Immortal Dynasty Hounds

Chapter 122 The Secrets of Divine Calculation, Yu the Great Weightlifting Champion

Lian Shanxin's memory is still okay.

He clearly remembered that at most half an hour ago, when he was eating at home, Lian Shan Jingcheng had said the exact same thing to him.

To prevent himself from making a mistake, Lian Shanxin calmed himself down and began to recall carefully, only to find that he had indeed made a mistake.

Lian Shan Jingcheng added a few more words:
"Xiao Xin, there's no use being anxious!"

Recalling that the following words were exactly the same as those in the Celestial Master's last letter, Lian Shanxin began to seriously consider whether his father was deliberately reminding him of something.

This can't be a coincidence, can it?
Old Deng, you still say you're just an ordinary doctor?
At this moment, Lian Shanxin even had a bold conjecture:

Is my father the real King of Hell?

Did Father assassinate the Celestial Master last night?
This morning at breakfast, my father had already guessed that Jiutian would inform him of the Celestial Master's death, so he deliberately gave him a hint.

No, that's not right. If Father wanted to specifically remind me, why did he keep denying it last night?
Did I guess my father's identity wrong? Was my father not the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Physician, but the eldest disciple of the Heavenly Calculator?

Does he have the ability to foresee the future?
That's not right either.

The current astrologer is only forty-five years old.

It's not much bigger than Lianshan Jingcheng.

Lian Shanxin felt like he was starting to get a brain.

"how?"

Cao Fuhu and Zhang Aniu both kept their eyes on Lian Shanxin, hoping that Lian Shanxin's Heavenly Eye could provide them with some unexpected gains.

Lian Shanxin spread his hands: "My lords, what are you expecting? This is just a letter. If I could see something from a letter, I wouldn't be a god, I would be a deity."

Zhang Aniu and Cao Fuhu were speechless.

Qi Shiyun also sighed softly: "The two of you are indeed grasping at straws in your desperation. Although A-Xin is exceptionally talented, he is still young. Shouldn't we choose another capable person to take charge of this matter?"

She also realized that the matter behind the Celestial Master's death was far more complex than she thought. Although Ah Xin was skilled at solving cases, the person who could kill the Celestial Master could also kill Ah Xin.

Even if the murderer is found, can he really be brought to justice?

Qi Shiyun expressed her doubts.

However, Zhang Aniu and Cao Fuhu were also out of options.

“This morning, Governor Cao and I jointly submitted a memorial to the capital, and we should receive His Majesty and the Empress’s reply tonight. Perhaps the three great constables of the capital will come to Jiangzhou in person. But to be honest, I don’t trust the three great constables as much as I trust Ah Xin.” Zhang Aniu said in a deep voice, “Originally, among the four great constables of the capital, Fang Yanfeng was the most capable in investigating cases, but Fang Yanfeng is already dead.”

Lianshanxin: "..."

Fang Yanfeng's death had nothing to do with him; it was all Qianmian's fault.

If it weren't for the Thousand-Faced Assassin King's assassination attempt, Fang Yanfeng would probably still be alive, and perhaps he could have taken the blame for Kuangshan's misdeeds.

"My lord, as the saying goes, you can't put all your eggs in one basket. Since martial artists below the Grandmaster level can still freely enter and leave Kuangshan, let's arrange as many people as possible. Let's entrust Ah Xin with full responsibility. If Ah Xin makes a mistake, we won't be able to handle the aftermath."

Qi Shiyun tried her best to shift the blame for Lianshanxin's actions.

But this reason for shifting the blame was reasonable, and Cao Fuhu slowly nodded: "What Scholar Qi said is something that Lord Tianjian and I have also considered. According to our idea, we should let Young Master Xin take charge of the overall situation, and all other martial artists below the Grandmaster level should obey Young Master Xin's orders."

Lian Shanxin immediately replied, "Your Excellency, I am not worthy."

