Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Lu Ze walked down the streets of Changletian, his mind a jumbled mess.

He still couldn't understand it. He had clearly confessed everything, so where had he gone wrong?

If he keeps it from her, she'll be angry that he's not honest; if he does tell her, it'll be his fault.

What exactly constitutes the correct way?

With nowhere else to turn, Lu Ze thought of Xing Bao.

As an outsider, Xing might offer him a different perspective.

After the communication was connected, Lu Ze explained the whole story.

After listening, Xing gave him a suggestion.

"Why don't you ask Qing Zong, who knows Fu Xuan best?"

Honestly, Hakiro, you really think too highly of me, a raccoon, to use such emotional topics to pressure a four-year-old.

"Oh right! How come I didn't think of that?" Lu Ze slapped his forehead, realizing he had completely forgotten about Qing Que.

Qingque is Fu Xuan's subordinate, and has been outwitting and outmaneuvering Fu Xuan in the Taibu Si for countless years.

If we're talking about who understands Fu Xuan best in this world, Qing Que would dare to claim second place, and probably no one would dare to claim first.

With this in mind, Lu Ze began searching for Qing Que's whereabouts throughout Chang Le Tian.

He went to almost every card room to ask, but still couldn't find anyone.

Coincidentally, just as he left the card room, he ran into Su Chang again. After learning that he was looking for someone, Su Chang volunteered to help him.

So, under her guidance, Lu Ze soon found Qing Que standing by the card table waiting for a seat in a relatively secluded card room.

When Qingque saw Lu Ze panting heavily, she was stunned for a moment, then gave him a look that said, "What are you doing here?"

"Qingque, I want to ask you some questions about Fu Xuan," Lu Ze said somewhat urgently.

"This isn't the place to talk." Qingque looked around at the noisy environment.

She then led Lu Ze into the alley behind the mahjong parlor.

In the quiet, deserted alleyway, Qingque listened to Lu Ze's story.

Finally, she sighed deeply, looking at Lu Ze with a disappointed expression.

"Luze, Luze, from the moment you entered the card room until now, after you've finished telling me all this, I've already noticed three problems with you."

"Huh...which three?" Lu Ze asked, puzzled.

"First of all, would you abandon those two women because of the Grand Diviner's choice?" Qingque pointed at him with her finger.

"This..." Lu Ze couldn't answer for a moment.

"Look, you didn't leave the Grand Diviner any choice at all." Qingque shook her head. "This is what the Grand Diviner meant when she said you were forcing her to be magnanimous."

Qingque's words struck a chord with Lu Ze.

"I..." Lu Ze answered with difficulty.

"I think my words have touched your soul." Qingque looked as if she had just expected it.

"So in the end, that was the biggest mistake you made, the one you shouldn't have made," Qingque said sternly.

"You said you saw the Grand Diviner crying when you left, so why didn't you go and comfort her? Instead, you actually ran out."

"Fu Xuan asked me to come out and calm down." Lu Ze lowered his head, like a student who had done something wrong.

"She told you to come out, so you came out?" Qingque stared wide-eyed.

"What you should care about is the Diviner herself, not whether she can forgive you for this."

"You've got the point wrong," Qingque pointed out directly why Fu Xuan was angry.

Lu Ze was completely stunned.

"So, you should go back and comfort her right now. Your guilty look just now really hurt her," Qingque said decisively.

"You actually obediently ran out..." Qingque couldn't bear to look anymore.

"You should have just hugged her then and there, letting her know you came back because you wanted to see her, not because you wanted to confess anything to her. If you had done that, you two would probably be sleeping together by now."

"This... really works?" Lu Ze looked at Qing Que in disbelief.

"Why did you come to ask me if you thought it wouldn't work?" Qingque rolled her eyes at him, waving her hand as if to say, "Go on, go on, don't keep me from playing cards."

Lu Ze hesitated for a moment, then, as if he had made up his mind, turned around and ran quickly towards home.

Watching Lu Ze's figure disappear around the street corner, Qing Que couldn't help but sigh.

She genuinely felt that she had worried herself sick over the happiness of the Grand Diviner.
