Now I'll have to work overtime until tonight to finish the job.
After Fu Xuan left, his colleagues curiously gathered around:
"Qingque, what are you looking at? What could possibly make the Grand Diviner so angry? Even when you were caught secretly playing cards at the Jade Palace before, you weren't this angry."
Qingque froze. If her colleagues found out that she had been caught by Taibu reading Se Se's novels and notebooks, her life in Xianzhou Luofu would be over, right?
Even if she becomes financially independent and resigns in the future, there will still be rumors that she resigned because she was caught by the Grand Diviner while watching Se Se during work hours and was too ashamed to continue working.
What will her parents, relatives, neighbors and friends think of her then?
She could only survive by escaping to another universe through Luo Zhen's Mystic House, and then she was wanted for secretly leaving the Immortal Ship.
Thinking of that terrible end, Qingque's brain started working like never before, and she immediately responded:
"I stumbled upon a rumor online that General Jingyuan would rather pass the title of general to his illegitimate son than to the Grand Diviner, and she saw it."
"As you know, the Grand Diviner is very eager to obtain the position of general. Of course, he is very angry to see such rumors. If you ask me, Luofu should take strong action to crack down on the rumors and restore a clean online environment to Xianzhou."
"So that's it."
The colleague suddenly realized what was happening, and after returning to his seat, immediately took out the jade tablet and anonymously posted online:
"Did you know? General Jingyuan has an illegitimate son who is said to be the next General of Luofu."
In Luofu, the highest point of power is Jingyuan, who naturally attracts a lot of attention, not to mention such a sensational topic, which immediately drew a lot of attention.
AAA Luofu Douzhier: "Really? Is that true?"
Zhao Camera: "Really? Can the general of the Immortal Ship designate his own successor?"
Anonymous: "Of course it's true. I heard this from a friend, an insider, and I guarantee it's real and reliable."
Invincible Swordsman 123: "Who is your friend? The internet is not a lawless place. Don't think you can say whatever you want online. I can catch you anytime."
Anonymous: "Heh, are they going to shut us up? I think Luofu is doomed."
Rainbow7854: "The general is not that kind of person. If there is no evidence, please do not spread rumors."
Anonymous: "If you provide evidence, you can identify my friend. Forget it, even if it means going against the entire Luofu, I will protect her!"
This highly popular topic immediately attracted the attention of many people, and the heated debates surrounding it further amplified its popularity.
The post was quickly banned, but the buzz had already spread, and many people were discussing it on online forums outside of Luofu, as well as in their own private groups.
Meanwhile, Qingque was still working overtime.
Volume 1: Chapter 34 - Give Me Your Phone
Qingque worked overtime with great difficulty and finally finished the extra workload before leaving get off work.
"I'm exhausted."
Qingque returned home and started ordering takeout.
"No way, I can't stand this lousy job for even a second longer. I need to upload novels and comics as soon as possible, earn enough money, and then quit!"
Just then, there was a knock on the door:
"Open the gate, Cloud Cavalry!"
Qingque opened the door in confusion and saw Fu Xuan leading the way:
"Qingque, your matter has been settled. Come with us."
what?
Qingque was dumbfounded. Is it illegal to make money using works from other worlds? I'm just an agent, and I haven't even done it yet!
Only after sitting on the cold bench did Qingque realize what had happened.
The excuse about her feelings was something she made up on the spot to avoid social embarrassment. Her colleagues took it out of the public eye and bragged about it online, which caused a stir and had a negative impact.
After the colleague was identified offline, she immediately gave out her name, hoping to get a reduced sentence through meritorious service.
If she goes to jail, the Tabuan will fire her.
Qingque looked at Diting with a look of utter disbelief: "That's not what I said. My original words were that I happened to come across a rumor online that General Jingyuan would rather pass the general's position to his illegitimate son than to the Grand Diviner."
"It's not the same thing she was talking about at all!"
Fu Xuan asked, "Then why did you say those things to her?"
In her view, Qingque had always adhered to the principle of never getting involved in trouble and wishing she could be invisible. Her sudden action was different from her usual style.
In addition, Qingque went to that mysterious place today, and she was a little worried that Qingque might have been affected, so she specifically asked to come along.
Otherwise, such a trivial matter wouldn't require her, one of the Six Emperors, to concern herself with it.
"Well..."
Qingque glanced at the Cloud Cavalry who were taking notes, her words vague.
"It's because you scolded me today, Master Taibu. She was curious why you scolded me, so I just made up that sentence on the spot. You can understand, Master Taibu, right? I can't just tell her the truth."
