The reason Diviner Fu was pleased with Selene's praise was because Diviner Fu was intentionally giving Selene tiles!
Since Diviner Fu joined the game, in almost every round, Qing Que would win first, leaving Selene and Diviner Fu to play against each other.
And our Grand Diviner could always hear Selene thinking about what tiles she needed!
So, the Grand Diviner would break up her own hand and play tiles for Selene, allowing Selene to win.
Diviner Fu herself didn't know why she did this, but every time she saw Selene's happy expression after winning, she herself inexplicably felt happy!
...At this moment, the two people and one cat were preparing to play the next round.
But the jade amulet in Diviner Fu's bag rang at this time.
Diviner Fu paused, took out the jade amulet, and glanced at it.
She then realized that it was already six in the evening, and the message was from a Diviner in the Divination Commission; the other party needed to find Diviner Fu, but she wasn't there.
After reading the message, Diviner Fu suddenly stood up, preparing to leave the Archives, muttering something under her breath.
Because her voice was very low, neither Qing Que nor Selene heard clearly, only knowing that the Grand Diviner was muttering.
"This Grand Diviner actually played qiongyu cards for two hours here?! How could this Grand Diviner do such an absurd thing?!"
"Darn it! It's all that Qing Que's fault! If she hadn't brought the qiongyu cards into the Divination Commission, and even played during working hours! If you play, then play! But she just had to drag this Grand Diviner's cat to play along! If she hadn't dragged this Grand Diviner's cat to play along! This Grand Diviner wouldn't have played along just to make Stupid Cat happy!"
"So! It's all that Qing Que's fault! Blame Qing Que!"
Diviner Fu murmured, leaving the Archives, and went to who knows where, leaving Selene and Qing Que in a daze.
Poor Qing Que, she had no idea that she had unknowingly taken the blame for something big again!
..."Um? Your name is Selene, right!"
Qing Que asked.
Selene nodded, confirming.
"You're quite clever; you're the smartest cat I've seen on the Xianzhou, but do you still want to play cards now?"
Qing Que asked.
"Meow! (What can I do if I don't play? My Diviner Fu isn't here, and I can't go home!)"
Selene meowed and nodded.
"Phew! How about this? I'll play with you again when I'm at work tomorrow! What do you think?"
Qing Que whispered to Selene, discussing.
Hearing this, Selene's gaze towards Qing Que became strange; this wasn't like Qing Que! Not playing even when there were cards!
Qing Que naturally noticed the change in Selene's eyes and couldn't help but sigh inwardly, the Grand Diviner's cat is truly special!
"Do you think I'm strange? Why am I not playing anymore?"
"Oh, come on! I'm telling you! It's after work hours, you know?! It's very important!"
Qing Que said to herself.
Selene: Ah, this.
"The Divination Commission closes at five every day, but do you know it's already six?! Six o'clock!!! I've already worked an hour of overtime!"
"I feel like ants are crawling all over me right now! So I have to get off work quickly!"
After Qing Que finished speaking, she picked up her small backpack, put the qiongyu cards into the bag, and then instantly rushed out of the Archives!
That speed was truly exceptional! It left Selene stunned!
...After Qing Que left, only Selene the cat remained in the Archives.
At this time of day, the Divination Commission was very quiet; after all, most of the Diviners had already gone home after work, leaving only a very small number of Diviners still working in the Divination Commission.
"Oh, working at the Divination Commission, from nine to five every day, what great benefits! Why does Qing Que still want to slack off every day?"
On the other side, Diviner Fu, who was busy with her work, heard Selene's thoughts and unconsciously nodded.
"Exactly! That Qing Que is truly too much!"
Diviner Fu muttered to herself.
The Diviner next to her heard this and couldn't help but feel a pang of worry for the Diviner named Qing Que!
"Qing Que, Qing Que! How have you offended the Grand Diviner again? To make her remember you even while she's working!"
The Diviner next to her thought this to herself.
"Selene: Speaking of which, isn't Qing Que afraid of always slacking off and then getting fired by the Grand Diviner? If that happens, such a good job would be gone!"
Hearing this thought, Diviner Fu couldn't help but sigh helplessly inwardly.
"Alas! With this Grand Diviner here, Qing Que naturally won't be fired. Although she usually only thinks about slacking off, she can complete her duties very well."
"If she were willing to work hard, with her intelligence, she certainly wouldn't be in her current position! But it's fine, this Grand Diviner will slowly promote her..."
...At this moment, Qing Que, walking home, sneezed several times and felt a chill down her spine.
"Am I catching a cold? But why do I always feel like someone wants to [harm me]?"
Qing Que murmured, went to a nearby drink shop, and bought a cup of "Happy Tea" to drink...Diviner Fu was busy until eight in the evening before she had free time.
This was unavoidable; as the head of the Divination Commission, she still had many things to deal with every day.
"Hmm? Speaking of which, it's been almost two hours since this Grand Diviner heard Stupid Cat's thoughts, hasn't it? Could she have left the Divination Commission?"
Diviner Fu thought this to herself and walked towards the Archives.
However, if Selene had really left the Divination Commission, Diviner Fu would indeed have a hard time finding her, as she couldn't deduce Selene's fate.
Fortunately, when Diviner Fu arrived at the Archives, she saw Selene curled up in a corner, sleeping.
Diviner Fu's lips unconsciously curved upwards a few degrees, then she slowly walked over, picked Selene up in her arms, and prepared to take her home.
And Selene, tired from the day, didn't even wake up when Diviner Fu picked her up, allowing Diviner Fu to hold her in her arms.
Seeing this, Diviner Fu couldn't help but shake her head and softly sighed, "Sleeping so soundly, if someone else were to carry her away, she probably wouldn't even know..."
...Diviner Fu walked slowly down the street, and Selene in her arms gradually woke up; after all, there were many people around, and it was quite noisy. Although she slept very soundly, she wasn't actually dead!
"You're awake? What do you want to eat? Since this Grand Diviner promised you, this Grand Diviner naturally won't break her word."
Diviner Fu's tone was very doting, which made the passersby around them widen their eyes!
Diviner Fu, who always seemed unapproachable and whose words were hard to understand, could actually speak "human words" in such a gentle tone?
..."I'm so envious of that cat in the Grand Diviner's arms! I also really want to be held by the Grand Diviner!"
A passerby muttered to himself.
"Hey! Brother! I have a way, do you want to hear it?"
His friend asked with a smile, but somehow that smile had a somewhat mischievous feeling...
