Chapter 9 - Chapter 9 The traitor beside Fu Xuan

After continuously asking for directions, Selene finally arrived at the Divination Commission at 11:30 AM.

However, after getting the address of the Divination Commission, Selene found a public restroom and transformed herself back into a cat.

There was no other way!

Her transformation time was simply too limited.

But fortunately, the system told her that as the number of completed tasks increased, the time rewarded each time would increase accordingly.

At least, she, Selene, would take this 'pie' first!

When Selene arrived at the Divination Commission, she was not driven away or anything; she entered the Divination Commission's interior very easily.

However, because the Divination Commission was quite large, Selene wandered around inside for a few circles but did not find Fu Xuan; instead, she stumbled into the Archives management office.

And as a Diviner and the Archives manager, Qingque was naturally the first person Selene met!

However, at this moment, Qingque was sitting on an office chair playing with her jade amulet, and judging from her expression, she seemed to be at a critical moment in her game!

Therefore, in Selene's opinion, Qingque had not noticed her, so she swaggered into the Archives management office and began to look around.

But in reality, when Selene approached, Qingque had already heard her subtle footsteps.

However, from the sound of the footsteps, Qingque could tell that the person coming was not Diviner Fu, so Qingque was not flustered and continued to play cards.

After all! As long as it wasn't Fu Xuan, no one could stop her, Qingque, from slacking off! Therefore, Selene was naturally ignored by Qingque.

Just a Little Kitten? Could it possibly go and report her to Fu Xuan?

After wandering around in the Archives for a while, Selene felt a bit bored, so she prepared to leave and continue looking for her Fu Xuan Wife.

However, before leaving, Selene subconsciously glanced at Qingque, who was playing cards, and an envious emotion involuntarily showed in her eyes!

"I really envy Qingque! I also want to be like her, slacking off at work every day without being discovered by my superior, let alone being fired!"

At the same time, Fu Xuan, who was handling some trivial matters, inexplicably heard such a thought.

"Hmm? I didn't expect that Little one Selene would arrive so quickly, just in time for mealtime!"

Fu Xuan murmured.

But very quickly, she noticed the key information in Selene's thoughts!

Qingque was slacking off during work hours!

Fu Xuan instantly stood up from her chair! Her expression became serious!

"Hmph! That Qingque! She's slacking off again! This time, I'll catch her red-handed!"

Fu Xuan thought this and prepared to head to the Archives management office.

And the Diviner sitting beside her, who was handling matters with her, looked at Fu Xuan in confusion, then asked, "Grand Diviner, where are you going now?"

"My cat came to find me, I'm going to pick it up!"

After Fu Xuan finished speaking, she walked towards the Archives management office.

And after the Junior Diviner saw Fu Xuan leave, he also picked up his jade amulet and sent a message to Qingque.

A Diviner who wishes not to be named: Qingque, Qingque! The Grand Diviner has left now, saying she's going to find her cat, you be careful!

Qingque, who was playing cards at this time, naturally saw this message immediately.

"Hmm? The Grand Diviner went to find her cat?! That has nothing to do with me!"

Qingque murmured, continuing to play her cards as usual.

And her murmur was naturally heard by Selene.

"I didn't expect the Grand Diviner to actually come to pick me up! Since that's the case, I'll just stay put!"

At this moment, Fu Xuan, who was on her way, heard this thought and couldn't help but frown slightly.

"It? How would it know? But wasn't that what I said to brush off that Diviner? I was actually here to catch Qingque!"

Fu Xuan murmured, her eyes narrowing slightly!

She had already figured out what was going on; this matter must have been learned by Selene from Qingque, and as for Qingque, she learned it from that Diviner!

"Hmph! Qingque! You're very good! You actually arranged an informant by my side!"

Fu Xuan said through gritted teeth.

At this moment, Qingque had no idea that the Diviner she had placed by Fu Xuan's side to remind her of Fu Xuan's whereabouts had already been betrayed by Selene!

And she would never have thought that this was merely because of an unintentional murmur of hers... Inside the Archives management office, Qingque had just won a hand of cards and was about to start the next one.

But before her finger could tap the screen, she heard "thump-thump-thump" footsteps from outside!

Judging from the sound, the other party was most likely wearing short-heeled shoes!

And in the Divination Commission, the number of people wearing such shoes was very small!

(Your Qing · Holmes · Que is online!)

"Then! There is only one truth! The Grand Diviner has arrived!"

Qingque, with extremely fast hand speed, put her jade amulet back into her pocket, then picked up the Archives record book next to her and began to read it in a believable manner!

Her appearance! No one could find fault with it!

Selene, who was beside her, was already dumbfounded! Was such hand speed and reaction time truly something a human possessed?!

One must know that she had only just heard Fu Xuan's footsteps, yet Qingque had already reacted! Terrifying!

Just shortly after Qingque picked up the record book, Fu Xuan had already arrived at the entrance of the Archives management office, silently watching Qingque, her gaze as if it could devour people!

Qingque naturally knew Fu Xuan had arrived, but she dared not look up now!

She was acting! Acting as a diligent employee! If she looked up now, wouldn't her act be exposed?!

Seeing Qingque unmoved, Fu Xuan stepped into the Archives management office.

Selene saw Fu Xuan coming and meowed excitedly, as if greeting Fu Xuan!

However, at this moment, Fu Xuan's thoughts were not on her at all; she merely glanced at Selene and quickly shifted her gaze away.

And Qingque also looked up at Fu Xuan at this time.

Because Selene had meowed just now, she had a legitimate reason to look at Fu Xuan!

"Oh? Grand Diviner? Are you looking for something in the Archives?"

Qingque asked, feigning a confused expression.

"Indeed, I came here specifically to retrieve something!"

Fu Xuan's tone betrayed no emotion.

"Oh? What are you retrieving?"

Qingque followed Fu Xuan's words.

"Hmph! I specifically came to retrieve your jade amulet!"

Fu Xuan snorted coldly, her tone becoming a few shades heavier.

Hearing this, Qingque couldn't help but panic!

Goodness! The Grand Diviner wants her jade amulet! That can't be good! Perhaps her secret was about to be exposed?!

But... if she didn't give it, wouldn't that make her seem even more guilty?

Qingque's current predicament was that giving it was not an option, and not giving it was also not an option!
