destiny eternal calamity

Li Wei met Princess Yuzhen, Long Bilin, again.

Just like last time, she was still wearing a white veil.

"Good day, Your Highness." Li Wei bowed with his hands clasped.

"Speak, what brings you here?" Long Bilin was reading a book and didn't even look up.

Long Xiaoxiao, who was nestled beside her, was carefully examining Li Wei.

"I would like to ask Your Highness to invest in a business..." Li Wei explained his idea in detail.

Much later.

"That is indeed a good idea. I will have Lan Yu handle this matter with you."

"However, in this Hundred Flowers Ranking you mentioned, I must be number one."

This woman is so confident... but she is indeed the most beautiful woman Li Wei has ever seen in his two lifetimes.

Of course, this is on the premise that the half of her face under the veil is also perfect.

"I've never liked going out since I was a child, so I don't know any of those legendary beauties. Even Lin Peiyao, the last time I saw her was eight years ago, when she was just a little girl."

"Your Highness is indeed the most beautiful woman I have ever seen."

"You seem a little skeptical, but you'll see later that even after you've seen all those beauties, you'll still think I'm the most beautiful."

Li Wei's words actually had a probing meaning.

Now he was certain that Princess Yuzhen did indeed have a strange fondness for him.

She doesn't even get angry when I'm being so disrespectful.

You know, women can be quite possessive.

So, he really is special.

So, what exactly makes him so special?

All he could think of was that he possessed memories of his past life and the system.

But Long Bilin couldn't possibly know these things.

If he can't figure it out, he shouldn't think about it. He can't leave the protection of the princess's mansion now anyway.

Isn't it a good thing that your boss has a crush on you?

As for whether there's any ulterior motive...

What could Princess Yuzhen possibly want from a down-on-his-luck young master like herself?

It can't be for her own sake, can it?

As for why Princess Yuzhen insisted on being number one, it wasn't entirely out of vanity.

She wants to be an empress, and if she has popular support, her future path will be much easier.

Li Wei only explained the operating model of the "Da Li Weekly" to her, and she keenly sensed its influence.

If she could obtain the title of the most beautiful woman in the world, she would definitely gain countless die-hard fans.

This will have immeasurable benefits for her future ascension to the throne.

This Li Wei is just as the prophecy foretold.

He is her destined son.

There really are some unfathomable secret arts in this world that can even reveal cause and effect!

She lied to Li Wei that day.

She investigated Li Wei not because he was Lin Peiyao's fiancé.

It was only because her mother, Consort Wang, had once obtained a prophecy for her at the Wang family's ancestral home.

[At twenty-eight, the phoenix, with its hidden ambition, refused to dwell in the mundane forest. Li Wei knocked on the imperial palace, and the sun and moon ushered in a new era.]

Because of this prophecy, she secretly investigated everyone in the capital named Li Wei.

But there are just too many people named Li Wei, so it's impossible to know who the real one is.

She dared not test the waters, lest she break the prophecy.

She knew that the Wang family's methods were very effective, because that was how Consort Wang was sent into the palace, and she indeed became the most favored concubine.

It's a pity that Consort Wang didn't give birth to a son, otherwise she would have been deposed and replaced long ago.

Ever since she received this prophecy, she has regarded "Li Wei" as her future husband.

So she rejected all marriage proposals and stopped seeing other men casually, all in order to wait for "Li Wei".

She initially thought that the Li Wei in front of her wouldn't be that person, because he already had a fiancée.

It was Lin Peiyao, the most beautiful woman in the capital.

Logically speaking, they shouldn't have any interaction with me.

But I never expected that fate would be so unpredictable.

He suddenly took the initiative to contact me.

When Long Bilin received the policy essay from Lan Yu that day, she almost lost her composure upon hearing Li Wei's name.

Otherwise, no matter how well Li Wei wrote that policy essay, he would never have met Princess Yuzhen.

Of course, she wouldn't tell Li Wei any of this.

