Xingtie, the lazy girl wants to rebel

"When she was taken away by the guards, she was still cursing Fu Xuanbu and General Jing Yuan!"

"Oh? What did she curse?"

The woman looked gossipy.

"Hey! They're saying they're colluding with the insiders and the outsiders, that they have ulterior motives, and that they're handing over Luofu's divination autonomy to the Yuque people for nothing!"

"Holy crap! It's really a stone from the toilet, so smelly and hard!"

The young woman scoffed.

"I don't know about the others, I only know that now that they're gone from the Immortal Boat, even the air has become a lot fresher!"

……

Several people were talking animatedly. Although their voices were not loud, they were heard by Qingque, who was concentrating on fiddling with the fortune sticks behind the fortune-telling stall.

Her movements paused slightly, and she pretended to look up and glance at those people casually.

Then, the corners of his mouth raised an imperceptible arc, and he sighed softly in his heart:

"This time, Jing Yuan and Fu Xuan finally stopped making excuses to delay and took decisive action..."

"It's worth it that I went to so much trouble to help them solve the company's worries..."

Qingque casually placed the newly drawn talisman aside, but the moment he lowered his head, a sense of regret welled up in his heart:

"It's a pity that I wasn't there when they took Lingyun away from Taibusi."

"Otherwise, just watching that woman being taken away would probably make me eat three more bowls of rice!"

Thinking of this, Qingque couldn't help but purse his lips and smile. He looked at the sky again and calculated the time in his mind:

"By now, I guess Fu Xuan should have finished cleaning out the remaining family members in the Taibusi Division, right?"

"Then according to the agreement, Fu Xuan should come here in person and invite me back to my loyal Taibusi..."

Just as she was thinking about it, the jade ring in Qingque's skirt pocket suddenly made a sound.

Qingque took it out and took a look. A light immediately appeared in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth raised high:

"Hehe! Isn't Master Fu Xuan here in person..."

……

A moment later, Qingque saw Fu Xuan's familiar pink hair from afar.

She decisively put down her fraudulent work and went to a secluded bamboo forest nearby with Fu Xuan.

The sunlight shines through the bamboo leaves onto the ground, creating mottled shadows. Everything around is silent, with only the occasional sound of wind blowing through the branches.

After Qingque stopped, he looked at Fu Xuan with a smile.

She was still wearing the same elegant dress that was meticulously crafted, but her eyes and brows showed signs of fatigue, as if she had just been relieved from days of heavy work.

"So... Master Fu Xuan!"

Qingque raised his eyebrows and said to her jokingly:

"Have you come all this way to fulfill your promise? To personally invite me back to the Taipusi?"

Fu Xuan nodded slightly, his tone gentle and direct:

"That's right, I said that as long as the family power is eradicated, I will come and invite you back in person!"

"Hehe! Then I have to think about it carefully..."

Qingque curled the corners of his mouth and deliberately dragged out the tone.

"After all, I run a stall here, and my life is pretty peaceful. There aren't any troublesome intrigues or anything like that."

"Also, the money I made from scamming people recently... ahem... was pretty good..."

Fu Xuan heard the joking meaning in Qingque's words and couldn't help but chuckle:

"Qingque, I know you like to be free, and you've been wronged in the Taipu Division before..."

"But this time I'm really here to invite you!"

"So, please give Taibushi and also give me a chance to make it up to you..."

"Oh?"

Qingque pretended to be surprised.

"So, Master Fu Xuan wants to give me a promotion and a raise?"

"You could say the same thing."

Fu Xuan's smile gradually faded, and his tone became more serious.

"In the past, I had a deputy by my side, her name was Mingyue."

"Over the years, she has accumulated sufficient experience within the Imperial Ascension Department, so I recommended her to the Imperial Ascension Department to take over from Lingyun and become the divination officer in charge of the Karma Formation Array."

"After Mingyue took over the Yecheng Formation, my position as deputy in the Zhouhe Formation became vacant."

"So I hope you can replace her and become my deputy!"

"Oh?"

Qingque was stunned for a moment, then his smile deepened.

"In the past, I wasn't even considered a fortune teller in the Taibusi, but now I've suddenly become your deputy, Master Fu Xuan..."

"Does this feel like an imperial appointment?..."

Hearing this, Fu Xuan advised calmly:

"The family's influence has been eliminated, and there will be no more rumors in the Taibusi now."

"Qingque, I know your talents!"

"Your abilities shouldn't be wasted on this small fortune-telling stall..."

