A divine talisman descends from the heavens!
Fu Xuan descended from the sky, facing the bullets Kafka fired into the air. She showed no fear; the divine eye on her forehead seemed to slow down time, allowing her to easily see the trajectory of the bullets.
A pair of delicate hands deflected the bullets aimed at her as if plucking a string, and the bullets finally landed slowly on the ground.
"Grand Diviner... Fu Xuan, I will now take charge of the wanted criminal."
Fu Xuan put one hand on his hip and looked at the train crew with his pink eyes as he spoke.
Such a high-class entrance immediately attracted everyone's attention.
"White...?" Xingmei muttered to herself, holding the Flame Spear in one hand and stroking her chin with the other.
"?"
Hearing Xingmei's mutterings, March 7th raised an eyebrow: "Hey Xingmei, where are you looking..."
"Huh?" Xingmei, who had been called out, came to her senses and explained, "I meant her socks... white ones."
...
"Fellow travelers of the Starry Sky Train, it's a pleasure to meet you. I am Fu Xuan, the Grand Diviner of the Grand Divination Bureau. Friends have come from afar, and I should be enjoying drinks with you all. However, the Immortal Ship is currently beset by internal and external troubles, so I must postpone this..."
Fu Xuan seemed not to have heard Xingmei's whispered chatter and began to introduce himself.
"Thank you for your help, Lord Diviner... We will take the prisoner to the general."
Although Walter saw that Fu Xuan was small in stature, he did not dare to be negligent and began to speak.
"No need... I am here on the general's orders to take over the important criminals. This is the general's proclamation." Fu Xuan waved his hand, indicating that there was no need for such formalities.
...
Upon seeing Fu Xuan from the Taibu Si arrive, Kafka, standing to the side, did not resist, appearing ready to surrender.
"You wicked woman! Tell us Zhou Xiao's whereabouts!" While Walter was talking to Fu Xuan, March 7th, along with Xingmei, pressed Kafka for answers.
"You really want to know?" Kaffa's languid voice rang out. Seeing March 7th's expression as if it wanted to devour her, Kaffa found it quite amusing.
"What if I tell you? What if I don't? Little girl... don't you understand? Ah Xiao doesn't want to go back to the Starry Sky Train..."
"No!"
Hearing Kafka's words, March 7th shook his head: "You guys instigated him... How could he not want to go back to the train..."
"oh?"
Kafka smiled when she saw March 7th break through her defenses:
"The Star Train has been docked at the Immortal Ship for some time now, but Ah Xiao still hasn't shown up to find you... Doesn't that say something? Little girl, you need to face reality..."
"Shut up!" March 7 was furious; she wished she could stuff a cork into Kafka's mouth.
"Tsk..." Kaffa glanced at March 7 and said, "You let me speak just now... but now you won't let me speak... little girl, do you want me to talk or not?"
"You!" March 7th, enraged, grabbed his longbow and was about to smash Kafka's head.
"March... calm down."
Seeing that March 7th had broken down so quickly, Xingmei hurriedly stopped her to prevent her from actually hurting Kafka.
"Xing! Whose side are you on?! Why are you blocking me?! Didn't you want to save your master? Then hit her..." March 7th was furious at Xingmei for blocking her way.
Meanwhile, Kafka looked at Xingmei with a gentle expression, as if to say: "Hmm, very good, very well-behaved."
"In March... hand Kafka over to the Diviner, so that he can take her back to the Diviner's Office for interrogation."
Just then, Walter and Fu Xuan walked over. Walter saw that March 7th was in a bad mood and tried to calm him down.
"Uncle Yang...are we just leaving like this?"
“No…” Walter shook his head and then said, “We have the right to know. We will be present at the Tabbhart’s office to listen in during the Tabbhart’s interrogation of Kafka…”
"I believe that the Diviner is more capable than us of getting Kafka to talk."
Hearing what Walter said, March 7 had no choice but to give up, put away his longbow, and return to the Temple with the others.
...
"March...have you noticed that you've become unusually impulsive and irritable since we arrived at the Immortal Ship?" Xingmei asked March 7 on the way back.
"I..." March 7th reflected for a moment upon hearing the voice, and it seemed that it was indeed true.
"We just really wanted to rescue Zhou Xiao..."
"save?"
Hearing March 7th say that word, Kafka, who was being escorted, was not happy.
"Ah Xiao is well-fed, well-clothed, and well-cared for by us Star Core Hunters... We never restrict his freedom, so what's this talk of rescuing him?"
"Then how did he end up on the Celestial Ship's wanted list?" March 7 glared at Kafka: "Wasn't it all your doing!"
"March... say less." Walter kindly reminded her, seeing that March was about to argue with Kafka again, and then looked at Fu Xuan and said:
"Please forgive me, Your Excellency, this young man is too impetuous..."
“That’s normal.” Fu Xuan was very understanding and said, “If you’re not hot-blooded, what kind of young person are you?”
...
Led by the little fox Tingyun, the group traveled from Huixing Port by star raft to a grotto-heaven called Changle Tian. Seeing that this was not Taibu Si, Fu Xuan raised an eyebrow slightly, looked up at Tingyun, and asked:
What kind of path are you leading us on?
"Oh dear, I have no choice. The Qiongyi is broken... I can only go by my instincts. Anyway, it's not far from Taibusi. I'll just walk a short distance."
Tingyun offered an explanation, but Fu Xuan didn't listen much. She started gesturing with her hands.
This finger-calculation gesture looked very familiar to Xingmei. She couldn't help but focus her gaze on the Forty Dollar Lady; this finger-calculation gesture was strikingly similar to how the Forty Dollar Lady had found Kaffa earlier...
"It really is..."
Fu Xuan seemed to have foreseen something, and said to himself, "Alright, I will take the criminal back to the Imperial Apothecary. Everyone, please wait here for a while... I will send someone to inform you after I return to the Imperial Apothecary and prepare for the interrogation."
"Is it that complicated?" March 7th asked.
"Hmm...it will take some time to prepare."
After leaving a message, Fu Xuan and Kafka gradually disappeared from everyone's sight. Seeing this, Ting Yun, who was standing nearby, summoned several Yunqi soldiers from somewhere and immediately pinned down the lady.
"What are you doing... why are you arresting me?" The woman's wrist was aching from being pressed down.
“Miss Tingyun… what is this?” Walter asked.
"My benefactors, there are many suspicious things about this lady. We need to take her back and ask her about the situation... Please wait here for a moment, I will be right back."
Tingyun smiled and explained, then led several Yunqi soldiers who were escorting the forty-yuan lady towards the Sichen Palace.
"Could this be... a personal vendetta?" San Yueqi asked, seeing how swiftly Tingyun acted.
"Hmm... get out of there quickly, she hasn't even performed her 'Three Mouths Listening to the Truth' act yet..."
Xingmei's mind was clearly still on the bet that Tingyun had made earlier, which she had talked about at length.
