She wanted to speak up, but suddenly froze. Su remembered that she had become a beautiful girl, and Kiana didn't recognize her at all. As for revealing herself—although her personality was somewhat different from Kevin's, Su, who already had feelings for the girl in front of her, was too embarrassed to say it—"Hey, hello, I'm Su."
This is so embarrassing!
And if that were the case, wouldn't I have absolutely no chance?
Hmm... it seems like I no longer have the 'opportunity'.
Subconsciously ignoring this sad matter, Su instinctively chose to keep it a secret. He didn't even plan to tell Kevin, after all, given Kevin's personality, who knows how he would tease him if he knew he had turned into a girl. Besides, what if Kiana found out about his big mouth?
A flurry of thoughts flashed through her mind in that brief moment. The girl coughed lightly twice, her voice natural:
"Miss Kiana, how are you feeling?"
There's no need to worry about the name; after all, as a doctor, knowing a patient's medical history and name is not difficult.
"Cough cough... I'm fine... that doctor..."
"Ok?"
"What's your name?"
Su found the question a little strange and instinctively wanted to answer, but thankfully she reacted in time and mumbled:
"Oh, this... Hello, I'm Vita, a new intern at this hospital."
"Oh, is that so? What a coincidence. I have a friend who's also an intern... Oh, I think it's this hospital? Do you know him? His name is Su."
Upon hearing this, the gray-haired girl remained calm, but her heart was filled with joy—a friend, she considers me a friend!
I thought my previous rash actions would cause a stalemate in our relationship, but it turns out that Kiana still considers me a friend in private!
Even with Su's personality, she was unusually excited—if they were in a quieter place, she might have jumped up and down to express her feelings.
However, to avoid Kiana thinking she was the reckless type, she pretended to be surprised:
"So you're my cousin's friend?!"
"Huh—?"
"You're Su's cousin...?"
The white-haired girl looked surprised—she didn't doubt the similarity in their identities, after all, Su hadn't mentioned her family situation, and in reality...
Examining 'Vita's' appearance, she does indeed resemble Sue very much... If he hadn't been blinded, Kevin might have discovered this much sooner.
I'm a little annoyed—that Su guy, he had such a beautiful cousin and didn't even tell me!
If I had met them sooner, I definitely wouldn't have gone to the Far East!
"Hmm~"
The gray-haired girl smiled, a smile so radiant that it captivated the white-haired girl lying on the hospital bed. Then she said, "I've heard about you from my cousin. He told me that you're about my age and we'd definitely have a lot in common. He said he'd introduce you to me sometime, and I never expected to meet you today."
With a touch of emotion, Miss 'Vita'—Su—opened her eyes wide and began to fabricate a story, refusing to lie.
He himself never imagined that he could be so good at bluffing.
Miss Kiana seemed to believe it, nodding happily, then asked curiously, "What about Su?"
"My cousin..."
"What's wrong with him?!" Kevin, who was close to Su, couldn't help but ask as he looked at the gray-haired girl with a somewhat subtle expression. This anxious look made Miss 'Vita' secretly pleased—it was the first time Su had ever felt this way.
I'm overjoyed—as expected, Kiana has feelings for me!
On the surface, the gray-haired girl rested her chin on her hand and sighed:
"It's nothing, it's just that the medical system is under a lot of strain lately. My cousin was transferred to Eastern Europe and probably won't be able to come back for a long time."
Upon hearing this, Kevin had one thought in his mind.
—Seriously?!
If it were before, he would have felt somewhat 'reluctant' to part with Su, since in his current situation, his good brother seemed to be the only person he could talk to.
After meeting Sue's cousin 'Vita', Kevin's only thought was - stay away from me, don't bother me while I'm flirting with girls!
If the other person were here, she would be in a difficult position, since her good friend had actually had feelings for her, and now that he's gone...
This is a golden opportunity!
Huh, MEI? Please stay away from me, I'm afraid Vita will misunderstand!
...
Dan Shu was having a headache—she seemed completely unable to find a way to get 'Qing Que' away.
According to her understanding, this child named Qingque should have been a lazy person. Basically, whenever someone asked her to play cards, she would happily run away.
Knowing this weakness, she directly sent a secret message to her subordinates who were the secret disciples of the Medicine King, thinking they would come forward and invite Qingque to play cards. The result was: No, I don't want to play cards recently.
...This is truly unbelievable.
Dan Shu decided to deal with those subordinates who gave him false information later.
Helplessly watching the two girls, one big and one small, leave—'Qingque' even politely declined Fu Xuan's arrangement for a 'medical consultation,' after all, Jiang himself knew the situation well, and there was a little doctor right next to him, wasn't there? The name of the Medicine-Carrying Dragon Girl was so famous that even Fu Xuan had to admit her superb skills—General Jingyuan often sought her medical help.
"Hey—it's quite lively over there, let's go take a look." Bai Lu walked ahead happily. As a 'pretend dragon lord', she was always guarded by the guards and ladies-in-waiting sent by the elders of the Vidyadharas... no, it was more like confinement than guarding.
In the Dan Ding Division, there were hardly any people willing or qualified to play with her.
Now that 'Qingque' has taken the initiative to play along, the child is overjoyed.
"Okay."
In response, she pushed through the crowd, placed Bailu on her shoulder, and her clear, lively voice rang in my ears:
"Don't miss out! Come see my amazing juggling performance! Ladies and gentlemen, if you have money, please support me financially; if you have money, please show your support by showing your presence!"
In the arena, a beautiful young woman with bright orange hair stood among a pile of juggling equipment, holding a gong in one hand and a stick in the other, shouting loudly, looking full of energy.
"Today, we're going to perform a 'fire hoop jumping' acrobatic act for all of you, our esteemed audience."
