Or maybe a certain fortune teller who followed Si Ding to take over the shift noticed his stunned look and told him to focus:
"The bombardment is almost over, Yu Qianhu."
"Ah, I'll return to the team right away--" His tail and ears twitched again, and the young and chivalrous Qianhu quickly raised his spear and ran away as if to avoid Fu Xuan.
"Taibu, you scared my brother away." Seeing that Fu Xuan was so strict with Yunqi, who had nothing to do with her, Kong ended her teaching to Cocolia with a bit of ridicule.
"It seems like you guys had a pleasant chat?"
"Well, Si Ding accepted my proposal."
"...I'm not talking about that woman - huh, your reaction now doesn't seem to be consistent with the hexagram."
Fu Xuan pursed his lips, thinking that the more familiar he became with this man, the more he felt that he was full of desire to survive in some inexplicable places.
Even though she was talking about the Qianhu, he automatically turned the topic to Lingsha and hinted indirectly that they were still working together and hadn't hooked up yet.
...No matter what Taibu said, she actually cared a lot about the transaction between Lingsha and Kong. Otherwise, she would only need to discuss it with the general, and then coordinate with Kong remotely on the subsequent attack matters, and that would be it. There would be no need to show up to show her presence.
Of course, this could be considered a roundabout way of showing "loyalty" to her... Fu Xuan looked impatient, but in fact, he was very satisfied with his sensitivity in immediately distancing himself from the matter.
I have done my best to help up to this point - if the doctor doesn't like it, it's not my fault.
"Regarding Danzhu, I want to correct someone's outdated information - she was appointed by the Marshal and sent to Luofu by Zhuming to fill the position of Si Ding. Jingliu's worry is unnecessary. Si Ding has some intention of supervising us, so she has an unstable foothold in both Zhuming and Luofu. There is no need to worry that she will have time to plot against someone."
Fu Xuan put one hand on his waist and supplemented the information given by the "old senior" that might easily cause Kong to misunderstand:
"I don't think she would be happy to bear the extra burden—"
"Transferred from Zhu Ming?"
Jing Liu frowned: "No wonder."
Compared to the sword master's surprise, Kong was more surprised.
"Wait, Fu Xuan, what did you call her just now?"
"Danzhu—this was her alias when she was studying and practicing medicine abroad. Do you have any impression of her, Doctor?"
"No wonder, no wonder."
...You two are working together!
As Fu Xuan's mouth twitched, Kong Xin thought that this was another case of a fateful connection between isotopes - according to the information currently available, if he guessed correctly, the famous Marshal Hua was most likely...
"In terms of temperament, Danzhu here is much quieter. I didn't recognize him for a moment." Kong sighed to himself, leaving everyone confused.
"? Why, have you met before?"
"I'll explain it to you in detail when we get back, Fu Xuan. I can only say that it may be somewhat different from what you guessed."
Sora's mood inexplicably became better: "I'll tell you this as a bedtime story."
"... Humph, I just don't want you to be misled by some outsider who is eight thousand years old, so I came here to remind you - there is no need to question Si Ding's purpose. If it wasn't her who came, the situation would only be worse."
"I see. That's very considerate of you."
To deal with a tsundere, you can either praise him/her or insult him/her harshly, breaking him/her down and then rebuilding him/her - Kong Ze has always been a conciliatory person.
"... considerate... Do you usually fool around with other women in this way?" Unexpectedly, Fu Xuan's face turned pale because of this, and his snow-white cheeks became the same color as her hair.
...I just want to ask you to stop comparing yourself with others for no reason?
Kong Yi was embarrassed - are you really a naturally tsundere saint? I saw you were so proactive before, but I didn't realize that you were so vulnerable to teasing. Where did the seductive aura in the mediation room go?
"Hoo, anyway, Jingliu, you've been away from the Alliance for so long, the intelligence is already very backward, don't talk nonsense and affect the doctor's judgment."
Fu Xuan felt hot all over because of Kong's strange gaze. He felt as shy as if Kong had pinched his "tail" in public. After bending his legs inward for a moment, he pointed his spearhead at Jing Liu again.
Among this group of women, only Jingliu is the best target, after all, she is still a criminal.
"I see. But the so-called staff is supposed to provide 'insights' to the commander-in-chief, right?" Jingliu still looked nonchalant and didn't take the young Taibu seriously at all.
[…This view is different from that view! It is to let you analyze strategy, not analyze women! ]
Fu Xuan glared at her fiercely, but after a moment of interaction with the captivating pink light, she felt it was not appropriate to keep staring at Jing Liu - she had the illusion that if she stared at her eyes too much, her soul would be sucked away by those pink eyes.
