The moment she heard Levi's voice over the Cloud Knights' communication, Fu Xuan thought of a lot of things.
For example, that he'd caught Jing Yuan's eye again and was about to be recruited into the Cloud Knights, and that contacting her through the Cloud Knights was a hint that he was going to work there.
Or that some kind of criminal activity had happened around him and he needed to explain the situation, and that contacting her through the Cloud Knights was so it would be easier to make things clear.
But all of those thoughts completely vanished the moment she heard Qingque and the Cloud Knights' voices.
"Confess and you'll be treated leniently! Resist and you'll be punished severely! Tell us honestly, what did you two do in Aurum Alley?!"
Faced with the Cloud Knight's stern gaze, Qingque said cautiously, "Does getting hit with a Thomas full spin count?"
Bang!
The Cloud Knight slammed the table hard, and Qingque jumped at the sudden noise.
The Cloud Knight stared at Qingque with a stiff face. "I'll say it one more time, confess and you'll be treated leniently, resist and you'll be punished severely! The disgusting things you did were all seen by our patrol members!"
"And you still want to argue?"
"As a Xianzhou native, do you know there's a saying on the Xianzhou?"
Qingque froze. "What saying?"
The interrogating Cloud Knight said righteously, "All evil shall be brought to justice!"
"..."
Hearing the silence on the other end, Levi wailed, "Help! Lady Fu Xuan! Sister Fu! Ancestor Fu!"
"Stop trying to butter me up!" Fu Xuan said coldly. Thinking about the conclusion she'd reached, she felt her teeth ache.
How long had it even been since she last saw them, and these two idiots had already gotten themselves thrown into the slammer?
She took a deep breath and said, "Hand the communicator to the Cloud Knight in charge."
Knowing full well that the two of them couldn't possibly have done anything truly illegal, and that there was probably some misunderstanding, Fu Xuan decided to help them out.
Tch, this is the first time I've ever pulled someone out of the Cloud Knights' hands. How embarrassing.
"Thank you, Sister Fu! Thank you, Sister Fu!"
Putting down the communicator, Levi instantly dropped his weak, pitiful act from earlier. He arrogantly handed the communicator to the Cloud Knight beside him.
"Our Grand Diviner wants you!"
"I told you a long time ago, I'm someone under Lady Grand Diviner, but you just wouldn't believe me. Now you believe me, right?"
"Levi, I can choose to have the Cloud Knights lock you up for a few days."
"No! Sister Fu! My dear Sister Fu!"
Just from the change in Levi's tone, Fu Xuan could already imagine his instant face-changing performance.
She helplessly covered her face, feeling an urge to deny that he was part of the Divination Commission.
Taking another deep breath, Fu Xuan spoke calmly to the Cloud Knight. "I am Fu Xuan of the Divination Commission…"
"..."
"Qingque's leaving!"
The door to the interrogation room was pushed open, and at the superior officer's signal, the people inside unlocked the shackles on Qingque.
Watching the two of them leave with arrogant strides, a Cloud Knight in the interrogation room couldn't help asking, "We're just letting them go like that?"
The procedures weren't even finished yet.
The Cloud Knight who had brought Levi in lit an Imperial Bow–brand cigarette and said, "She's the Grand Diviner from the Divination Commission…"
The questioning Cloud Knight fell silent.
Soon after, another suspect was escorted in for questioning.
Sitting in the interrogation chair, the young girl laughed awkwardly. "Um, we were just performing a talent show. We didn't disturb public order."
"We shouldn't need to pay a fine, right?"
"..."
Returning to Exalting Sanctum, the two of them tacitly avoided mentioning what had just happened in Aurum Alley.
Sitting on a bench by the roadside, neither of them spoke.
Thinking that Levi was angry about her deadly chicken hit, Qingque took the initiative to ease the atmosphere. "What exactly did you do to boost your agency's reputation that made Lady Fu Xuan so angry?"
While scrolling through the group chat, Levi told her what he'd done.
After hearing it, Qingque was a little impressed by Levi's courage.
You had to know, "The Divination Commission's website doesn't belong exclusively to our Luofu Divination Commission…"
———
[Luofu Divination Commission]
"Colleagues, I've already investigated this matter. It was done by a junior under my command."
"I've already ordered him to restore it. I believe things will return to normal soon."
After pulling Levi and Qingque out, Fu Xuan immediately held an online meeting to explain the situation.
"Hehe, Luofu really lives up to its name, truly full of talent," someone sighed.
To break through the Divination Commission's network defenses and leave no trace at all, there were probably only a handful of people in the entire universe who could do that.