Because she knew that some people did not believe in fate, and even wanted to rebel against it.

Revealing secrets might undermine the prophecy.

Currently, both the previous policy discussion and this "Da Li Weekly" have proven the value of this chosen one.

He was indeed the one I had been waiting for.

I just want to take our relationship to the next level, but I don't know how to do it in a more reasonable and natural way.

When Li Wei went to Mingyue Tower to discuss the details of the "Da Li Weekly" with Lan Yu, Aunt Ying appeared in front of Long Bilin.

"Aunt Ying, Xiaoxiao misses you so much!" Long Xiaoxiao immediately let go of her older sister and rushed towards Aunt Ying.

Aunt Ying caught Long Xiaoxiao and pulled her into her arms with a helpless expression.

"You're so old, yet you still act like a child..."

"Your Highness, there is something I must report. Young Master Li's martial arts talent is nothing short of monstrous!"

Aunt Ying told Long Bilin about the process of Li Wei practicing martial arts that she had witnessed.

To her surprise, she wasn't surprised at all.

He is undoubtedly a prodigy; otherwise, why would he be the person foretold in the prophecy?

No one knows what Long Bilin is thinking; she simply tells Aunt Ying to continue to diligently protect Li Wei, the promising young man in the princess's household.

Aunt Ying had already developed a fondness for talent, so of course she wouldn't refuse.

Before long, Li Wei and Lan Yu finalized the details.

In addition to the martial arts news gathered by their princess's residence, this first issue of the "Da Li Weekly" will also publish the "Hundred Flowers List" and the "Hidden Dragon List".

The selection scope is not limited to Dali, but also includes beauties and talented young men from Dawei.

Because what Long Bilin wanted was not just Dali, but the entire world.

Therefore, she wanted the "Da Li Weekly" to not only be popular in Da Li, but also to extend its influence to Da Wei.

Is this also a form of cultural invasion and control of discourse?

Having settled this matter, Li Wei returned to the Li residence.

There are still two guests at home that need to be entertained.

That evening, the Li family hosted a banquet.

Because Li Anguo just passed away and was buried yesterday, the banquet shouldn't be too lavish.

These two disciples of the Kunlun School showed no sign of displeasure, displaying the demeanor befitting disciples of a major sect.

"Have you two come to the capital to gain experience after leaving the mountains?"

"That's right. My senior brother came out of seclusion not only to break through the martial arts path, but also to uphold justice," Du Qianqian said solemnly.

She then recounted the experiences she and her fellow disciple had encountered in the martial arts world along the way.

There are hardships of living in the open and slaying demons, as well as human nature and cunning schemes.

Overall, it was a wonderful trip.

Moreover, it's clear that she loves her senior brother, Zuo Fenghan, very much.

Whenever she talks about her senior, her words always become sweeter and more vivid.

Unfortunately, Zuo Fenghan seemed to be a staunchly straight man, and he didn't feel even the slightest emotional fluctuation as he listened to his junior sister talk about these precious memories between the two of them.

At the dinner party, he just ate and drank in silence, occasionally echoing his junior sister's words, "Senior brother, don't you think so?"

After the meal, everyone went back to rest.

Li Wei temporarily added points to the "Six Harmonies Blade" skill today, but that didn't stop him from continuing to add points to shock Aunt Ying.

[Ding! 720 recharge points (10% discount) have been deducted, allowing you to progress from Lesser Mastery to Greater Mastery of the second-tier skill, 'Five-Step Plum Blossom Stakes'!]

After mastering the technique, Li Wei's inner energy surged through his Yinqiao meridian.

With the addition of the "Six Harmonies Knife" technique that opened up the Shaoyang Sanjiao Meridian during the day, Li Wei has now opened up seven meridians and four channels.

After the shocking moment ended, Li Wei was about to take a shower and rest.

"Li Wei, the acupuncture treatment to rebuild our foundation, which I mentioned before, is ready. Let's begin today."

Aunt Ying appeared and said.
