Yan Shiyi found a travel brochure for the Luofu on a magazine rack in the Herta Space Station's lounge. He decided to go back for a visit, only to discover that his hometown was just a little different from how he remembered it.
"Fu Xuan, I don't mind you splitting the Matrix of Prescience into three parts. I wasn't there, after all. But did the previous Diviner actually think carefully before taking it apart about why I designed the Matrix of Prescience as a unified whole instead of three separate pieces?"
Faced with Yan Shiyi's question, Fu Xuan had no answer. All she could do was lower her head and keep slurping her Xingyu Boba.
"Jing Yuan, tell me the story of the High-Cloud Quintet, especially the part about the Moon Rage."
The usually unflappable Jing Yuan was sweating bullets as Yan Shiyi patted his shoulder with an amiable smile.
"Dan Feng... No, I should call you Dan Heng. Bailu isn't currently capable of inheriting the title of Imbibitor Lunae, so I'm ordering you to temporarily serve as the Luofu's Imbibitor Lunae until Bailu has fully matured. This is a sin you have to atone for. Don't worry about those old fossils in the Vidyadhara elders' council. If they dare to object, my blade is still sharp. And don't think about running away while you're serving in the role. You wouldn't want to see the Xianzhou's Vidyadhara become wanderers again, would you?"
As his companions looked on helplessly, the cold-faced little dragon Dan Heng was forcibly dragged off the train by Yan Shiyi.
