This made the other party even more helpless, and they had no choice but to go along with her.

"Hey, little aunt, it's already late and you're still arguing with me about culture. Just focus on seeing the patient!"

However, perhaps he noticed everyone's gaze and met everyone's features, the man's eyes suddenly lit up and he walked over in three or two steps.

"Oh, gentlemen, please stay!"

"Huh? What's wrong?"

March Seven looked at him curiously. The man didn't tell any riddles and seemed very familiar.

"Thankfully, you and your companions intervened to rescue the people of Changletian and the Dragon Lady."

Dahao bowed politely, and when he saw Wendy, dressed as a bard, standing next to her, his expression became even more respectful.

"The person next to you must be Master Wendy, the master of divine power who can undo the corruption of demonic bodies. Nice to meet you. I am Dahao from the Diheng Division."

"what?"

Wendy, who was standing nearby, suddenly had a subtle expression, while her companions couldn't help laughing.

Although the civil servant from the Land and Resources Department had a serious expression and his words and actions were full of respect.

However, the title of master, which is so down-to-earth, suddenly fell on her head, which always made Wendy feel that she was not saving people before, but blessing fallen women.

"Haha, you're truly a forgetful person. You and your companions dealt with the demonic entity at a critical moment earlier. I saw it all."

He smiled as he stroked his beard.

"Also, I've heard from my friends at the Tianbo Division that the general has invited several guests from the Starry Sky Train, seemingly specifically to resolve the troubles in Luofu. Earlier, the Shen Ce Mansion also issued an official document stating that if the gentlemen have any requests, the six divisions must cooperate."

"Hehe, I was saying that General Jing Yuan was a really good person. Look at his attitude towards doing things, he's so sincere~"

This made San Yueqi much happier. Although the incident that happened in the morning had its reasons, it still left a gap in his heart.

Now, I can see how much they value me from all these aspects. If nothing else, at least I feel a little relieved!

"The General is indeed very optimistic about you gentlemen. I wonder if you and your companions are free? If so, I hope you can take the time to come to the Ministry of Land and Resources for a chat. The Ministry of Land and Resources would like to discuss with you the current difficulties facing Changletian..."

Dahao made such a request, and the pioneers looked at each other and decided to split into two teams first.

Sanyue and Uncle Yang went to Dihengsi, while Wendy and Xing continued to look for the fortune teller, and then they would meet up at Taibusi later.

As a result, before he took two steps, Xing's phone started beeping, indicating an unknown message.

The other party logged in as a visitor, with no avatar or nickname, and only sent a few text messages with a picture.

???: Hello everyone, I'm waiting for you here.

???: Counting on my fingers, I think you all should have finished your meal and bumped into Mr. Dahao.

???: But I have something urgent to attend to right now and can't leave. I hope you will bear with the trouble and walk a few more steps to find me.

(Note: By the way, don’t go with Mr. Dahao. Taibu has other arrangements for this matter.)

"This should be from that Qingque, right? And this picture, is she telling us to meet her here? It's just like the kidnappers in the movie."

Sanyueqi came over to take a look and was amazed.

"Should we split up into teams now?"

Wendy spread her hands.

"Uncle Yang?"

Xing subconsciously looked at Walter. He hesitated for a moment and chose to let the big man read the information as well.

He didn't show any embarrassment, but understood it.

"Master Taibu is incredibly insightful. Since you have other plans, I naturally won't waste your time. Please go that way, turn left up the stairs, then turn right and go straight ahead to reach your destination."

Before saying goodbye to the civil servant from the Land and Investment Bureau, Uncle Yang gave him some face and said that he would come back to check on the situation later, which made Dahao happily agree.

After leaving this place and following the instructions given by the other party, everyone quickly found the location.

However, this place is quite different from the empty one in the picture. Instead, there are card tables arranged in pairs of four, and many people are immersed in the game.