In the past, Luofu gave birth to the High-Cloud Quintet, suppressing the other Xianzhou ships.
Later, some accidents happened, badly damaging Luofu's vitality, and it had been recovering in recent years.
It was originally thought that it would take a very long time for Luofu to return to its peak.
But now it seemed that Luofu clearly showed signs of reviving the "High-Cloud Quintet".
"It's just a junior. He hasn't reached that level," Fu Xuan said calmly, looking as if she didn't care at all.
But the slight curve at the corner of her lips betrayed her mood.
She had naturally seen through Levi's strength beneath his utterly shameless exterior. That was why she used this incident to bring him under the Divination Commission's banner.
This also counted as getting a head start in planning, paving the way for her eventual ascent to the position of Luofu's general.
Levi, "Levi has drifted through half his life, regretting only that he never met a worthy lord. If you do not abandon me, I am willing to swear myself as your adopted son!"
———
"You'd better hurry up and restore the Divination Commission's website! If you anger the other Xianzhou ships, they might band together to make things difficult for our Luofu."
"They wouldn't dare!"
Levi snorted coldly, as if he himself were Luofu's general. "Not to mention that our Luofu has fought battle after battle, winning every single time!"
"You're talking about the Yaoqing Xianzhou," Qingque pointed out from the side.
Ignoring Qingque, Levi continued talking to himself. "If they're unwilling to sit down and talk properly, and instead unite to make things difficult for our Luofu…"
"Hmph! I know a little about martial arts myself!"
'One against five, the advantage is mine!'
After finishing his confident performance, Levi still followed his heart and pulled out his jade device, preparing to restore the Divination Commission.
Then he saw the message Silver Wolf had sent him.
[Silver Wolf: Your website got hacked. I fixed it for you. No need to thank me.]
"I'll thank your %#￥%#!"
Seeing Silver Wolf's message, Levi instantly exploded.
'She screwed me over… well, maybe not exactly screwed me over…'
'Anyway, you're not getting any good juice out of this! I'm telling you!'
[Levi: When you come to Luofu, just wait for me! I'll thank you properly!]
After that, he closed the chat with Silver Wolf.
"Let's see if there are any useful commissions…"
Looking at the 99+ messages diluted the pain Silver Wolf had inflicted on his heart.
Levi eagerly opened his inbox.
He discovered that most of the messages were praising his bravery, and only a small number were actually people wanting to commission him.
And those commissions were all bizarre beyond belief.
For example, wanting the Luofu Divination Commission's Grand Diviner's white stockings.
After seeing that, Levi immediately took a screenshot and forwarded it to Fu Xuan.
Using the Matrix of Prescience to divine, she could 100% find out who this person was.
He waited quietly for justice to be served.
Levi clasped his hands together and started chanting the Great Compassion Mantra in advance.
Then he continued scrolling through the inbox.
[Want the Yaoqing Xianzhou general's boots… bro, your XP is kind of weird. Be careful not to get athlete's foot in your mouth.]
[Want the eggshell from a Vidyadhara's rebirth, to taste what it's like… recommend finding a Vidyadhara you're close with and bringing the egg home after they reincarnate. That way you can even eat it while it's still warm.]
[Want Qingque… Qingque is looking for you.]
Levi pointed his jade device at Qingque's face. Seeing the message on it, Qingque immediately revealed a ferocious expression.
"You dare set your sights on me? You're courting death!"
Watching Qingque crack her knuckles and leave, Levi kindly replied, [The goods you want will be delivered to your door in a bit. Please check and accept them, dear~]
Then he continued scrolling.
"Want Divination Commission Fu Xuan… another one seeking death. Do you even know where you clicked in from?"
Another screenshot forwarded. Levi kept reading.
"Want Jing Yuan's… stinky shoes?"
The Yaoqing Xianzhou one was still understandable, since Yaoqing's general is a woman.
But Luofu… Jing Yuan… clicking on the profile picture, the one who said this was actually a man.
Levi commented, [Fit but not cured.]
After looking through everything, the vast majority of netizens' XPs successfully made Levi feel that he was still a normal person.
At the same time, he couldn't help complaining, "Isn't there anything serious? Or any commissions involving key figures?"
'If not, what's the point of me opening this agency!'
Ding-dong!
Just as Levi was about to restore the website, a message popped up on his jade device.
[Hello, is this the Divination Commission?]
Looking at the message in front of him, for some reason, a small segment of Levi's DNA moved.
Excited, he typed rapidly with both hands, [No.]
"..."
