Hearing this result, Qingque nodded in satisfaction. Oh—Mingyue, she also really likes this diviner... Wait a minute?
Mingyue? ...It's Mingyue, right? It's Mingyue, right?
Suddenly snapping out of her daze, Qingque stared at the gazes fixed on her and the astonished looks on the faces of the three diviners, and froze.
The girl pointed to herself with an incredulous expression:
"...I?"
"Grand...Grand Diviner, you're not mistaken, are you?!"
"How could it be me!"
"No mistake, it's you, Qingque." Fu Xuan's tone was quite serious on the other end of the Yu Zhao communication.
In response, Qingque attempted to refute the following:
"But...but I'm just a lowly diviner! You know me, Your Excellency, how could I possibly shoulder such a great responsibility?"
"Luofu has no rule that says a diviner cannot act as a proxy diviner."
"I have seen your performance all day long. Your ability and character are both excellent. The only thing that worries me is your lazy nature. But after your efforts yesterday, I have felt your determination to turn over a new leaf. Therefore, I have decided to appoint you as the acting Grand Diviner of the Grand Divination Bureau."
Without waiting for a reply, Fu Xuan solemnly addressed the diviners of the Imperial Divination Office, saying loudly:
"From this day forward, Qingque will be the acting Grand Diviner of the Grand Diviner Bureau. During my recuperation, he will be in full charge of the Grand Diviner position. You all must do your best to assist him in familiarizing himself with and fulfilling his duties as acting Grand Diviner. If anything goes wrong, I will not forgive him once I find out. Jingzhai, you are the one I trust the most. I hope you can help Qingque become familiar with the many matters of the Grand Diviner."
"Yes, I will certainly live up to your expectations."
"Ahem... I'm feeling unwell, I'll rest now... Qingque, I'll leave the Grand Divination Office to you."
After he finished speaking, the image of Yu Zhao went out.
Qingque remained rooted to the spot, and no matter how much Que'er imagined it, she never expected things to turn out this way.
I... somehow became a fortune teller's agent?
"Injustice...injustice! Lord Diviner...that wasn't me yesterday at all!"
The girl, who had been standing there, looked utterly dejected, as if her entire world had collapsed.
Absolutely! Even Dou E couldn't have been more wronged than herself!
"Please, Lord Qingque."
She desperately wanted to escape, but there was no escape—Jingzhai had silently blocked Qingque's retreat, bowing slightly to the diviner's case.
Although she didn't quite understand why the Grand Diviner chose Qingque and felt somewhat regretful, Jingzhai was very conscientious compared to Mingyue, who was skilled in interpersonal relationships. Since the Grand Diviner entrusted her to guide and take care of the acting Grand Diviner in adapting to official duties, she would do as she was told.
As for the rest, she didn't care.
The dispersed diviners discussed amongst themselves, while Huixing and Mingyue exchanged glances, sighed, and did not think of anything else.
Although they had been secretly vying for power all these years, they never expected such an outcome.
But that’s fine too.
As long as it's not their rival taking over, they're all quite satisfied with Qingque... this child.
She has excellent social skills and is very cute, which is why Mingyue admires her.
That optimistic outlook on life is something that Bu Huixing also agrees with.
Only Jingzhai, though disagreeing with Qingque's work attitude, was impressed by the abilities of this young diviner.
It can be said that everyone in the Taibu Si (a government office) actually submits to Qingque.
She just really loves to display things.
No one could have imagined that this 'salted fish' could rise from a lowly fortune teller to become a senior diviner.
However, it's not surprising. Considering that the diviner usually took good care of Qingque, it's likely that the diviner already had plans at that time.
While the two diviners were performing their duties, Qingque, who had been pressed onto Fu Xuan's desk, looked at the mountain of documents with a pained expression.
How could things become like this!
It was supposed to be a wonderful holiday, a perfect time for relaxation and leisure, a perfect day to slack off... how did it turn out like this!
No! Even if I die, I want to die knowing why!
Qingque, filled with grief and indignation, began to review yesterday's official records—and immediately saw Qingque's on-duty information.
I was late, I worked... and then... I completed nearly three months' worth of work.
Seeing the assessment of three months' worth of work, Que'er's eyes widened—she couldn't hold back any longer.
"Three...three months?!"
When Qingque saw the evaluation record, she was completely dumbfounded.
