Collapse Iron: The Five Heroes of the Clouds Won't Let Me Go

"General Jingyuan! Please speak with Senior Wangxu about how the position of Grand Diviner can be treated so lightly!"

Fu Xuan spoke sternly within the Divine Strategy Palace.

Jing Yuan, on the other hand, calmly flipped through the documents.

"Miss Fu Xuan, this is wonderful news! Don't you want to be a diviner?"

Fu Xuan gasped for breath, his cheeks puffed out and his face turned red.

"General! I am of limited knowledge and have just arrived in Luofu. Even if I am interested in the position of Grand Diviner, it should be through hard work and assessment, not through a joking appointment."

Jing Yuan stood up and clapped, his eyes narrowed with a smile like a large, malevolent white cat.

"Fu Qing is truly sincere and upright. With Fu Qing serving as the Grand Diviner to resolve my worries and difficulties, Luofu is safe!"

"General! Were you not even listening to me?!"

Jing Yuan waved his hand dismissively and said:

"There is indeed a test for the position of Grand Diviner, but according to Grand Diviner Wangxu, the diviner values ​​fate. Since he has recognized you as the new Grand Diviner, he must have his reasons."

Fu Xuan was furious and wanted to say something more, but Jing Yuan had already made up his mind.

"Fu Qing need not mention this matter again. The official seal of the Grand Diviner will be handed over to you immediately. I hope Fu Qing can share Luofu's burdens."

Faced with Jing Yuan's ruthlessness, Fu Xuan finally understood: Jing Yuan, you just want to find someone to take over your mess!

After all, the position of Grand Diviner in Luofu had been vacant for a long time, and Fu Xuan just happened to fall into the trap, becoming Jing Yuan's slave.

"General, you scoundrel!"

Jing Yuan smiled and reminded him:

"Since you have become the Grand Diviner, Fu Qing, your foundation is still unstable. You will need to work hard to gain the recognition of the other diviners."

Fu Xuan snorted coldly:

"I don't know who dumped this troublesome matter on me, humph! Since they want me to be the diviner, then just watch, this diviner is truly skilled!"

Jingyuan clapped again:

"Fu Qing is exceptionally talented and will surely be a great help in managing my immortal ship!"

Stop flattering me, you smiling tigress!

Fu Xuan truly deserves to be called a top disciple of Jing Tian Tai Bu. His understanding of divination and his personal abilities are both extremely strong.

Although there was some discussion about the newly arrived diviner in Luofu, they were quickly impressed by Fu Xuan's abilities.

Seeing that Fu Xuan had successfully fulfilled his duties as Grand Diviner, Jing Yuan was very pleased.

But Fu Xuan himself was very unhappy.

How did she gradually get used to the job?

No, she has to confront the person who started this!

So Fu Xuan, with the intention of questioning and seeking advice, found two men who were fishing.

The former general and former chief diviner of Luofu.

Teng Xiao elbowed Wang Xu in the waist and whispered:

"That girl's come looking for you, old man, haven't you thought about what to do yet?"

"Why don't I just act like a scoundrel?"

"Be careful, this girl is honest and talented. Don't drive her back to the Jade Palace."

"Don't worry, I know what I'm doing."

Fu Xuan looked at the two old men sitting in front of him with a complicated expression. One was a general and the other a diviner. Their retirement life was too undignified.

Facing the senior, Fu Xuan still obediently bowed and expressed his wish to speak with Wang Xu alone.

Wang Xu did not refuse, and after putting on sunglasses, he and Fu Xuan went to the pavilion on the lake.

Cups, saucers, and tea leaves were all provided, and Wang Xu showed off his tea-making skills.

Fu Xuan first got to the point.

"Is Senior Wangxu currently in charge of overseeing the Luofu Think Tank Library?"

"Yes, once you retire, you become idle and need to find something to do."

"Senior is on par with Master. I have some questions I would like to ask."

"Oh? Go ahead and tell me."

Fu Xuan took a deep breath and spoke the words of the patricide that he did not want to face.

"Then it is fate that this calamity is destined to befall you; there is no use in struggling against it."

"impossible!"

Fu Xuan slammed his fist on the table in frustration, wanting to refute, but the senior in front of him was no newborn calf; he was a true master of divination.

So the arrogant Fu Xuan became dejected again. Yes, she was not the first person to tell her about the predetermined nature of fate. Wasn't her original intention in coming to Luofu to escape?

Fu Xuan's tone softened:

"Then... since the predicted fate cannot be avoided, if I can calculate each step more precisely, can I gradually postpone all the tragedy and find the most accurate answer among all possibilities?"

"Ha, your thinking is exactly the same as Jingtian's, both naively trying to find the optimal solution in a given situation."

Wang Xu took a sip of tea and sighed:

"But this is a change in another world, how can it be perceived by the eyes of mortals? Even if we use the most exquisite formations and instruments, machines will have their limits, and humans will always have oversights."

Fu Xuan felt even more frustrated as he listened to Wang Xu's teachings.

"Senior! I hope to receive your help!"

"Me? Come on, I'm a useless person now, I can't help at all."

Fu Xuan refused to believe it and, mimicking his senior sister's methods, said:

"Senior Wangxu, I've shared the burden of being the diviner with you. At least for that reason, you should offer me some assistance, right?"

"How dare you threaten me!"

"If my master finds out what you've done, Senior Kokoro..."

"How can I help you?"

Fu Xuan gritted his teeth:

"A way to break the deadlock, or... a means to enhance my divination skills."

"Are you kidding me?!"

"What's my master's phone number again...?"

"Wait, wait, let's talk this out, please calm down."

Wang Xu wiped away a cold sweat and sighed.

"It's not that I'm unwilling to help you, but I've already exhausted my body by observing the secrets of heaven. Now I only have a few little treasures left. If I really want to help you, this is the only thing I can do."

A small purple crystal appeared in Wangxu's hand.

"This is?"

"This is the 【Three-Shallow Eye】, which can help you see the fleeting nature of all things and avoid being blinded by a single leaf. It is an eye engraved with countless arrays."

"If you embed it into your forehead bone, you will gain the ability to control your divine eye, and see through all illusions and falsehoods!"

Such a powerful treasure immediately tempted Fu Xuan.

But Wang Xu poured cold water on the idea once again.

"Remember, it's embedded! The immortal beings of the Immortal Ship have immortal bodies. After the Dharma Eye is embedded, the body will constantly reject foreign substances. The skin and flesh will grow and disappear, die and grow back. This thing is a treasure, but for the user, it's more like... a torture device."

"To use it and gain eyes to see further, you must endure suffering. Are you still willing to do so?"

Fu Xuan remained silent, then directly took away the Dharma Eye.

"Rather than watching my fate unfold helplessly, I want to have the ability to struggle, to do something, even if I fail, I won't regret it!"

The eye was implanted, a sharp pain shot through my brow, and a hole was opened in my forehead, leaving me with an extra external eye.

When the body feels torn and damaged, it begins to recover and reject the foreign substance.

The pain came quickly, and Fu Xuan groaned a few times, stubbornly refraining from crying out.

"You'll get used to it in a few days... This little bit of pain is nothing."
