More than half an hour has passed.
Qu Jian'er leaned back in her chair without any regard for appearances: "Let's get down to business, hiccup."
The unpretentious nature of the person in front of him made Zuo Chen unable to hold back his smile, so he simply let it go.
Qu Jian'er took out a string of beads she had been carving all afternoon from her pocket and handed it over while explaining, "Your situation is a bit special. It will take time to completely resolve it. Here, I've carved an array to ward off evil spirits on each bead. It will at least protect you from disasters and evil spirits for a month."
The owner casually took out the six-bead wooden string.
Zuo Chen took it and looked closely; it was made of six-beaded wood, which he wasn't very familiar with. Each bead had a coffee-like fragrance, and its patterns resembled flowers, shaped like lotus petals.
The brown beaded string looks simple.
But each stroke of the rhombus and circular formation seems to contain boundless power.
Zuo Chen took off the expensive small-leaf sandalwood bracelet from his hand and put the cheap beaded bracelet on his wrist without saying a word.
Qu Jian'er asked in surprise, "You're so at ease?"
Zuo Chen simply said, "Not all CEOs are domineering, nor are all CEOs suspicious and distrustful."
Upon hearing this...
Qu Jian'er couldn't help but laugh.
She hadn't expected Zuo Chen to be so down-to-earth, and not as unapproachable as he was in the original story.
Zuo Chen pointed out the main point of contention: "Does Master Qu know the reason for my constitution?"
Qu Jian'er looked around: "Is it convenient to talk?"
Zuo Chen nodded slightly.
He gestured to Qu Jian'er that she didn't need to worry.
Qu Jian'er said, "There are stars in the sky, and people have their birth charts. The Ziwei star, also known as the Ziwei Star Enclosure, is the master of the Ziwei system. It governs strategy and politics. Its energy is revered, and it is also commonly known as the Emperor Star."
Zuo Chen's eyes darkened: "Such a beautiful star, does it have anything to do with me?"
Qu Jian'er nodded and continued, "Your presence in the main palace on the Ziwei Star is a sign of your destined imperial destiny. However, the interstellar world is now divided into empires and federations. If you were born in the beastman world of the federation, you would still have the opportunity to rule there."
Zuo Chen smiled and replied, "But I'm in the Empire."
Qu Jian'er continued, "Even if the empire is crumbling, its national fortune still exists. You can't compete with it and have been suppressed for many years. Moreover, the year you were born must have been a year of national tragedy, which made you, who was already weak, even more prone to misfortune."
29 years ago.
A mutiny broke out in the empire, and the imperial family and high-ranking officials of various ethnic groups were nearly wiped out by the current emperor.
Zuo Chen was born on that bloody and turbulent night, a fact that was an open secret among the upper class. It was simply because the timing of Zuo Chen's birth was rather unfortunate.
Zuo Chen asked, "How did Master Qu figure that out?"
Qu Jian'er explained, "In terms of name and facial features, since ancient times, the left side has been considered superior and the right side inferior. Chen belongs to the metal element, and this character also belongs to the emperor. You should be grateful that your name helps you bear two parts of the imperial aura in your destiny."
Zuo Chen chuckled optimistically: "Otherwise, I should have been a handful of dust by now, Master Qu. May I say that my mental chaos is also related to this?"
Qu Jian'er nodded and then shook her head: "Not entirely. I've roughly calculated your fate, but there's one thing I'm still not sure about. I'll tell you once I figure it out. Tell me first, over the years, have you sought help from any capable or righteous people?"
She was genuinely unsure.
Upon seeing Zuo Chen, she suspected that his fate was more complex than simply being cursed. It seemed more like he had been framed by someone with ulterior motives.
That's why she asked Zuo Chen if he had ever met any other Taoist priests in his life.
