When everyone had run off, Qingque's eyes shifted over to them. When she saw the Celestial Jade, there was a moment of hesitation in her eyes.

Stelle: "What do we do with the missing player? Should we get her to join?"

Pei Guang pointed toward the door: "No need, look! Huohuo's coming over! Let's get her in!"

At the door, Huohuo was rushing toward them.

As soon as she saw Pei Guang and the others sitting down, she was about to speak, but Pei Guang grabbed her and shoved her into a seat.

Huohuo: "Hey? What are you doing?"

Pei Guang: "Don't worry, we're playing Celestial Jade and are missing a player. You're up."

Huohuo: "Ah? This... I'm not very good at it..."

Pei Guang shook his head: "It doesn't matter if you're good or not, what matters is that we're playing. Heliobus or whatever isn't important. Let's just play a game of Celestial Jade."

Huohuo realized that this was Pei Guang's special method to catch the Heliobus, so she nodded: "Okay, okay. But I'm not very skilled..."

Huohuo finally sat down in the missing spot, and as soon as she did, Qingque's pupils, possessed by Heliobus, shook.

In that moment, the Heliobus controlling her was also shocked: normally, when it took control of Qingque's body, her mind didn't resist at all.

She clearly had the will to drive it out, but she was doing nothing—her consciousness just gave up.

Now? After Huohuo sat down, Qingque's will began to run wild, but fortunately, it only lasted for a moment, and the Heliobus quickly suppressed it again.

However, the next scene caused Qingque's consciousness to start going berserk.

The four of them, whether intentionally or accidentally, weren't just playing single cards like others. They were breaking up combinations.

Breaking up combinations was one thing, but if they could Kong (declare a meld), they wouldn't. They'd break up cards instead. One second, they'd break a card, and the next second, someone would play a card that could win without breaking it.

Watching this, Qingque, controlled by Heliobus, felt like she could become Mara-struck any second from there on.

Her consciousness screamed: "Stop! Play a line! A line! Ugh, why are you playing the three-man?"

Right now, Qingque wished she could personally take over and show these people what it meant to be a master of Celestial Jade.

Fu Xuan noticed the change in Qingque: "It's working!"

Huohuo: "Then let's put in some more effort!"

Pei Guang: "No problem!"

The four of them, being awful at cards, didn't care about winning or losing, just played recklessly, and the more they played, the more uncomfortable Qingque felt.

The Heliobus sensed that Qingque was about to break free from its control, but would it really let Qingque go?

A Heliobus' pride wouldn't allow it to be driven out so easily.

At that moment, it increased its hold. Green ghost flames appeared around Qingque, and her consciousness was suppressed under the power of the Heliobus.

Stelle looked at Pei Guang from the side: "Just now, Qingque seemed to be getting back to normal, so why did it suddenly fail?"

Pei Guang stroked his chin and thought: "Maybe when the Heliobus used more force, Qingque thought waking up was too troublesome and decided to keep dreaming?"

Seeing this, Fu Xuan suddenly stood up: "Is that so?"

Huohuo: "It's fine, I brought the Heartfire Bell. Let's go into her inner illusion and take a look."

Heliobi created two types of illusionary worlds.

One was an illusion that directly affected reality, which could only be created by a powerful Heliobus. The other was a mental illusion, where a magic tool was needed to allow the person's consciousness to enter.

If an individual's will couldn't resist the Heliobus, the Ten-Lords Commission would enter their consciousness to awaken them and expel the Heliobus.

With the sound of the magical tool, the four of them entered Qingque's illusion.

It was a crowded indoor space where many people didn't know what they were queuing for, and there were 'Cloud Riders' maintaining order in the line.

Amid the noisy crowd, Pei Guang saw someone familiar.

And when the four of them entered Qingque's illusion, Pei Guang, with his sharp eyes, spotted an interesting person.

"Hey? Fu Xuan? Look, is that person you?"

Fu Xuan, upon entering the illusion, instinctively looked in the direction Pei Guang pointed to.

When she saw it, her anger flared up instantly.

In the front of the line, there she was, looking like a maid attending to guests and explaining something to them.

She never expected that in Qingque's eyes, she was just a maid? She was the head of the Divination Commission, for heaven's sake! Even in a dream, she should at least be a small manager, right?

Fu Xuan was furious.

Seeing this, Pei Guang comforted her: "Don't be mad, this is just an illusion created by the Heliobus based on Qingque's consciousness. Isn't it fine for someone to have a weird dream?"

With Pei Guang's comfort, Fu Xuan calmed down: "You're right."

Huohuo: "But where is Qingque? If we can't find her, we won't be able to capture this Heliobus."

Stelle looked toward the fake Fu Xuan: "Well, there's Fu Xuan, right? Let's ask her what she thinks~"

Fu Xuan glared at Stelle. She could clearly feel that Stelle's words were laced with double meaning.

But what happened next made Fu Xuan's mind short-circuit.

Pei Guang turned to Huohuo, suddenly curious: "I have a question. The people who appear in the illusion, are their bodies the same as their real ones?"

"Eh?"

Huohuo was taken aback by the question.

She didn't understand why Pei Guang was asking, but after thinking for a moment, she answered: "An illusion can't exist outside of what the person and the Heliobus both know. If the possessed person and Heliobus don't know something, it can't exist in the illusion."

Pei Guang: "I see…"

Listening to Huohuo's explanation, Pei Guang became even more curious. As Pei Guang's ally, Stelle also realized what Pei Guang was thinking at this moment.

Seeing their expressions, Fu Xuan had a bad feeling: "You two, what kind of bad idea are you cooking up?"

However, Pei Guang and Stelle didn't give Fu Xuan the chance to speak.

They both walked toward the illusionary Fu Xuan, and when the other Fu Xuan saw them, she immediately spoke up: "I know you two. We met before when Qingque was rising to power."

Pei Guang: "Oh? The Master Diviner knows us?"

The other Fu Xuan: "I'm no longer the Master Diviner. Please don't address me like that. I'm just an ordinary errand worker under the Luofu Dynasty Corp now."

Pei Guang: "I see. Well, Fu Xuan, let me ask you a question. Do you remember what I did to you?"
