Fu Xuan spent a few days mingling in Changle Tian.
Besides finding people to help her gather the herbs on the prescription, she was also observing the primary origins of the people following Purple Rose and the others.
Fu Xuan discovered that these people didn't rely much on logistics for transferring items, and they were especially cautious when dealing with the Starskiffs.
The people of the Xianzhou Luofu all knew that the Starskiffs were monitored.
"[Dragon Coiling, Horned Dragon Leaping]? It really does look like a prescription from the Alchemy Commission. The ingredients inside are clearly closely related to the Vidyadhara. The Vidyadhara… they're getting restless too."
After just a few errands, Fu Xuan had roughly figured out the movements of these Disciples of Sanctus Medicus in Changle Tian.
According to her observations, the person in charge of Changle Tian had a direct line of contact with the so-called leader.
'Looks like I'll have to find a way to contact Noldrei later. I wonder how he's doing. Maybe I should check on his friends.'
---||---
At this moment, Elysia also received a message from Noldrei.
Elysia had always thought Noldrei was a strange guy, and today was no exception.
The message he sent was that he had already infiltrated the Xianzhou's Alchemy Commission and had become an outstanding Head Diviner!
Not only that, but he had also met a Head Diviner named Dan Shu who had the aura of a married woman.
From today on, he would be staying at the Alchemy Commission for a while and would only come back after he had secured enough benefits.
"That damn man…"
Elysia let out a long sigh, lamenting that she had chosen the wrong boss.
The Herrscher of Sentience thought Elysia was overthinking things. "It's a good thing he's not coming back. If he came back for no reason, he'd just get in the way of me fixing the Cosmic Juggernaut Train sooner. If we can't fix the problems with the Cosmic Juggernaut Train, how are we supposed to get back?"
"If it were up to me, we'd just secretly fix the Cosmic Juggernaut Train, then ditch him here and go back ourselves. It would be doing our world a favor!"
Elysia looked at her pitifully. "Are you really sure it would be a good thing? If we went back, and many people saw that he didn't return… then when Earth's civilization develops to the point of accumulated contradictions he talked about, the ones coming to hunt us down wouldn't be him. Are you really sure you want to do that?"
The Senti-Mobius thought about that scenario and shivered in fear.
"No way, no way. I'd rather take this thing and run to another world."
Elysia advised, "Don't be silly. This thing is mainly powered by Honkai Energy, and the core inside was even created by the Finality. When you're observed, where do you think you can run?"
The Senti hadn't expected to be branded like this. It was only then that she remembered she was still a Herrscher.
As long as one was a Herrscher, it was difficult to escape the grasp of the Finality, especially since the current Finality was even more troublesome.
Just as the two were considering whether to 'betray' their boss.
Fu Xuan finally returned from her 'trip' to Changle Tian.
She had worked hard and diligently in Changle Tian, not only sorting out many disobedient Disciples of Yaoshi with sticky fingers but also strengthening and improving the organization's internal communication methods.
This allowed the power-obsessed Lord Purple Rose to quickly enjoy the benefits of having a highly capable subordinate.
Fu Xuan's status had already surpassed Green Hibiscus's, and she was on the verge of being promoted to a prominent figure within the Disciples of Sanctus Medicus.
She heard that Purple Rose intended to take her to meet the leader of the Disciples and even planned to recommend her to be the person in charge of the next Delve.
Fu Xuan found the whole thing bizarre, but Noldrei hadn't contacted her at all, which made her very worried about his situation.
Even though the results of her divinations were all auspicious, very auspicious, and the like.
But the current Fu Xuan didn't really trust the results of her divinations. After being attacked by Noldrei, her divination results concerning him were always in a Schrödinger's state of 'Did I influence it?' or 'Did I not influence it?'.
Therefore, Fu Xuan had no choice but to find Elysia and Senti-Mobius to inquire about the situation.
"Elysia, where is your Leader? Has he been back recently?"
Fu Xuan got straight to the point with her question.
Fu Xuan's demeanor made Elysia curious. She wondered what on earth Noldrei had done to have such a hold on this centuries-old young woman.
Elysia's acting skills were top-notch. She turned the question around. "Master Diviner, don't you have the ability to divine? Finding his location shouldn't be a problem, right? And if I remember correctly, the two of you went out together. How did you manage to lose him?"
Fu Xuan's face was full of difficulty. She explained, "That guy acted on his own accord, and… we had a bit of a disagreement, so we went our separate ways. I wanted to ask you if he has contacted you."
Having spent a long time with Aponia, Elysia naturally knew how to communicate with these people who dabbled in prophecy.
She asked, "Why don't you try to divine when and where you and he will meet? Wouldn't that put your mind at ease?"
Fu Xuan was stunned for a moment. She had almost forgotten she had the ability to divine fate and affinity.
Seeing her start to move, Elysia knew what Fu Xuan was about to do. She quickly stopped her. "Don't try to divine just yet. Just try to follow your own thoughts. Forget about divination. Just think about how you would find him without it. Use that to compare with the feeling you get from your past divinations."
"He did contact us to let us know he's fine, but we don't know where he is or what he's doing. And I still have to help Little Mobius repair our things, as well as handle trade and dealings with your Xianzhou locals."
Elysia patted the Master Diviner's shoulder and said seriously, "You have to rely on your own abilities to find people."
Fu Xuan had never really thought about how to act without relying on divination.
Her situation was different from Qingque's. Although Qingque was a diviner, divination was just a tool she used for emergencies.
In terms of frequency, Fu Xuan used divination for almost everything, big or small.
No wonder Noldrei looked down on the Master Diviner's methods.
"I understand. I have some work to do recently, so I might not have time to come back. If you have any news about him, please contact me as soon as possible."
Fu Xuan seemed to feel that she shouldn't stay here for too long. She had arrived in a hurry and left just as quickly.
Elysia watched Master Diviner Fu's departing figure and marveled, "Noldrei is truly amazing. No wonder Aponia refused to meet him back then. If they had really met, she would have been ruthlessly broken down into a state just like this girl."
"That just shows that Aponia's ability to foresee fate is a step above."
The Senti carefully pretended not to have heard Elysia's words, merely making a small mental note against her.
What is a bad woman? Well, this is it!