"You're not worthy."

It was Zhang Aniu who spoke.

“Xiao Xin, don’t underestimate yourself. The document I received clearly states that the Empress Dowager has ordered you to oversee the entire Kuangshan matter, and even Shi Yun and Bi Yu must obey your orders.”

Lianshanxin: "..."

That's true.

The diva said at the time that Lian Shanxin's talent had more room to shine in the search for Kuang Lu.

Lian Shanxin agreed, since the Celestial Master hadn't died back then.

Who knew this matter could cause even a grandmaster to fall into trouble?

"Report, Governor, something has happened."

Everyone present felt a chill run down their spines.

Cao Fuhu called the men in and received some new bad news:

"Governor, the man who brought out the Celestial Master's last letter has gone mad."

"what?"

Cao Fuhu suddenly stood up.

Lian Shanxin's heart sank instantly.

"Take me to see it."

Cao Fuhu took the lead and walked forward.

A moment later, Lian Shanxin saw a madman.

Tears streamed down his face; he had completely lost control of his bladder and was repeatedly shouting:

"Ghosts, there are ghosts, there are ghosts in Kuangshan."

"No, they are immortals, there are immortals."

"No, it's a demon, a demon that's been missing for a thousand years."

"What was it? What did I see in Kuangshan? My head hurts so much, what is that? Roll out of my head."

boom!
This person actually tried to commit suicide by banging his head against a wall.

Zhang Aniu stopped him from a distance.

The sharp sword energy examined the person's entire body, but found nothing suspicious.

This made Zhang Aniu frown. After pondering for a moment, he knocked the man unconscious.

He then looked hesitantly at Lian Shanxin: "Xiao Xin, you really need to think this over carefully."

He still admired Lian Shanxin.

If it were just a matter of uncertain risk, Zhang Aniu would have wanted Lian Shanxin to take the risk for wealth and fortune. That's how Jiutian got his promotions and merits, including his own.

But if entering or leaving Kuangshan results in death or madness, then he would not forcibly assign the letter to Lianshan.

There must be a chance of success before something is worth doing.

Lian Shanxin felt a warmth in his heart as he sensed Zhang Aniu's protection.

Then Cao Fuhu, this true bodhisattva, made Lian Shanxin realize that he had warmed his heart too soon: "Young Master Xin, what did you see in him?"

"He's gone mad."

"Is that all?" Cao Fuhu frowned.

Qi Shiyun frowned as well: "Prefect Cao, what do you mean?"

Cao Fuhu gave Lian Shanxin a deep look and reminded him, "Young Master Xin is known as the Heavenly Eye, capable of seeing secrets others cannot. Could it be that the Heavenly Eye fails when danger arises? Or is the Heavenly Eye merely a facade, and Young Master Xin is deliberately deceiving the Emperor?"

Qi Shiyun was furious: "Cao Fuhu, do you think you're so great? You dare to question the people of our chosen one?"

Cao Fuhu was not angry with Qi Shiyun. He simply calmly reminded her, "Young Master Xin, fame is both an honor and a constraint. You have made a name for yourself as the 'Heavenly Eye,' so you will inevitably bear the consequences of that fame. I think this way, and so do the officials in the court, and even His Majesty and the Empress. You cannot only admit that you are the 'Heavenly Eye' when you win."

"you……"

Qi Shiyun held Cao Fuhu's weakness in her hands and was not afraid of Cao Fuhu, a powerful regional official. She was about to confront him directly when Lian Shanxin spoke first: "The governor is right."

"Ah-Shin?"

Qi Shiyun looked at Lian Shanxin with a puzzled expression.

Lian Shanxin had completely calmed down by this time: "Qi Tanhua, the governor was not targeting me. He was telling the truth. I cannot only admit that I have the Heavenly Eye when I win."

Everything has its advantages and disadvantages.

Thanks to the achievements of "Sky Eye", Lian Shanxin has already made it onto the Hidden Dragon List, and his name has been known to the world for the first time.

