Chapter 424 "Promise", Taibusi Card Hall.

Qingque nodded, and as if remembering something, he said, "Master Taibu, do you think the people from Liuguang Yiting will stop us on the way? If they want that item so badly, they will definitely not give up easily."

Fu Xuan pondered for a moment, "It's possible, so we have to speed up our pace, but if we really encounter them, don't be impulsive, just follow my instructions."

"Master Taibu, if we really encounter someone from Liuguang Yiting and we can't defeat them, what should we do? I heard that they are good at some strange magic, and they might steal all our memories."

"You..." Fu Xuan was speechless. She frowned slightly, looked at Qingque's frightened appearance, and sighed helplessly, "The people of Liuguang Yiting are not as scary as you think. Can you stop reading strange remarks all the time?" Fu Xuan said as he grabbed Qingque's ear and shook it gently.

Qingque's ears were pulled, but she dared not move. She could only say pitifully, "Master Taibu, I know I was wrong. Please be gentler. I just can't help but think about what I heard." Tears flashed in her eyes and she waved her hands in the air, trying to make Fu Xuan let go.

Fu Xuan let go of his hand, folded his hands in front of his chest, and said seriously, "You have to know that many rumors are exaggerated. Although Liuguang Yiting is mysterious, they also have their own rules and codes of conduct."

Qingque rubbed his ears that were pulled red, and muttered softly, "But what if... they really know those strange magics..."

"Nothing could happen." Fu Xuan interrupted him.

Fu Xuan looked at her, his tone softened a little, "If you are always frightened by some unfounded remarks, how can you do anything?"

"Qingque, I want to pass the position of Taibu Si to you when I become a general." Fu Xuan looked at Qingque seriously and said.

Qingque was stunned for a moment, standing there in a daze. After a long while, he stammered, "Master Taibu, I... I am not worthy of this, I always cause trouble to you, and I am not as capable as you, I am afraid I can't do it well."

Fu Xuan shook his head gently. "I believe in my vision. Although you are not mature enough now, you have unlimited possibilities. You should know that the position of Taibu is not only power, but also responsibility. Taibusi is the key department responsible for intelligence and information deduction in Xianzhou. It uses jade computing technology to undertake important missions such as divination of the future. Every member of Taibusi is contributing to the prosperity and development of Xianzhou."

Qingque bit her lip and a blush appeared on her face. "Master Taibu, I know this is a heavy responsibility, but what should I do? I slack off every day... I don't work seriously... I..." Her voice became smaller and smaller, and in the end it was almost as loud as a mosquito.

Fu Xuan sighed slightly and said patiently, "Look, the librarians are diligently managing the library, the secretaries are running around collecting information and accurately classifying it, and there are also the strategists who use their wisdom to make plans for the immortal boat, and there is also me, the Six Imperial Guardians and Luofu Grand Diviner. As a diviner, you have a unique advantage. You must study hard under my guidance and improve your ability to deduce."

"I know this is difficult for you. You like to slack off and can't concentrate on your studies. But you have to know that although you like to slack off, you are a genius. When you were in school, you could always get a score of 60 points in every exam. You can also quote ancient texts and classics at will. This shows that you have strong abilities and talents, but you have not yet fully developed them."

"But even if you were slacking off, you were still studying hard, right? Your unique understanding of astrology and your flexible thinking are your shining points."

"Qingque, I don't expect you to do anything great. You just need to be honest and learn the basics well. When I pass the position to you, you won't be at a loss."

"There are obviously people who are better than me, and you can transfer other personnel from other immortal boats. Why do you have to choose me?" Qingque asked puzzledly.

"Because you are a member of our Taibu Division, you grew up here and have deep feelings for this place. Moreover, your potential is unique. Others may be experienced and capable, but they do not have your experience in Taibu Division, nor your unique emotional connection with this place. The unique skills you have shown in your studies may play an unexpected role in the study of astrology, magic and hexagrams. I believe that in time, you will definitely become an outstanding Taibu. Moreover, I have watched you grow all the way, and I am willing to give you this opportunity to let you prove yourself."

Qingque lowered his head and thought about Fu Xuan's words. After a while, he whispered, "Master Taibu, I'm afraid I will disappoint you."

"As long as you work hard, you won't let me down. From now on, stop thinking about those trivial things and focus on improving yourself. I will always be by your side to guide you and help you."

"Don't you like playing cards?" Fu Xuan raised the corner of his mouth slightly, and continued with a smile, "After you become the Grand Diviner, I won't say anything if you turn the Grand Diviner's Office into a card parlor."

"Really?" Qingque suddenly became alert, his eyes lit up instantly, and his original nervousness and worry seemed to be thrown away in an instant.

She leaned forward excitedly and rubbed her hands unconsciously, "Master Taibu, you can't go back on your word! Then I have to work hard, hehe." Qingque's face was filled with an expectant smile, as if she had already seen the lively scene of the Taibusi turning into a card hall.

Fu Xuan tapped Qingque's head gently and said, "You are just thinking about playing cards. I am encouraging you. If you don't work hard, don't think about anything else. First, improve your calculation ability and learn astrology knowledge thoroughly. Otherwise, there is no point in talking about anything."

"Master Taibu, I know! I will work hard. Maybe I can invent a way to play cards using astrology. That will definitely be very interesting."

Fu Xuan shook his head helplessly, "You just think of these weird things."

"Master Taibu, I promise to complete the task. If I become Taibu, I will make the Taibu Office better and better. Of course, the card hall will also be run successfully."

Hearing this, Fu Xuan raised his hand and was about to hit Qingque.

But Qingque dodged it directly.

...

Qingque and Fu Xuan walked towards the Nether Prison. As soon as they stepped into the Scale Abyss, a damp and cold breath hit them in the face.

There was a light mist all around and the road under my feet was wet, as if every step I took would lead me into an unknown quagmire.

Qingque couldn't help but shudder, and followed Fu Xuan closely, "Master Taibu, this Scaled Abyss Realm feels eerie, is there any danger?"

"It's better to be careful. Many strange things have always happened in the Scale Abyss. Let's speed up and pass through here as soon as possible."

They walked along the winding path. The stones on the roadside were covered with slippery moss. Ripples appeared in the puddles next to them from time to time, as if something was peeping at them underwater.

Suddenly, a melodious yet strange singing voice came from a distance. The sound seemed to come from all directions at the same time, echoing in the mist. Qingque turned pale with fear and grabbed Fu Xuan's sleeve, "Master Taibu, what is that sound?"

"This song is weird. It might be some phantom sound from the Scale Abyss that hasn't dissipated yet. Don't be affected by it."

Qingque nodded and continued to move forward. The fog was getting thicker and thicker, and she could hardly see the road ahead. Qingque could only follow Fu Xuan carefully relying on his back. Suddenly, Fu Xuan stopped and Qingque almost bumped into her.

"Master Taibu, what's wrong?" Qingque asked nervously.

"We're here, the Prison of Hell." Fu Xuan said, looking at the bronze gate in front of him.

Suddenly, the bronze door opened, and an unusual breath came out from inside, which was bone-chillingly cold.

The next moment, Fu Xuan summoned his magic weapon and stared at the door closely.

Qingque also felt the dangerous aura. She took out mahjong from her arms and held it tightly in her hands.
