Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Jinren Alley.

The area in front of Aunt Gao's snack stall was still steaming with mist.

In the afternoon, there were fewer diners than at midday, which gave them room to talk.

Fu Xuan stepped forward and negotiated with Aunt Gao. In just a few words, he clearly explained the whole story of how Lu Ze, being a newcomer, did not know what a patrol horse was, and how he was chased by the Yunqi due to a misunderstanding while collecting money.

Aunt Gao listened while wiping her hands, and started laughing halfway through.

"Why did you run away back then, you little brat?"

Aunt Gao took the letter of understanding from Fu Xuan, picked up a pen and neatly wrote her name in the signature column, but her mouth was not idle.

"It's just a few days of voluntary labor. I'll get paid afterwards, which will pay for my meals. Is it really worth running away?"

Lu Ze dared not refute, and could only stand aside and nod in agreement.

He had no idea that being a freeloader on Xianzhou Island wouldn't mean being arrested and imprisoned, but rather being sentenced to hard labor, and even less that he would receive wages after the hard labor was completed.

When I saw the Yunqi Army chasing after me, my first instinct was to run. Later, I decided to give up and figured that since I was already running, I couldn't just give up halfway.

Fu Xuan couldn't help but smile as he looked at Fu Xuan's obediently accepting the scolding.

The arc was extremely shallow and fleeting.

Just then, Lu Ze's gaze fell on her face, capturing this beautiful moment, and he couldn't help but admire her.

"She's so beautiful."

But before he could even think about it, the words slipped out of his mouth.

"Hey young man, you have good taste! I was the most beautiful girl in Jinren Lane back in the day."

Although Lu Ze spoke softly, Aunt Gao, with her sharp ears, heard him.

Aunt Gao clearly knew who Lu Ze was talking about, but she insisted on identifying herself with him, teasing him as she pushed the signed letter of understanding towards him.

Awkward Lu Ze could only manage a forced laugh, his ears burning slightly.

Fu Xuan wasn't doing much better. She gave Lu Ze a reproachful look, but the blush that spread from behind her ears to her cheeks betrayed her.

This shy girl had probably never been complimented on her looks so directly before. It was the first time she had encountered such a situation, and she was a little overwhelmed.

With her cheeks flushed, Lu Ze thought she looked even more beautiful.

This time he learned his lesson and didn't say it directly.

Having obtained a letter of understanding, the two then went directly to the Earth Balance Division to have Lu Ze's case closed.

With Aunt Gao's letter of understanding, the subsequent procedures went much more smoothly.

Fu Xuan led Lu Ze to the relevant person in charge and submitted the letter of understanding and several necessary documents together.

Lu Ze filled in the basic information on an electronic form. After the staff checked it and confirmed that it was correct, the case was closed in the system. This "free meal and escape case" that lasted for half a day was officially closed.

Not only that, Fu Xuan also helped him get a temporary residence permit.

"Do you have any money left?"

Just as he stepped out of the gate of the Earth Balance Bureau, Fu Xuan suddenly stopped and turned to ask him a question.

"Uh, well... I'll pay you back the money you just paid for me later." Lu Ze quickly assured him that he wouldn't renege on his debt.

"There's no rush."

After Fu Xuan finished speaking, he paused for a moment, then spoke again, "I plan to find you a job as a librarian in the Imperial Apothecary. It's a relaxed job, so you can do it for now. Once you're familiar with the Immortal Ship, you can make other plans later."

As if she had just remembered something, she quickly added, "But don't get me wrong, it's just that the library is short-staffed."

Lu Ze was stunned for a moment.

Isn't this librarian position the future Qingque position?

The book "General Treatise on Navigation of the Star Chariot, Volume One" that Qingque asked him to buy happened to be a book in the Taibu Si Library.

Could it be that……

The book Qingque was reading, was it the one she bought?