The young fortune teller named Qingque, whom Fu Xuan had mentioned earlier, was also recognized by the pioneers at a glance.

The card game had already started on her side, and it was time to touch Qiong Yu.

The card players sitting in the south seat are already getting impatient.

"Hurry up, Qingque. By the time you've mastered this trick, all of us brothers will be dead."

The card player sitting in the west seat was patient and just joked.

"Hey, I heard that Taibusi's cave was also hit by a disaster. Qingque is really strong-willed enough to still be sitting here playing cards."

"You're such a big-headed ghost. Even if the sky falls over there, there's still the Grand Master of the Imperial Precepts to hold it up. Although she may not be tall, her abilities are unparalleled."

The petite girl called Qingque rolled her eyes at him and made some movements with her hands.

"Besides, I'm not here to play around. I've been ordered to wait for a distinguished guest. It's just that I'm early, and I don't want to rush them, so I just sit down and play a couple of games. This is called 'slacking off and working at the same time.'"

"You're quite good at talking. And did you hide your cards just now?"

"No way, no way. We never cheat when playing Di Heng Qiong Yu. Don't wrongly accuse a good person!"

There was a lot of noise here, but the pioneers standing at the back looked at each other in confusion.

"Isn't this a card room?! There's no trouble at all. I ran all the way here and almost couldn't catch my breath!"

Sanyueqi immediately glared at her angrily, while Qingque, who mistakenly thought that it was a spectator pointing at her, said with disgust.

"Huh? This card isn't troublesome enough! I love hearing what my sister says... What the hell is going on here?"

While sorting the cards, she glanced behind her, and then her expression froze.

"You don't want Taibu to know you're playing cards, do you, Miss Qingque?"

Xing threatened with great skill.

"Ahahaha... I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I was planning to go down and look for you guys too... Hey, um, bang!!"

She answered while dealing with the chess game.

"I never imagined this guy was so capable. He's completely surrounded the square, and the best spots have been taken by Dihengsi... Eat!!"

"I thought to myself, if I were to meet you all in a noisy place like that, even if I stood on tiptoe to call out, none of you would know where I was. Wouldn't that mean... it's my turn? Bang!!"

The crisp sound of the Qiongyu cards was soothing. Qingque also stood up from his excitement and returned to his seat.

"...Wouldn't that be a disgrace to our Grand Assembler? And at that time, you were in talks with Lady Dragon, and I, a humble assembler with little influence, wouldn't have dared to bother you even if I had ten times the courage."

"So, we'll have to take advantage of our free time to try out the folk custom of the old Immortal Boat people—the Emperor Heng Qiong Jade Card. Wait... this hand... is a tie!"

As he spoke, Qingque became excited again and slammed the Qiongyu card on the table, leaving the salted fish facing up.

She also seemed to have entered the sage time, stood up leisurely, and spoke seriously.

"My wishes are fulfilled here, and I have nothing to worry about. My lords, please—let's go now!"

But before leaving, she went to the milk tea shop with ease and treated everyone to a cup. After she ordered her own, she did not forget to bring a cup for the Lord Taibu as well.

"Alas, I've kept you all waiting for so long. Qingque feels really bad for that. I can only offer tea instead of wine. Thank you all for your generosity."

"It wasn't too long. I was watching the girl having fun playing, and I became curious about the Emperor Heng Qiong Jade Card."

Walter was really interested. I don’t know if it was because of his age or he simply felt that the atmosphere of this kind of play was good, but with just a few words, Qingque was very happy.

"Hey, sir, you're so patient and thoughtful, and you have great insight! Since you're interested in this, if you don't mind, I'll teach you how to play it. I guarantee you'll have fun!"

She also took a look at the team composition and said with envy.

"You learn it yourself and pass it on to your friends. First, it can help you kill time when you're bored. Second, it can help you build relationships as a team. Third, you'll have fun and prolong your life!"

"You're right."

Walter readily agreed.

