Tingyun's words of protest made Qingque hesitate for a moment, clearly conflicted in her heart.
Seeing that Qingque did not hang up immediately, Tingyun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, then quickly took the opportunity to inform Qingque of Topaz's identity and her request.
After hearing that someone from the Interastral Peace Corporation wanted to ask for her help, Qingque was first stunned, then subconsciously wanted to refuse.
To Qingque, she was not very fond of the people from the Company. In the girl's mind, while the Interastral Peace Corporation could not be called notorious, it was definitely not anything good either.
As a small employee who loved slacking off and was content as long as she could live her own little life comfortably, cooperating with the Interastral Peace Corporation or helping them was definitely not a good choice.
Moreover, the one who had bestowed the Causality mark on Topaz was an Emanator of Causality. This point seemed…
According to Yun Fan, besides herself, the publicly known Emanator of Causality, there were two other Emanators of Causality in this world.
One of them was a "Stellaron Hunter" named Firefly. Yun Fan had given her the highest-level Emanator blessing — the kind that was even higher than her own. Ugh… it really made her a little jealous…
Stellaron Hunters and the Interastral Peace Corporation had always been like fire and water. In that case, the mark definitely could not have been given by Firefly.
As for the other one, Belobog's Supreme Guardian Cocolia, the highest ruler of Jarilo-VI. That person had only recently broken through to Emanator level, and publicly she was still just a Pathstrider. So the possibility of it being her was also not high.
Of the three Emanators of Causality, if it was not Cocolia or Firefly, it couldn't possibly be herself, right? That was impossible!
After eliminating all other possibilities, Qingque easily came to a conclusion. The one who had bestowed the Causality mark on Miss Topaz was most likely her own husband. Although she had never seen the other party in person, she imagined it must be a great beauty.
"This… I roughly understand now. Sister Tingyun, please hand the Jade Abacus to Miss Topaz. I want to speak with her personally for a bit."
On the other end of the call, Tingyun glanced at Topaz in front of her and gave a slight meaningful look, then handed the Jade Abacus in her hand to the other party.
"Mm."
Topaz nodded slightly, took the Jade Abacus from Tingyun, took a deep breath, and placed it beside her ear.
"Hello, Miss Qingque. I am Topaz."
Qingque and Topaz chatted for quite a while. The two seemed to hit it off instantly. After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Qingque finally hung up the call.
On the other side, the view returned to Topaz and Tingyun.
"Miss Tingyun, your Jade Abacus."
Topaz smiled as she returned the Jade Abacus in her hand to Tingyun. The corners of the girl's mouth were slightly raised. It was obvious that the conversation with Qingque had made her very happy.
"So, Miss Topaz, did little sister Qingque agree?" Watching the smile on the girl's lips, Tingyun roughly understood the final answer. Even so, she still asked as if she didn't know.
"Mm. Miss Qingque and I have reached an agreement. She will meet me once. The time is set for this afternoon."
Topaz's face was full of happy smiles. In the conversation just now, Qingque had agreed to meet her first. As for whether she had the ability to replenish the energy for the mark, that would only be known after they met.
"I see. Then congratulations, Miss Topaz." Tingyun gave a slight bow and congratulated her using Xianzhou etiquette.
"This is all thanks to Miss Tingyun's help. I, Topaz, will remember this favor."
"If in the future you need my help with anything, as long as it does not harm the Company's interests, Topaz will definitely not refuse!"

"Hahaha! Good wine, good wine! Bartender, give me another glass!"
At the VIP bar in The Reverie Hotel, our Mr. Boothill was still happily gulping down the liquor in his cup. Looking at the pile of empty glasses stacked beside this Galaxy Ranger, in just this short half system hour, no one knew exactly how much malt fruit juice this guy had drunk.
Let us shift our view to the side. Beside Boothill, our cold-faced little azure dragon Mr. Dan Heng was solemnly fiddling with the phone in his hand. His pair of dragon claws moved with great vigor as he rapidly typed on the screen, chatting with someone unknown.
It is worth mentioning that while Boothill was guzzling malt fruit juice beside him, a glass of goat milk was placed in front of Mr. Dan Heng. To be precise, it was the Xianzhou specialty 'Floating Goat Milk'.
Floating Goat Milk is a specialty of the Xianzhou Alliance, also known as Sunny Soft Milk. Generally speaking, this item is very difficult to taste outside the region.
Of course, this is not because of its high cost, but because of the special nature of Floating Goat Milk, which makes it difficult to preserve and transport. Its shelf life is very short, so it is hard to find outside the Xianzhou Alliance.
『Dan Heng: Did something happen in the Dreamscape? I just received news that an Emanator of Nihility named Acheron has sneaked into the Dreamscape.
Yun Fan: Mm, that is correct. I have already seen that Emanator, though only from afar. We didn't have much interaction.
Dan Heng: I currently cannot contact Himeko or March. Can you reach them?
Yun Fan: Ah, about that. They went to the "reality" within the Dreamscape. That world is no longer under the Family's control, so it's normal that you can't contact them. Don't worry, they're fine.
Dan Heng: That's good. I will also enter the Dreamscape world in a while. I'll come find you then.
Yun Fan: Ah? There's no need for that, right?
Dan Heng: Is there a problem?
Yun Fan: Mm, I have to accompany my wife. Why would a big man like you come and join in the fun? Even Robin, you should know her.
Dan Heng: …Alright, I understand.』
The conversation between the two ended there. Dan Heng turned off the phone screen again and looked at Boothill beside him with a speechless expression, one hand lightly pressing against his forehead.
"Hm? Brother Dan Heng, why are you looking at me like that? Do you want a glass too?"
"No, I'll pass. Hurry up and finish drinking. Once you're done with this glass, we'll head to the Dreamscape world." Dan Heng no longer wanted to say anything. He only felt that the reputation of the Nameless was almost completely ruined by Boothill.
"Hahaha, no problem. Wait a moment."
