With Qi Chengshuo's current strength, unless the Demon Emperor himself comes, even if several Demon Kings come, they will not be able to stop him.
As for spiritual practice?
They've made rapid progress and don't need any guidance at all.
He just wants to stay and not leave!
"My grandfather and mother think my safety is the most important thing, so they specifically told me not to rush to move back. I can just go back and have lunch with them every day!" Qi Chengshuo said with a smile.
He wanted Ye Xianya to know that he wasn't the kind of person who would abandon his family, and that he still went back to spend time with his grandfather and mother every day.
However, his family was worried about him, and he was particularly "obedient," so the elders asked him to stay here for a few more days. As a junior, he naturally had to obey.
"You're not going to get involved in the affairs of the Divine Vanguard anymore?" Ye Xianya asked.
"There's not much going on in the barracks. I got Pei Junqi from the Jinwu Guard and even asked Uncle Jiu to make him the deputy commander of the Shenfeng Guard. He was promoted three ranks in one go, and he's overjoyed. Lately, Pei Junqi has been enjoying training troops in the barracks. He and the other deputy commander are in charge of internal affairs and external affairs, respectively. I've been quite relaxed lately." Qi Chengshuo even considered resigning from his position as commander of the Shenfeng Guard.
All he wants to do now is improve his strength so he can protect Ye Xianya.
Unfortunately, Qi Jiu did not agree.
Considering that Uncle Jiu had only been on the throne for less than a year and indeed needed his help as one of his own, Qi Chengshuo did not insist.
"Then you can ask the Grand Elder for advice at your leisure. I'm going to the small courtyard by the side gate to tell fortunes for someone." Ye Xianya finished speaking and was about to go over when she heard Qi Chengshuo's voice again.
"Xianya, may I come over to watch you tell fortunes?"
"As long as you don't find it boring, it's up to you!" Ye Xianya did not refuse.
When she had her fortune told a few days ago, the Grand Elder and the others also went to learn for several days. As a result... using the same esoteric arts to deduce, Ye Xianya's predictions were much more accurate than theirs.
After studying for a while without making any progress, the elders stopped going.
If Qi Chengshuo wants to go, Ye Xianya won't refuse.
However, one thing is certain—even if he follows me around every day, he still won't be able to learn it.
Her calculations were so accurate not because she worked so hard, but because she was highly talented.
Ye Xianya hadn't come to tell fortunes for more than ten days, but recently many people have been coming to ask her every day.
Everyone was overjoyed to hear of her return today. A large crowd had gathered outside the side gate, all waiting to have their fortunes told.
Following Ye Xianya's instructions, Furong distributed more number plates than usual.
"Princess, I haven't been able to eat or sleep lately. I feel a bit disoriented, like someone is talking in my ear. When I get up at night, I always see dark shadows outside the window. Have I attracted some unclean spirits?" the old man said fearfully.
For the past ten days or so, he has felt weak all over, couldn't do anything right, had low spirits, and felt somewhat dazed. Could it be that he has encountered a ghost?
The old man looked forward to Ye Xianya's return every day.
In recent days, he has been sending his son here to try his luck.
We've finally got them back!
"You're sick, sir. I'll prescribe a medicine for you. Go to the pharmacy to get it, and drink it for seven days, and you'll be cured!"
"Thank you, Princess." The old man was overjoyed. As long as he hadn't encountered any ghosts, he was fine. He was timid by nature, and even in his old age, he still wanted to stay indoors as soon as it got dark.
If I really encountered a ghost, I'd probably be scared to death!
“Princess, why don’t you do another divination for this old man?” The old man had already stood up, but he was still a little worried: “Is it true that this old man did not encounter a ghost? A few days ago… about seven days ago, it was almost dark when this old man went out to the market and bought some malt sugar.”
He was very timid and almost never dared to go out after dark, but on that particular day, all three of his sons came home late because they were busy.
He had a sweet tooth and wanted something sweet, but he didn't want to ask his daughters-in-law to buy it, so he mustered up his courage and went out.
“You didn’t encounter anything unclean the day you went to buy candy, and besides… it wasn’t even dark when you went out,” Ye Xianya couldn’t help but laugh.
"It's not dark yet. I'm old and my eyesight isn't very good. Thank you, Princess!" The old man was completely relieved.
He actually wanted to give Ye Xianya some more copper coins so she could draw him a talisman.
However, everyone knows that the princess's fortune-telling is the most accurate. If the princess said that he did not encounter a ghost, then he definitely did not. He should save the copper coins from the painting to buy medicine.
Soon it was the next person's turn to have their fortune told.
A young woman arrived, holding an infant who appeared to be less than a year old.
Judging from her clothes, she's a little girl.
Although the woman's clothes were not particularly bright or beautiful, they were clean and tidy, clearly indicating that she came from an ordinary family in the capital.
Recently, this style of dress has become popular among women in Beijing, featuring a wide waistband.
The ladies and young women of wealthy families would certainly wear the finest fabrics, embroidered with their favorite patterns.
This is how ordinary women dress.
What made Ye Xianya feel somewhat uncomfortable was that the little girl in the woman's arms was wearing clothes that were obviously ill-fitting, not only somewhat worn but also dirty, with some small wounds on her face, whether from scratches or bumps.
Ye Xianya took a look and realized that the child's fingernails were quite long. The adults hadn't trimmed them for her, so she must have injured her face herself.
Besides that, the child's hair was quite dirty and looked sticky.
It is clear that the woman did not care about the child.
Is it because she's a daughter?
"Please, Your Highness, help me see if my daughter is a ghost child, or a reincarnation of an evil spirit," the woman said in a trembling voice.
"Why do you ask that, madam? Your daughter looks so well-behaved and adorable, how could she be a ghost child? Besides... real evil spirits can't be reincarnated; they have to suffer endless torment in hell, never to be reborn!" Ye Xianya frowned deeply.
Could it be that this woman doesn't like her daughter and is using this as an excuse?
"But...but she ate her own brother! She cannibals!" the woman exclaimed, uttering a shocking statement.
Upon hearing this, the people sitting inside waiting for their fortunes to be told immediately began to whisper among themselves.
"A child this young eating people must be a monster..."
"If not a monster, then a demon..."
"Nonsense! This little girl doesn't even look a year old. She's not possessed by a ghost, nor is she being harassed by an evil spirit. She's just a perfectly normal little girl. How could she possibly eat people? Don't try to scare us!" Ye Xianya immediately became displeased.
She had just calculated with her fingers and confirmed that the woman in front of her was indeed the little girl's biological mother.
How could a mother say such things to her own child?
This baby is so small, still breastfeeding.
Besides milk, they only eat soft, well-cooked food. How could they possibly eat people?
This is utter nonsense!