This is the benefit he received.

As a result, Lianshanxin must bear the consequences.

Adults take responsibility for their choices, and this holds true in Lianshanxin's life creed.

"Report this matter to Shenjing as well, and await Shenjing's instructions. If His Majesty and the Empress both wish me to take charge, I will not shirk my responsibility," Lian Shanxin said in a deep voice.

A hint of admiration flashed in Cao Fuhu's eyes: "Young Master Xin is a wise man. When a great responsibility is bestowed upon you, sometimes you have no choice but to accept it. In any case, Young Master Xin, be prepared. In my eyes, there is probably no one more suitable than you."

"That's not possible."

Qi Shiyun said coldly.

She misunderstood Lian Shanxin's meaning.

When Lian Shanxin said that everything was pending instructions from the capital, she immediately realized that Lian Shanxin was a fake princess.

Then it was natural to think that Emperor Yongchang would make an exception for his son.

Cao Fuhu smiled, ignoring Qi Shiyun, and continued to say to Lian Shan, "Young Master Xin, an angel may arrive in the capital at any time. I hope you can wait at the governor's mansion and not go home until you receive instructions from the capital. The matter of Kuangshan involves immortals, so the fewer people who know about it, the better. This is also to protect your parents."

Lian Shanxin glanced at Qi Shiyun.

Qi Tanhua truly treated him like one of his own, and almost revealed the truth about the Celestial Master's death right there at Huichuntang.

Unfortunately, the parents were too wary and didn't even ask any questions before directly telling the guests to leave.

Compared to his parents, Lian Shanxin's ability to shift blame is clearly still very immature.

He did not insist, but calmly said, "I will follow the governor's orders."

"Then please do as you please, Young Master Xin. I have official business to attend to."

Cao Fuhu did not stay for long.

After Cao Fuhu left, Zhang Aniu spoke in a deep voice, his tone solemn: "Xiao Xin, although Governor Cao's words were unpleasant, they were reasonable. The Empress Dowager only appoints people based on their abilities. If we report all this to her, she will probably still think you are the most suitable person in charge."

“Then I will accept it without hesitation. What is meant to be will be.” Lian Shanxin said shrewdly, “Lord Tianjian, do not worry about me. I believe that Kuangshan will not be an insurmountable dead end.”

"It's best that you have this mindset," Zhang Aniu said with some relief.

At Lian Shanxin's age, he would never have been so mature in his dealings with people, and he would easily have gone to extremes.

In contrast, Lian Shanxin was much more composed, and his hostility was much less than he had expected.

On the contrary, Qi Shiyun was somewhat worried.

After Zhang Aniu left, Qi Shiyun asked in a low voice, "Axin, are you sure His Majesty won't push you into a fire pit?"

"not sure."

"Huh? You still dared to agree to Cao Fuhu's request?" Qi Shiyun exclaimed in surprise.

Lian Shanxin sighed softly, "Qi Tanhua, it's not that I agreed, it's that I had no choice but to agree. When you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. I can't possibly go and join the Demonic Sect, can I? Now that I've joined the Nine Heavens, how can I disobey orders?"

"That being said, it seems that going in and out of Kuangshan is still too dangerous."

This was something Qi Shiyun hadn't anticipated.

Lian Shanxin laughed: "Once I'm in Kuangshan, who can force me out? When a general is in the field, he may disobey the emperor's orders. While I'm in Kuangshan, I can't receive the emperor's orders at all."

Qi Shiyun's eyes lit up: "Ah Xin, you're really talented."

This was an angle she hadn't considered.

Although this method is not foolproof, since Cao Fuhu could simply keep sending people into Kuangshan to find Lianshan Xin.

However, whether Kuangshan, which is isolated from the outside world, can find Lianshan Xin is up to Lianshan Xin.

