Perhaps because there was nothing else to do, the Imperial Advisor decided to set off after dinner.
Jiang Li frowned as she looked at the Imperial Advisor, her face full of confusion.
"Grand Preceptor, why are you in such a hurry to go?"
Isn't this a bit too hasty?
"What? Aren't you in a hurry?" the Imperial Advisor asked calmly. "If you're not in a rush to go back, then being a little later is fine. It's just that I don't know if the spacetime formation will wait for you..."
Jiang Li: "..."
Although she was very anxious, she still felt that the imperial advisor's attitude was strange.
“Since it’s your decision, of course we can’t stop you,” Lu Shiyan said calmly. “You don’t need to say these things to us here. If you want to go, then go.”
"If that's the case, then it's settled then," the Imperial Advisor said, then indicated that he needed to get busy packing.
As for Jiang Li...
She can do whatever she wants.
Jiang Li didn't leave; she stayed by Lu Shiyan's side, quietly watching the Imperial Advisor pack his things.
Seeing the things he packed, Jiang Li's heart skipped a beat.
"Isn't the Imperial Preceptor supposed to be going with us to that very important place? But why did you bring so much..." Jiang Li hesitated for a moment, then used a more tactful way of putting it, "Are you planning to pay respects to someone?"
What is he trying to do?
"The country has been suffering from a severe drought for a long time, and it hasn't rained for quite some time," the Grand Preceptor said in a flat voice. As he spoke, he turned to look at Jiang Li and said, "The place you are going to is an excellent location. If you pray for rain there, the chances of success are extremely high. Since it is a rainmaking ritual, many things will naturally be needed."
Jiang Li indicated that she understood.
I just don't know if this rain will come.
Dinner was quite lavish.
That specification...
It can be said that...
It's just in time for the Chinese New Year.
Jiang Li's feelings were incredibly complicated, but she didn't miss a single bite of the food.
No wonder Fuying was so disgusted with a few dishes when we were eating earlier, it turns out...
The most authentic taste is actually like this.
but……
The replicas are pretty good.
With that in mind, Jiang Li continued to eat heartily.
Such treatment isn't something you can get all the time, so...
When it's edible, you absolutely shouldn't miss it.
"Aren't you afraid of stuffing yourself to death?" The Imperial Advisor looked at Jiang Li in shock. It was rather amusing to see such an expression on that face, which was so similar to Lu Shiyan's.
“Food can be converted into energy. Once food is in your stomach, it becomes energy. How could you possibly die from overeating?” Jiang Li said matter-of-factly. The next second, she said seriously, “Besides, even if I ate so much because the food was delicious, it wouldn’t be enough to make me die from overeating. Or is it that… the Grand Preceptor is reluctant to part with this little bit of food?”
"What are you pretending for?" Lu Shiyan said sarcastically, his gaze towards the Grand Preceptor filled with disdain. "You've already had such a huge feast prepared. If you're worried about people eating it, why did you have so much prepared? Are you deliberately wasting it?"
Imperial Advisor: "..."
“Being by your side all this time, I can clearly feel my soul weakening.” Lu Shiyan said seriously, “And you must have absorbed a lot of my soul energy. You said you prepared so much food, is it because you saw something you shouldn’t have seen while absorbing my soul energy?”
Imperial Advisor: "..."
Lu Shiyan's words were remarkably frank.
The Imperial Advisor, however, showed a hint of unease.
Jiang Li noticed that expression.
Could Ah Yan be telling the truth?
He absorbed Ayan's soul power and saw Ayan's memories within those fragments of power.
That's how I learned she has a big appetite...
Then he ordered someone to prepare such a large table of food?
This thought made Jiang Li feel that this imperial advisor seemed quite considerate and not so cold-hearted.
Even if he doesn't admit it in his heart, he is still Ayan's past life. Even if he feels different in many ways, the things that come from the soul cannot be changed.
After dinner, the three of them set off together.
The moon is exceptionally round tonight.
Lifting the curtains of the carriage, you can see the bright moon at a glance.
Jiang Li looked curiously at the Imperial Advisor beside her and asked, "Is today the first or the fifteenth of the month? Why is the moon so round?"
It's round, dreamy, and beautiful.
But at the same time, it made her feel anxious.
Something just doesn't feel right.
"Twenty-three," the Imperial Advisor replied.
It's neither the first nor the fifteenth of the lunar month, and it's also not close to either of those dates—the twenty-third.
Such a round moon is indeed illogical.
"This moon is so unusual, doesn't the Imperial Preceptor find it strange?" Jiang Li couldn't help but ask.
The Imperial Advisor remained calm and expressionless. He said, "The whole country is in turmoil. It hasn't rained for years, various disasters are frequent, and the people are suffering... It's just that the moon is a little fuller. What's the big deal?"
Besides...
The moon is so full today...
Isn't this telling him that his wish is about to be fulfilled?
Jiang Li was surprised that the Imperial Advisor would say such a thing without any expression.
However, given the current situation, there was really nothing she could say, so she simply chose to keep quiet.
We arrived at our destination around noon the following day.
really……
It's very far.
However, the mountain in front of her also gave Jiang Li a few indescribable feelings.
It makes you feel relaxed for a moment, but at the same time, it makes your scalp tingle.
"Let's go." The Imperial Advisor led the way.
As Jiang Li caught up, she couldn't help but ask, "Grand Preceptor, you've never been here before, have you?"
"Yes." The Imperial Advisor did not deny it.
“But the way you’re walking forward doesn’t seem like you’ve never been here before…” Jiang Li couldn’t help but exclaim, “You even seem to know this place very well.”
“Now that we’ve found the general area, I can naturally deduce which point to go to,” the Grand Preceptor said calmly. “So it’s not surprising that I know every path so well.”
Jiang Li: "..."
Too……
He is, after all, the Imperial Advisor.
In the eyes of others, he is someone who can listen to the common people and communicate with the gods.
that's all……
Jiang Li and Lu Shiyan followed the Imperial Advisor to the foot of a mountain, and then followed the mountain path into a cave.
The cave looks quite spacious.
The sunlight was just right, so the cave was very bright.
"Come and help me." The Imperial Advisor handed a pile of talismans to Jiang Li.
Jiang Li: "???"
“I know you are a Xuan Master, so handing these things over to you should be no problem.”
Jiang Li: "..."
So, the reason this person asked her to come along was because he wanted her to do hard labor?
The Imperial Advisor's formation was exquisite; it was indeed a rain-seeking formation.
After reviewing it, Jiang Li diligently helped the Imperial Advisor to set up the formation.
After the formation was set up, Jiang Li hadn't even had a chance to breathe a sigh of relief when suddenly...
The world changed drastically, and the entire cave began to shake violently...