Fu Xuan understood; Qing Que hadn't changed, she was just unlucky.
"Deserved it."
She breathed a sigh of relief, and a Yunqi soldier standing beside her asked curiously, "Why did the Grand Diviner scold you?"
Fu Xuan said, "This is unrelated to this case; it's a matter of work."
The Yunqi Army wisely refrained from asking any further questions.
One of the Six Emperors personally intervened, and the Cloud Cavalry was also sensible enough not to make things difficult for Qingque. After taking her statement, they let her leave directly. This was no big deal, and there was no need to leave a criminal record.
After leaving, Fu Xuan said, "Do you know how much trouble you've caused this time? There are already many eyes watching the position of general. Even on other immortal ships, there are people who don't like him. Even if the rumors subside, the impact will not disappear."
Qingque was shocked: "Then I won't go to jail, will I?"
Could it be that the store manager was right, and he has to go to jail to get rid of his job?
"It's alright, I can give you a chance to redeem yourself."
Fu Xuan asked, "Do you think that hut is dangerous?"
Qingque immediately understood: "Grand Diviner, do you want to establish a cooperative relationship with the shopkeeper?"
"It's just to get to know them a little."
Fu Xuan said, "We can't pretend we don't know that we can freely enter the immortal ship."
"I am willing to give my heart for Luofu and for the Immortal Ship!"
Qingque declared righteously, "From now on, I will be in charge of liaising with Xianzhou and the shop manager. I will take full responsibility for all the dangers!"
In that case, wouldn't she be able to enjoy her job at the tax office while playing cards with the shop manager? She wouldn't even need to publish novels or comics online; she could just retire.
"It seems there's no danger at all."
Fu Xuan understood. "I just wanted you to ask the shopkeeper how to truly quell the rumors about the general."
She wasn't sure what the price would be for commissioning the store manager, so she used this trivial matter to test the waters.
Despite losing the opportunity to retire, Qingque was not discouraged. "It's alright," she thought. "With such a big incident, the Grand Diviner certainly won't care about my secret online money-making scheme."
By the time she finds out, I might already be financially independent!
"I'm going right now!"
Qingque closed her eyes, thinking about the hut she had entrusted with, and in front of Fu Xuan, she conjured a large door out of thin air and walked in.
"That's amazing, can Qingque really go in anytime?"
Fu Xuan immediately thought that if an enemy were to invade, wouldn't they be able to drive straight in, completely ignoring the various defenses of the immortal ship? They could even break into the Divine Strategy Palace and assassinate Jing Yuan.
Inside the hut, upon hearing Qingque's slightly aggrieved words, Luo Zhen was overjoyed, while Fengchuan Xiangzi, incredulous, immediately explained:
“I asked the housekeeper to download it for me. I usually study music and read sheet music, and I never look at those obscene things.”
Luo Zhen smiled and said, "Let's just say that."
Toyokawa Shoko became anxious: "That's how it is."
"really."
Luo Zhen stroked his chin. "You're a lesbian, so if you're going to read anything, it should be a lesbian book."
He asked Qingque, "Are those lesbian versions?"
Qingque shook his head, and Fengchuan Xiangzi wished she could suffocate him with her maid skirt: "I'm not a lesbian, I just formed a band!"
Luo Zhen said, "I know, it's a girl band, lesbians are normal, it's the same in my world, there's no need to be embarrassed."
Qingque asked curiously, "Why is it normal for girl bands to have lesbians?"
"Because playing musical instruments will cause calluses on your hands."
?
Qingque looked bewildered, while Fengchuan Xiangzi blushed slightly. Luo Zhen exclaimed in surprise, "You actually understood?"
Toyokawa Shoko's expression calmed down: "No, I didn't understand. I don't understand what nonsense you're talking about."
Luo Zhen smiled without saying a word; before him lay a commissioned task:
[Request: Qingque hopes you can help clear General Jingyuan's name]
[Reward for Commission: 100 Commission Crystals]
The reward isn't much, but that's okay. I'll just go to Immortal Boat Luofu and see if I can snag some good stuff.
"Let's go, I'll go take a look around the Immortal Ship and take care of this matter for you while I'm at it."
"I'm not going."
Shoko Toyokawa said, "I'll stay here to entertain guests, so that when other people come over, there's no one to watch over them, and I can also keep an eye on Doro."
Stepping onto the land of the immortal ship Luofu, Luo Zhen looked around:
"Qingque, where is Fu Xuan you mentioned? Do I have to go and pay him an audience? That's putting on a show of grandstanding."
"I'm here!"
