Chapter 872 The Theory of Astrology
Having his own father expose his shortcomings again, Bei Chenling moved his lips, glared at Lin Zhao resentfully, and turned to leave.

Lin Zhao: "?" What does this have to do with me? Why are you glaring at me?

As the head of the Beichen family watched his son walk out of the Star-Picking Tower, the helplessness in his eyes slowly disappeared. He turned to look at Lin Zhao, his expression becoming more meaningful.

"Has the Immortal Lord visited the Seven Star Palace?"

Lin Zhao subconsciously sensed that the person in front of her wanted to say something to her alone. She thought for a moment and said, "I've already been there."

As expected, the head of the Beichen family said, "Could we speak privately for a moment?"

Lin Zhao nodded.

The two went to the most luxurious private room in the Star-Picking Pavilion. After sitting down, the head of the Beichen family introduced himself to Lin Zhao as the head of the Beichen family.

"My good-for-nothing youngest son, if not for the constraints of the stars, might have inherited my position."

Lin Zhao watched as the other person poured tea for her, and slowly sat up straight.

"The Immortal Lord is extremely intelligent and can probably guess why I am looking for you."

Lin Zhao said, "Young Master Beichen's attitude towards me... I have to think about it carefully."

Even if someone idolizes the rumored version of himself, a young master from a prestigious family, he wouldn't stoop to being a receptionist here waiting for him.

Unless there is some compelling reason why this young master cares so much about me.

Given the subtle overlap between the Beichen family and the Seven Star Palace, Lin Zhao couldn't help but wonder if he had some kind of connection with the young master of the Beichen family.

"Actually, when Ling'er was born, we always thought that he was the Lord of Tian Shu Star, because his astrological chart almost completely overlapped with that of the Lord of Tian Shu Star."

Lin Zhao raised her eyes and stared intently at the head of the Beichen family.

"The Lord of Tian Shu Star possesses the power to guide and command the Seven Stars, and the status and essence of the Seven Star Palace are perhaps clearer to you than this old man, as you have fought against the evil thoughts of the other world for many years."

Lin Zhao subconsciously leaned back, adopting a defensive posture.

"What does Senior Beichen mean?"

"Immortal Lord, don't worry. What you know is also clear to us old folks in the Upper Realm. The Palace Master of the Seven Star Palace is not with the evil thoughts of the other world. In fact, after so many years of deduction, we have come to the conclusion that perhaps only by uniting the power of the Seven Star Palace and the original power of the cultivation world can we fight against the gods."

Lin Zhao's eyelashes trembled.

"So after discovering Ling'er's astrological chart, we decided to arrange a marriage between him and the heir of a powerful clan with the power of the origin of the cultivation world, thus uniting the two forces."

Lin Zhao's throat felt a little itchy, so she picked up her teacup and took a sip.

"After you appeared, we realized that we were going in the wrong direction. Perhaps we didn't need this rigid way of combining the two forces. You yourself have the origin and will of both attributes. You are the most perfect manifestation."

Lin Zhao gave a bitter smile: "But at this time, the young master's engagement was also finalized, and he was told that he had been raised as a savior all along. But then he was suddenly told that I was the one who would implement this plan?"

She made her point too clear, leaving the head of the Beichen family somewhat helpless: "It's even worse to keep it from him, and you've seen Ling'er's personality. He simply won't grow into the savior we need in such a short time. To be honest, perhaps because he grew up with the expectation of being a savior, Ling'er has become quite arrogant."

Lin Zhao finally understood why this kid disliked her.

What a joke! If it were her who had been instilled with the idea since childhood that she was a savior, and that her marriage and future were a chosen one of heaven created for the cultivation world, and then suddenly someone appeared and shattered all her previous fixed perceptions, she would also find it difficult to get over it all at once.

Lin Zhao said, "But I only just found out about these things myself. It's really...unbelievable that the young master views me this way..."

To be honest, Lin Zhao can't even imagine herself as a "savior" right now. All she does is make things better for the things she cares about; being a savior is something for the sake of the Heavenly Dao.

Lin Zhao did not believe that she could be equated with the Heavenly Dao.

Knowing that Lin Zhao was indeed somewhat innocent, the head of the Beichen family immediately said, "In this regard, the Beichen family will provide the Immortal Lord with certain compensation. We hope that the Immortal Lord will be more lenient towards my son for his earlier and future offenses. This child had his reasons, and he is not a bad person by nature."

I understand. Although the other party phrased it euphemistically, that's the general idea.

We have money, we'll give you whatever you want, we just need you to take good care of my young master.

Lin Zhao has always been accepting of such things.

"of course."

Seeing that Lin Zhao was so easy to talk to, the head of the Beichen family breathed a sigh of relief.

"By the way, the patriarch said that the young master's astrological chart almost overlaps with that of the Tian Shu Star Lord. Is it possible that the young master is the true Tian Shu Star Lord?"

Lin Zhao never doubted that his position as the Lord of Tian Shu Star was just a conspiracy by the gods. Therefore, his position as the Lord of Tian Shu Star was not legitimate. Who should be the true Lord of Tian Shu Star?
The answer lies at hand.

The Beichen family head's expression was somewhat strange: "Impossible. Although Ling'er is my son, I have to admit that Ling'er does not possess some of the qualities that the Tian Shu Star Lord should have."

Lin Zhao asked in surprise, "The characteristics of the Lord of Tian Shu Star?"

"Those who are greedy and martial, with the sun and moon flanking their destiny, will experience setbacks in their early years. But they will transform into dragons amidst wind and rain, destined to be emperors, though they will be prone to romantic entanglements."

Lin Zhao: "..." These traits don't really apply to me!

The head of the Beichen family shrugged his shoulders dejectedly as he said this: "Putting everything else aside, apart from the marriage we arranged for him when he was young, this kid doesn't know a single woman of the opposite sex from another race."

Lin Zhao thought for a moment, then gave a thumbs up: "This shows that the young master's feelings are sincere and that he is particularly fond of his fiancée. How can a destined love not be considered a love affair?"

The head of the Beichen family looked at him strangely: "The right match? The person we arranged for him is Youchen."

Lin Zhao listened with awe.

She hesitated for a while before coming up with an awkward, incoherent sentence: "The young master is of immeasurable nobility."

Youchen is now the only young master of the Ancient Dragon Clan!

If they get married, this young master will become another master of the Ancient Dragon Clan, which is an extremely prestigious status in the entire cultivation world.

"What do you mean by 'immeasurably precious'? The day Young Master Youchen was appointed as the young master, my son went to break off the engagement with someone." The head of the Beichen family felt heartbroken when he mentioned this.

Lin Zhao was speechless. She awkwardly poured herself a cup of tea and began to drink it.

"I'm saying all this just to express that my son couldn't possibly be the Lord of Tian Shu Star. But the astrological signs are like this, which can only mean one thing: he is a minister of the Lord of Tian Shu Star."

Upon hearing this, Lin Zhao nearly spat out the tea in her mouth.

Previously, she could at least listen to the interesting stories of this young master and his family from the sidelines, but now she had to take a closer look at this so-called astrology.

“Similar astrological signs do not necessarily mean they are related to the Lord of Tian Shu. In addition, Lin Zhao himself may not be the real Lord of Tian Shu.”

Lin Zhao was indeed not the true Lord of Tian Shu Star; she was truly dead. She had always been dead. Her position was a result of a power struggle between the gods and the High Priest. The gods wanted her to kill the High Priest, who, of course, was no saint either.