When that time comes, the situation on the front lines will change rapidly, and the officials sitting in the rear will no longer be able to control the overall situation.

……

Half a day later.

The capital city, the imperial palace, the Dragon-Raising Hall.

Emperor Yongchang and Empress Dowager have both received the news from Jiangzhou.

Both of them were shocked and furious.

Especially the diva.

"The Nine Heavens Vein Master died suddenly and mysteriously, the first time in fifty years. What exactly happened at Kuangshan?"

The nine lineage masters of the Nine Heavens are, without exaggeration, at the top of the food chain in both the court and the public, and few dare to provoke them.

The Celestial Master's unexplained and violent death was a huge blow and provocation to the Nine Heavens.

If the Nine Heavens do not retaliate with thunderous force, their authority will be shaken.

To put it more clearly—gods cannot display their health bars.

Emperor Yongchang also realized the seriousness of the situation.

"Immortal, could it be that Mount Kuang will become a fragment of a celestial realm like Mount Ling and the Dao Court?"

The immortal's voice echoed within the Dragon-Raising Hall: "Currently, there is a 60% probability."

Emperor Yongchang and Empress Dowager's expressions grew even more solemn.

When Yu the Great unified the world, he destroyed countless kingdoms. His iron cavalry was invincible, only suffering defeats in two places.

A sacred mountain, a Taoist temple.

Both of these locations are suppressed by celestial artifacts, and cannot be broken by anyone other than an immortal. In fact, even ordinary immortals cannot break them.

Even though Emperor Taizu was already a deity, he still couldn't conquer Mount Ling and the Daoist court. However, neither Buddhism nor Taoism wanted to be enemies with the already powerful Yu the Great, so they nominally submitted. But the Buddhist and Daoist states always held a special position among Yu the Great's nineteen states.

These are two states that were never truly conquered by Yu the Great, and their greatest reliance is on the two fragments of the immortal realm, Mount Ling and the Dao Court.

Rumors circulate that Mount Ling and the Daoist Court are not actually located within this world. Therefore, even if Yu the Great's iron cavalry were to invade, it would be impossible to truly destroy the lineages of Buddhism and Taoism.

Emperor Yongchang and Empress Dowager both knew that this was not a rumor, but the truth.

The two fragments of the fairyland created a kingdom within a kingdom in two provinces, which was a major concern for the emperors of the Great Yu Dynasty throughout history.

Now that Kuangshan is showing signs of transforming into fragments of a fairyland, Emperor Yongchang is naturally very anxious.

"Immortal, is there any way to stop this?"

The immortal remained silent.

Emperor Yongchang cursed inwardly, "No wonder that old codger didn't go to Kuangshan himself."

I'm afraid of getting hurt in love.

The lineage of Yu the Great has never been broken for thousands of years, so Emperor Yongchang knew many secrets.

When Yu the Great established his kingdom a thousand years ago, he had ten immortals, which was the greatest source of his confidence in unifying the world.

However, one of them perished during the attack on Ling Mountain.

In the battle against the Daoist court, two Venerable Ones were lost.

This is how Florida and Texas came to be states within a state for a thousand years.

Yu the Great did not respect the protests of Buddhism, nor did he respect the history of Taoism. What Yu the Great respected was the power of Mount Ling and the Taoist court to destroy immortals.

There are houses of gold hidden in swords, and beauties like jade found beneath spears.

Emperor Yongchang knew these historical facts, and the immortals naturally knew them as well.

Therefore, the immortal assigned the task of finding the Kuang furnace to Emperor Yongchang.

"Your Majesty, Your Highness, there is another urgent report from Jiangzhou."

"Send it up."

Eunuch Wang presented the latest urgent report from Jiangzhou.

After reading it, Emperor Yongchang's forehead throbbed even more: "Immortal, this is troublesome. The martial artists below the Grandmaster level who came out of Kuangshan have gone mad."