"Ahem! Uncle Yang, it's time for us to get down to business! And you, don't listen so intently, I don't know what we're talking about!"

March 7 pinched Wendy's face, looking a bit angry at her for not fighting back.

"Wow. That's not the way it should be. If we learn this, we can all play together as a group. How great is that!"

Wendy covered her face with her hands and answered with some resentment.

"No! You look like the type who would lose all his ambition due to pleasure. And Xing, please don't be silent. Help me talk..."

March Seventh, who originally wanted to give a few more lectures, also noticed that Xing was staring blankly at the towering tree in the distance.

She murmured to herself, "What is that?"

"Oh, that's the ancient tree called 'Jianmu', a treasure once proudly held by the 'Luofu' immortal ship."

Qingque took a quick look and gave a competent explanation.

"It's said that this Jianmu tree is a remnant left behind from an ancient immortal ship that sailed through the outer space. While it may appear to be just half a dead tree from a distance, according to the records in the Shangguo Menghualu, in its prime, it was so massive it "climbed the sky and hung down from the stars!"

"Uh, what do you mean...?"

March 7th showed a little expression of support.

"It means that this tree is so tall that it can reach the sky, and the stars can hang down from its branches."

Walter looked at her helplessly, wondering if he should go back and mention it to Ji Zi vaguely, so as not to raise the child into a real husband.

"How big is that? As big as a train? No, as big as the Black Tower Space Station? That's not right either."

San Yue Qi compared his size and finally said uncertainly.

"Hanging stars and all that, I'm afraid even the entire immortal ship can't fit it? The world tree we saw on Snail III and the trees on Beloberg weren't this exaggerated."

"This is rhetoric! Rhetoric! Don't use realistic words in your story!"

Qingque subconsciously argued, but soon lost interest.

"But it's just a legend anyway. I see this every day on my way to and from get off work, and I've been watching it for so many years, but I haven't seen a single flower grow."

"Oh? Really? Why do I feel that the tree doesn't seem like a dead thing? On the contrary, it seems to be pregnant with a huge vitality within it—"

Wendy's tone was playful, which attracted Qingque's attention, but it was too late.

Taibusi, we're almost there.

Wendy also withdrew her gaze and listened patiently to the faint calling voice.

That Jianmu tree——

A new life is being conceived within His body, and it is also longing for "completeness," as if it hopes to become one with Him.

Chapter 16 Look at me driving the Gundam on March 7th!

Taibusi is one of the six imperial officials in Xianzhou.

Using a crystal computer technology called "Jade Omen", they are responsible for predicting the future, processing and storing information, deducing routes, and planning strategies.

Among the officials were strategists who were responsible for calculating political and military strategies; diviners who predicted the future, watched over the imperial edicts, and interpreted their meanings; recorders who collected and classified complex information; and librarians who processed information and managed the archives.

Qingque is a small-time disciple in the Taibusi, who is mainly responsible for managing the information classified in the library. He is neither high-ranking nor low-ranking, and is no different from an ordinary clerk. He belongs to the part that is "made up of gears".

"So, when you go in, please don't run around. Although you are the guests of the Grand Master, she hates people who don't follow the rules and ask questions...

If you offend her, you can all just run away, but we can run away from the temple, and we will definitely be punished!"

After returning here, Qingque became cautious, which made people wonder if this Fu Xuan Taibu was quite strict with him?

"That sounds really scary. Fortunately, our train crew is not like that. Usually, at most, they help the Black Tower Space Station run some errands. Otherwise, Jizi doesn't really take care of anything."

San Yueqi twirled the ends of her hair, her expression full of relief.

Seeing her like this, Walter had no choice but to remind her.

"Having said that, Sanyue. While exploring new things, don't forget our philosophy—"

What San Yueqi said just now was just like the behavior of a street urchin. If Ji Zi knew about this when he got back, he would definitely get a lecture.