"Okay~"
Hearing the cheers of the girl Bailu on his shoulder, Qingque, who had taken in all of this, looked at the girl who was juggling a bowl on her head.
—Guinafen, also known as Guinevere, was originally the youngest daughter of the Duke of Camelot. Due to the invasion of the Antimatter Legion, her family was destroyed and she was forced to wander. Later, she and her brother, who was a space pirate, were captured by the company and handed over to the Immortal Boat Alliance after they hijacked a merchant ship of the Immortal Boat Alliance. The Immortal Boat Alliance, moved by her plight, pardoned her death sentence and sent Gui Naifen, as a family member, to the academy for education. After growing up, she became a street performer in Luofu and was a well-known abstract artist in Luofu.
According to this body's memories, after losing at mahjong, Qingque would run to Gui Naifen's place to watch her perform acrobatics. Of course... the awkward thing is that Qingque basically watched Gui Naifen's acrobatics for free.
It's not that I'm stingy, it's just that after losing so much money, I couldn't even find half a cent in my pockets to tip.
Of course, Gui Naifen was more of a source of amusement for Jiang Qiao. Even he had to admit that her amazing skills, such as catching bullets with her bare hands, eating noodles upside down, and whistling while brushing her teeth, were truly top-notch.
It even made him want to go up on stage and perform some of the little magic tricks he learned from Wilville.
However, rather than seeking amusement, Jiang Qiao was more focused on contemplation—
Undoubtedly, now that he has given up on the work he doesn't need to worry about during his vacation, he is more focused on dealing with the 'resurrection of Jianmu' disaster that will follow.
Judging from the timeline, Jiang Qiao judged that it would still be some time before that old bastard Deng and the Empress Dowager arrived in Luofu with the Star Core. According to information from the Interstellar Peace Company, the Star Dome Train was still at the Tech An Stadium. It was foreseeable that the certain pink ball spirit was probably working to pay off his debts at the moment... Hmm, Jiang Qiao was still quite interested in that future old Yang.
The most urgent task is to deal with the group of 'Secret Disciples of the Medicine King' hiding in the shadows of the Immortal Ship.
Reporting directly to the Earth Balance Division and the Divine Strategy Bureau is certainly a straightforward solution, but the Medicine King's Secret Lineage is an extremely large organization. Even if it is actually just a "showpiece" in reality, if it cannot deliver a fatal blow, then even capturing "Dan Shu," the leader of the Medicine King's Secret Lineage, will be of no use. Moreover, Jiang Qiao will not view the current Luofu Immortal Ship in the same way as in the game.
The two are not comparable in scale.
After scaling up the figures year-on-year, the number of people lured by the secret teachings of the Medicine King will also increase year-on-year.
Although the diviners of the Grand Diviner's Office could indeed use divination to warn the Shence Palace, perhaps because the time was not yet right—at least for now, even if she cheated, Jiang Qiao could not produce the 'Jianmu Rebirth' hexagram in advance—or rather, could not produce it completely, because the time was not yet right.
According to the operating rules of the Taibu Si, such incomplete 'divination' cannot pass the three-stage review process. Just like Ruoyue later, although she also obtained the Jianmu Rebirth divination, she was unable to give an exact time.
This even accelerated the divination by Fu Taibu to predict his departure.
As for fabricating a complete one out of thin air—all divinations of the Grand Diviner must ultimately undergo the deduction of the 'Great Evolution and Exhaustive Observation Array,' and only after they are accurate and without error will they be reported.
Even if Jiang Qiao personally told Fu Xuan about the unreliable information, the latter would not take it too seriously, since each department has its own operating rules and cannot be altered based on personal preferences.
In that case, I might as well take advantage of this holiday to buy it myself.
In Jiang Qiao's eyes, the 'Gui Naifen' in front of her was a very good 'helper'.
Of course—this does not refer to him personally.
His target was the Cloud Cavalry 'Su Chang', which Gui Naifen's friend had transferred from the Yaoqing Immortal Boat.
The Cloud Cavalry is a crucial weapon of the Immortal Ship. Although it may seem ordinary and can be seen standing guard in many places, their personnel transfers are extremely strict, perhaps to prevent rebellion or for some other reason. They can only be transferred with the approval of the Divine Strategy Bureau.
But Su Chang is different. She was transferred from Yao Qing and is considered to be a more open-minded type. She is the type who can 'abandon her post' under certain circumstances. In addition, she is not very bright and hates evil, making her perfect for dealing with the lurking 'Secret Medicine King' in private.
Of course, Jiang also had some personal thoughts on this.
After all, he was a veteran from the three-wheeled vehicle next door. Seeing the same Li Da Pillow, he couldn't help but feel a sense of kinship and wanted to help him whenever he had the chance. Now that there was a chance to make a contribution, he could drag him along to rack up some "merits". He couldn't very well make it look like "a diviner from the Taibu Si single-handedly cracked down on the remnants of the Medicine King who were hiding in the Luofu Immortal Ship and intended to cause trouble", could he?
If one person were to claim all that credit... tsk.
I have a feeling that something bad is going to happen.
Bai Lu on his shoulder was also one of Jiang's targets. He contacted her not only out of curiosity about the multiple destinies she possessed, but also because he thought that since they had met, he might as well bring her along.
After all, if you manage to rack up a lot of merits after the White Dew, then the elders of the Chiming Clan will have a real headache.
The hero who made great contributions to the Immortal Ship was imprisoned. You might say that in the past, the Shence Mansion had no choice but to intervene because this was an internal matter of the Chiming Clan, in order to avoid any taboo.
But if Elder Chiming does this again after that, Jiang Qiao believes that the general sitting in the Shence Mansion would not mind talking to those dark and pedantic elders of Chiming about it.
