—Additionally, according to the official investigation, Grand Celestial Master Lucian and Master Diviner Fu Xuan secretly registered their marriage, though it has not been publicly announced.
"Fu Xuan...? What? She was involved, too?" Yao Guang muttered in disbelief, feeling the situation beco even more absurd. "Marriage registration, huh? Let see..."
Her curiosity got the better of her, so she began searching Fu Xuan's marital records, and soon enough, she found them.
"No way... they really are legally married? When did that little girl even make her move?"
Yao Guang's common sense was shattered once again.
Regardless, this matter needed to be seriously divined first, so without delay, she quickly laid out her divination hexagrams and perford a divination on Fu Xuan.
Unfortunately, although the rest of Fu Xuan's background was fine—easy to divine—whenever the details involved Lucian, the divination ended up failing, yielding no result at all.
"I must report this to the Marshal imdiately... Even the think tank of the Yuque has been affected..."
Imdiately after muttering this, Yao Guang promptly contacted Marshal Hua, and thus, all the Arbiter-Generals held another internal online eting.
[Hua: Everyone, there's news from the Yuque. Like the previous cases, the forr Yuque Master Diviner, Jingtian, has been resurrected. Yao Guang has verified his identity.]
[Huaiyan: Ohoho, isn't that wonderful? Congratulations to the Alliance for gaining another powerful figure.]
[Yao Guang: It's the sa as before—related to Lucian. Even the Yuque's think tank now records his existence, but I have no mory of him myself.]
[Xuanquan: Incredible... Luckily, it benefits the Alliance, or else, this would be a real headache.]
[Feixiao: Normal. You'll get used to it.]
[Yueyu: General Yao Guang, please pass my regards to Master Diviner Jingtian—welco back to life.]
Yueyu honestly hadn't expected Jingtian to be resurrected.
It seed that Lucian had quietly accomplished sothing significant again in recent days without her knowledge. And this also made her wonder which woman had her heart stolen by him this ti, her fate rewritten as a result.
[Yao Guang: Both Jingtian and the think tank said that during the Third Abundance War, Lucian summoned the Reignbow Arbiter's projection, annihilated the Abomination army, and brought about a grand victory to the Fanghu. Xuanquan, does the Fanghu show any change?]
[Xuanquan: What grand victory? I an, the East Sea Delve is still a wasteland and the deceased victims still deceased—what victory are you talking about?]
Xuanquan glanced at the surveillance feed of the Xianzhou Fanghu's East Sea Delve, showing a ruined area of several hundred ters.
Back then, the Sky-Shattering Lux Arrow shot by the Reignbow Arbiter had blown up one-fifth of the Xianzhou Fanghu, and to remind future generations of that tragedy, the 'Third Abundance War Reignbow's Road Museum' was built upon the ruined East Sea Delve.
'Last ti, Yueyu also said the Fanghu had victory. Now Jingtian says the sa thing... Why hasn't anyone in the Fanghu co back to life then?' Xuanquan thought with a slight envy. 'If only the Fanghu could experience what the Cangcheng experienced...'
It should be noted that the vidyadhara couldn't reproduce normally and could only rely on reincarnation to sustain their race.
Sadly, during the Third Abundance War, many vidyadhara had died, resulting in their diminishing numbers.
Now, they had no choice but to hide away and recover in seclusion.
If they could be like the Xianzhou Cangcheng, where all their citizens got back to life, Xuanquan didn't even dare to imagine how great that would be.
"General, I found two files in the treasury, but I'm not sure if they're genuine."
As Xuanquan was still lost in thought, imagining the great fortune that had happened to the Xianzhou Cangcheng also happening to the Xianzhou Fanghu, her Chief Counselor interrupted her thoughts and handed her two contract docunts.
"What's this?"
Xuanquan looked down and saw the words 'Debt Contract' written on top.
As she read the first docunt, it was a debt contract with Koolur, with the debtor being the Xianzhou Fanghu and the creditor being Lucian.
And to her surprise, the second docunt was also a debt contract, but this ti with the Xianzhou Yuque, with the debtor being the Xianzhou Fanghu again, and the creditor still Lucian.
'What on earth? When did we ever have a debt?' Xuanquan thought in disbelief, feeling completely dumbfounded. 'And to him, of all people? I've never even t him!'
Looking closer, the content was actually identical—during the Third Abundance War, Lucian had supported the Xianzhou Fanghu at great expense, and the Fanghu voluntarily agreed to bear the cost of his aid.
However, since they couldn't settle the paynt at once, they signed a debt contract for installnt repaynt.
'Ridiculous! Why did the Cangcheng get free miraculous resurrections, but the Fanghu got into debt? It's unfair!'
Xuanquan couldn't help but complain bitterly in her heart.
'Don't tell next ti he affects soone again, or another Abundance war breaks out, the Fanghu will end up in another debt...?'
What made this worse was that the contracts actually bore the personal seals of the Vidyadhara High Elder and herself as the Xianzhou Fanghu's Arbiter-General.
In other words, they were debts personally acknowledged by her and Glaciator Marum.
Even though the Xianzhou Fanghu hadn't changed one bit, now they sohow owed two massive debts to Lucian.
