Looking at Stelle lying on the ground while Bailu helped loosen her muscles and joints, Mr. Yang pushed up his glasses.
He was just about to observe the Ambrosial Arbor. As he raised his head halfway...
He heard movement from nearby and quietly lowered it again, turning to look at the newcomers.
"Hahaha, you all are really full of energy."
A familiar voice came from behind them. Everyone turned around and saw Jing Yuan arriving with the Master Diviner.
"General! Master Diviner!"
Seeing the newcomers, aside from Stelle, who was lying on the ground pointing ahead for no clear reason...
Levi, March 7th, Mr. Yang, and the others all greeted them politely just like the Cloud Knights.
Jing Yuan acknowledged them and then raised his head, carefully observing the revived Ambrosial Arbor.
After a long while, he said, "This sight is likely something that even the long-lived species of the Luofu may never witness in their entire lives."
"Qingque!"
As soon as he finished speaking, Fu Xuan's sharp shout followed.
Jing Yuan turned around.
He saw Fu Xuan dragging "Qingque" back by the ear, while "Qingque" held onto Fu Xuan's wrist with a pained expression.
"Master Fu Xuan, please show some mercy. I'm just a small diviner. There's no way I have the ability to come to a place like this at a time like this."
"Qingque" looked at Fu Xuan with a mournful face.
'Did I imitate her well or not!'
'...'
'Not at all!'
"No ability?"
If she hadn't seen it with her own eyes, Fu Xuan might actually have believed that.
"If even you shouldn't be here, then no one should be here!"
With a stern face, Fu Xuan kicked him in the backside.
"Stand up straight! It's not like the Plagues Author has broken in! Why are you so scared?"
Your legs are shaking like a sieve.
Even that ghost-fearing trainee judge from the Ten-Lords Commission would probably do better than Qingque right now.
Levi put on a miserable expression.
"I-it's a natural reaction."
'Just tell me if I nailed the imitation!'
'My legs have never shaken!'
'Like? Like my ass!'
'You're bringing shame to the name Qingque!'
'Who would believe that?'
'When you make a comeback from a hopeless hand of cards, your legs don't shake?'
'After winning, your legs shake so much you need support just to leave the table.'
'And that's called "never shaken"?'
Levi rolled his eyes.
'...That doesn't count! I've never had my legs shake out of fear!'
['My Legs Have Never Shaken']
'...'
'For f*ck's sake!'
Watching the interaction between the two, Jing Yuan chuckled.
Turning to Fu Xuan, he said, "Current intelligence confirms that, just as expected, all of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus have gathered at the Alchemy Commission."
After suppression by the Cloud Knights, most of the remaining Disciples of Sanctus Medicus had gathered around the Supreme Elixir Chamber.
And on the only path leading there, they had set up numerous obstacles.
The thing giving Jing Yuan the biggest headache was that demonic mist capable of triggering mara-struck conditions.
It could be forced through, but the losses would be enormous.
"However, before coming here, Fu Xuan performed a divination on this battle."
Two words.
"A great victory."
"The only people I can think of who could bring about such a result are probably you three."
"Huh? We're fighting the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus? Seriously?"
Watching Stelle spring to her feet like a carp, Jing Yuan smiled.
"The three of you won't need to fight the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus head-on."
The earlier battles had already inflicted heavy losses on them. The only thing holding back the Cloud Knights now was the demonic mist on that road.
As long as the mist was removed, the Cloud Knights could naturally crush the Disciples occupying the Supreme Elixir Chamber and proceed to Scalegorge Waterscape to retrieve the Stellaron responsible for reviving the Ambrosial Arbor.
Then seal it.
After that, whatever plans the outsiders lurking around the Luofu had would disappear along with the Stellaron's sealing.
Mr. Yang nodded.
"We'll cooperate."
"Then Jing Yuan offers his thanks in advance."
After expressing his thanks, Jing Yuan turned toward Qingque beside Fu Xuan.
Looking at her absent-minded expression, he asked, "Do you know where Levi went?"
From Fu Xuan, he had learned that it was actually Levi who discovered the abnormalities in the Alchemy Commission and then informed Fu Xuan through Qingque.
Fu Xuan had then informed him.
A lot of time must have been spent in the middle of that process, but when he gave the order to begin the purge, the timing had been exactly right.
It was difficult not to suspect that there was something else behind it.
After learning from "Qingque" that Levi had gone to a shelter to take refuge...
Jing Yuan thought for a moment.
"I remember your name is Qingque, correct?"
"You are absolutely right."
Hearing Levi's reply, Jing Yuan's mouth twitched.
Stelle stuck to her original statement.
"If that's not Levi, I'll eat it!"
Fu Xuan frowned slightly and glared at Levi.
"Have you forgotten everything I taught you before?"
That really wasn't something he knew.
Memories weren't shared.
Qingque said nothing, which clearly meant she had forgotten too.
Levi could only test the waters.
"When you're caught drinking, gambling, and fooling around, don't mention the Divination Commission's name?"
"..."
Fu Xuan lowered her head in silence, quietly clenching her fists.
"When going out, don't carry anything related to diviners, so people won't know we're diviners and embarrass the Divination Commission?"
"..."
"If you get arrested and have anything from the Divination Commission on you, remember to destroy it so nobody finds out you're a diviner and causes a huge embarrassment?"
Listening to Levi's nonsense, Fu Xuan was reaching her limit.
At that moment, Jing Yuan smiled and said, "Master Fu, is this the reason no one in the Divination Commission has ever violated regulations?"
That sentence finally pushed Fu Xuan over the edge!
She punched Levi right on the head while he was counting on his fingers.
"What I taught you was that even after leaving the Divination Commission, you mustn't forget your identity as a diviner! Don't act like you just did and embarrass the Divination Commission through your lack of manners!"
Wasn't that still basically the same thing... don't embarrass the Divination Commission?
Bang!
"Hiss!"
After another punch, Levi crouched on the ground holding his forehead.
This time Fu Xuan had been serious. It wasn't a light tap like the first one.
Seeing Fu Xuan angry for the first time, Jing Yuan watched the scene with interest.
Only when Fu Xuan turned to look at him did he straighten his expression and return to the matter at hand.
"I've decided."
He looked at the crouching "Qingque," who was holding her head defensively.
"To hand command of this operation over to Qingque."
"Huh?!"
Fu Xuan's face was full of shock.
'Give command to Qingque?'
'This isn't a joke?'
Although she had witnessed Qingque's strength.
Commanding the Cloud Knights in battle wasn't something strength alone could accomplish.
Only after experiencing countless battles could one achieve the near-prophetic command ability that Jing Yuan possessed.
She had assumed Jing Yuan would still be commanding this time, perhaps letting her gain some experience at most.
Who could have guessed he would hand it to Qingque?
"Ah?!"
Fu Xuan wasn't the only one shocked.
Qingque herself was shocked.
Levi was equally shocked.
'Me command the Cloud Knights? Seriously?'
Then she felt relieved.
Good thing Levi was possessing her today. He could handle the command work.
'Speaking of which, hey Levi, do you know how to command troops?'
"Piece of cake~"
Levi stood up from the ground, cleared his throat, and calmly extended his right hand.
Everyone looked toward his palm.
There was nothing there.
No one knew what he meant.
Even Jing Yuan didn't understand what he was trying to do.
At that moment, Levi spoke, "Don't you think my hand is missing something, Master Fu...?"