Phew, never mind. If I were this harsh with other women, maybe I could stop a lot of idiots from trying to cheat.
She cleared her throat and was about to pretend to show some "magnanimity" as a Grand Master, but Zhenhai's seaplane suddenly turned back from a distance and landed on the rail behind her, interrupting Fu Xuan's brewing:
"Commander, there is something underwater."
"Can you upload the video? The other party has not been activated. Only scattered individuals are marked in yellow on the small map."
There are many neutral units under the water, and the deeper ones cannot even be identified by the minimap. These things are very likely to have suddenly exploded due to Luofu’s advance or an erroneous artillery bombardment - but no matter how close Zhenhai’s aircraft fly to the water, they are not submarines after all, and can only send back unclear images and magnetic field data.
"About 80 meters deep - we caught some human figures, but they quickly went deeper."
As soon as she reached out with her slender hands, several blurry photos slipped out from her ship suit and sleeves. Fu Xuan's eyebrows jumped when he saw the magical equipment and supernatural powers.
This kind of diversified investigative capability... looks very convenient... won't it ruin my job, right? ⑶
While Fu Xuan was feeling an inexplicable sense of crisis, Zhenhai successively produced various investigation reports and even made a temperature map of the surrounding area of the platform and submitted it to Cocolia.
She was the only one who was most sensitive to "heat data" among the crowd. She patrolled back and forth between the orange-yellow and blue-green water bodies. Although the overall climate and temperature difference of Luofu were far different from those of Beloberg, she still found the most suspicious point.
"...It's a world-breaking reaction."
"Are you sure?"
Although Kong is a star core spirit, he has no knowledge of the generation range of the rift: "It's actually underwater?"
"Ninety percent probability. This kind of gradient is very familiar to me. The change in temperature and the wedge-shaped sudden change area are very clear even in the water. You see, the temperature difference map looks like an eye."
Cocolia didn't understand the high-tech data provided by Yunqi and Taipusi, but she was very sensitive to the general data provided by the ship girl. After all, she had the experience of personally creating, transferring, and marching in rifts. She quickly demarcated several suspicious areas and pointed to Sora: "The nearest one is at the estuary."
"...That is a passage leading to the Scaled Abyss, but not to the residential area."
Fu Xuan didn't want to be excluded like this. She was supposed to report what she saw at Qiongguan to the general first, but she couldn't help but come over to join in the discussion:
"What a neat arrangement... It's like a queue to welcome a distinguished guest."
"It's possible that they simply set up an ambush on both sides of the corridor... But with such a dense number of rift openings... hiss."
Kong picked up the blurry portrait and looked at it for a long time: "...It looks a bit like the outline of Xuzu. They knew they couldn't win on land, so they all turned to fight underwater? Interesting."
"So we finally found those missing Jinmie lackeys - wait, Doctor, you seem to be a great lord? Can you get these pawns to withdraw the underwater defenses as well?"
Just after he finished scolding Nanook, Jingliu remembered Kong's "dangerous identity" that was almost forgotten by everyone on Luofu, and breathed softly into his neck with a subtle and teasing tone.
"... I don't care about these bastards. 岑°】７◆≮⒍＞∩⒍3‰〉咝●∝４貳交℃Lｉu群～: I've said it before, at the space station and in Yalilo, the Legion nearly killed me twice."
Kong threw the aerial photo to Fu Xuan in a daze: "The scum forged in the furnace of war don't recognize their relatives... I haven't even recognized all my 'colleagues' yet. Who do you think is the most suspicious of this group of virtual soldiers?"
"I'm sorry, I don't know either."
Fu Xuan shook her head - she was a little embarrassed as she couldn't give an answer when it came to her professional field.
That hidden great lord... Fu Xuan couldn't even figure out his name because the other party's simulated form in the calculation was like a double shadow, firmly nailed together with the sky, almost inseparable...
This made her doubt for a moment that the so-called "participation of a great prince in the attack on Luofu" was just a misjudgment, but the movements of the Xu soldiers were cunning, and it did not seem like their spontaneous hunting behavior at all.
"The records of the Lord of Destruction by the Taipusi are not detailed enough... Most of them are just rumors. The Alliance has almost no records of fighting with them. The control over their whereabouts is also insufficient. If it weren't for the train sharing and the access to Fleming's think tank's permission... We wouldn't have known that the army of the Jinmiehuzu in the fringe world has become so large... What do you think, Doctor?"