The immortal spoke again: "Immortals and mortals are different. There is no need to send ordinary martial artists to Kuangshan to waste their lives. They have no resistance to immortal techniques. Even if they gain something in Kuangshan, they will be cursed by immortal techniques and suffer misfortune once they leave Kuangshan. The messages they send out are likely to be corrupted and will only mislead our vision."

Emperor Yongchang's heart sank: "So, there's no way to solve this?"

"It's not that we're at a loss; it's just that fragments of the Immortal Realm have always been difficult to explore. Each fragment of the Immortal Realm must have been the site of the death of an immortal, and it harbors a crisis powerful enough to destroy immortals. It's not something ordinary martial artists can get involved in. However, there's always a way out. As it stands, Mount Kuang is not a dead end. Moreover, as long as we can grasp the core of the Immortal Realm fragment, there's even a chance to refine the entire fragment. This is true for Mount Ling, and it's true for the Dao Court. Your Majesty, you should know more about this than I do."

The Empress looked at Emperor Yongchang.

She had already suspected it, and the immortal's words confirmed her suspicions.

Seeing this, Emperor Yongchang did not deny it: "I have merely inherited the legacy of my ancestors and inherited this fragment of the imperial palace, which is a fairyland. I am sorry for the immortals' laughter."

As expected, the diva confirmed her thoughts.

Florida has a sacred mountain, Daozhou has a Daoist temple, and how could the Great Yu, with his thousand-year-old lineage, not have his own fragments of a fairyland?

The most likely location is the palace of Yu the Great.

For thousands of years, Emperor Yu the Great has never been successfully assassinated by anyone outside the royal family as long as he was in the palace.

Internal strife doesn't count.

The Xuanwu Gate incident was a private matter for the royal family.

Qianmian was also lucky, as he succeeded twice against Emperor Yongchang, both times outside the capital city.

Within the imperial palace, anyone who gets a second chance at love is considered a thousand-faced woman.

The immortal's tone couldn't hide his envy: "The imperial palace isn't just any ordinary fragment of a fairyland. This is a remnant of the Dragon Court from ancient times, containing the most human fortune and the inheritance of the dragon race. The Xia Clan, what good luck."

Emperor Yongchang coughed lightly, changing the subject: "Immortal, do you have any further instructions regarding the Kuanglu matter?"

"Let the young masters of the Nine Heavens enter Kuangshan."

A single sentence from the immortal caused the heavens to change their expression drastically.

"Your Majesty, rest assured, we are not trying to harm them." The immortal explained, "Ordinary martial artists only practice martial arts and do not cultivate immortality, so they cannot bring out accurate information from Kuangshan. Only immortal techniques can counter immortal techniques. The young masters of the Nine Heavens and Nine Veins all possess the inheritance of immortals, making them the most suitable candidates."

The Empress frowned and said, "Immortal, please allow me to report. According to the report from Jiangzhou, once cultivators with the cultivation level of Grandmaster or above enter Kuangshan, they will not be able to come out for a short period of time. Even if they can resist the immortal curse within Kuangshan, it will probably be of no use."

"Then the young master is another genius of the first tier."

As soon as the immortal finished speaking, a name simultaneously appeared in the minds of Emperor Yongchang and Empress Dowager.

The immortal also mentioned: "Isn't there a little fellow who is known as the 'Heavenly Eye' and has won your favor? I think he would be very suitable."

The immortal personally selected the generals.

The Empress looked at Emperor Yongchang.

What are you thinking, son?

Emperor Yongchang remained silent for a moment before slowly speaking: "Immortal, I will consult the celestial divination and give you an answer as soon as possible."

"Very well, Your Majesty. Speed ​​is of the essence in war. Although there are not many immortal lineages in the world, there are still quite a few. The Demonic Sect, Mount Ling, the Daoist Court, and those reclusive lineages should all already know about the changes at Mount Kuang. If we do not act first, and the Kuang Furnace falls into the wrong hands, one of the nineteen provinces of the Great Yu will probably be lost."

