Hua Zhouzhou then said, “Your Majesty, you have always called me a goddess. I myself do not know how to use my divine power to help Nan Cai Kingdom solve the flood problem. I already feel really bad about it. This time I thought of coming here to do my part, even if it is just to give porridge to the people.”

“Goddess, you are so kind. On behalf of all the people of Nancai Kingdom, I thank you here.” Mu Gui stood up, walked closer to Hua Zhouzhou and smiled, “There are many things to do here, and many things have not yet been arranged. It would be dangerous to send you out rashly. You can stay here for a while. Once everything is arranged, I will ask Feng Quan to arrange the porridge distribution.”

“Alright then…” Hua Zhouzhou nodded.

Mu Gui then looked at the sundial. Feng Guang was blocked by the sundial and could not see it. With a slight smile, he said, "I heard that the goddess knows both Feng Guang and the sundial?"

Hua Zhouzhou felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy, but she forced herself to say, "Yes, they are all my friends."

Fengguang, who was called out, also woke up from his drowsiness.

Mu Gui then said, "I never expected that you guys would be friends. Fate is truly a magical thing."

"Yes, yes..." Hua Zhouzhou's smile almost froze.

Mu Gui walked up to the sundial. Feng Guang could no longer pretend to be dead. She stepped out from behind the sundial and smiled politely.

Mu Gui said, "Since you two are friends of the goddess, it would be too impolite to have you serve as guards or maids. Since you are friends of the goddess, you are also my friends. You should no longer be doing the work of servants; you are both my guests."

The sundial politely replied, "We are of humble origin and do not deserve Your Majesty's words."

"Status does not determine a person's character, nor does one's background prove whether someone is a worthy friend," Mu Gui said slowly. "Judging from your appearance, Young Master Rigui is quite talented and must be very knowledgeable. I wonder if Young Master Rigui is interested in joining our Secretariat and becoming a civil official?"

Wait a minute... Isn't it a bit too hasty to just appoint someone to an official position like this?

"Your Majesty!" Feng Quan spoke up again, glancing at Xing Ji as he urged him to step forward and offer his advice.

Unfortunately, Xingji had no such idea at all. His duty was to serve the gods, and he did not participate in any important affairs of the court.

The sundial said, "I am honored by Your Majesty's high regard, but I am not suited to be an official. Please forgive me."

“Since Young Master Sundial is unwilling, then let it be.” Mu Gui did not insist. He looked down at Feng Guang, smiled gently, and then said, “What about Miss Feng Guang? I wonder if she would be willing to come to the palace with me in the future?”

The stunned Feng Guang immediately felt the sundial gripping her hand tighten. She smiled awkwardly, "I grew up with my brother since I was little. Wherever my brother goes, I go."

"Don't you want to think about it, Miss Fengguang? You are friends with the goddess. Once you enter the palace, you can often stay by her side."

She didn't want to be with Hua Zhouzhou at all!

Feng Guang laughed again, "I am already very honored that the goddess can call me a friend. If I were to shamelessly stay by the goddess's side, my status would be unworthy of it."

She had already been polite enough in her refusal.

Mu Gui smiled and said, "It's alright, Miss Fengguang, there's no need to rush to give an answer. You can take your time to consider it. After all, no one can predict the future."
