Qiao Zhen, a diligent and inconspicuous small fry in the Heavenly Realm's Fate Office, was swept into a series of tasks, mission number 999, due to a bolt of heavenly lightning.
She expec...
Xun Yin took the construction drawings and unfolded them. After just a few glances, he became somewhat enthusiastic. "This thing is a bit difficult to make. If you can make it, I would like to ask you, young master, to convey my message to my wife. What do you say?"
"Very good." Qiao Zhen bowed slightly to Xun Yin, then turned and left.
Xiao Ling: [Why don't you ask his uncle?! He needs treatment for his leg! A wheelchair is nothing compared to a leg!]
Qiao Zhen: [Is there a time limit for this task?]
Xiao Ling: [No.]
Qiao Zhen: [That's settled then, isn't it? Since there's no time limit, it means this matter shouldn't be rushed. Didn't I just tell Xun Yin that Ye Shangzhou is slowly getting better? I wanted to use Xun Yin to relay Ye Shangzhou's condition to that hermit healer.]
Xiao Ling: [What's the point?]
Qiao Zhen: [Idiot! I'm asking you, why did that doctor want to assassinate Ye Shangzhou?]
Xiao Ling: [Because Ye Shangzhou is cruel and inhumane, the common people are suffering greatly, and he has incurred the wrath of the masses.]
Qiao Zhen: [But what if Ye Shangzhou becomes better? What if the common people are no longer suffering? What reason would that doctor have to target Ye Shangzhou then? Ye Huaijin's usurpation of the throne will inevitably plunge the world into chaos, with the aim of overthrowing Ye Shangzhou's tyrannical rule. If Ye Shangzhou is a wise ruler, that doctor will no longer support Ye Huaijin, and therefore he will have no reason to refuse to treat Ye Shangzhou.]
Xiao Ling: [So the most urgent task is to buy time so that Ye Shangzhou can become a wise ruler as soon as possible?]
Qiao Zhen: [Yes, all my talking wasn't in vain. I'm very pleased that you've come to this realization.]
Xiao Ling: [That's right, I'm very smart!]
What a shameless system!
