A multitude of thoughts flashed through Shen Qian's mind in an instant, and then he couldn't help but blurt out, "Could this Tianji Ke be someone with a close relationship with the Ninth Prince?"
But Shen Qian quickly rejected the idea himself.
The reason is simple.
Wu Wei, the head of the Chinese martial arts department, who is currently nominally the number one person in China and is respected by everyone despite not having a title, has remained completely silent.
This is completely illogical.
Even if he is a descendant of the Ninth Prince, would Wu Wei have any fear of him?
To be honest, it's said that Wu Wei has a direct blood relationship with one of the nine princes.
Shen Qian remembered watching a very old but classic TV series. There was a line in it that said, "After eliminating all possibilities, no matter how absurd the remaining answer may be, it is still the truth."
He was startled and terrified as he sank in.
"Who among the Nine Kings is this Heavenly Mystery Guest?"
When Shen Qian realized that Luo Shenbo's brow twitched noticeably when he asked the question, he couldn't help but feel a chill, because it meant that he was very likely right.
If this clairvoyant is truly an incarnation of one of the Nine Kings, then everything seems to make sense.
But who could it be?
The only ones still active in the outside world are King Zhouyi and King Zhenbei. Could it be one of these two?
But Shen Qian still didn't understand why they had to create another identity.
After a long silence, Luo Shenbo finally spoke: "You guessed all of this yourself. I didn't say anything."
Shen Qian frowned, but couldn't help asking, "But...why? Uh, although I don't know why you can't say many things directly, you can say something else. I trust my understanding."
"Say something else?" Luo Shenbo was taken aback.
"Something like a metaphor or something..."
Actually, by this point, Chen Qian had already somewhat recovered.
Considering Luo Shenbo's previous statements, if Luo Shenbo was hesitating about something, it was most likely something unseen and intangible yet real cause and effect.
Perhaps she was unwilling to speak out simply to avoid some cause and effect.
But the thought of this only made Shen Qian even more shocked.
Although "Earl" is only the lowest rank among the titles of kings and marquises, it is still a king or marquis!
What kind of cause and effect would make even Luo Shenbo avoid it like the plague?
Luo Shenbo remained silent for a long time. Just when Shen Qian thought she probably wouldn't say anything more, Luo Shenbo suddenly spoke.
"A long, long time ago, there was a wasteland that looked quite open."
Concentrate in the instant before sinking.
And Luo Shenbo continued speaking.
"One day, a seedling suddenly sprouted on that long-parched wasteland. Despite the wind and rain and the harsh environment, the seedling actually grew and grew bigger and taller..."
"Later, it grew into a tall and straight tree, and its verdant green could be seen even from a great distance."
"Perhaps the appearance of the big tree improved the soil, so more saplings began to grow in this soil, and some trees from outside were attracted to take root here."
"When this wasteland finally emerged from its barrenness and was no longer afraid of the ravages of wind and rain, nine large trees had already been erected on it, and countless saplings were growing among them. The situation of this wasteland suddenly became much better."
"There's only one thing that's a real pity..."
Shen Qian was listening intently when he heard Luo Shenbo pause, and he subconsciously asked, "What's a pity?"
"Those nine big trees were so thick and strong, each one seemed to reach the sky. They certainly protected this land firmly and made it fertile, but... they also blocked the sunlight from other trees."
"Their blooming branches and leaves blocked out the sky, completely obscuring the sky above this land."
"When the other saplings have grown to a certain size but can no longer grow, all the trees suddenly realize that there is no gap left for them to continue growing upwards."
"What do you think will happen at a time like this?"
He didn't reply, but was simply caught in a slight shock.
Luo Shenbo didn't really expect an answer. After a short pause, he continued, "Later, for various reasons, seven of the nine trees finally fell, and the sky was once again filled with sunshine..."
"The other trees thought their opportunity had finally arrived, so they began to bask in the sunlight and grow desperately."
"Until one day, many trees were astonished to discover that even so, they still could not grow into new towering trees."
"Perhaps it's because of talent, or perhaps it's because of other reasons... but this land has not seen towering trees for a long time."
"Some people have begun to reflect, while others have begun to try other paths."
"Other routes?" Shen Qian finally snapped out of his daze.
“Think about it,” Luo Shenbo said softly. “Though those big trees have fallen, it doesn’t mean that their once deep-rooted roots have also disappeared. What if… we could turn those roots into our own?”
"Then, with the help of those roots, it can easily grow into a new big tree..."
He murmured before sinking down.
"Is that all? Or is this the only possibility?"
Luo Shenbo smiled slightly.
"What else could it be?"
"Hehe, the story ends here."
Luo Shenbo abruptly ended the conversation.
No matter how much Shen Qian pressed for answers, seeing that Luo Shenbo showed no intention of speaking again, Shen Qian could only give up in embarrassment.