This...this...birth!
It's so numb! Qingque thought that even if that guy did a good job, it would probably be around this level, at least still within the realm of human, right? But this... this isn't human at all! Could it be that the Celestial Venerable of Universal Knowledge created an alternate account to tease me, Qingque?!
Just as Qingque was stunned by the sheer volume of work—the diviners arrived one after another, placing a pile of files in front of her and speaking:
"Lord Qingque, since you have been chosen by Lord Fu Xuan as the acting Grand Diviner, we will now hand over these official duties left behind yesterday to you."
In the Imperial Divination Office, diviners were often only responsible for timely divination.
The diviner was responsible for reviewing, approving, and correcting errors.
As for the final diviner, he not only serves as the final reviewer, but also handles important data that must be personally processed to ensure accuracy. He also reviews personnel, financial and other management issues within the diviner's office. Furthermore, because the diviner's office plays a special role among the six offices of the immortal ship, it needs to provide development advice to other departments, and many calculations are also handled by the diviner's office.
For these reasons, the workload of the Grand Preceptor was the most arduous, second only to that of the Divine Strategy Office.
Now, Qingque not only experienced the workload of the Grand Diviner, but also—because she was a diviner yesterday—the files and calculation results processed by 'Qingque' would be submitted to Qingque again for a second review after the diviner's review.
Upon discovering this, Qingque turned ashen-faced, yet remained serene.
As for me, I'm probably destined to be possessed by a demon.
——Chat group
Playing cards like crazy: You did a great job, you did a great job, Jiang Qiao!!! @Jiang Qiao @Jiang Qiao @Jiang Qiao @Jiang Qiao!!! Gritting teeth.jpg
Group members gathered around to watch.
Jiang, who noticed the group message, smiled nonchalantly.
Having accomplished his task, he dusted off his clothes and departed, concealing his identity and name.
No need for thanks, just call me Huo██!
Turning his gaze away from the chat group, he looked at the girl's delicate face in the mirror. Her silky white hair, as smooth as Dove chocolate, slipped through her fingers, forming a ribbon that concealed her shapely and alluring sensitive areas.
The starlight glittering between his fingers dissipated around him, transforming into an outer garment woven from black, white, and bright yellow—the Sky Ranger.
Turning her head to gaze at the empty pod that symbolized Bronya, Kiana fell into a brief moment of thought.
The distant salt lake base—
"...Where am I?"
Wearing rather thin clothes, Bronya looked around the empty corridor with a slightly wary and bewildered expression.
As a large-scale simulation device, in order to provide the Heroic Memories with an environment that is more like 'living', it contains a 'physiological system' that is no different from reality—sleep is naturally one of them.
Although the hibernation pods outside are sufficient to provide physiological rest for those who enter Paradise, the mental exhaustion caused by the trials within cannot be compensated for by the hibernation pods. Therefore, they lead lives in Paradise that are no different from those outside.
Duck remembers that she was sleeping and having a beautiful dream of reuniting with Seele.
As a result, when he woke up, he found himself in a strange room.
The strange feeling in her body made Ya Ya realize that she was not in paradise at this moment.
But she clearly remembered that her body was placed in the hibernation pod.
The strange occurrences filled Bronya with doubt, and she also warily examined the base—it looked exactly like the base of a special organization she had visited when she was still the Ural Silver Wolf. Therefore, it was hard for Bronya not to wonder if she had been taken to some strange place without realizing it.
groping around, groping around.
Meanwhile, Seele, who had started a new day, hummed a childhood lullaby, feeling incredibly happy.
It's another brand new day, another beautiful day, and I'll get to see Bronya again... Sigh... Thinking of this, Seele felt a little regretful.
Although 'Bluebird Duck' is quite interesting, she still definitely prefers the real 'Bronya' from before.
...Substitute shifts, that's really strange.
Such an important matter, and Bronya didn't even say a word to me.
She felt a little dissatisfied, but Seele was also praying that this so-called 'substitute' would end soon and that her real 'Bronya' sister would return to her side as soon as possible.
Thinking this, she saw the figure she had been longing for as she turned a corner.
Hey—it's Bronya!
The latter, however, froze on the spot the moment he saw the girl with the bob haircut.
"..."
Bronya stared blankly at Seele, who was so close to her, her mind completely blank.
Xi... Xi'er?
