In the end, Fu Xuan settled Qingque's bill with Levi.
"Come again next time~" Levi waved.
Fu Xuan left with a dark expression.
Qingque let out a breath of relief. She had thought that when Fu Xuan learned she had racked up so many credit points from gambling, she would take iron-fisted action against her.
But unexpectedly, after paying the credit points, she simply left.
It was just that her expression was a little dark.
Seeing the long string of numbers now displayed on his own account, Levi was very, very satisfied.
"From now on, I'm also someone who treats money like dirt!"
He turned his head toward Jing Yuan, who still didn't seem to intend on leaving. Facing Jing Yuan's smiling eyes, the corner of Levi's eyelid twitched slightly.
He pulled Qingque in front of himself and said to Jing Yuan in a low voice, "General Jing, is there something important that brings you to my humble place?"
"Brother Levi, do you know someone named Elysia?"
Jing Yuan took out the photo of Levi piloting the Elysia-model ship and wreaking havoc in the Luofu.
Levi was a bit surprised.
He wasn't surprised by the photo in Jing Yuan's hand, he was surprised by how Jing Yuan knew Elysia's name.
In this world, the only ones who knew Elysia's name were himself and… Stelle.
With that thought, Levi immediately contacted Stelle in the group chat.
He wanted to ask whether the information had leaked from her side.
A moment later, Stelle replied.
[Stelle: They asked me where you went, so I said you probably went to the Luofu to deliver food. Did something happen?]
Stelle frowned. Could something she said have caused trouble for Levi?
After reading Stelle's message, Levi understood.
Most likely, Dan Heng still couldn't feel at ease about the Luofu and was worried Levi would cause damage there, so he probably asked Old Yang or Himeko to notify the Luofu.
[Levi: It's fine. I was just surprised to suddenly hear the name "Elysia" come from the Luofu's general's mouth.]
[Elysia: So I've become a Luofu celebrity?]
Not just a Luofu celebrity, at this rate, it probably won't take long before the entire universe knows the name Elysia.
After figuring out who leaked Elysia's name, looking at the photo in Jing Yuan's hand, Levi pretended to think it over and said, "I know Emilia. Elysia… this name, this is the first time I've heard it."
After speaking, he shook his head. "Just hearing that name, she doesn't sound like a good person. While I was gone, was the Luofu attacked by her?"
Levi proactively brought up the fact that he hadn't been in the Luofu, to steer the topic away from Elysia.
Jing Yuan stayed silent. Qingque turned and looked at Levi. "Oh right, I never asked you, what were you doing all this time?"
"Sigh, long story~"
Levi sighed. "I originally wanted to go find Bailu, but while searching, when I was passing by the Scalegorge Waterscape, I don't know which turtle-spawn sneak attacked me, hit the back of my head."
Levi even let Qingque touch it. Qingque reached out and indeed felt a swollen bump.
"Hiss, be gentle!"
"Sorry sorry sorry."
'It hurts this much? It looks like it was hit just recently…'
Levi brushed Qingque's hand away, carefully rubbing his head as he continued, "Then I collapsed onto a Starskiff. When I woke up, I found I had already arrived at Cloudford, almost out of the Luofu."
"I was so scared I hurried off the boat, no, off the Starskiff, and rushed home."
"Oh, right, was Bailu found?"
Levi looked at Jing Yuan with worried eyes.
"She was found, but only with someone else's help, this girl in the photo named Elysia," Jing Yuan said with a shake of his head.
"This incident also shows that when facing major sudden events like 'the dragon being kidnapped,' the Luofu still has shortcomings in its handling."
Qingque supplemented, "At the time, the Divination Array also seemed to have issues. Lady Fu Xuan divined for a long time and didn't get any useful results."
"Oh? Then how did you divine the correct location?"
"Hehehe, I used the old method, found it little by little myself."
The Divination Array is, at its core, the integration and deduction of information to determine the most likely situation.
As long as one can calculate, a person can theoretically achieve similar results.
But it heavily tests one's ability.
After all, human power is limited, how could it compare to the Divination Array?
And the accuracy also can't be compared.
Naturally, manual divination was replaced by the Divination Array.
This is the era of technological divination.
Levi took out his jade talisman and opened the divination webpage, preparing to divine his fortune for the coming days.
[Notice: Divination complete. Please recharge 10,000 credit points to view the results.]
"Looks like my luck isn't good."
Otherwise the site should have bugged out and shown the result directly.
After hearing Qingque's explanation, Jing Yuan nodded, silently marveling at Fu Xuan's good eye for choosing such a capable disciple.
'Very clever indeed!'
"Ah!" Qingque suddenly let out a cry.
Clatter!
Looking at the Celestial Jade plaques that fell off Qingque and scattered across the floor, Jing Yuan finally understood how Fu Xuan must have felt when she saw Qingque's true nature back then.
"You two talk. I still have follow-up matters to handle, so I'll take my leave first."
Jing Yuan walked away quickly.
Although Jing Yuan didn't believe Levi's so-called "encounter," he also didn't believe that someone who kept saying he didn't recognize Elysia actually knew him.
Unless their situation was: one person knows, one person doesn't.
But if so, why would that girl named Elysia go through so much trouble helping Levi rescue Bailu?
She couldn't possibly be in an extreme one-sided love, right?
At the same time, their two different answers made Jing Yuan doubt his own guess.
'Could it be…'
'Not a suit-wearing imposter?'

[Luofu Alchemy Commission]
Phantylia and Dan Shu were currently hiding here, evading the Cloud Knights' search.
"This girl wasn't feeling well today and took a day off, so I came to the Alchemy Commission to take a proper look around."
The disguised Tingyun, wearing Phantylia's smile, covered her face and said, "Who would've thought I'd hit it off so well with Physician Dan Shu? Before we knew it, we chatted straight into the evening."
Facing the Cloud Knights' questioning, the two cooperated smoothly and quickly dispelled their suspicion.
Once the room door closed, the smile on Phantylia's face vanished instantly. She frowned, carefully recalling the scene she witnessed earlier that day.
In that kind of environment, if she hadn't reacted fast enough and taken Dan Shu away in time, the ones who died wouldn't have been limited to those small-fry zealots.
Since when did such a person appear in the universe?
Phantylia had never heard of, nor seen, anything like what she saw during the day.
Could it be that the long-missing Pure Beauty had reappeared?
Remembering what she saw, Phantylia couldn't help thinking so.
Beside her, Dan Shu looked out the window at the Cloud Knights who continued questioning everyone, feeling extremely distressed.
As the leader of the Disciples of the Sanctum Medicus, his subordinates had failed twice in a row.
And not just failed, both times were total annihilations.
"What's wrong? Are you out of people?" Phantylia asked.
If they were out of people, her plan to create chaos and use the opportunity to revive the Ambrosial Arbor would be hard to carry out.
Dan Shu shook his head. "The Disciples of the Sanctum Medicus isn't lacking in people. What we lack are those who can manifest 'immortal form.'"
Every person who reveals immortal form is someone the Disciples of the Sanctum Medicus painstakingly nurtured.
They can remain rational in that state, and they have extremely high recovery ability.
In battle, they often have a higher chance of victory than the Cloud Knights.
But in the last two operations, they suffered the greatest losses.
Now, most of the Disciples of the Sanctum Medicus members are just ordinary people with no strength.
They probably can't even beat a normal Vidyadhara.
"This is simple. I can use my power to accelerate the creation of a batch of talents who can manifest 'immortal form,' but in exchange, you need to create more chaos in the Luofu."
"…"
