"Um……"
Tingyun's expression was strange.
To be honest, she also felt that what Liu Bai did was a bit absurd.
After all, they were acting as if no one else was around, which was obviously bothering those around them.
But the problem is... shouldn't this dilemma be more about "kicking down the door or knocking on it"?
The real concerns should be about "changing rooms" and "the consequences of this trend spreading."
If Tingyun were in Aista's position, she would obviously smile at the newcomer next to her, then subtly change the topic and move to another room.
Estella looks like this...
(...Work has gotten mixed up with personal feelings. Tingyun felt she should probably smile?)
She's not a workaholic, nor is she heartless, so this situation is generally understandable.
There was no response from the room—clearly, Liu Bai didn't have time to deal with Aista.
Estelle didn't immediately get angry or anything; she just continued kicking the door at a leisurely pace.
The main focus is on harassment.
Finally, after kicking for ten or twenty minutes, the sound of the lock being opened could be heard at the door.
"...Please come in."
"excuse me."
Even though Tingyun was following behind Estella, she could clearly sense how dissatisfied Estella was despite her seemingly calm tone.
Estelle calmly pushed open the door.
As soon as they came in, the wind from the wide-open window blew all over Aista's face, and even Tingyun's tail fur got a little messed up.
"Did I disturb you?"
However, to Tingyun’s surprise, he felt that Aistar’s tone was slightly better.
—Of course, Estella thought that when she opened the door, she would smell a mixture of stench.
"……No."
Liu Bai straightened his collar.
Are you kidding me? You need to ask him that question?
"Is there something you need, Estella?"
"Just need to borrow a temporary office."
Estella took a deep look at the desk.
"After all, Miss Tingyun has just joined us, and there are some things she still needs to get familiar with."
"Oh...right, I think Jackdaw is also in an administrative position, right?"
Liu Bai pressed down on Rita's head.
“Yes, but Miss Raven is on vacation right now.” Estella nodded.
What's hidden under Liu Bai's table...? Never mind, I'm too lazy to investigate.
Continuing to pursue this will only make me angrier.
—Aesta regained a little of her senses.
"It's quite unexpected that you could sit in the office for so long today."
Estella avoided the water stains on the ground.
But some sarcasm and irony are still necessary.
However, it is clear that Estádio's "sarcasm and ridicule" were not very harmful.
"Of course it's because I haven't finished my work."
Liu Bai calmly raised his other hand from under the table.
“I have always used ‘getting it done’ as my standard.”
"Your dedication is truly admirable."
Estella rolled her eyes and then lifted her skirt slightly.
Here, this is today's portion.
"Oh, not bad."
"..."
This guy... he should look at the person he's talking to!
This perfunctory attitude... is infuriating.
Estella silently lowered her skirt.
"Ms. Tingyun, let me now explain the specific division of labor among our departments. You can then see which aspect of the work you are more confident in."
"Um... okay, thank you for your help, Miss Estádio."
Tingyun felt it was better not to get involved in their slightly twisted relationship.
Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.
Night.
"Tingyun, how have you been these past few days?"
During the meal, Feixiao pulled Tingyun along.
The two of them weren't very close, but there was one person they both knew well—Yu Kong.
So these two seem to be on the verge of becoming best friends here.
"It feels pretty good." Tingyun nodded with a smile.
"Oh...so you joined the marketing department?"
Fei Xiao thought that Ting Yun, who came from a business association, would probably prefer to deal with people from companies.
Not to mention that the person in charge there is one of the ten people from Shixin.
"No, I chose the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, and I've already ordered a maid outfit."
Tingyun shook her head, noticing Feixiao's confusion.
"To be honest, compared to the universe, the work pressure here is much less. There's no particular reason; it's just a place to live a peaceful life."
"Wow...that's really open-minded."
"On the contrary, General, you seem to be under more pressure, don't you?"
“...More or less.” Fei Xiao looked a little serious. “This place certainly doesn’t seem like the kind of place where we martial arts practitioners can live peacefully.”
With the current combat power under Liu Bai's command, he could dominate a hundred or so star systems in the universe and establish a stronghold without anyone daring to challenge him.
Feixiao's current thought process is similar to Huanlong's; they are already considering what lies behind it all.
Of the three envoys beside Liu Bai, these two were actually using their brains.
Huang Quan might have been thinking when he first arrived, but he's given up now.
—No matter what's behind it, as long as it's aimed at Liu Bai, she'll accept it all.
As long as she doesn't die, no one can hurt Liu Bai.
Of course, another point is that Huang Quan is a wanderer, and he doesn't have that many burdens on his shoulders.
"This target might involve related matters, right?" Tingyun also knew what the Sea of Quanta was.
Honestly, that sounds really powerful...
"Perhaps. We may have arrived a little late. Lord Liu Bai has already begun to face the greatest danger."
Feixiao does not make judgments about the enemy easily.
"Alright, let's change the subject. Tingyun, what do you think Lord Liu Bai is thinking?"
Feixiao asked this question.
Feixiao's overall impression of Liu Bai was quite good.
"In what aspect?" Tingyun tilted her head slightly.
If we're talking about Liu Bai, then there's certainly a lot to discuss.
"It's definitely not a private matter."
Feixiao first eliminated the most controversial part.
She was indeed not interested in this kind of consensual chaos.
She, Feixiao, is devoted to the public good!
"It's a matter of strategic direction...it's roughly..."
Feixiao was halfway through his sentence when, under Tingyun's smiling and kind gaze, he awkwardly put down the wine gourd and pushed it away from his side.
"Ahem, is the primary goal to escape the planet or to solve the problems behind the planet?"
"Well……"
Tingyun pondered Feixiao's words carefully.
I discovered that there's definitely more to it than meets the eye.
If you leave the planet, then you don't need to worry about its life or death.
The question is how to break through this universe while having several weakened envoys.
The known materials on this planet might make solving this problem difficult, but it's not impossible, especially given the unique nature of the Illusion ability.
If there are no "special things" at the boundary of this universe, or if it is a completely divided separate universe, then breakthroughs will be easy for researchers with just a little effort.
The biggest problem with this issue is that it's quite exploitative.
Solving the underlying issues... could be quite time-consuming and laborious, the waters are rather deep and frightening, and solving the problems might not necessarily help in escaping this universe.
But the advantage is that I have a clear conscience.
"...Lord Liu Bai is probably preparing to solve the problems of this universe."
After thinking for a moment, Tingyun slowly spoke.
Tingyun and Aistar reviewed the recent plans together.
The ultimate message of those plans was very simple—prepare for war!
spaceship?
Sorry, I haven't seen a single spaceship-related project proposal from Tingyun...
"That's it."
Feixiao looked relieved.
"...You're pleased about this?" Tingyun was slightly surprised.
She was actually prepared for Feixiao to accuse Liu Bai of putting the cart before the horse in their strategy.
"Of course, you could say that this is how I was saved by someone else."
…………
Late at night, Huang Quan walked up to Liu Bai, who was sitting at his desk.
"Aren't you sleeping yet?"
"Hmm... I have some urgent business to attend to." Bai rubbed his temples as he looked at the shock reports sent by Liyue and Inatsuki at the same time. "Mei, you should go to sleep first."
In private and in bed, Liu Bai would still call Huang Quan Mei—Liu Bai could sense that Huang Quan actually quite liked being called that.
"Is it related to the Sea of Quanta?"
"There is no direct evidence, but it has been preliminarily confirmed that the tremors are not related to geological factors such as crustal movement."
