"It is normal that you haven't seen me before."
Cerydra did not mind answering her question.
"I am not a local here. Today is my first time on the Luofu."
"What do you mean?"
Hearing this, Qingque looked at her with surprise.
"You're that strong on your first try? Are you hacking?"
Although the game of Celestial Jade relies somewhat on luck, it still depends a little on one's own skill.
Touching it for the first time, it's hard to even figure out the rules, let alone how to play.
And Cerydra...
Qingque remembered that she just watched from the sidelines for a while before going directly onto the field.
Hiss, this child's talent is terrifying, comparable to her own!
One must know that the game of Celestial Jade was initially lost to history. It was Qingque who, having nothing to do, reorganized its rules and brought this brain-burning tile game back to the modern Xianzhou.
In the domain of Celestial Jade,
She could completely be called Matriarch Que!
And as the matriarch of this trade, for Qingque to give Cerydra such a high evaluation,
One can imagine her optimism towards her.
"Chess and tiles are always connected; the person is the key."
To this, Cerydra replied indifferently.
"Not bad, not bad. Although I don't understand what you mean, it feels like it should be very impressive."
It wasn't Qingque's fault for not understanding.
After all, she only treated tiles as leisure entertainment, while Cerydra treated them as a reflection of reality.
Treating a game of chess as a battlefield.
So Cerydra would not lose, and absolutely could not lose.
"My name is Qingque. What is your name?"
Qingque introduced herself while asking for her name.
"Cerydra."
Cerydra, making friends through chess, replied with a smile.
"Indeed, one hears it and knows it's an outworlder, ha."
Stinking outworlders coming to our Luofu to want to...
"Cerydra, will you settle on the Luofu in the future?"
Qingque took out her Jade Abacus and laughed, heh heh.
"Let's add each other as friends. I'll call you when we are three missing one!"
It was rare to meet a friend of the same height (highlight this point) who was also good at playing Celestial Jade.
Qingque had to consider if this was the only chance in her life to make a close friend.
"Adding contact information is fine."
As Cerydra spoke, she successfully added Qingque as a friend.
"However, I probably won't be able to settle on the Luofu. I will probably only stay for a few more days."
Cerydra's spoken words made Qingque immediately let out a disappointed, drawn-out 'eh'.
"When that person comes, I will have to leave."
"Which person?"
Qingque was somewhat confused, and at the same time looked Cerydra up and down.
"Hiss... Your family?"
Cerydra was not a Xianzhou native, which meant the probability of her being a long-life species was very small.
"Family?"
Hearing these two words, Cerydra was stunned.
Family...
To be honest, these two words were somewhat distant from her.
Because she had been a wandering orphan since she was small. Maybe she had parents, maybe she didn't.
Anyway, she had never seen them.
What was her relationship with Leon? She hadn't thought about this question in detail.
From the relationship between passenger and Navigator, the two should be Monarch and Subject.
A clear superior and subordinate.
But aside from occasionally playing the fool and uttering a sentence about his official title outside,
He had always told them that everyone was equal.
Then, what relationship could be considered equal?
Cerydra felt that not only her, but the other Golden Progeny hadn't thought about this question either.
After thinking about it seriously for a bit, Cerydra said:
"En, yes, he is my family."
An equal relationship, there should only be family, right?
Although she had never experienced what it felt like to have family, Cerydra felt that having family should be like this.
Everyone on the Astral Express was each other's family.
Cerydra thought this way.
"?"
After receiving her admission, Qingque felt she seemed to have led a girl astray.
From not being a long-life species, Cerydra's height,
And the fact that she came to the Luofu accompanied by family.
Qingque reached a conclusion—
She is a minor!
Damn, why didn't you say so earlier!
Although Celestial Jade is a casual puzzle tile game,
On the Xianzhou, before obtaining an adulthood recognition certificate, one is still not quite allowed to touch it.
After all, there are quite a few people who like to use this to gamble for money.
A small bet lifts the mood. Even for formal board games, there are specially designated betting areas.
Although they only allow betting the price of a cup of Immortal's Delight Tea, if one bets too much, the Cloud Knights will also come knocking.
But ultimately, the influence is not good.
So, on the surface, generally only adults are permitted to enter.
But in reality, it doesn't absolutely restrict minors from entering.
It's just that minors will usually be stopped by parents, so there is no need to worry or guard against anything too much.
"Your family's heart is too big, right!"
Qingque couldn't help but roast.
She really didn't expect to meet a case today where the parents didn't care, letting a child unfamiliar with the place run wild into this kind of location.
