Star Iron: Maple of Reincarnation

Chapter 53: The Sparrow God and the Grand Diviner

Afterwards, Mo Feng and Fu Xuan went to buy some night snacks and prepared to leave the night market.

After all, Fu Xuan has to work as usual tomorrow, and he can't stay out all night, right?

Just as the two of them were holding hands and about to walk out of Changletian Night Market.

"Self-draw..." A loud female voice reached the ears of the two. This voice was too familiar to the two. Who else could it be but Qingque? Mo Feng was not surprised. After all, it was Qingque. It would be abnormal if she didn't play cards here. But Fu Xuan was different.

"I... remember asking her to copy the summary of the Grand Diviner 20 times? Playing cards?" Fu Xuan's aura was obviously different. This time it was the pressure from the Grand Diviner Luofu. "Slacking off? And playing cards by yourself?"

"Wait for me here. I'm going to enforce the law impartially. It's very quick." Fu Xuan said, "Or you can come with me."

Mo Feng chuckled and shook his head, then pulled Fu Xuan and walked in.

Inside the Emperor Yuan Qiong Yu Card Hall, a girl in green was standing on a chair and killing everyone: "Hu Hu Hu... The undefeated mahjong god is back!"

Her poker friends were crushed by her, and she played ten games in a row. She won ten games in a row with Qingque. Her reputation as the God of Birds is not to be underestimated. Her poker friends lost all the Xundi they brought today, and they had to kneel down on durian again when they returned...

"Qingque, don't be so complacent. There will always be someone who can punish you!" the man said unwillingly. It was normal to feel a little resentful after losing so many games.

"Who can cure me? Even if the God of Joy Ahaha comes, he has to call me the God of Sparrow. How does the saying go, in the east there are the two pillars of Mo Yan, in the west there is the God of Sparrow Single Yi, and Emperor Yuan Qiong Yu. I am a professional!" Qingque said proudly.

"What if Master Taibu comes?" the card player suddenly asked.

"Even if she comes, she has to call me God Que. I, God Que, don't take a mere fortune teller seriously." Qingque said with a smile.

"Well, it is true that Taibu can't cure you." Fu Xuan's faint voice reached Qingque's ears. "Only the judge of the Ten Kings Department can make you understand the dangers of society."

"Strange, why do I hear the voice of old Taibu? Really, he must not have woken up yet." Qingque waved his hand and scratched his head.

"Haha, old man...haha, haha, haha." Fu Xuan's sneer was heard.

All the card players were staring at Qingque, who was also frozen.

Not only Qingque's table, the entire card hall was plunged into a low pressure, which made people shudder.

"Master Taibu... I said I was wrong, can you forgive me now?" Qingque turned his head stiffly.

"No, no, no, how dare I embarrass the God of Sparrow? Of course I have to ask the judge of the Ten Kings to invite the God of Sparrow to the teahouse to have some tea and chat about the ideals of life, right? I am a kind and amiable old man." Fu Xuan said with a smile.

"Master, I was wrong... I will never do it again next time..." Qingque's eyes immediately filled with tears. "Master, can you just deduct one year's salary from me, please?"

"Ahahaha, of course you can, my dear little Qingque, you are my future successor." Fu Xuan said calmly. "Then let's get back to the topic, have you finished copying the summary?"

"Of course..." Qingque said guiltily.

"The Taibu summary is about 10 words. I'll ask you to copy it times in total, words. It's been about three hours since I left, and you wrote words an hour. Even the company's typewriters are not as good as you. In other words, will you take over all the clerical work of Taibu Company in the future?" Fu Xuan said with a smile.

"If you sincerely regret your mistakes, I won't make it difficult for you. I won't even be angry if I see you only copied three times tomorrow morning. At least you did it seriously. What I want is your attitude. Unfortunately, I am very disappointed today. Do you really think I am an idiot? How can I not recognize your handwriting? How can I trust you to completely hand over the Taibu Division to you if you are like this? Do you think you are qualified for the Taibu Division that year?"

