Honkai Impact 3rd, but I have too many mods.

(...Or, why not just push the old lady Taibu into the fire pit?)

Qingque's thoughts darkened for a moment.

(No, no, this can't be called a fire pit; it's about finding a final resting place for the old fortune teller!)

“I know that Feixiao initially recommended Qingque. Although Qingque’s recommendation of me might seem like she’s shirking responsibility… I do not object to the position of historian. If you don’t mind, Qingque can come and assist me.”

Fu Xuan ultimately still favored Qing Que.

I'm even more optimistic about it now.

Fu Xuan pondered that Qing Que seemed to have been bullied, so it would be better for her to return to her command.

At least she'll be safe and sound, and she can also teach Qingque a few things. Once she kicks Jingyuan out, Qingque's succession as the Grand Diviner will be more legitimate.

Hmm... that's roughly equivalent to taking on an apprentice.

If she hadn't rebelled and come to Luofu back then, she would have succeeded as the Jade Palace Diviner.

Fu Xuan's plan was excellent; one could even say he had arranged everything perfectly for Qing Que.

but……

"Bluebird? What do you think?"

"Um..."

Qingque's smile was stiff.

Oh no, things have inexplicably gone from pushing Fu Xuan into the fire to being dragged down by Fu Xuan.

And this is something that... is also hard to refuse!

Even though Qingque now realizes that her seemingly gentle and considerate boss, Emerald, is a super devil, Emerald's authority in her heart is still no match for Fu Xuan.

"Of course...we're fine with it!"

Liu Bai: "..."

Are you two serious?

Liu Bai rubbed his forehead.

Or perhaps I should manually change the scope of my job responsibilities.

We just need to guard against a few individuals causing trouble.

"In that case, Lord Liu Bai, where is our office?"

"Um...you can work in the bedroom, the bedrooms here are quite big—is anyone here! Let's get a bedroom for the newcomers!"

As soon as Liu Bai finished speaking, the shadow under the table began to wriggle, but the next moment a beautiful leg in purple silk stepped it back down.

"They just happen to be free."

"..."

Kafka's adorable hand gesture, coupled with her seemingly unfocused eyes... gave Liu Bai an ominous feeling.

But... it seems like no one else around here has time right now.

Qingque was still unaware of the specifics of his thoughts.

"Then... I'll leave it to you, Kafka. If you do a good job, you'll get a reward tonight."

"...Then I'll definitely be looking forward to it!"

-

"This is your room, Miss Fu Xuan."

Kafka pointed to the room in front of her and began to speak.

Qingque: "..."

Qingque looked at the room in front of her, her expression turning pale.

She knew that even if Liu Bai specifically emphasized it, Kafka would still cause some trouble!

This……

This is Liu Bai's room, for crying out loud!

"Oh?"

Fu Xuan was clearly unaware of this and took the initiative to push the door open and enter.

Qingque felt that she had to seize the opportunity to raise her objections.

Otherwise, she really would become a little sparrow by the bedside!

"This room..."

Fu Xuan looked around at the room's layout.

Is this room occupied?

The room was very nice; the blankets were neatly arranged, and the room was spotless. It was clear that the person who cleaned the room took great care of housework.

It could even be described as pouring one's heart and soul into it.

The room was cozy and warm, clearly not the kind of room that had been empty for a long time.

Fu Xuan even felt that the kettle on the table could be filled with hot water at a suitable temperature at any time.

"Well..."

Kafka nodded her chin with a slight look of distress.

This is really troublesome; she never expected Rita to have tidied the room so well.

It's made it harder for her to play pranks on people.

Well, Kafka really didn't pay attention to any of that, since most of the time she was in Liu Bai's room her mind was blank and her body was sweating profusely.

Well... although including the last time she joined in the fun, she has only spent the night with Liu Bai twice in total, one of which was at Ye Lan's teahouse.

"That's because our maid is very competent~ Surely the place where we receive foreign guests isn't only cleaned up when guests arrive?"

“That’s… indeed.”

Fu Xuan still felt that something was not quite right, but he couldn't quite put his finger on it.

Moreover, she didn't think it was necessary for Kaffa to target her, a newcomer, against Liu Bai's orders—even though she did dislike Kaffa.

Even so, Fu Xuan remained polite, after all, they were all adults.

Therefore, Fu Xuan could not find a reason why he would be tricked by Kafka.

Meanwhile, Qingque, who knew that Kafka was just ripping people off for fun...

Dare not say.

Re-uploaded files.

Re-uploaded files, re ...

Re-uploaded files, re ...

Kaffa is capable of such heinous acts!

This guy is clearly enjoying the thrill of toying with his prey!

After Kafka saw Fu Xuan get away, she immediately began to divert Fu Xuan's attention.

"Please look at the bookshelves over here. This place was previously used as a temporary archive, so there are quite a few historical documents on the shelves. I'm sure they can be of great help to you, Master."

"Have a heart."

Fu Xuan glanced at the bookshelf and nodded in satisfaction.

Fu Xuan reached out and took out a document, which was a report on expenditures... Hmm, not bad.

Fu Xuan went around again and checked the bedding, but found nothing wrong.

(Looks like even if I'm in a different place, I can finally get a good night's sleep.)

Fu Xuan felt that he didn't need to worry about not adapting to the environment at all.

Qingque: "..."

Qingque looked at Kafka with fear as she smiled smugly behind Fu Xuan.

That smile...

"The prey has taken the bait"—that's absolutely the only meaning!

-

While Kafka was plotting to harm the Immortal Boat Diviner, Liu Bai...

Settling accounts with Toppa.

"Topa~"

"..."

Toppa acted as if he hadn't heard.

"Topa~"

"..."

Topa seemed determined not to reply.

...It's just like a child throwing a tantrum.

I want to rub Toppa's face...

Liu Bai looked intently at Topa, whose face slowly turned red during this time.

(No, don't look at me like that...)

My heart is pounding...

Or...should I just apologize a little...?

While Toppa hesitated, Liu Bai's gaze suddenly disappeared from her.

"Jade, come here and take a look at this for me."

"Hmm? Is there anything you don't understand?"

Wait a minute, why are you staring at me before going to chat with Senior Jade?

……

“I see… It’s all thanks to you, Emerald.”

"It's alright, it's my duty."

Huh?! What? What do you mean by "thanks to you being here"? You two, how can you say such ambiguous things?!

"After all, Toppa is still young, so it's understandable that some parts of his writing are not very clear."

Wait a minute—!? It's still my file?! What did I write that I didn't understand?!

"That's true... Compared to that... well, there shouldn't be any more documents to process today, right?"

How's the comparison going? Tell me!

Toppa's eyes unconsciously glanced towards Liu Bai, but he didn't dare to make any big movements, for fear that Liu Bai would see him.

—Just as Liu Bai thought, "He's acting like a child."

"Indeed. Would you like a glass? I've always thought that having a glass of red wine after work is a wonderful thing."

Jade's smiling voice carried a hint of seduction.

"Oh... so it seems I've noticed you have a drink after work every day."

Indeed, Jade is the kind of elite woman who seems perfect in our minds.

"Sure, I'll have a drink too."

(Fei, senior jadeite expert! How could you do something so shameless! You actually invited...)

Well, having a drink after work doesn't seem like a shameless thing to do.