Just what kind of parents are these!
In her heart, Qingque condemned these parents for being unqualified.
Today was purely Cerydra exploiting a loophole.
Sigh, really, if Qingque hadn't happened to be here,
Then Cerydra would have been questioned somewhat.
Rounding up, it was she herself who harmed a young girl into going astray!
Qingque forced herself to calm down. The thing to do now was not to think wildly.
But to help the lost young girl find her family!
Out of a sense of justice, and appreciation for a card friend of the same height and superb level.
Qingque spoke up:
"Um, let me ask, where is your family right now?"
"Did you agree to wait here for him to pick you up? Or did you get lost from him?"
"How about I accompany you to the Realm-Keeping Commission to take a look?"
Qingque actively proposed to give her help.
"Thank you, but there is no need."
Cerydra looked at Qingque strangely. She didn't understand what was suddenly wrong with Qingque.
Why did she suddenly put on a 'Little sister, are you lost' look towards her?
Changing faces without cooldown?
"He should be coming to pick me up after he finishes his business..."
Before she finished speaking, Cerydra paused.
She felt an indescribable connection, so she looked up.
Leon was very tall.
So even if there was a crowded stream of people directly in front, Cerydra could still see that handsome face.
The two looked at each other from a distance.
A moment later, Cerydra withdrew her gaze.
"He is here. It looks like that's it for today."
She stood up, preparing to leave, and bid farewell to Qingque.
After speaking, Cerydra walked towards the exit. The crowd scattered to the left and right.
Actively making way for her.
Qingque didn't react for a moment, simply shifting her line of sight subconsciously in Cerydra's direction.
Forgot to turn off the aimbot.
"...General Leon?"
When the familiar figure appeared in Qingque's line of sight, she finally came back to her senses.
There were many people on the Luofu who knew Leon, yet also not many.
Most were concentrated among those who joined in the fun to welcome him the last time he came to the Luofu.
Those who didn't join in the fun, or were not on the Luofu during that time for some reasons, could only get his name or intelligence like 'handsome beyond belief' from friends and family.
Qingque didn't join in the fun last time.
She had only heard rumors and didn't know what this rumored Heavenly General Chang looked like.
Until previously, when she was handling matters for Fu Xuan, she accidentally caught a glimpse of the Master Diviner's Jade Abacus lock screen.
The entire Divination Commission, from top to bottom, knew,
That the Master Diviner had a very close relationship with the Eighth Heavenly General.
Then, under this premise.
The man who could be used by the Master Diviner as a Jade Abacus lock screen, who else could it be but the Eighth Heavenly General?
Now seeing the real person, Qingque could only say: It is him!
Watching Cerydra stop beside Leon, Qingque, who had just come back to her senses, was a bit dazed again for a moment.
Cerydra just said her family had come.
And now she actively walked towards Leon.
Could it be?!
"When did you have a child?"
Qingque blurted out subconsciously.
"Does the Master Diviner, her old self, know about this?"
After saying this sentence, Qingque noticed that a pink-haired little girl was also standing beside Leon.
What is this? Twins?
Or could it be... this is Heavenly General Leon's wife?
No, Qingque heard before that a pink-haired beautiful girl always followed Leon.
That one should be Heavenly General Leon's wife!
Sure enough, it's still twins, right!
The beginning is forgotten, the middle is forgotten, in short, Master Diviner, you lost so miserably!
"Master Diviner?"
Hearing Qingque's words, Cerydra raised her eyebrows.
This should be his romantic debt outside, right?
Although she knew long ago that Leon's romantic debts were numerous, if this continued, how could her family's Sword Flag win? Cerydra felt this was a good opportunity, a good opportunity to reduce competitors for her retainer.
"Oh, you're really something."
Leon couldn't be bothered to retort.
"It hasn't even been ten months since my debut, and a child is already here."
Hyacine covered her mouth and chuckled lightly on the side, seeming to be amused by this mix-up.
"Putting it that way, it seems true..."
Qingque scratched her head. After he put it that way, she indeed felt it was a bit nonsensical, ha.
Seeing that this mix-up was about to disperse.
Cerydra added a handful of reigniting firewood to this ball of fire that was about to go out.
"Father."
Cerydra tugged at Leon's sleeve with the posture of a little girl.
"Have you forgotten Mother?"
She pinched her throat, speaking in a feigned innocent manner.
"What do you mean?"
Leon lowered his head and looked at her with complete incomprehension.
A clear expression of 'Stop pretending to be young, okay'.
