Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

Chapter 33: Master Taibu is missing

"Lord Qingque, Lord Qingque..." Qingque was still sleeping soundly in his room when his door was knocked loudly.

"Touch yourself... hehe... I got it wrong..." Qingque was drooling, hissing...

"Master Qingque!" The person outside was anxious and rushed in without paying any attention to etiquette. He rushed over to wake Qingque up, "Oh no, Master Taibu is missing."

"It doesn't matter. Even if the sky falls, I'll have Taibu to hold it up... I'll... I'll go back to sleep..." Qingque said dazedly, "I dreamed that I was already the number one gambling god in the universe."

"Lord Qingque!"

"Oh... Taibu is missing, it's no big deal." Qingque's eyes suddenly widened, "What did you say? Taibu is missing?"

Although Qingque was not the highest official in the Imperial Decree Department in name when Fu Xuan was away, she was favored by Fu Xuan. During Fu Xuan's leave, the general appointed her as the acting Imperial Decree. Therefore, she was also called "Lord Qingque".

So when Taibu disappeared, the fortune tellers below naturally thought that Qingque was the one who could take charge.

Qingque casually calculated the fortune and carefully calculated with the Emperor Huan's jade tablet in his hand... very bad luck... no way, no way! Qingque was so scared that the jade tower he had built collapsed.

Hey, it's not suitable for work today, so I'd better not go. If you encounter a problem, just make a big fuss. If something happens to Taibu, the general will take the responsibility. Besides, how could anything happen to Taibu? "Without any plan" is a derogatory name for Fu Xuan. If something happens to her? Haha, Luofu will be destroyed.

Qingque fell asleep immediately. That was great. Now there was no Lord Taibu to urge her to go to work.

"Don't sleep... The Taibu Division cannot be without someone in charge..." The fortune teller pulled Qingque. Although Qingque was the leader in name, he had no authority after all. Qingque himself didn't care about this, so these fortune tellers were so unscrupulous. If she was facing Fu Xuan, she wouldn't dare to do it even if she had five hundred guts.

At this time, another Cloud Rider from the Godly Strategy Palace came to Qingque's door: "Announce the general's decree. From now on, Qingque will temporarily serve as the Luofu Grand Astrologer. The term is tentatively set to be indefinite."

What…what? Qingque sat up in shock from his dying illness.

General Jing Yuan, spare me... How could Xiao Quezi be the Grand Diviner? She was just the acting Grand Diviner last time, but now she is the Grand Diviner. She suddenly became the youngest Grand Diviner in the past hundred years of Xianzhou, breaking the myth of the previous Fu Xuan being young.

Qingque bid farewell to the soft bed with tears in her eyes, and went to take up her post with the Taibu Ling given by Yunqi.

Could something have really happened to Lord Taibu? Qingque realized it late and slowly came back to his senses while walking on the road. Generally speaking, Jingyuan would not make such a big fuss. He was giving the Taibu Order directly to himself.

The acting Taibu and the temporary Taibu are completely different. The former is just an agent, and the original person is still there, just temporarily performing his duties. The latter is often that the original person is no longer there, and for the sake of experience transition, the temporary Taibu is allowed to temporarily adapt to the job. When the job is mature, the temporary position becomes official.

In other words, in the former case, you are not a Taibu, but in the latter case, you can already call yourself a Taibu.

"Master Grand Astrologer..." The people from the Grand Astrologer's Office saluted Qingque respectfully. Although it felt good, they suddenly felt a lot of pressure. Little Qingque just wanted to take a chance, but how could he take a chance as Grand Astrologer...

"Master Grand Diviner, this is the budget of the Department of Divination for this month. Please have a look..." One by one, the fortune tellers brought up piles of information, which were much more than what the acting Grand Diviner had faced.

"Five thousand damn patrol arrows, why don't you just go and rob them? Even if I sell my Qingque, I can't even get fifty thousand!" Qingque spat out the hot tea he had just drunk in one breath as he looked at the budget bill.

