"Imperial Advisor, you..."
The Imperial Advisor slightly raised his eyes, remaining calm: "No need to be surprised. Everyone has their own destiny and mission, including the Deputy Minister of Agriculture."
This person indeed knew some things that she didn't know. Just as Su Luo was about to ask more questions, he looked at Nangong Chiyu.
"Prince Yu, it's your turn."
Nangong Chiyu understood what the Imperial Advisor meant when he spoke to Nangong Qing, but he couldn't guess what the two sentences he said to Su Luo meant.
"Imperial Advisor, I was seriously injured and have forgotten many things. Now that I have a clue, I don't know what to do."
The Imperial Advisor counted on his fingers, lost in thought for a moment, before speaking.
"The answer to Prince Yu's question lies right beside him."
After the Grand Preceptor finished speaking, Nangong Chiyu turned his head and saw Su Luo beside him. Was she his answer?
"Alright, now that I have cleared up your doubts, please return."
Su Luo and Nangong Chiyu both stood up, but Nangong Qing remained seated, not even bringing his favorite fan.
"Imperial Preceptor, you haven't told me your problem yet. How do you plan to solve it? Just tell me how to avoid marrying this Northern Liang princess?"
The Imperial Advisor remained neither arrogant nor humble, neither pleased nor angry.
"I have explained it. As long as the Third Prince calms down, he will be able to understand it."
Nangong Qing genuinely didn't understand the Imperial Advisor's meaning; he wanted Nangong Qing to help persuade his father to find someone else to marry the Northern Liang princess.
Why did the Imperial Advisor say to let things take their natural course, and whether or not we are destined to be together, we will only know when the time comes?
Is he really out of options?
"Someone, show them out!"
The three left the Imperial Preceptor's residence and walked in silence, each lost in their own thoughts.
Halfway there, Su Luo suddenly turned back, leaving Nangong Chiyu and Nangong Qing behind, and ran back to the Imperial Preceptor's Mansion.
She needed to figure out whether this imperial advisor was a friend or foe.
The moment she entered, the little eunuch guarding the door smiled slightly, as if he already knew Su Luo would return, and did not try to stop her.
Returning to their previous seats, the Imperial Advisor remained motionless, maintaining the same posture he had adopted when he first met them.
The teacups that were originally given to them had been taken away, and only one cushion remained. A new cup of tea had been placed on the table.
Did this imperial advisor even know she would be returning? Su Luo dared not underestimate her opponent again.
"You still came back."
Su Luo sat down in front of him again, her eyes never leaving his face for a moment.
"Who exactly are you, and what else do you know?"
The Imperial Advisor had a pair of amber eyes. He sat opposite her, quietly watching her, as if he knew what she was thinking.
"I just know a little more than the world does."
Su Luo was on high alert, her hands clenched into fists inside her sleeves, ready to shut the person opposite her up at any moment.
The Imperial Advisor smiled disdainfully and said, "My master passed away many years ago, but he said that he had taken in a female disciple by fate. Junior sister, Nanning has finally waited for you."
Su Luo's clenched hand suddenly loosened. What exactly did the Imperial Advisor mean by that?
"You know me?"
Su Luo asked vaguely, hoping the Imperial Advisor would know she came from another world.
"I know, this body was originally yours; you've just come back."
Now Su Luo had no choice but to believe it. If he knew even such a secret matter, what else could he not know?
"Alright, since you say I'm your junior sister, are you on my side?"
The Imperial Advisor knows too many of her secrets; if you stand against her, she will be in great danger.
"My master told me to take good care of you, so I will naturally keep your secret."
"Okay! I'll believe you for now."
The Imperial Advisor still smiled faintly with his head down. He had been searching for this junior sister for a long time. No one could match his divination skills, but the only one he couldn't figure out was Su Luo.
His master told him that he should assist the king of Nanning Kingdom, and that his junior sister would appear in ten years, who would be a lucky star who could bring blessings to the world.
Three years ago, he foresaw that a lucky star was about to arrive, and instructed the Third Prince to wait in the approximate location.
Despite the many twists and turns, Su Luo was eventually brought back to the court. From now on, the people of Nanning, and indeed all the people of the world, will have a better and better life thanks to her protection.
"Since the Imperial Advisor can predict everything, why doesn't he tell Nangong Qing about his relationship with the Northern Liang princess, the future of Nanning, how to destroy Northern Liang, and who will be the future ruler of Nanning?"
Su Luo asked all the questions she wanted to ask. If the Imperial Advisor really had the ability to see the future, how terrifying would that be?
"Junior sister thinks too highly of me. I am just a Taoist priest who can perform divination. Everyone has their own mission in the grand scheme of national destiny. Changing someone else's mission is against the way of heaven and will be punished."
All I can do is guide things in the right direction; remain calm, wait, and do nothing else.
It means there's nothing he can do; even if he knows roughly what will happen, he can only wait and see the outcome.
"Then what do you think will happen between Nangong Qing and the Northern Liang princess?" Su Luo asked, partly to help her friend.
"The arising and ceasing of conditions!"
The answer she received was the same one: Su Luo asked him one last question.
"If that's the case, then what about me? What will become of me in the future?"
Su Luo's worry is that one day she might be separated from this body and return to the apocalypse, where this place has become just a dream.
After a long silence, the Imperial Advisor finally spoke: "I cannot fathom your destiny, but those connected to you are living happily, with harmonious marriages. Therefore, my junior sister will surely have a happy and fulfilling life together in the future."
Aside from Yi Huan in the capital, there was no one else connected to him. Even the Imperial Advisor had never met Yi Huan, so how could he know about anyone connected to her?
And how did people related to her come to see that her life was fulfilling and that she had a harmonious marriage, implying that she would get married again?
Moreover, the person he is marrying is someone the Imperial Advisor has met, and this person is even in the capital.
She doesn't have anyone she likes, so how could she possibly get married? She won't find a stepfather for Yi Huan and Yan Chuan.
Although Su Luo didn't know whether the Grand Preceptor's words were true or false, it seemed that this person posed no threat to her at the moment.
After bidding farewell to the Imperial Advisor, the person behind her stood up and gave her some instructions.
"Junior sister, I still stand by what I said: 'A common man is innocent, but he is guilty of possessing a treasure.' This country is waiting for you to protect it, and you must also protect your secret."
He couldn't fathom Su Luo's destiny, but he could figure out that Su Luo had a secret base. Although he couldn't tell what it was, Su Luo and her master must know about it.
He promised his master he would protect this lucky star, and he will definitely keep his promise.
"Alright! I won't let anyone discover this secret unless my life is in danger."
Su Luo could also tell that the Imperial Advisor was referring to her space.
He was able to sit in the palace with such high prestige, which showed he had real ability. He could even calculate that she had a spatial ability, so Su Luo wasn't surprised at all.
Space is something everyone desires; it serves not only for storage but also for time travel, for growing things, and it's portable.
In times of danger, it serves as a refuge, and it can incite greed more readily than money.
