The next morning, Mu Hanyan and his group followed the crowd into the capital.

Anyun Capital, built on the hillside, is majestic and imposing, like an ancient giant overlooking the vast fertile land.

In the early morning, the city is shrouded in clouds and mist, and the entire capital seems to be on top of the clouds. Therefore, this historic capital is also called Yunjing City.

The city is bustling with people and merchants. Its prosperity is not comparable to that of ordinary county towns, let alone small towns like Black Stone City.

Mu Hanyan had already asked her mother about the location of the Mu family's ancestral home. She wanted to rush back to the ancestral home as soon as possible, but there were too many pedestrians on the road and the carriage could not go faster. Mu Hanyan simply jumped off the carriage and walked to the ancestral home while looking at the customs and people of the capital.

"Alas, the Zhang family still refuses to give up. They have asked several masters to look at the case, but all of them gave the same result. They should have accepted their fate, yet they actually came to Master Ji again." A passerby shook his head and sighed.

"The Zhang family has had only one son for three generations, and this one grandson, yet he was judged by those astrologers to be a natural loser with no talent for cultivation at all. If Master Ji says the same thing this time, the whole family will probably be driven out of the capital as soon as old Patriarch Zhang dies. How could old Patriarch Zhang accept such a result for the sake of his descendants?" another passerby said with emotion.

Mu Hanyan paused slightly and looked in the direction of the sound. Not far ahead was a shop with a golden sign that read "Yunjing Divine Calculation". The shop was not large, but in the capital, where every inch of land is valuable, it was worth a lot of money.

The shop is decorated in an antique style and displays various astrological compasses, adding a sense of mystery and solemnity.

An old man with flowing white beard, resembling a Taoist immortal, stroked his beard with one hand, closed his eyes, and concentrated, one hand stroking his beard, the other making finger gestures, as if calculating something. Perhaps this was the Master Ji that passersby were talking about.

In front of him, a young couple was holding a baby, looking anxious and uneasy.

After a moment, Master Ji opened his eyes.

"Master Ji, what's going on? My child actually has the qualifications to practice cultivation, right?" the young woman holding the baby asked anxiously.

"Alas!" Master Ji sighed, his face full of sympathy.

"Master Ji..." The young man looked at Master Ji, his voice trembling slightly.

"It's better to give up. This child really doesn't have any talent for cultivation. Even if you find more astrologers to look at him, the result will be the same." Master Ji said lightly.

The young woman burst into tears upon hearing this, her legs went weak and she fell to the ground, but her hands were still tightly holding the child.

The young man quickly supported her, his expression full of sadness.

"As expected, this is the result. The Zhang family is finished."

"What a pity! Patriarch Zhang was a man of his time. He single-handedly transformed a declining family into a powerful one in Beijing, second only to the Eight Great Aristocratic Families. But he never expected his son and daughter-in-law to be so disappointing and give birth to such a grandson. The family fortune will eventually fall into the hands of a collateral branch, and his own flesh and blood may not even have a place to stay."

Someone in the crowd sighed and said, but it sounded so harsh, it was clearly gloating.

Mu Hanyan felt inexplicably depressed. Although she didn't remember anything from her childhood, she knew that such a situation must have happened to her parents.

Although my parents took me far away from home, it was actually my grandfather who had other arrangements. However, others who did not know the inside story would definitely ridicule my parents.

Mu Hanyan didn’t feel this before, until she saw this scene with her own eyes, and then she realized more deeply the grievances her parents had suffered over the years.

"It's impossible. My husband and I are both not too bad in cultivation. How could it be possible that my child has no talent at all? Master Ji, could you please help me with the divination again?" The young woman pleaded with tears on her face.

"No need. I, Ji Gaoxian, can calculate the heavens, the earth, and the universe. I can predict life and death and good and bad luck. When do I need to calculate it a second time?" Master Ji refused without hesitation.

"Master Ji, please help me with the divination one more time." The young woman looked at her child lovingly and knelt down to Ji Gaoxian.

"I said there's no need. If you don't trust me, go find someone else to calculate. But I tell you, even if you travel all over the capital, you'll get the same result." Ji Gaoxian raised his head and said coldly and arrogantly.

"Just help her calculate it again. There's no loss. What if you accidentally make a mistake, you'll hurt others." Mu Hanyan couldn't help but speak.

Born useless… If you didn't experience it firsthand, you wouldn't know what these four words meant to a child. Her family had been "exiled" to Black Stone City under her grandfather's deliberate arrangement, and because of this, she had been ridiculed since childhood.

Seeing Ji Gaoxian's cold eyes, Mu Hanyan felt a little angry. Didn't he know that because of his words, the life of this child who was only a few months old would be ruined, and even the whole family of three would be completely destroyed.

"It's easy for you to say that. If you have the ability, come and try it. Do you think the art of astrology is so simple that you can just give it a try?" Ji Gaoxian glared at Mu Hanyan unhappily and said with contempt.

Mu Hanyan was choked. She really wanted to help this family of three. She had thought about learning astrology yesterday, but she hadn't started yet. Qu Shanling was stranded in Fangjia Village because of the Jianxin Soul Cleansing Pool and the Hanxiao Sword. She wanted to help them but was unable to do so.

"You're so young and you're just talking nonsense. Do you think practicing astrology is that easy? How dare you point fingers at Master Ji?"

"I don't know where this country bumpkin came from. He's so worldly-wise that he can say such things."

"Maybe he thinks that the fortune tellers in our capital are the same as the charlatans in their country, who can predict what will happen 500 years in the past and 500 years in the future by just doing some magic. Hahahaha." The onlookers saw that Mu Hanyan and the others were not dressed like people from the capital, and they all made sarcastic remarks.

This cannot be blamed on them. Most of the astrologers who dare to make a living in the capital are quite capable. They are definitely not comparable to those charlatans who are selling dog meat under the guise of sheep meat. Therefore, their status is extremely high. From the royal family to the common people, everyone respects them. Seeing that Mu Hanyan, a foreigner, dared to point fingers at the fortune tellers in the capital and even questioned the judgment of others, isn't this equivalent to humiliating their IQ? Naturally, they felt a sense of solidarity with the enemy.

Mu Hanyan hadn't expected that her good intentions would lead to such widespread condemnation. Fearing she would be drowned in their spit, she prepared to flee. At that moment, Xinghuan Qianji's voice echoed in her mind again: "Qi travels through the Northern Dipper, force gathers in the Southern Dipper, the stars of heaven surge into the spirit, and the heart is in harmony with the origin..."
