"This is a chart where the main injury palace is the life palace. Your life will be smooth, but if you go astray or choose the wrong side, be careful not to ruin your reputation in your later years."
"You understand the theory of Destiny Palace?" Yi Anchen's expression suddenly changed. He raised his head and stared intently at Ye Xingchen.
With the Seven Killings and Greedy Wolf stars in his Life Palace and the Injury Palace representing his fate, his master said this forty years ago when he left the mountain gate: his life would be smooth, but his later years would be miserable because of the mistakes he made.
This fate is irreversible and there is no way to break it.
He was deeply shocked to hear these words coming from Ye Xingchen's mouth.
"I know a little bit." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, then turned his head and said, "Grandpa, why don't you stay in the village for a few more days? I still have some things to take care of."
"Okay, Su Jin is a good girl. She learns chess from me every day. I'll stay in the village for a few days and wait for you to come back," Xia Xueming said with a smile.
"I've already passed the message on to Uncle Zhou. Mother will be so happy she won't be able to sleep when she hears this," Ye Xingchen said.
“Alright, go and come back quickly so we can rush back to Yanjing and reunite as a family.” Xia Xueming nodded.
"Let's go." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly at Si Qianyu. He was going to the Three Thousand Tower to settle some grudges.
"Okay." Si Qianyu nodded slightly to Xia Xueming: "Goodbye, Professor Xia."
"We must go back to Yanjing with Xingchen." Xia Xueming laughed heartily.
"I definitely will." Si Qianyu blushed slightly and left with Ye Xingchen.
"Mr. Ye, please wait." Just then, Yi Anchen, who had been silent all along, spoke up.
He had changed his address to "sir," which showed his respect for Ye Xingchen.
"Is there anything else, Master Yi?" Ye Xingchen glanced back at him.
"Mr. Ye is a highly accomplished person, so please don't call me 'Master,' I don't deserve it." Yi Anchen looked somewhat embarrassed: "I would like to ask Mr. Ye for advice... what should I do if my destiny chart has the Seven Killings and Greedy Wolf stars in it?"
Yi Anchen was eager to know the answer, because he had enjoyed a great reputation throughout his life and did not want to tarnish his reputation in his later years and be scorned by the world.
“There is no solution to this situation.” Ye Xingchen shook his head: “Fate is predetermined, and since it is predetermined, no one can change it.”
"Is there really no solution?" Yi Anchen's expression was shaken. He murmured, "Throughout my life, I have been cautious and prudent, guarding the Imperial Observatory, and I have never formed any private connections or factions with others."
"But I'm already so old, do I have to be scorned by the world when I'm old?"
"Not exactly," Ye Xingchen said calmly. "Destiny cannot be changed, but no one can guarantee that there won't be variables within destiny."
"Variable?" Yi Anchen's pupils contracted slightly, revealing a glint of light.
“Yes, a variable. If Master Yi can grasp this variable, perhaps he can reverse the pattern of the Seven Killings and Greedy Wolf stars entering his destiny palace?” Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and took Si Qianyu’s hand as they left.
"Thank you for your guidance, Mr. Ye. I understand." Yi Anchen bowed deeply to Ye Xingchen's retreating figure.
Ye Xingchen led Si Qianyu towards Zuowang Peak, where the Three Thousand Towers were located.
In fact, the location of Sanqianlou is already deep in the mountains, and you can vaguely see the plains. There are also small towns and villages along the way.
Fang Shaogong was the son of Miao Yue, the master of the Three Thousand Towers. If this matter is not resolved properly, there will likely be endless trouble in the future.
Si Qianyu also felt that it was time for her and Sanqianlou to come to an end.
"Something on your mind?" Ye Xingchen asked, noticing Si Qianyu's silence the whole way.
“I don’t know how to go back to face my master,” Si Qianyu said. “She was the one who caused my separation from my mother, but over the years, she has treated me like her own daughter.”
"She even wanted to entrust the future of the Three Thousand Buildings to me, but now, I don't know how to face her."
"If I told you that she was just using you, would you believe me?" Ye Xingchen said calmly, "Do you know what the price is for becoming the master of the Three Thousand Towers?"
“Marry her son, Fang Shaogong.” Si Qianyu remained silent for a moment.
"The reason she chose you is because of your outstanding abilities, and you should know what kind of person Fang Shaogong is," Ye Xingchen said. "In his eyes, all women are just playthings in his hands."
"At that time, even if you are nominally the master of the Three Thousand Towers, in reality, you will be nothing more than a puppet in the hands of the mother and son."
Si Qianyu fell silent again. Those involved are often blinded by their own perspectives. Even though she knew that what Ye Xingchen said was true, she still couldn't let it go.
"Don't worry, I'm here with you. Things will definitely be resolved," Ye Xingchen said. "But you need to think carefully about how to deal with your master. What will you do if she takes her anger out on you because of her son's death?"
"I don't know." Si Qianyu sighed as she looked at the majestic green mountains before her, with Zuowang Peak, where the Three Thousand Towers were located, already clearly visible.
On the summit of Zuowang Peak, a pavilion stands tall, its elegant design reaching straight into the clouds.
This is the famous Sanqianlou Yanyu Pavilion. Inside the pavilion, a woman in her forties, still charming, had a violent expression. In front of her was a portrait of Fang Shaogong.
"Gong'er, now that the seventh day after my death has passed, you... won't come back to see me again, will you?" The woman's eyes were slightly red and filled with tears.
"I will definitely avenge you. Don't you like Si Qianyu? I will kill her and arrange a ghost marriage for you."
This woman is Miao Yue, the owner of the Three Thousand Towers. She has almost gone mad after losing her beloved son.
"Lord, all the assassins of the Three Thousand Towers have been recalled, and according to reports from the front lines, Si Qianyu and Ye Xingchen are already heading towards the Three Thousand Towers." An assassin hurriedly reported.
"She really dares to come back? Heh, fine, since she's back, it saves me the trouble of searching for her everywhere." Miao Yue slammed her hand on the table: "Gather everyone, we must cut off these two people's heads today."
Ye Xingchen and Si Qianyu had arrived at the foot of Zuowang Peak. There was a small town there. Looking at the road leading to the Three Thousand Towers, Si Qianyu hesitated again.
"Come on, I'll go with you," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
“No, I can go alone. You wait for me here.” Si Qianyu lowered her head and thought for a moment, then resolutely raised her head: “I will face my own problems.”
"Alright, remember, you must not be soft-hearted when you shouldn't be." Ye Xingchen said with a smile, "I'll wait for you here. After I've settled your matter, we'll go back to Yanjing together."
Si Qianyu nodded, hugged Ye Xingchen, and then turned and walked towards the Three Thousand Towers.
Ye Xingchen found a stall in town and sat down. The stall sold local snacks and was quite famous. He ordered a bowl of what looked like wontons and started eating.
