Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

A rustling sound came through the headphones, mixed with Qingque's aggrieved accusation and Xing's soft comforting words.

Clearly, Xing was explaining the whole story to Qingque.

Fu Xuan didn't care whether Lu Ze did it on purpose or not.

She first glanced at the Yunqi Army searching for people in the distance outside the freight channel, then looked away and focused her gaze back on the strange man in front of her, Lu Ze.

"The Cloud Cavalry are either serious criminals or idiots to be apprehended."

After she finished speaking, she gently stroked the purple jade divination plate hanging on her chest with her fingertips. The plate immediately lit up with a soft light, and several illusory hexagrams floated up from the plate, slowly rotating and arranging above her palm, making her golden eyes sparkle like stars.

"It seems you are the latter."

Fu Xuan looked at the divination results on the plate, and his lips pursed almost imperceptibly.

"Tell her: You've obtained the Heavenly Fire Fellowship Hexagram, which indicates you'll meet an old friend in a foreign land. Hurry!" Qingque's voice suddenly came through the earpiece, her tone urgent.

It seems the opposing star has already explained things clearly.

However, urged by Qingque, Lu Ze's mind hadn't caught up yet, but his mouth moved first.

"A fanfic about Skyfire?!" Lu Ze muttered to himself.

Upon hearing his whisper, Fu Xuan instantly narrowed his eyes.

This person actually predicted the exact hexagram she had just divined for him the moment he opened his mouth, without the slightest error.

The initial wariness in Fu Xuan's golden eyes gradually turned into curiosity.

"What did you say?" Fu Xuan stared intently at Lu Ze and pressed for an answer.

Under her watchful gaze, Lu Ze had no choice but to grit his teeth and repeat Qing Que's words word by word.

"The hexagram 'Tongren' (同人) is composed of Qian (乾) above and Li (离) below, signifying Heaven and Fire in Harmony. The hexagram's text reads: 'Tongren in the wilderness, auspicious. It is advantageous to cross the great river; it is advantageous for the superior man to be steadfast.' It signifies...meeting an old friend in a foreign land and receiving help from a noble person."

Lu Ze tried to keep his voice steady in order to show his professionalism.

Unfortunately, when he got to the last sentence, he still paused for a beat out of guilt.

Fu Xuan remained silent for three seconds.

Her gaze swept over Lu Ze's face twice before she silently put away the divination board.

"You know divination?"

Lu Ze awkwardly touched his nose and chuckled dryly, "I know a little bit, I know a little bit."

Fu Xuan stepped forward, looking directly into Lu Ze's eyes: "Then do you know the interpretation of the ninth line of the fifth hexagram?"

Her tone was more serious than before, clearly wanting to test whether this man, who claimed to "know a little," had real knowledge or had just happened to memorize a few divination phrases.

Almost the instant Fu Xuan finished speaking, Qing Que's voice rang out in the earphones: "Fanfic, first wail then laugh. Master is destined to meet."

Lu Ze repeated Qing Que's words verbatim, like a parrot.

Because he didn't need to think, he even had the energy to nod slightly while repeating what he had said, putting on a mysterious and profound look.

Fu Xuan nodded in satisfaction, clearly agreeing with the answer he had given.

"Tell me, what did you do to deserve being arrested by the Cloud Cavalry? If it wasn't something heinous, I might be able to intervene on your behalf."

Seeing how knowledgeable Lu Ze was about divination, she felt a pang of regret for his talent and wanted to help him out.

At the same time, Fu Xuan also knew that he should be the benefactor mentioned in the divination.

"I was misunderstood as someone who freeloaded, and then I ran away," Lu Ze answered honestly.

After listening, Fu Xuan remained silent for a moment, his face expressionless.

She probably never expected that Lu Ze would be chased for several blocks for such an absurd reason.

"It's a small matter. However, I'm in a hurry to go to the Imperial Apothecary. When you return here in the afternoon, I will take you to the Earth Balance Office to explain things clearly."

Without waiting for Lu Ze's reply, she turned around, the hem of her dress drawing a graceful arc in the dim light of the corridor.

Soon, Fu Xuan's purple cloud-patterned robe disappeared around the corner of the passage, leaving only the faint scent of peach blossoms lingering in the air.
