Chapter 7

~7 min read 1,301 words

"The Sky-Faring Commission checked all star-skiff boarding records near the Divination Commission within one system hour, and found no information about Qingque. Even..."

"There is no boarding information from two system hours ago?"

After receiving this news, Fu Xuan was stunned.

No, there is none from the last system hour, I'll treat it as you going to slack off; there is none from two system hours ago, then how did you, Qingque, come to the Divination Commission today?

Could it be that you didn't leave after work?

Stayed at the Divination Commission to work overtime?

And added a whole night?

7. Shock! After Qingque's Mara-Struck manifested, it turned out to be...

After concluding that Qingque might have worked overtime for a whole night, Fu Xuan's first reaction was absurdity.

She would rather believe that the Ambrosial Arbor would be reborn than believe that Qingque would work overtime.

This is simply an impossible thing.

Since that's the case, it's impossible for Qingque to have spent the night at the Divination Commission.

Then the question arises.

How did she come to the Divination Commission in the morning?

Thinking of Qingque mentioning just now that she had arrived early, just that her stomach was uncomfortable, so she was delayed in the restroom, it couldn't be...

There is a teleportation toilet in the public restroom of the Divination Commission, right?

The more Fu Xuan speculated, the uglier her face became.

It's not that she wants to think this way, but guessing "teleportation toilet" is more credible than Qingque working overtime.

Moreover, she has read the book "Interstellar Curio Record."

It does record a magical toilet that can teleport people away after pressing the flush button.

"It shouldn't be such a coincidence."

"Although curios are not unique, that kind of curio, I think, is not common, and that magical toilet couldn't have run over by itself..."

"But if so, what else could make Qingque not need to take a star-skiff?"

A bold and bad possibility rose in Fu Xuan's heart.

Could it be...

Did this seat really calculate wrong?

To verify the conjecture, Fu Xuan collected information again.

Soon.

Information corroborating the conjecture entered Fu Xuan's eyes, making her eyes go dark instantly.

【Diviner Qingque is suspected of falling into Mara-Struck, growing wings, capable of flying with her physical body; the following is the footage captured by the mechanical bird, click to view details】

【Diviner Qingque appeared at the Sanctus Medicus's No. 2 stronghold at the Alchemy Commission yesterday evening.】

【Diviner Qingque has entered and exited a shop opened by an outworlder many times in recent months, with close financial dealings, or perhaps there are unspeakable transactions; please have the office deacon investigate thoroughly】

【A shopkeeper of an outworlder in Aurum Alley is hiding his identity. According to our investigation, the shop opened by this person has sparse traffic and has long been unable to make ends meet, but it still maintains operations, and has been in close contact with Diviner Qingque in recent months, suspected of having unspeakable secrets. But because his identity is sensitive and has a great relationship with members of the Interastral Peace Corporation, the Boshixue Society, and the Genius Society, our department requests higher-level departments to come forward to coordinate and communicate. ——Balance Commission·Exalted Sanctum Office·Aurum Alley Area Report.】

……

"Qingque!"

"You actually really..."

Fu Xuan's pretty face was flushed with anger, and she became uncharacteristically uneasy.

Although it still cannot be 100% determined that Qingque has joined the Sanctus Medicus, her recent abnormalities are enough to show that she has a ghost in her heart.

With such thoughts, Fu Xuan sent law enforcement applications to other departments with a cold face.

"Qingque, I hope you haven't fallen too deep."

"If you are really a disciple of the Sanctus Medicus, this seat can't save you either."

"As for that outworlder..."

……

"Bang!"

"Hu-la!"

In the Celestial Jade parlor in Exalted Sanctum, a joyful sound came.

Qingque is not tall, but when holding the Di-Yuan Celestial Jade tiles, she always makes people unable to ignore her existence.

Look, she just won the game, and people outside the parlor gathered around.

It's just that their attire is not very casual, wearing helmets and armor.

"What Hu-la? Diviner Qingque, I think you are almost finished!" A deacon of the Balance Commission, with two Cloud Knights, suddenly broke into the parlor and said loudly.

"Ah?"

Qingque almost couldn't hold the tiles in her hand, dumbfounded.

"Did I commit a crime?"

"Humph!" The deacon of the Balance Commission said coldly, "Still pretending to be unaware here? Qingque! Your matter has been exposed! Come with us to the Balance Commission for a trip! If you refuse to cooperate, don't blame us for being impolite! After interrogation, you will be sent to the Prison!"

"No... I..."

Qingque was still dumbfounded, "Since when is slacking off a crime? Or is playing cards considered gathering for gambling? I admit that I restored the Di-Yuan Celestial Jade tiles! But there's no need to go to jail for this!"

"What is all this!"

The deacon of the Balance Commission didn't want to argue with Qingque anymore and took out an official document, which clearly wrote an arrest warrant, signed by the four commissions (Balance Commission, Sky-Faring Commission, Divination Commission, Ten-Lords Commission) jointly, and even stamped with an official seal.

As a member of the system, Qingque could see at a glance that the document was real.

But what dumbfounded her was that the reason for the arrest was that she might be colluding with the Sanctus Medicus and needed to be brought back for investigation.

What dumbfounded her even more was that it's fine for the Balance Commission to participate.

Why did the Divination Commission also participate?

Was Diviner Master sidelined?

The most fatal thing is that the Ten-Lords Commission is also among them.

Qingque has been to the office location of the Ten-Lords Commission; it was gloomy, and she didn't dare to stay long.

If she went there as a prisoner this time, even if she cleared her grievances in the end, she was afraid she would leave a lifelong shadow.

Maybe she would fall into Mara-Struck one or two hundred years early because of this.

No!

She absolutely cannot be caught, at least not now.

She has to go find Diviner Master to ask clearly.

In the effort of a moment, Qingque thought clearly about the relationship and couldn't sit and wait for death.

Therefore, she could only run.

Fortunately, in the dimensional pocket, there are still a few "artifacts" for running away.

No sooner said than done, Qingque took out a curio and skillfully placed it on top of her head.

The next moment, before everyone could react, she suddenly soared into the sky and flew out of the Cloud Knight's encirclement.

The speed was so fast that everyone couldn't react in time.

It also shocked everyone.

Only that deacon of the Balance Commission could calmly report upwards:

"Report! The intelligence is wrong! Diviner Qingque's Mara-Struck manifestation is not wings on her back, but a propeller on her head!"

……

(Seeking flowers, seeking evaluation)

8. Fu Xuan: Is there a curio that can drink Star-Yue Bobo infinitely?

Qingque slipped away very quickly.

It wasn't until she disappeared without a trace that someone reacted.

Then there were exclamations one after another.

"My goodness! Mara-Struck manifested a propeller? This is the first time since the Xianzhou has records! I've also witnessed history!"

"I've only heard of Mara-Struck transformation, where branches might grow on the body, or arms might grow, but I didn't expect there to be this form of expression!"

"I just told a netizen from Zhu-Ming about this, and they didn't believe it; did anyone take a photo? Send me one, let the people of Zhu-Ming open their eyes too!"