"I haven't recognized all of them. I have no interest in my 'colleagues'."
Sora muttered quietly.
"?"
Fu Xuan tilted his head in disbelief—he almost couldn't help but use his Dharma Eye to create a force field, pinching the soft flesh on Kong's waist and twisting it hard:
"...You have been recognized by Jinmiehuozu for such a long time...Although it was involuntary, you are not even curious about the situation of the great lords?"
"There are so many bastards trying to get close to me by giving me shit. Can I go and find out if they had shrimp or leeks for dinner?"
Your description is too disgusting!!
Taibu's face turned black at Kong's overly dirty analogy - although he knew that he really despised the group of the Extinction Lords and was not acting.
"…I know the doctor has mysophobia and I don't want to have anything to do with them. But even if you don't want to understand now, just think of it as a way to save me some trouble. Please treat them as your main imaginary enemies and evaluate them carefully."
Fu Xuan suppressed his nausea and thought for a moment before he felt angry and amused at Kong's current state of mind. He then pulled out the collected files from his forehead and threw them into Kong's jade tablet, half forcing him to read and analyze them for himself:
"Although the information is insufficient... I still have a target of suspicion - those pawns underwater are evasive and sometimes real, and it seems that they are the work of a certain guy, but neither the company nor Luofu has recorded the other party's name. We only know that there is such a great king, and 122 worlds have fallen into his hands, all of which were self-destructed."
"Self-destruction?"
"He destroyed the civilization through spiritual disintegration, civil war, internal strife, distortion of faith, and other means - without too many virtual soldiers intervening. He did not use external violence to destroy the civilization, and his methods of destruction were completely different from those of Xing Xiao Zhu Luo. He was a sinister ruler."
Fu Xuan paused: "If the opponent's specialty is to rely on the internal cancer of civilization, we will definitely be able to find clues through Danshu's interpersonal relationships and the forces he contacts... But..."
Kong understood. Judging from the speed of his current advancement and the fact that the other party had given up so decisively, Si Danshu himself might have become a discarded pawn. wu∴#
"Did my letting her go affect your pursuit of the great ruler?"
"Hmm? How could that be? Letting her go gave us the opportunity to trace the enemy's activities, and only then did we confirm some traces of the Great Lord's activities." Fu Xuan had previously thought that Kong was just throwing a tantrum, but now it seemed that his plans were always hidden under an emotional surface. This was the highest level of playing with people's hearts -
"Dan Shu has been under surveillance. In addition to destroying her allies, she has also exposed a large number of secret personnel configurations outside of Luofu. I have handed them over to the Ten Kings Division for processing. It is now roughly confirmed that the Rift Realm is the only channel for her to obtain support from the outside... As for where it leads to and how many ambushes there are, it doesn't matter if we can't investigate it thoroughly."
Taibu immediately replaced his gaze with one of expectation and encouragement, and puffed at the air with all his might.
Seeing that she was no longer arrogant but smiling earnestly, Kong sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose:
"...After this is over, I will definitely live a life of luxury in Luofu and make up for it..."
"Hehe, I will accompany you then - maybe we can even invite the marshal to come in person." Fu Xuan snorted.
After the Luofu army invaded the Linyuan Realm and created a stable supply line, the next step was to remove every rift marked by Cocolia on the heat source map... Jing Yuan ignored the risk of damage to the Dandingsi platform and the pressure of reconstruction, and ordered the Jin people to bombard the border of the Linyuan Realm near the sea. I guess he couldn't wait to send the "Doctor" brand sweeping robot down.
Most of the ability of Sora to completely destroy the Rift and Swelling World was presented to the Marshal. This girl was probably encouraging him to speed up the cleanup and reward him well when celebrating the success.
"Speaking of that old Sixth Lord - didn't you give him a local Luofu code name? You can't just keep calling him 'that guy, that thing', right?"
"Woo--" The retro and deep sound of the horn spread from the center of the army, interrupting Kong's complaints to Fu Xuan.
"We should discuss this at the next meeting of the Six Imperials—"
Fu Xuan, whose mood had turned from bad to good, said a rare naughty remark and followed Kong Dan's painful sight back to the back: "You can give it a name that suits your bad taste when the time comes."
"...Alright. Rest time is over, guys!"

"This fog has not been dispersed at all by the bombardment..."
"But the bombardment seems to be very effective, Commander. Every time the clouds are blown away by the shock wave, the reconnaissance can see the charred wreckage."
