Nero captured Dan Shu and even paraded her through the streets of the Exalting Sanctum. This was a major event.
But it also sped up the Seat of Divine Foresight's operation to close the net on the Medicine King's Secret Teachings.
Originally, it would have taken some more time before the operation was completed.
But now, when Dan Shu was captured and publicly paraded in such a miserable state, some followers who knew the inside story began to panic and started preparing to flee.
Such changes naturally couldn't escape the well-trained Cloud Knights. They immediately took action and began arresting members of the Medicine King's Secret Teachings.
Panic spread among the Medicine King's Secret followers like a plague. While it proved that what Nero said was true, it also caused the operation to finish ahead of schedule.
At first, the Seat of Divine Foresight had only taken Nero's words with a "might as well believe it" attitude and locked Dan Shu in the Shackling Prison. But the reports sent back by the Cloud Knights completely confirmed Dan Shu's identity.
The Medicine King's Secret followers felt extremely stifled.
They had imagined fighting the Xianzhou in secret, and also imagined a life-and-death battle out in the open against these devotees of the Hunt. But they never imagined it would end like this.
For no clear reason, their leader was captured by the Seat of Divine Foresight.
And for no clear reason, Cloud Knights had been hiding right beside them all along, leaving them no time to escape.
A structure they had built over so long collapsed in a single day. Years of careful planning all came to nothing at the critical moment.
No matter how hard they thought, the prisoners of the Medicine King's Secret couldn't figure out what had happened.
In this clash between the followers of the Medicine King and the followers of the Hunt, how exactly had they lost?
They lost without understanding anything, and it left them feeling completely suffocated, furious to the core.
Of course, all of that was for later.
At this moment, Nero, the main culprit behind the collapse of the Medicine King's Secret, handed Dan Shu over to the Seat of Divine Foresight and left the problem to them.
Then he took the Astral Express crew and left.
The timing was just right. They had just received a message from Qingque. It seemed that Fu Xuan had finally found some free time.
Qingque told everyone to gather in the Exalting Sanctum.
By the time they arrived, Bailu, Huohuo, and Yanqing were already there ahead of them.
The squad handling the doppelganger incident gathered once again.
It was worth mentioning that, as always, when they found Qingque, she was playing tiles.
When it comes to sneaking in a bit of leisure during busy times, Boss Qingque was definitely among the best on the Luofu.
As soon as Nero arrived, he saw Qingque push her small hand forward and say, "Win."
Then one of her tile companions immediately complained, "Qingque, why did you bring Nero again?"
"Didn't we agree you're not allowed to bring him when we play? You win right after the tiles are dealt, what's the point of us even playing!"
But Qingque just laughed it off. "It's different, it's different. If it's just playing tiles, I'll try to bring Nero as little as possible so you all can enjoy the fun too.
"But this time is different. This time it's a mission. Waiting around is boring anyway, so I just played a round."
"It doesn't delay work and lets me relax at the same time. That's what you call slacking smartly!"
Then Qingque took a step back and said, "Alright everyone, our people are all here, so we won't keep you company anymore!"
With that, she left her three dumbfounded tile companions behind and moved over to Nero, saying, "Let's go, everyone."
"Lady Diviner can help us run the calculations now. But with the Stellaron disaster spreading, the Divination Commission has also been affected. The road won't be easy, so we'll have to take a detour."
Everyone expressed their understanding and followed Qingque.
Along the way, Mr. Yang expressed his interest in the game.
And Qingque immediately said she would teach him how to play.
When it comes to introducing your hobby to someone who shows interest, people are pretty much all the same.
