Star Train and have come to report back!"

All the distinguished guests of the Star Train have arrived safely in Tabusi, and the journey was smooth and unimpeded.

When we were trying to enter the main gate, the lock got stuck again, and it was Commander Yuan Jing who helped us unlock it.

Commander Yuan Jing is indeed worthy of being personally selected by the Grand Diviner; he is outstanding in ability and efficient in handling affairs.

Your subordinate is utterly impressed. The Grand Diviner truly possesses discerning eyes, keen insight, and unparalleled wisdom!

As Qingque spoke, she strode in, still blowing on the wind:

"And there's Commander Yuan Jing's pass token, which is several times more efficient than the ones we usually use."

The Grand Diviner is not only discerning, insightful, and wise, but also truly…”

She realized halfway through her sentence that she had already used the phrase "wise and mighty," so she quickly changed it to another word.

"The leadership is truly excellent!"

My reverence for you, Master Taibu, is like the boundless, endless expanse of the Starry Sea!

Fu Xuan was stunned for a moment by her sudden barrage of praise.

She snapped out of her reverie and said, "Qingque, get to the point."

"The important thing is that everyone from the Star Train has been brought here, and Commander Yuan Jing has also returned."

Qingque immediately became more reserved.

She secretly glanced up to observe the expression on the Grand Diviner's face.

Secretly, I hoped that the lavish praise I received earlier would at least salvage some of the positive impression I had made.

After all, she had taken off her panties in front of the Grand Diviner and said so many outrageous things.

Thinking of this, she quickly looked away, focusing her gaze on her nose and keeping her mind at ease, standing ramrod straight.

Fu Xuan looked past Qing Que and at the group of people behind her.

Walter nodded to her, while March 7th stood on tiptoe, curiously observing the light emanating from the Qiong Guan Zhen array.

Xing still hadn't taken off her sunglasses, and Qi Ye stood at the back pretending to admire the murals of the Taipusi Temple.

Then her gaze settled on Jing Yuan.

Jingyuan was holding a little girl with white hair in his arms.

The child, who looked to be about seven or eight years old, with delicate features, was tugging at Jing Yuan's collar and looking around curiously.

Fu Xuan stared at the child for a long time, then looked at Jing Yuan's loving smiling face.

This guy not only went out shopping, but he also kidnapped someone's child?

Is this a burst of maternal love?

Moreover, she is now a civil advisor to the Apostolic Bureau, nominally his subordinate.

It was perfectly reasonable for the Grand Diviner to publicly reprimand his subordinate for abandoning his post, and no one could say anything about it.

"Yuan Jing"

She spoke, but her voice was soft.

But every word carried a superior's authority that sent chills down the spines of everyone present.

Jing Yuan's composed smile froze for a moment.

She recognized the tone; it was how Fu Xuan usually spoke to her.

She had no choice but to put the small mirror she was holding on the ground and pat her head.

Then he walked up to Fu Xuan, bowed slightly, and responded respectfully:

"What are your orders, Your Excellency?"

"How have you handled the official duties I assigned you?"

Fu Xuan stood with his hands behind his back.

"I sent you to assist the Star Train in capturing Kafka. Now that you've caught her, have you prepared the follow-up documents?"

Has the preparation for the interrogation process been followed up?

"I heard you lingered on Chang Le Street for quite some time. Have you finished all your official business?"

As she spoke, she glanced again at Xiao Jingliu, who was standing beside Jingyuan's legs, curiously looking around.

"And who is this little boy? You went out on official business, why did you bring back a child?"

The Grand Divination Office is not a child-rearing agency; Yuan Jing was the advisor.
