Jing Yuan was quite relaxed. He looked at Qingque, who was following behind with his head down like an ostrich.
He said with a bit of evil humor:
"The person behind you is the diviner Qingque who brought the guests here...right? Thank you for your hard work."
"Eh...ah, it's not hard, it's not hard, I'm just leading the way..."
Qingque really didn't expect that she would be called out again. She was a little stuttering for a moment. How could she, a mere fortune teller, have such a direct conversation with General Jing Yuan?
Fu Xuan, who was standing by, couldn't stand it anymore. She knew without even thinking that this person was probably doing it on purpose.
"Hey, Qingque, come over here."
"Uh-huh!"
Qingque had never felt that Master Diviner's call was so pleasant to the ear.
If she were in the wrong place right now, she would have immediately ordered ten times the amount of Startaro Bubble Tea with sugar for Master Diviner.
Lin Shuang found it funny to see Qingque quickly running behind Fu Xuan and hiding like an invisible figure.
"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's talk about the outcome of yesterday's incident..."
Fu Xuan took over the topic directly without giving Jing Yuan time to speak in order to prevent him from starting to ramble on.
Yanqing on the side took the initiative to step forward and said:
"Let me tell Miss Lin about the handling of the Cloud Knights."
Having not slept all night yesterday, there seemed to be some fatigue in Yanqing's eyes.
"The person in charge yesterday was named Song Li. He retired from the Cloud Knights fifty years ago and later joined the Land and Measure Division. Although he is no longer a Cloud Knight, his behavior was bad, and after investigation, it was found that he had a number of previous criminal records. Therefore, he was punished according to military law. The other accomplices were all expelled from the army and sent to prison."
"The people involved and the final verdict will be announced on the Xianzhou Luofu public platform. The Xianzhou Cloud Knights and the Six Commissions will conduct strict self-inspections and resolutely prevent this vicious incident from happening again."
Yanqing was obviously extremely dissatisfied with this incident. He could not accept that there would be such a person in the Cloud Knights.
Fortunately, the general was determined to thoroughly investigate the Cloud Knights, so there was no resentment in his tone.
Jing Yuan on the side nodded in satisfaction at the extension and then said:
"I wonder if Miss Lin Shuang is satisfied with this result?"
"Yanqing and Fu Xuan have great righteousness in their hearts, and everything can be done according to the laws of the Xianzhou Luofu."
Jing Yuan's smile widened, and he made a gesture of invitation:
"That's great. This farce made you laugh. Fu Xuan and I both think that we should give Miss Lin Shuang some compensation. I think Fu Xuan also mentioned this to you yesterday. I wonder what Miss Lin Shuang likes and dislikes."
Lin Shuang thought about it and realized that she didn't have much need at the moment, so it would be better to let this debt of favor continue.
"It's not a big deal to me. General Jing Yuan, instead of thinking about my likes and dislikes, you should use this energy to think about how to care for those who need help more on the Xianzhou Luofu."
Although it was not said explicitly, Jing Yuan, who already knew the whole story, could naturally hear that Lin Shuang was referring to the one who had disabilities.
As for Lin Shuang, she didn't need anything urgently right now.
But if we can start from Jing Yuan and, in the entire Xianzhou, from top to bottom and from a social level, we can try to take care of more people with congenital disabilities.
Those who really need help may be able to live better in the next hundreds or even thousands of years.
At the same time, not only did Lin Shuang's reputation soar among the top leaders, but Xianzhou also had to keep this favor. If Xianzhou's reforms were done better in the future, the weight of this favor would be even higher.
Isn't this what a debt of favor is?
And if Dan Shu knew that this was the result of Lin Shuang's efforts, his favorability towards her would increase even more.
She's still hoping to draw two more cards from Dan Shu.
"Hahaha—I think little friend Lin Shuang is the one with a noble heart. But as the Arbiter-General of the Xianzhou Luofu, it would be a shame if I didn't give the guest some compensation. I heard that little friend Lin Shuang is good at using a great sword, so how about I give you a weapon in my personal name?"
Lin Shuang's eyes lit up. She hadn't found the time to go to the Artisanship Commission to spend money yet, and Jing Yuan was going to give her one. That was great.
"Thank you very much, General Jing Yuan."
"Well, after this is over, how about I personally accompany you to the factory? On the way, we can discuss the styles you like..."
"Ahem—General! Let's get down to business first."
Seeing that Jing Yuan was about to go off topic, Fu Xuan finally couldn't help but cough twice, stare at him, and call him "General," asking him to finish the main business first.
"Okay, okay, oh, Fu Xuan is still so impatient."
Jing Yuan smiled helplessly and changed the subject.
"There are some small gifts; I'll tell little friend Lin Shuang later. Now let's talk about business first."
Seeing Jing Yuan's expression restrained a bit, Lin Shuang couldn't help but become curious. Is there anything else he wants to say?
"What business?"
"Of course it's about the secret teachings of the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus and the mysterious Emanator. And... I wonder if little friend Lin Shuang has ever heard of the Heliobus."
Fu Xuan on the side curled her lips, and she knew that Jing Yuan really asked directly!
"Oh—Master Diviner told you after seeing me yesterday, right? There is indeed a Heliobus in my body that provides me with power. I can't explain the details in a few words, but it is similar to the way Xianzhou sealed the Flint Emperor in the Xianzhou Zhuming and used the Heliobus to provide energy."
When Yanqing heard this, he was a little bit overwhelmed, and Qingzu, who had been silent all this time, almost popped her eyes out.
They said that the seal of Flamewheel Forge was used to provide energy for the Xianzhou Zhuming, but conversely, it was also using the entire Xianzhou Zhuming to seal it.
This person is so good that she just seals a Heliobus in her body and carries it with him.
The principle is indeed the same.
But this thing is just like the Xianzhou people and the Abundance people. The principles seem to be similar, but in fact, they are a world apart.
Can an entire Xianzhou Ship and a miniaturized device that can be carried with you be on the same level?
No way!
Their Xianzhou Ship can seal the Heliobus meant for one entity, but that is all they can do. If they want to squeeze the Heliobus's power regardless of their will, they have to use large-scale equipment.
The technology gap between them is several generations.
Jing Yuan also showed a surprised expression. Lin Shuang's words really frightened him.
However, no one present asked any further questions.
Instead, Lin Shuang continued talking about this topic:
"Since General Jingyuan mentioned the Heliobus, I just happen to have some information about the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus. I wonder if the general is interested."
"Oh, I wonder if little friend Lin Shuang has any important information."
When Lin Shuang heard this, she didn't say anything directly but blinked at Jing Yuan.
Jing Yuan laughed when he saw this:
"Okay, oh, little friend Lin Shuang is a wonderful person. If it is really related to the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus, how about the Xianzhou Luofu owing you another favor?"
"The Disciples of Sanctus Medicus are related to a Lord Ravager named Phantylia, whose true form is also a Heliobus."
Needless to say, the expressions of everyone present, whether it was Jing Yuan or Fu Xuan, became serious.
