Before long, several figures slowly appeared on the light screen.

The first to appear was General Yao Qing Fei Xiao.

Dressed in military uniform, he exuded a heroic aura and wore a smiling expression.

"Jingyuan, so early?"

"What happened?"

Jade palaces and celestial boats, star-gazing platforms.

Yao Guang was sitting in front of the huge astrolabe, her fingers tracing something in the air. When the light screen lit up, she didn't even look up, but simply gave a faint "hmm" to indicate that she understood.

Zhu Mingxianzhou, Huai Yan is forging iron.

The firelight illuminated his aged face, making his wrinkles appear as if they had been cast by molten iron. He put down the hammer, wiped his hands, and then slowly connected the communication.

Several other generals also appeared on the screen one after another.

Finally, a calm female voice rang out.

"Everyone is here."

Marshal Hua's figure appeared in the center of the light screen, his face calm and revealing no emotion.

"Jingyuan, why have you summoned the generals?"

Jing Yuan stood up and bowed to the marshal and the other generals.

"Marshal, gentlemen."

His voice was neither hurried nor slow.

"I'm sure you all already know about the divine decree issued by the Emperor's Bow. Last night, I, Luofu, found the person chosen by the Emperor's Bow."

There was a moment of silence in the light screen.

Feixiao was the first to speak, her eyebrows slightly raised.

"Found it? So fast?"

Jing Yuan did not answer directly, but looked at another figure in the light screen.

"General Yao Guang, please don't rush to calculate. Let me finish speaking."

Yao Guang finally raised his head.

She shifted her gaze from the star chart to Jing Yuan through the light screen, a faint smile playing on her lips.

"As expected of General Shence. The Emperor's decree was issued just one night ago, and we already have news? We at Jade Palace haven't even sorted out a clue yet."

Her voice was slow and leisurely, with a flavor that was hard to describe.

"If this gets out, people who don't know the situation will think that General Shence already knew who the Emperor Bow would choose."

Jing Yuan remained unfazed.

"General Yao Guang is joking. How could I possibly fathom the Emperor's thoughts?"

"Oh?"

Yao Guang's smile deepened.

"Then who is this person?"

“There is a young man in Luofu named Lin Si, who is eighteen years old this year. His father was once a counselor in the Yunqi Army, and his mother works in the Tianbo Bureau.”

He paused.

“Last night, he dreamed that the God of Bows drew his bow and shot nine arrows at him.”

The conference room fell silent for a moment.

Feixiao's brows furrowed slightly.

Nine arrows?

She repeated the number.

Jing Yuan nodded.

"Nine arrows, fire at once."

"He caught it?"

Feixiao pressed on, his eyes sharp.

Jing Yuan shook his head.

No. He was woken up by a fright.

Feixiao's expression turned strange.

Jingyuan continued:

"In addition, he also saw other star gods in his dream."

"Who?"

Marshal Hua spoke for the first time, his voice calm.

Jing Yuan paused.

"The Harmonious Heavenly Lord reached out his hand to him, and the Everlasting Joyful Heavenly Lord and the Heaven-Mending Master also appeared."

The atmosphere in the meeting room changed noticeably after those words were spoken.

"Harmonious Heavenly King? Hippe of Harmony?"

Yao Guang's tone carried a hint of disbelief.

"And pleasure and preservation?"

Jing Yuan nodded.

"That's why I'm in a hurry to inform you all."

He looked around.

"The Emperor's Bow's nine arrows are both a test and an invitation. But what if other Star Gods are also watching this child..."

He didn't continue.

But everyone understood what he meant.

If a child born and raised in Xianzhou is beaten to it by another star god, it would be a huge joke.

After a long while, General Fubo was the first to speak.

"Eighteen years old? An eighteen-year-old child, the Emperor Bow bypassed the ceremony to send down a test?"

Jing Yuan nodded.

"Exactly."

What makes him so special? Martial arts skills? Strategy? Or something else?

Jing Yuan thought for a moment.

"His martial arts skills are nothing to speak of. His legs are bad, and he's been in a wheelchair for years. But he does have some strategic acumen..."

"Eighteen years old, confined to a wheelchair, with no military experience, yet still selected by the Imperial Bow? Jing Yuan, are you joking?"

Jing Yuan shook his head, and was about to reply when Huai Yan slowly spoke up.

"Over the years, I have seen many people chosen by the Star God. There are young talents, old people, peddlers, and even descendants of generals. The Star God never looks at people's background when choosing them, but only at their heart and ability."

General Xu Ling's figure shifted slightly, and a deep voice came from behind him.

What is the nature of this child?

Jingyuan answered quickly.

"Calm, insightful, and knows when to advance and retreat. Faced with the test of the Emperor's Bow, he was neither flustered nor overconfident."

He paused.

He said, "I'll give it a try."

Feixiao couldn't help but laugh.

"Give it a try?"

Huaiyan also smiled, a smile tinged with emotion.

"It's rare to see such a young person with this kind of mindset."

Jing Yuan looked at the old man, smiled, and then turned to look at Yao Guang.

"Therefore, I would like to ask General Yao Guang to calculate whether this child has truly received the Emperor's approval."

Marshal Hua looked at Yao Guang.

"Yao Guang, let's do a divination."

Yao Guang nodded.

"I understand what you all mean."