"Master Grand Diviner, you should address me as this Lord..." the fortune teller reminded.

"What do you mean by this or that? There is only one Luofu Grand Diviner, and that is Fu Xuan. I am just filling in the gap." Qingque cursed angrily, "I have no money, but I have my life. Why do you keep this thing with me instead of giving it to the General's Shen Ce Mansion to get it reimbursed?"

"It was all paid for by the former fortune teller before..." the fortune teller whispered.

The new official had three things to do when he took office, and the first one affected her. It was really unlucky, but she also wanted to get the money, as she had a group of fortune tellers under her who were starving for money.

Qingque suddenly felt that the days before were so happy. Master Taibu, please come back soon. Little Qingque will stop slacking off, okay? Qingque held her forehead to prevent herself from being overwhelmed by the pressure. She really couldn't make so much money. She had been receiving the salary of a fortune teller and was still a moonlighter. "Go find the general and ask him to pay. Don't bother me now."

Qingque put the budget aside. Jingyuan copied so much money, it would not be too much to divide it with Taibusi. After that, there were dense divination tasks that had to be completed, and 90% of them required the use of the Qiongguan formation.

OK... I'll just go for it. It's just the Qiongguan formation, I can't learn it well...

……

"General, the fortune teller has been missing for three days. Should we make it public and mobilize the people?" Yan Qing bowed.

Jing Yuan had not had a good rest these days. Of course he knew who had done this, but he did not expect them to be so ruthless. This was the price he paid for being overconfident in Fu Xuan's ability.

Jing Yuan felt that he seemed to be getting old. He had a clear view of the situation in Luofu, the secret teachings of the King of Medicine, the dignitaries from all sides, and the rich forces from the outside world... But he had lost the fighting spirit of his youth. He was a little timid and not ruthless in doing anything. He always thought that there were strategies that could solve these problems more perfectly.

He originally thought that these dirty forces would come after him, the Luofu general, but he miscalculated. They would actually go directly to Fu Xuan who lived in seclusion behind the scenes. Fu Xuan was famous in Luofu for his divination. What on earth did they use to make Fu Xuan suffer such a big loss?

Even General Shen Ce can make mistakes due to overconfidence.

"It will be made public tomorrow." Jing Yuan sighed. Fu Xuan's disappearance would definitely be used by those secret disciples of the King of Medicine, but there was no other way at the moment. Even if it was concealed, all Luofu would soon know that Fu Xuan was missing. The helmsman of Luofu's direction was missing.

As for appointing Qingque, it was also a stopgap measure. The new generation of Luofu has not grown up yet, and there is a real lack of independent talents. Fu Xuan is an exception among exceptions, and it may take hundreds of years for an immortal boat to produce one.

Jing Yuan naturally has other backup plans. He can break up with those guys, but for Luo Fu, the blow will be devastating. However, if he continues to endure it at this time, will things get out of control in the end?

"In addition, Mo Feng has lost his whereabouts. I suspect that he has colluded with Mi Chuan. Could the disappearance of Taibu this time be related to him..." Yan Qing hadn't finished speaking.

"Since Fu Qing believes in him, there will be no problem with him. Perhaps he is the only one who can save Fu Xuan." Jing Yuan sighed.

When he decided to bring Fu Xuan and Mo Feng together, he naturally had his considerations. He knew the distance between the short-lived and the long-lived species, but he knew even more the regret of not being able to love someone. Fu Xuan also needed someone to help her untie her long-standing knot in her heart.

That's why Jing Yuan decided to take a gamble on fate and do the work of go-between.

But he misjudged Mo Feng's feelings for Fu Xuan. It was not love, but more like a pathological excuse to find the meaning of life.

He also underestimated the strength of Fu Xuan's heart knot. Fu Xuan's self-exile could not be broken without the right opportunity.