She kept on rambling for a long time, which was not in line with Fu Xuan's previous personality. She was really disappointed and a little sad.

As for Qingque calling her an old lady, she naturally knew it was a joke. Although she was a little angry, she didn't really take it seriously. What made her most angry was that she had no ambition at all. She originally thought that after being the fortune teller for a year, she would become more stable, but now it seems that the repression of that year made her even worse.

Maybe Qingque was not meant to be a fortune teller. I was too eager to succeed and ignored her feelings. Just like if Jingyuan forced her to be a general, she would be dissatisfied. There were many people in the Xianzhou Alliance who wanted to be fortune tellers and generals. One more or one less would not be too much.

"Qingque, if you think I'm really making things difficult for you, then don't be so picky. I was wrong to put pressure on you. I obviously don't like it. Don't do to others what you don't want others to do to you. I won't do it again in the future, I swear. But, I'm really disappointed." Fu Xuan shook his head. "Mo Feng, let's go. I've said everything I want to say. I'm sorry to have embarrassed you."

It was the first time that Qingque saw Fu Xuan giving her a long speech.

To be honest, she had been talking back in her heart just now. She didn't want to be the Grand Master, she just wanted to slack off. But because of the Grand Master's authority, she was also afraid of more severe punishment, so she didn't say it out loud.

But Fu Xuan's last words touched his heart.

She treated herself like this because she had high hopes for herself, but she obviously didn't need to do so.

Qingque had always known that Fu Xuan was a very gentle person at heart, but the pressure from work forced her to act very strict. This was the first time she felt some regret since leaving the position of Grand Fortune Teller.

I have let down someone who had high hopes for me. Why... I feel a little sad.

Why did he become a fortune teller? Qingque rarely thought about this question.

It was not until Fu Xuan left and disappeared that Qingque slowly came to his senses.

"I'm sorry, my fellow card players. I feel like I have done something wrong... For the time being, I don't want to play cards." Qingque said with a wry smile.

"It's okay, it's okay..." These card players all understood that the furious Taibu was not the most terrifying thing. What was terrifying was the Taibu who spoke the desperate truth in a calm tone.

Qingque left the card hall and ran towards Taibusi without looking back.

……

"Isn't that too much? For Qingque, she is not really suitable to be a fortune teller. It's her nature." Mo Feng stroked Fu Xuan's back and said softly. He actually always understood Qingque. Qingque and Fu Xuan had a good relationship. To others, they seemed to be quarreling, but the deeper the love, the more severe the criticism. If Fu Xuan didn't have high hopes for Qingque, he wouldn't bother to care.

But Fu Xuan's words were somewhat hurtful.

So Fu Xuan was in a low mood now. She was overwhelmed by anger and disappointment just now. It should be said that her emotions became more intense after she took the Wanshou Wuqing Pill, and she had not adapted to it for a while.

"Do you think I'm wrong?" Fu Xuan put his face on Mo Feng's chest.

"That's true, actually. She is so talented, it's a bit of a waste if she doesn't make progress. But... people are always complicated, just like you don't want to be a general anymore, right?" Mo Feng said tactfully.

"It's not all for you. I haven't lived for myself before. I became a Taibu and worked day and night just to fulfill this obsession. That's not my real ideal at all. I have always lived for others, for those who died."

"uh-huh."

"I want to try to live for myself. I am Fu Xuan, Fu Xuan first, and Luofu Taibu second. Being a general is too much responsibility, and life is too tiring. It was Jing Yuan who dragged you here to be a lobbyist, I knew he would do this, this bad guy." Fu Xuan said.

"If you don't want to be one, then don't be one. It's good to live for yourself. There are many people who want to be generals, and Xianzhou doesn't lack such a person. Let's live our own life."

"That's why I like you. Not because you saved me, but... you awakened the real me."

"I can't stand it if you keep saying these sweet words, stop it now..."

"Am I not ashamed? You are a bad guy too."