Hearing this, the smile on Qingque's lips gradually faded, and his expression showed a rare seriousness.

After a moment of silence, she finally looked up and smiled with relief:

"Since Master Fu Xuan has already spoken, if I continue to refuse, wouldn't it seem like I'm being too ungrateful..."

"OK! I'm willing to return to Taipusi!..."

But then, Qingque started to discuss the conditions with Fu Xuan in a serious manner:

"But let me make this clear first!"

"I like to take a break from my busy schedule!"

"If you catch me slacking off during work hours, don't scold me!"

When Fu Xuan heard this, he chuckled and raised his eyebrows:

"Oh?"

"That's another matter..."

……

In the evening, inside the Taibusi.

Fu Xuan and Qingque climbed up together and leaned over the railing to look out. The magnificent scene of the entire Dayan Qiongguan Formation was suddenly visible in front of them.

The afterglow of the sun shone on the two of them, instantly rendering a layer of golden red glow.

At this moment, if there was a piece of Mandarin Duck Opera as background music, this would be a perfect picture of the Yuque Gang's victory...

Chapter 76: When one core is in trouble, many cores watch.

Qingque leaned on the railing, gazing at the setting sun.

Suddenly, she seemed to remember something, and then asked Fu Xuan in a brisk tone:

"Speaking of which, what happened to the small Qiongguan formation in the family?"

"that?"

Fu Xuan turned his head to glance at Qingque, and casually tucked his long hair that was messed up by the wind behind his ears, and said in a calm tone:

"Because it was important evidence, it was finally handed over to the Ten Kings Division for complete preservation and disposal..."

"Sealed?"

When Qingque heard this, his brows frowned instantly and his eyes widened in surprise.

"Eh? This is such a pity, isn't it?..."

"It's clearly the top-level formation they built with so much effort!"

"We should make the best use of everything!"

"It's such a waste to keep it sealed and collecting dust!"

"Physical evidence is just physical evidence. There's nothing to be ashamed of."

Fu Xuan's tone remained calm, but his eyes held a hint of inquiry:

"That's just a small, simplified Qiongguan formation. Once you return to the Taibu Division, you can use the large Qiongguan formation within the division at your disposal."

"By contrast, wouldn't it be more appropriate to seal it as physical evidence?"

"Ugh……"

Qingque sighed helplessly, supported himself on the railing with both hands, leaned forward slightly, and continued to look at the sunset in the distance:

"You can't say that!"

"Every inch has its own strengths and weaknesses!"

"Although that small Qiongguan Formation cannot compare to the large formation of the Taibusi, it can definitely be put to use if it is moved to the Taibusi!"

"Oh? What good can it do?"

Fu Xuan was obviously intrigued by Qingque's words:

"This simple formation is essentially the family's imitation of the Qiongguan Formation. It can do the same thing as the Taibusi formation, and it can do it even better!"

“So, I don’t think it’s unique…”

"Well, that's why I say that those of you who come from big families don't know how expensive fuel and rice are until you manage the household!"

"You don't know how to cherish things at all!"

Qingque pouted, then leaned on the railing, looking at Fu Xuan with some disdain:

"If we treat it as a [small core], wouldn't it be very useful?"

"Little core?"

Fu Xuan was suddenly stunned by this incoherent word, so he looked at Qingque with a puzzled look, as if waiting for her subsequent explanation.

"For example! Don't those barbarians often mention things like 'chips'?"

"And the foreigners' chips have the concept of big and small cores!"

"Among them, the [big cores] are responsible for complex calculations and high-load tasks, while the [small cores] are responsible for lightweight, highly repetitive work."

"They use the big cores to handle the hard problems and the small cores to handle the trivial tasks!"

"And in this way, the working efficiency of the entire chip can be maximized!"

Fu Xuan nodded thoughtfully: "That sounds reasonable. What do you mean?"

Qingque smiled lightly, straightened up, and clapped his hands:

"I was wondering, can't the Qiongguan Formation within our Taibu Division be considered the [Big Core]?"

"It's perfect for handling those complex and precise divinations!"

"But it's huge and complex, and activating it consumes a huge amount of energy..."

"But if we can introduce the family's small-scale Qiongguan formation and use it as a [small core] to share some trivial tasks, such as low-level calculations, repetitive case deductions, etc..."

"Then in this way, the Daqiongguan Formation only needs to handle key tasks, and the Xiaoqiongguan Formation is used to clean up miscellaneous tasks!"
