Chapter 84 - Fu Xuan Was Also Sleepless

Dan Shu heard Fu Zhu's icy tone and dared not question further, merely lowering her head in silence.

Fu Zhu glanced at her. The purpose of today's trip had been achieved. He turned to Xing and gave a nod.

"Let's go."

Xing nodded and followed Fu Zhu out.

Seeing Fu Zhu about to leave, Dan Shu hurriedly chased after him and asked, "Lord Phantylia, what should I do next…?"

"Await my signal. Don't act rashly."

Fu Zhu left this sentence behind and departed with Xing.

A few minutes later, once they were far from the teahouse, Xing finally couldn't help but speak.

"Old Bro, were we really just 'summoned by Abundance'? But why didn't I see or hear anything?"

"We were summoned, but I was the one who was summoned. I was worried you'd be in danger if you stayed there alone, so I pulled your hand to be summoned together."

Xing sighed with a hint of disappointment. "Honestly, I'm starting to get a little jealous of you, Old Bro. How come you're always getting summoned by Aeons? Are we really born from the same mother?"

Fu Zhu rolled his eyes at her. Obviously not!

After a moment of dejection, Xing perked up again and asked, "Old Bro, are we going straight back to rest now?"

"No! We need to find Fu Xuan or Jing Yuan."

After talking with Dan Shu, Fu Zhu felt that this matter was quite serious. Moreover, it concerned a Stellaron. They had to quickly relay this information to the Luofu.

Otherwise, if things got troublesome, they would have even more to do.

Fu Zhu had never been one to sit back and wait. When he could take the initiative and seize the advantage, he would never just sit idly by.

"But we don't know where Fu Xuan or General Jing Yuan live."

Fu Zhu pulled his phone out of his pocket and waved it at Xing. "What era are we in? If we don't know, can't we just call and ask?"

With that, Fu Zhu directly dialed Fu Xuan's number.

After a few rings, the call connected. Fu Xuan's somewhat lazy and drowsy voice came from the other end of the phone. It was clear she had just fallen asleep not long ago.

"Hello…"

Fu Zhu looked up at the sky and said to Fu Xuan on the other end of the call with a smile, "Fu Xuan, don't sleep. Come out and look at the moon, okay?"

Fu Xuan: ???

Fu Xuan moved the phone away from her ear and looked at the name displayed on the screen. It was Fu Zhu.

This nonsensical way of speaking, she almost thought it was Qingque!

But why would Fu Zhu suddenly ask her out to look at the moon?

Could it be…

Fu Xuan's mind couldn't help but recall the contents of some books she had confiscated from Qingque. In one of them, the male protagonist said to the female protagonist, "The moonlight is beautiful," and this phrase, "the moonlight is beautiful," supposedly meant "I love you" in a certain region.

Fu Zhu was suddenly inviting her out to see the moon now. Could it be that he wanted to say that too?

But they had only just met, right? Although she did care quite a bit about Fu Zhu, that was also because of the divination.

Then why would Fu Zhu ask her out to see the moon? Was it because he cared about her too?

Just as Fu Xuan was lost in her wild thoughts, a slightly soft voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Old Bro, are you sure you're not seriously ill? You've even rendered the Great Diviner speechless!"

"Ahem, what do you know! This is called being prepared, just in case someone is eavesdropping!"

Fu Xuan, who had been blushing due to her own wild thoughts, immediately felt several dark lines appear on her smooth forehead when she clearly heard Fu Zhu on the other end of the call with another young woman.

"Fine… I understand."

Fu Xuan agreed with some disappointment, then hung up the phone, got out of bed, and changed out of her pajamas.

She had just finished a remote meeting with Jing Yuan not long ago and hadn't even slept for long before being woken up.

If the person inviting her wasn't Fu Zhu, she wouldn't have even bothered getting up!

Not long after, Fu Xuan found Fu Zhu and Xing, who were eating skewers at a barbecue stall, and called out to them.

"Fu Zhu, Xing."

Fu Zhu turned around, waved at Fu Xuan, and pointed to the empty seat opposite him.

"Fu Xuan, hurry up and come over."

Fu Xuan nodded and sat down opposite Fu Zhu.

As soon as she sat down, Fu Zhu called out to the owner.

"Boss, get her a sweet drink."

The boss nodded. When he turned his head and saw that the person sitting opposite was actually the Great Diviner Fu Xuan, his eyes widened in surprise.

Seeing his expression, Fu Xuan had no choice but to instruct, "The matter of my presence here must not be spread."

The boss nodded repeatedly and quickly went to prepare Fu Xuan's drink.

Only after watching the boss leave did Fu Xuan turn to Fu Zhu to ask about the important matter.

"Fu Zhu, why did you ask me out at this hour? Is something wrong?"

Fu Zhu nodded, ate the meat skewer in his hand, then pulled a napkin from the side and calmly wiped his mouth.

"Fu Xuan, I'm about to tell you something. You absolutely must not be surprised!"

Fu Xuan felt that Fu Zhu was underestimating her. She huffed lightly, crossing her arms with a hint of displeasure.

"Hmph, who do you take me for? Since becoming the Great Diviner, there's nothing that can surprise me!"

Except for divining that you are my fated person.

"That's good then."

Fu Zhu gathered his thoughts slightly, then said, "Phantylia, do you know her?"

Fu Xuan nodded. "I've heard of her. One of the Annihilation Gang under Nanook, the Aeon of [Destruction]."

"Annihilation Gang? So that means she's an Emanator?"

This time, it was Fu Zhu and Xing's turn to be surprised. They hadn't expected that the one intending to subvert the Luofu would actually be an Emanator of Destruction!

Fu Xuan looked at the surprised pair with a puzzled expression. "You haven't even said anything yet. Why are you surprised just by the mention of Phantylia?"

Fu Zhu and Xing exchanged a glance, and the former said seriously, "What if I told you that Phantylia has come to the Luofu with a Stellaron… would you be surprised?"

Fu Xuan blinked blankly, looked up at the moon, then looked down at Fu Zhu.

"Are you not awake, or am I not awake?"

Fu Zhu wasn't in a hurry. He took out his phone and played the recording he had secretly made earlier for Fu Xuan to hear.

After Fu Xuan silently listened to the entire recording, she abruptly stood up.

"What you said is actually true?!"

"Don't panic yet, there's more to panic about later."

Fu Zhu pulled Fu Xuan back down to her seat and continued.

"Do you know who was talking to me in the recording?"

"Who?!"

"The Alchemist Captain of the Alchemy Commission, Dan Shu. She is the leader of the Disciples of the Medicine King."

As soon as Fu Zhu finished speaking, Fu Xuan stood up again.

"What?! There are actually Disciples of the Medicine King hidden within the Alchemy Commission, and one of them even holds a high position?!"

Fu Xuan felt a little dizzy at this moment. If she had known Fu Zhu would bring her such shocking news, she would have rather stayed home and slept before hearing it!

Fu Xuan took a few deep breaths, forcibly suppressed her anxious feelings, and sat down again. She turned to look at Fu Zhu, and just as she was about to say something, she vaguely sensed that something was off about Fu Zhu's aura. She quickly reached out, grasped his wrist, and carefully examined it.

The next moment, Fu Xuan abruptly stood up again.

"Fu Zhu, how did you get tainted by something dirty outside!"
