The next moment, an official in the hall suddenly stood up and said, "Grand Preceptor, although you have demonstrated your ability to foresee the future, it is not enough. After all, the way you solved the problems for the other two countries was only through strategic solutions, without demonstrating your magical abilities."
Xi Xingxue looked up at the official and realized that he was from the Crown Prince's faction. Sure enough, it had begun.
Qi Jinzhao will not let him go.
It's alright.
A cold glint flashed in Xi Xingxue's eyes; he wouldn't let Qi Jinzhao off the hook either.
After all, his mission was to survive.
Qi Jinzhao lifted his eyelids and glanced at the official with a somewhat sharp look.
Betrayal...
He muttered two sentences to himself.
Xi Xingxue asked, "Then what kind of magic would you like to see me use?"
No one in the main hall stopped the official. Although they had already acknowledged Xi Xingxue's strength, there was still something else that everyone needed besides her ability to foresee the future, refine elixirs, and read celestial phenomena.
That is praying for rain.
Xiangguo receives abundant rainfall, often resulting in floods and mudslides. Xi Xingxue implemented several methods to address this situation, such as planting trees and repairing rivers...
But the Great Xia Dynasty was plagued by droughts, so success there was no easy feat.
If the imperial advisor could truly pray for rain, he would undoubtedly become the greatest figure in history, second only to the emperor, and his legendary story would be remembered for generations to come!
Xi Xingxue paused for a moment, gave the official a cool glance, and then nodded.
"good."
good?
A simple "good" character, yet incredibly sophisticated, resonates deeply in everyone's heart.
The emperor coughed and said, "In that case, let's move outside the hall and watch the Imperial Preceptor demonstrate his skills."
Only Xie Yin, who had been keeping his head down and pretending to be Xi Xingxue's attendant, nervously tugged at Xi Xingxue's sleeve at this moment.
"My lord, are you really going to..."
Xi Xingxue hummed in agreement and whispered, "Don't worry, I can do it."
Xie Yin was still worried.
He glared at Qi Jinchao intently. If Qi Jinchao really caused Xi Xingxue to lose everything...
He won't let him off the hook.
At this moment, Xi Xingxue was unaware that Xie Yin had already harbored a grudge against Qi Jinzhao, and the two almost came to blows on the spot.
He simply took a step and walked towards the outside of the hall.
The group also left their seats and followed Xi Xingxue outside.
They were all curious and in need.
However, based on Xi Xingxue's performance just now, they had already largely come to believe in her abilities.
After all, he was too omniscient and omnipotent.
Could a normal person do that? The answer is no.
It was dusk, and the setting sun was about to be swallowed up by the mountains, leaving a crimson glow on the palace buildings, casting a dreamlike light and shadow.
Xi Xingxue stood at the very front of the crowd, atop the high steps.
Below the steps stood numerous court officials, princes and nobles, crown princes and princes, and the emperor.
They were clearly powerful figures who could manipulate events and control the world with their bare hands within the Great Xia Dynasty, but no matter how powerful they were normally, they now had to stand below the steps and look up to Xi Xingxue.
A gust of wind rose, causing the white robes to billow and rustle, and Xi Xingxue's black hair, held up only by a hairpin, also danced in the wind.
In the fading twilight, his face, besides being perfect, also exuded a captivating sense of distance.
It was as if he were a celestial being descended from heaven to undergo tribulation.
Now, with just a wave of the hand, wind and rain will come, and flowers will bloom.
Facing the admiring gazes of the crowd, Xi Xingxue's expression remained unchanged throughout, showing no sign of unease. He was confident of victory.
In his mind, he thought, "System, how much longer does the weather forecast say it will rain?"
System: "Light rain will begin in five minutes."
Xi Xingxue said, "Okay."
He looked up at the sky, then raised his hands, his fingers forming strange hand gestures.
Those below assumed he was preparing for the rain and had no objections.
Only the prince of Ye Kingdom was puzzled: "We have also invited experts and sages to pray for rain. Before praying for rain, they usually need to prepare fruits, cattle and sheep, and also need to gather the people for a mass worship. How come the Xi Kingdom Preceptor can accomplish this all by himself?"
A high-ranking official next to him said, "This proves how remarkable the Imperial Preceptor is."
Looking at the person on the stage who seemed to be shrouded in holy light, unapproachable and unapproachable, Qi Jinzhao felt a sense of unease.
The person who came to find Xi Xingxue was a 'god', so Xi Xingxue must also be close to being a 'god'.
So he really is...
Xie Yin's fingernails dug into his palm, so tense that he couldn't feel the stinging pain.
He was very worried about Xi Xingxue.
If the rainmaking fails, if he loses his status as the imperial advisor, if his life is in danger.
What ability does Xie Yin have now to protect him?
Under the expectant or curious gazes of everyone, the five minutes were finally up.
Xi Xingxue stopped making some strange gestures.
Then the whole thing reached its climax.
He raised his hand and held up one finger to the sky.
"Rain is falling!"
These two words struck them like a hammer blow, with tremendous force, deeply resonating in their hearts.
The next second.
A cool breeze blew by, and wisps of icy liquid fell onto their eyelids.
"Is it really raining?"
"I'm soaked! Oh my god! It's raining!"
"The rain prayer was successful!"
Everyone was surprised and amazed, and for a moment they spread out their hands to catch the raindrops falling from the sky.
