"It is indeed this benefactor!" the monk said to Lanqin.

"Damn it! Why me of all people!" Lanqin stared at the monk in surprise, a smile on her face, but the corners of her mouth were curved upwards.

The Third Prince's wife stared at Lanqin, filled with deep regret; her eyes practically burned with hatred. The Eighth Prince's wife maintained a detached and aloof demeanor, but inwardly she was quite uncomfortable with Lanqin's good fortune. As for the Ninth Prince's wife, Lanqin couldn't discern her emotions; she always appeared calm and lifeless. It was truly a wonder that someone like Peach Blossom Ninth could marry such an indifferent wife!

"Um, can I give mine to her?" Lanqin felt that if she followed the monk out now, the Third Princess's eyes would surely shoot swords. Therefore, she decided to be magnanimous and give the opportunity to the Third Princess.

Upon hearing this, the Third Princess Consort glanced at Lanqin a few times, as if to say, "You're smart enough to know what's good for you." However, she showed no gratitude whatsoever; on the contrary, she felt Lanqin had stolen her opportunity. Some people are like that—they're born believing they're the best, and others should live according to their whims. Fortunately, Lanqin didn't expect the Third Princess Consort to be grateful or treat her any better, so she didn't take those glances to heart at all.

"No, opportunities cannot be changed. Benefactor, please come with me!" the monk said coldly.

The Third Princess Consort thought that since Lanqin had given up the opportunity, she could go and have Master Yichen look at her future destiny, but she never expected that she couldn't.

"Third Princess Consort, I have no choice but to go." Lanqin stood up and curtsied to the Third Princess Consort.

The Third Princess Consort could only watch helplessly as Lanqin and the monk disappeared from her sight.

Lanqin followed the monk to the meditation room of the so-called master who could see a person's future, but she was very skeptical. Who could see through someone else's future? The story of Yichen predicting that a wealthy businessman would die suddenly from an illness ten years later was probably just a fabricated scam to deceive the world.

"Benefactor, your grandmaster uncle is inside. Please go in yourself." The monk bowed to Lanqin and then turned to leave.

"Hey~" Lanqin tried to call out to the monk, but he walked straight away and ignored her.

Lanqin turned to look at the closed meditation room, a slight nervousness creeping into her heart. If this Yichen truly could see into people's futures, would he be able to tell that Lanqin had traveled from the future?

"Let's just leave and tell him he can't see anything!" Lanqin suddenly realized she didn't have to go in!

So, with a smile, she was about to turn around when suddenly the door was pushed open from the inside!

Oh no! It's too late!

"If you want your fortune told, why don't you come in!" A young monk appeared at the door, dressed in monk's robes. He was exceptionally handsome, with a refined and otherworldly air about him, and looked to be no more than thirty-five years old.

"Are you Master Yichen?" Lanqin asked in surprise.

"What? Doesn't look like it?" The monk looked at Lanqin's incredulous expression and said with some displeasure.

“I thought Yichen was an elder!” Lanqin originally wanted to say “old man”, but changed it to “elder” in the end.

"Who said Yichen is an old man? Does a highly accomplished monk have to be a white-bearded old man?" Yichen said rather impatiently. Clearly, Lanqin wasn't alone in mistaking him for an old man!

“Of course not! I didn’t know Master Yichen was so young!” Lanqin turned and smiled.

"Come in!" Yichen turned and walked in.

Lanqin naturally followed her inside; it wouldn't be good for her to leave on her own.

After she and Yichen sat down as host and guest, she saw that Yichen was staring at her intently!

Lanqin suddenly felt a little embarrassed. She couldn't help but feel uncomfortable with Yichen, such a young and handsome monk, staring at her!

"Where are you from?" Yichen asked.

"Ah!" Lanqin was surprised by his question and immediately felt as if he had seen through her.

"Madam looks very noble. May I ask which household you belong to?" Yichen asked, looking away from Lanqin.

"Oh, I am from the Fourth Prince's residence," Lanqin said truthfully. A noble temple like Huangjue Temple usually receives high-ranking officials and nobles, so she wouldn't be too surprised to hear this. She was just one of the Fourth Prince's concubines.

As expected, Yichen did not show much surprise on his face. He just glanced at Lanqin a few more times, raised his right hand, and pinched her a few times. Lanqin looked like a charlatan.

"The fortune of this benefactor is extremely precarious!" Yichen said, putting down his hand.

Lanqin assumed he meant "distinguished and noble," and thought to herself: "He really has no ability; he's just spouting nonsense. I just said I'm from the Fourth Prince's mansion, so of course I'm distinguished and noble!"

“If a person can overcome hardships, they will surely have an unparalleled destiny, perhaps even becoming the supreme ruler of the world!” Yichen said, looking into Lanqin’s eyes.

Lanqin had initially thought Yichen was just a charlatan, but after hearing him say those words, she was secretly startled: an unparalleled destiny, the supreme ruler of the world! Could it be that he truly foresaw that I would become the mother of Emperor Qianlong, the Imperial Noble Consort of the Fourth Prince!

"Thank you, Master! I have remembered. May I ask what dangers I may face?" Lanqin asked.

"Heavenly secrets cannot be revealed. All the hardships and dangers in this world are tests for people. As a servant of Buddha, I cannot reveal Buddha's arrangements," Yichen said earnestly.

Hearing this, Lanqin wanted to curse these monks for their trickery and their desire for more incense money, but she could only say, "Thank you for your guidance, Master. May I ask if you could also tell someone's fortune?"

Yichen shook his head and said, "This humble monk will no longer be able to see people. After seeing you today, I will be going out to travel the world. I hope you will be able to turn bad luck into good. The next time I see you, it may not be like today."

Lanqin, seeing that Yichen spoke in such a mysterious way, said, "Thank you for telling me, Master."

As soon as she came out of the meditation room, the door closed automatically, just like the way she had seen before when she met an immortal and received guidance, after which the immortal's door would automatically close.

When Lanqin returned to the guest room with her hair all smudged, she saw that the Third Princess and the others were still waiting there, naturally wanting to know what Yichen had said to Lanqin.

When Song and Geng saw Lanqin return, they immediately went to greet her.

"Consort Niu, what did Master Yichen say to you?" asked the Eighth Princess Consort. Although the Third Princess Consort wanted to know, she was unwilling to lower herself to ask Lanqin.

"Actually, there wasn't much to say. It was just that I should overcome the difficulties and obstacles, and that my future would definitely be bright," Lanqin said with a smile.