'No! I'm not acknowledging these! Not even if it kills !'
It was truly bullshit!
They hadn't gained any benefits—why would they pay?
[Xuanquan: Yao Guang, you asked what kind of change the Fanghu got? Hah, the ruins are still ruins, the dead are still dead, but now we have two damn debts! We owe Lucian two huge debts, and we can't even pay them!]
[Huaiyan: General Xuanquan, language.]
[Jing Yuan: Debts? How did that even happen?]
[Yueyu: ...]
Yueyu didn't dare respond because she still rembered clearly that one of those debts had been signed under her persuasion.
Of course, the debt was signed and agreed to by the Xuanquan in her so-called second life, and the current Xuanquan rembered nothing of it.
[Xuanquan: Both debt contracts said it was during the Third Abundance War, to save the Fanghu, the Fanghu voluntarily reimbursed the expenses. And both of them even got my and Glaciator Marum's seals on it—don't you think that's absurd?]
[Huaiyan: Well... if it's got your and Glaciator Marum's seals, that's hard to dispute.]
[Xuanquan: Don't care. I'm not acknowledging it. We broke, can't pay. Unless Lucian helps rebuild the Fanghu or resurrects my people.]
[Feixiao: Don't say that—you know he could actually do it.]
[Xuanquan: If he can, that'd be great. If he rebuilds the Fanghu and resurrects my fallen brethren, I'll even beco his concubine!]
[Jing Yuan: What?!]
[Feixiao: What?!]
[Yueyu: What?!]
[Teng Xiao: What?!]
[Huaiyan: General Xuanquan, please watch your words. Have so dignity for the Alliance. You're an Arbiter-General.]
[Yao Guang: Ahem, the concubine thing isn't important. Let's set that aside. What's important is... Lucian has a marital relationship with soone from my Yuque, so he's one of ours. You all better not try to steal him.]
[Feixiao: What did you just say?! Marital relationship?! With who?!]
[Yueyu: Yes, spell it out! Who's he married to?!]
[Yao Guang: I know you two are in a rush, but calm down first. First of all, the marriage registration is official—you can verify it through the Alliance database if you don't believe it. Look.]
Yao Guang displayed the screenshot of Lucian and Fu Xuan's marriage certificate for everyone to see.
===
Inside the Seat of rlin's Claw, Feixiao and Yueyu both stood up abruptly, looking completely stunned.
Yueyu: "Feixiao, looks like soone broke into our family."
Feixiao: "Yueyu, I'm not letting this slide."
Neither of them could have imagined that such a devastating surprise could co out of nowhere.
Yueyu: "No way—we need to register our own marriage with him too, or we'll be a step behind."
Feixiao: "You're right. We need to call him over to the Yaoqing and register our marriage, make him part of the Yaoqing."
===
"W-Why on earth is Diviner Fu involved in this...?"
Inside the Seat of Divine Foresight, as soon as Jing Yuan saw the screenshot of Lucian and Fu Xuan's marriage certificate, his jaw almost hit the floor.
He couldn't help it.
They'd just been drinking and chatting last night, and from what he saw, Fu Xuan and Lucian had clearly been just ordinary friends, so how had they suddenly beco husband and wife in just a few hours?
It was so absurd!
However, he rembered that Fu Xuan should still be in that mysterious condition where she lost consciousness and couldn't be touched at all, so how could she suddenly beco Lucian's wife in that mont?
Could it be that Lucian had done sothing to her during that ti?
No matter how he thought about it, Jing Yuan couldn't find any answer, so the only way was that he needed to confirm directly with the people involved.
As the other Arbiter-Generals continued conversing with each other, Jing Yuan imdiately called Fu Xuan, trying to check if she was back to normal.
[Hello, General? What do you want?]
Hearing Fu Xuan's voice, Jing Yuan confird—she had recovered.
"Hey, Diviner Fu, let ask—did you really register your marriage with Lucian at the Yuque?"
[Huh? How did you know?! No, wait, who told you that?!]
"It's true..." Jing Yuan muttered in disbelief, then cald himself before responding. "Well, General Yao Guang showed your marriage certificate..."
Right after saying this, he imdiately sent the screenshot of the marriage certificate to Fu Xuan.
===
Inside Lucian's room, soon after closing Jing Yuan's call, Fu Xuan's phone vibrated, and a ssage popped up from him.
[(Attachnt: Screenshot of Marriage Certificate)]
Seeing this ssage, Fu Xuan quickly downloaded the attachnt, then opened it, revealing an image.
—Lucian & Fu Xuan - Marriage Registration Status: Approved (Star Year 8072)
Upon reading the line written on the marriage certificate, Fu Xuan's lips curled upward instantly, looking relieved as well as happy.
In the next mont, her fingers tapped swiftly on the phone screen, replying to Jing Yuan.
[Fu Xuan: Thanks, General. You really saved a lot of trouble!]
Right after sending this ssage, Fu Xuan lifted her head proudly, swinging her phone toward Jingliu's face with a smirk, her eyes curling into crescents as she looked at the face of her 'rival.'
"Look at this solid proof! I'm really Lucian's lawful wife!"