The immortal's advice was blunt, but also very useful.

Emperor Yongchang, considering the current state of the Daoist and Buddhist states, knew that the immortal's words might very well become reality.

The legacy of Yu the Great spans thousands of years, and he has only ever expanded the territory, never losing any land.

Emperor Yongchang had no desire to be the first.

He and the Empress went to the headquarters of Nine Heavens together.

The divination slots for this month have all been used up.

If only the Empress herself intervenes, Heaven's calculations may not be favorable to her.

In fact, even if Emperor Yongchang intervened, Heaven's calculations might not give him any face.

Because this violates the original agreement with Tiansuan.

Emperor Yongchang could only hope that his imperial status and prestige would work.

A quarter of an hour later.

Nine Heavens Headquarters.

Tian Suan glanced at Emperor Yongchang and slowly shook his head.

This made Emperor Yongchang's heart sink.

"Your Majesty, you underestimate me. Even if you hadn't asked, I would have still performed this divination. Although the Celestial Master and I weren't exactly close friends, we were still from the same Heaven. How could I stand idly by while he died mysteriously?"

Emperor Yongchang felt ashamed: "It was my petty mind that led me astray."

"Your Majesty has indeed underestimated me," Tian Suan said frankly. "However, the Celestial Master's strength is far superior to mine. Even if I were to exhaust my lifespan to calculate his cause of death, I would still find it difficult to pinpoint the culprit."

"Regardless of the Celestial Master's death, I will not let you sacrifice your life in vain." Emperor Yongchang shook his head and said, "I plan to send Lian Shanxin into Kuangshan to thoroughly investigate the Celestial Master's death. I ask you to take action and determine whether Lian Shanxin's trip will bring him good or bad fortune."

Tian Suan's expression changed slightly: "Suan Lianshan's letter?"

"What's wrong?" The Empress was puzzled by the divination's reaction: "Can't Lianshan Xin be divined?"

Tian Suan gave Emperor Yongchang a deep look and reminded him, "Your Majesty, you seem to have previously doubted Lian Shanxin's bloodline."

Emperor Yongchang regained his composure and his tone returned to normal: "Therefore, I hope you can calculate the fortune of his trip."

"I hope Your Majesty will not regret this," Tian Suan said in a deep voice.

Seeing that Emperor Yongchang had no intention of changing his mind, Tiansuan could only sigh inwardly. Then, in front of Emperor Yongchang and the Empress, he activated his ability—Future Fruit!

Just moments later, the already aged Tian Suan seemed to age five years even more.

Dozens of wrinkles suddenly appeared on his face.

About three minutes later, Tian Suan opened his mouth and spat out a mouthful of black blood.

His aura dropped drastically, and he even seemed about to fall back to the Grandmaster realm.

This greatly surprised the diva: "How could the backlash be so severe?"

Emperor Yongchang explained, "It is correct that the Heavenly Calculation is performed once a month. Your Majesty, please do not be too critical of the Heavenly Calculation in the future. Their lineage is special because it is not compatible enough, so they must consume extra lifespan as compensation."

"What do you mean?" The Empress did not understand.

The inheritance of the Nine Heavens and Nine Veins is not mutually exclusive; it is impossible for them to share their core technologies with each other.

However, Emperor Yongchang, as the ruler of Yu the Great, had more information than Empress Tianhou.

"The lineage of the Heavenly Calculation School actually originated from the Demonic Sect."

"what?"

"To be precise, it comes from the power of knowing one's past lives among the six supernatural powers passed down orally by the Demonic Sect. Those who master the power of knowing one's past lives and the reasons for the karmic retribution they will receive in this life and the future can know the past life and death experiences of themselves and all sentient beings. The first lineage leader of the Heavenly Calculation lineage created the divination method of the Heavenly Calculation lineage—the future result—based on the power of knowing one's past lives and with his own profound Buddhist knowledge."

