"Hmm." Fang Xiu gave a soft "hmm" without refusing, because he was too lazy to refuse. As long as it didn't affect his fortune telling, he didn't mind if a few more people came.
However, Yun Yun was fine with Fang Xiu's indifference, as she was already used to it. But General Qin wore his displeasure on his face. How could a dignified Immortal Venerable come to protect a mere True Immortal like you, and still have this kind of attitude?
Born into a prominent family, he had always been a favored son of heaven since childhood. When had he ever been so contemptuous?
"Hmph, it seems Inspector Zhou is confident in his superior abilities and doesn't need my protection," General Qin sneered.
With the backing of the Qin family, one of the four great families, and possessing the cultivation of an Immortal Venerable at a young age, becoming an Immortal Emperor in the future would not be difficult for him. With such talent and background, there is no one in the entire Liuyun Immortal Dynasty, except for the royal family, that he dares not offend.
He was already dissatisfied with this assignment. Given his status, he shouldn't have been assigned to be a royal guard, but the Qin family insisted on sending him to protect Yun Yun. Perhaps this was because they were hoping to develop feelings for each other. Now, Yun Yun had sent him to protect another man, so how could he possibly be willing?
Yun Yun frowned: "General Qin, you must not be rude. Inspector Zhou is a key figure in the operation of the Demon Suppression Division. His divination skills are unparalleled. You must do your best to protect him this time and there must be no mistakes."
General Qin suppressed his displeasure and reluctantly cupped his hands in greeting: "Yes."
After giving General Qin a warning, Yun Yun saw that Fang Xiu had no intention of chatting with her, so she wisely left.
Upon seeing Yun Yun leave, General Qin made no attempt to conceal his disdain for Fang Xiu. He snorted coldly and led his men away from the main hall to stand guard outside.
Although he disliked Fang Xiu, he had no choice but to obey Yun Yun's orders.

........
The next day, Fang Xiu consulted fortune tellers as usual. Recently, more and more people have been arrested by the Demon Suppression Division, and the entire Liuyun Immortal Dynasty is in a state of panic, fearing that one day they will be assessed as high-risk and taken away.
Moreover, Fang Xiu discovered many interesting things, namely that among the high-risk people, there were occasionally some people from various princes, and even some people from the crown prince.
He saw all of this through fortune telling. Clearly, Yun Yun is a ruthless person who has been using this incident of going into a state of demonic possession to secretly eliminate dissidents.
Even if he calculated that the other princes were not at risk of going mad, the final result announced to the public would be completely different, and they would be taken away and secretly executed.
Today, Fang Xiu encountered another cultivator belonging to the prince's camp. This person was named Zhao Pan, a true immortal who secretly served the crown prince. Strictly speaking, Zhao Pan was serving the crown prince's underling, and he himself had never even seen the crown prince's face.
However, Zhao Pan was indeed a member of the Crown Prince's faction. After all, not all members of the so-called Crown Prince's faction were high-ranking officials. They needed people to do things under their command. Moreover, the Crown Prince had a vast influence and could not possibly meet everyone.
At this moment, Zhao Pan stared nervously at Zhou Qingfeng, who was known as the Living Yama, and involuntarily swallowed. Although he knew that Zhou Qingfeng was a True Immortal like himself and that the other party was studying the art of celestial secrets and was far inferior to him in terms of strength, he was still nervous.
The reason is that the name of the Living Yama is so famous that everyone in the entire Liuyun Immortal Dynasty knows him. Here, you may not know the emperor's name, but you will definitely know the name of Zhou Qingfeng.
As the saying goes, "If the King of Hell wants you to die at midnight, who dares to keep you alive until dawn?" This perfectly describes Zhou Qingfeng.
Zhou Qingfeng's daily work is truly like that of the King of Hell, judging each person one by one and telling them whether they live or die, with unbelievable accuracy. Someone once calculated that no one who was named to die by the living King of Hell has ever survived! It's as if his words are law, and whoever he says dies dies!
Given such a fearsome reputation, even a celestial being would tremble with fear if he came here to tell fortunes, let alone Zhao Pan.
Zhao Pan stared at Fang Xiu without blinking. Fang Xiu had just finished his calculations, and now he was just waiting for the verdict.
Suddenly, Fang Xiu spoke up: "You are destined for bloodshed."
Zhao Pan was struck dumb, his face instantly turning deathly pale: "No...impossible! You must have miscalculated!"
Fang Xiu ignored him; he had seen this kind of situation far too often. He calmly said, "One month later, he will suffer a qi deviation. Next one."
Those calm words were like a decree from the King of Hell, and then the guards from the Surveillance Hall walked towards Zhao Pan, preparing to take him away.
Throughout the year, many people refused to accept the reality of their impending death and caused disturbances in the Surveillance Hall. Therefore, the guards would subdue such people as soon as possible. People like Zhao Pan, who were destined to become demonic a month later, were often imprisoned in the Heavenly Prison due to the short timeframe and the fear of their escape. They would then wait until the person became demonic a month later before being executed.
Only in this way can the losses be minimized; otherwise, if a demon were to run rampant within the territory, who knows how much trouble it would cause.
"No, no, no! Don't come any closer! I could never have suffered a qi deviation. I cultivate a superior technique bestowed by the royal family, and my talent is not bad either. I have never used pills to break through my cultivation level. How could I possibly suffer a qi deviation? He must have miscalculated!"
The guards of the Surveillance Hall remained expressionless, long accustomed to such scenes. They had once thought that their master might have miscalculated, since the probability of going into demonic possession was far too high. However, after imprisoning several cultivators and witnessing them fall into demonic possession at the time their master had predicted, they no longer had any doubts.
"My master is the greatest fortune teller in the world, how could he possibly be wrong? Take him away immediately!" the guard captain shouted.
During this period, the title of "Number One Divine Calculator in the World" did indeed circulate among the people of Liuyun Immortal Dynasty. This was mainly due to Yun Yun's efforts to create momentum and elevate Fang Xiu's reputation, which would be more conducive to the development of the Demon Suppression Division.
Zhao Pan's expression changed drastically, then he suddenly realized something: "I know! You must know that I am His Highness the Crown Prince's man, so you deliberately said that I was going to become a demon. You are clearly eliminating dissidents!"
Fang Xiu ignored it. He had heard such claims many times. There were even many conspiracy theories circulating in the streets, saying that his fortune-telling was completely fake, and that the Demon Suppression Division was eliminating dissidents by arresting those who opposed him, deliberately declaring them at risk of becoming demons, forcibly infusing them with demonic energy, and then executing them.
As for the evidence... the evidence is that his calculations were too accurate. There could not possibly be a diviner in the world who could calculate so precisely, so there must be a conspiracy, it must be man-made!
This is normal; people are always willing to make the most malicious guesses about things they can't understand.
Just like in the modern world, some people believe that disposable masks contain 5G antennas.