No, sister, with your three thousand lifetimes, you could be my ancestor.
And here I am being your father? Isn't this a joke?
Why does the old woman act so affectedly?
"Ah, look, Mother is back."
Cerydra ignored his reaction, forcing herself to keep a straight face. Just then, her peripheral vision happened to sweep over Hysilens who had returned, and she immediately pointed at her and said.
"?"
Hysilens, who had just returned, was stunned upon hearing this address.
She stopped in her tracks, looking left and right.
Finally finding that there was no second person around besides her,
She raised a finger and pointed at herself with an expression of 'Me?'.
"Just in time, Mother is back too. Let's go."
Cerydra spoke like this, taking Leon's hand and forcefully pulling him forward to leave.
Hyacine looked at Cerydra with a surprised, even bizarre gaze.
She completely didn't expect that this Tyrant of Amphoreus would actually have such a side.
"Sister, quickly keep up."
Hyacine knew this was calling her, and couldn't help but laugh.
Sorry, logically speaking, a professional physician with her upbringing shouldn't laugh.
But she really couldn't hold it back.
She glanced at the culprit who caused all this, and followed the footsteps of the two with some emotion.
"Caesar... what is this?"
Hysilens was totally confused; what play was being staged here?
She originally wanted to accompany Cerydra to stay in the chess parlor for a while, but Caesar said she wasn't interested in that anyway, so there was absolutely no need to accommodate her.
It would be better to go out for a stroll and find something she was truly interested in.
It was time for her to live out a life trajectory that truly belonged to herself.
So Hysilens went for a stroll according to Caesar's order.
In the end, she discovered that she didn't seem to have anything she was interested in.
Or rather, she only liked staying by the Monarch's side.
If Leon was there, she would wait by his side; if he wasn't, she would wait by Cerydra's side.
This would give the lost fish a sense of security of having found her belonging.
"Let's go, we're going to the next stop."
Cerydra made Hysilens forcibly link arms with him, urging the two to leave.
From her bright red earroots, one could see that she was also finding it hard to keep acting.
Sigh, she really broke her heart worrying for her retainer.
Qingque looked at the retreating figures of the four, lost in thought.
This Leon was really a stunner; there were actually so many people who wanted to divide his six roots.
She didn't know if the Master Diviner could still scoop a mouthful of soup to drink.
Qingque upheld her own philosophy of life.
Do not over-complete tasks, do not actively take on work, do not struggle alone.
She decided to pretend she saw nothing today.
...
Luofu.
After leaving Qingque's line of sight, Cerydra immediately cut ties with the self from just a moment ago.
Leon couldn't be bothered to care, or rather, there was no need.
Anyway, it was impossible for Jing Yuan to allow any information regarding him to appear on the social network.
Alice was online to be the daddy!
The disturbance just now would at most be idle gossip after a meal.
The kind that no one would necessarily believe; it didn't matter.
And Hysilens also had a good sense of propriety.
She didn't dare to overstep with her master too much, so she also stopped at the right point.
After all, the few of them still had to find people next.
If she really kept holding his arm, it wouldn't be good to face Cyrene, the nominal main wife, later.
So, after enjoying the thrill of a winner for a little bit,
Hysilens actively opened up the distance.
Finally, the four found their fifth partner.
Aglaea.
She was currently conversing with a Foxian woman.
"Miss Aglaea's skill in clothes making is something Tingyun has never seen before."
The Foxian woman waved her fan, narrowing her eyes and smiling.
"If possible, please, you must reach a cooperation with our Whistling Flames merchant guild."
Tingyun looked at Aglaea as if looking at a piece of shining gold.
She was quite sensitive to business opportunities.
Although she didn't know where the person before her popped out from, and she had never seen this face on the Luofu before, it didn't hinder her from discussing cooperation.
"Whistling Flames will definitely give you a satisfactory price."
To what extent was Aglaea's clothes-making skill high?
After seeing the finished product,
Tingyun was willing to call it 'an artwork of integrated offense and defense'.
This integrated offense and defense naturally didn't mean actual offense and defense.
But referred to the garments Aglaea wove, possessing both practicality and collection value.
It was simply no different from a work of art.
No matter which galaxy it was released in for sale, it would definitely be an unprecedented level of popularity.
"Thank you for your deep love, Miss Tingyun."
Aglaea just smiled, thanking her for the invitation first.
Tingyun had traversed the path of commerce for many years.
She was quite clear that once Aglaea said this sentence, it was equivalent to the cooperation being hopeless.