"Those who truly possess the power of predestination also know the 'past causes,' and the cost of activating this power is minimal. However, the Heavenly Calculation lineage, due to incompatibility in constitution, consumes additional lifespan each time it is activated. Moreover, they can only see the future and cannot know the causes and effects of the past."

"Even so, it is already a genuine immortal technique. Moreover, this lineage's abilities are crucial to Yu the Great, even more so than those grandmasters with stronger combat power."

After digesting this bombshell information, the diva nodded slowly.

Just then, Tian Suan finally finished his meditation and stabilized his precarious Dharma Aspect Realm.

"This is a huge problem, Your Majesty. I need to go into seclusion for at least three months, otherwise my Dharma Form will become unstable." As Tian Suan spoke, he coughed loudly.

He soon coughed up black blood.

This caused Emperor Yongchang and Empress Dowager great concern, and they were also skeptical.

After all, the two were well aware of Tian Suan's ability to slack off.

But now is not the time to dwell on that.

Emperor Yongchang went straight to the point: "What was the result?"

The diviner revealed his divination result: "The true dragon sheds its blood, the righteous path vanishes, and demons rise!"

Upon hearing this, Emperor Yongchang turned pale.

The Empress could naturally understand that this divination was extremely ominous.

After glancing at Emperor Yongchang, the Empress tentatively suggested, "Why don't we just give up and have someone else investigate?"

"Your Majesty, send a message to Jiangzhou: the affairs of Kuangshan are now entirely entrusted to Lian Shanxin. Tell Lian Shanxin that the safety of Jiangzhou, and even the safety of the nineteen prefectures of Dayu, rests on his shoulders. For the sake of all living beings, he must find Kuanglu."

After saying this, Emperor Yongchang turned and left.

After taking only two steps, Emperor Yongchang turned back and said, "Tian Suan has rendered great service but has shortened his lifespan. Tian Ji need not go to Kuangshan. Summon him back to the capital and take care of Tian Suan's health."

Tian Suan coughed lightly, rejecting Emperor Yongchang's offer of assistance: "Your Majesty, Tian Ji has his friends and his own world. Even if he returns to the capital to recuperate, he cannot help me."

Emperor Yongchang glared angrily at the Heavenly Calculation.

The only thing Tian Suan coughed up was blood.

Seeing the black blood that Tian Suan kept coughing up, Emperor Yongchang's heart softened: "Fine, do as you please."

Then turned and left.

Even just a fleeting glimpse of his back made him seem five years older.

However, neither the diva nor fate could sway them.

After Emperor Yongchang's figure completely disappeared, Tian Suan sneered, "I've truly witnessed the ruthlessness of the imperial family."

The Empress did not deny it, but calmly said, "His Majesty made an expected choice. Lian Shanxin, that child... has bad luck."

The heavens bowed their heads and remained silent.

Therefore, neither Emperor Yongchang nor Empress Tian saw the deep sarcasm in Tian Suan's eyes.

The true dragon sheds blood, the Tao vanishes and the demons rise; this divination is absolutely correct, Heaven will not tarnish its own reputation.

However, in the eyes of fate, it's hard to say who is unlucky.

Especially after Emperor Yongchang finally made the decision.

Tian Suan increasingly felt that his divination skills had improved.

All future results are the result of past causes.

Your Majesty, it was you who personally handed over the power of life and death to Lian Shanxin!
Even if I have already given you the answer.

You still made the worst choice.

This is an inescapable fate!

……

late at night.

Eunuch Wang, carrying the imperial edict, arrived at the Jiangzhou Prefectural Governor's Office and read out His Majesty's decree.

In an instant, all eyes were on Lian Shanxin.

The champion of weightlifting, Yu the Great, was born.

Lian Shanxin was also puzzled. How could someone as unassuming as himself shoulder the responsibility for the safety of the nineteen provinces of Yu the Great?
