Chapter 254: Heaven's Secret
Feng Yan was startled, then lowered his voice and asked with a puzzled look, "Why do you say that, Princess?"
Chu Ci's eyes were sharp, and that look seemed to be able to pierce people's hearts. Then he stared at Feng Yan closely and said word by word: "Master Feng, a person's eyes can't lie. The evasion and hesitation in your eyes have already explained the problem."
Feng Yan sighed helplessly at Chu Ci's unyielding stare, his brow furrowed. "What if I told you that changing Qianxue's fate might involve you?"
"This matter is extremely risky. Princess, please think twice."
Feng Yan originally thought that Chu Ci would weigh the safety of Qianxue against his own.
Unexpectedly, Chu Ci smiled upon hearing this, with a hint of ridicule in his smile, "Master Feng, does this count as revealing the secret?"
"Not really." Feng Yan didn't know what Chu Ci's purpose was in asking this, but he still chose to tell the truth and answer honestly.
Chu Ci nodded slightly upon hearing this and said slowly, "In that case, Lord Feng, just pretend that you have never had this fortune told, right?"
"From now on, be less calculating. Don't pry too much into the secrets of heaven, or you'll easily suffer backlash and bring disaster upon yourself for no reason. I'm sure Lord Feng is well aware of the interests involved."
The answer was predictable, so Feng Yan didn't ask Chu Ci how he would respond next. He simply nodded slightly and said calmly, "I understand. I'll just pretend I didn't read this fortune today."
Wait, what?
Did Feng Yan misunderstand something?
Chu Ci stared at Feng Yan, his eyes filled with deep doubt: "Master Feng, to comprehend the secrets of heaven? You also need to pay a price, right?"
Feng Yan heard this and showed a look of disbelief on his face, his eyes full of surprise: "Me? The princess is actually worried about me?"
Chu Ci shook his head slightly and patiently explained, "I've always believed that knowing one's fate in advance isn't necessarily a good thing. Life is full of unknowns and uncertainties. If everything could be known in advance, where would the fun and challenge be?"
"Lord Feng Yan, instead of wasting your energy on fortune-telling and trying to peek into the unknown, it is better to grasp the present, live well, and feel every real moment with your heart."
"Destiny is unpredictable, and the only thing we can control is the present moment."
Feng Yan was finally moved after hearing this. A complex emotion flashed across his eyes, but he still asked persistently, "What are you going to do about Miss Qianyan's matter?"
Chu Ci didn't know why Feng Yan was so persistent in wanting an answer, but he still explained in a good-tempered manner: "Master Feng, have you ever heard of this saying?"
"It's better to make your own decision than to seek divination from the gods."
"I will handle matters according to the specific circumstances and my own judgment, and will not rely on the results of fortune-telling."
"But..." Although Feng Yan admired Chu Ci's psychological endurance and firm belief, he was still afraid of what might happen. His expression was full of worry, "What if..."
But just as he started to speak, Chu Ci interrupted him, "Master Feng, have you forgotten that my master is Divine Doctor Hua?"
"As the saying goes, medicine and poison are inseparable. I have considerable attainments in medicine, and I'm not completely ignorant of poisons either. I can handle common troubles."
Feng Yan saw that Chu Ci had made up his mind and knew that it was useless to say more, so he stopped talking.
I just secretly decided to take better care of Qianyan in the future and try my best to prevent her from getting hurt.
"Master Yunshang, if that's the case, let's get out. This carriage is very small, and the air isn't circulating very well. It's so stuffy, it's really making people feel very uncomfortable."
Feng Yan said this, and moved quickly. Not only did he swiftly jump off the carriage, he also enthusiastically reached out and pulled Taoist Yunshang with him, saying anxiously: "Master Yunshang, please go too. Let's not disturb the young couple!"
Upon hearing this, Taoist Master Yun Shang rolled his eyes fiercely and complained inwardly, "Who on earth caused this?"
"I'm so unlucky. I was dragged into this for no reason."
He muttered, "Old Taoist, why is my life so hard?"
Chu Ci knew that Taoist Yunshang was trying to curry favor with him in various ways, and he couldn't help but smile.
Then she turned around and took out a bottle of premium ginseng wine from a wooden box (space), shook it gently in front of Taoist Yunshang, and said with a sweet smile: "Taoist Yunshang, it won't be bitter now, right?"
"It's not bitter, not at all." Taoist Yunshang's eyes lit up and he stared at the bottle of wine, as if it was the most precious treasure in the world.
But then he felt a little sorry and couldn't help but mutter to himself, "What a waste. Such a good thing, and it's just soaked in wine."
Thinking of this, Taoist Master Yun Shang kindly reminded him, "Don't let your master know. Otherwise, with your master's temper, he will definitely break your legs."
Chu Ci was speechless upon hearing this. He couldn't help but roll his eyes and said unhappily, "Don't worry, Taoist priest. My master has much more good stuff than what you have. And the quality is definitely much higher. Whether it's the age or the efficacy, it far exceeds your bottle."
Taoist Master Yun Shang immediately shut up and muttered to himself, "Jealousy, jealousy changes a person beyond recognition."
Even Feng Yan, who had already jumped off the carriage, was so attracted that he could not move. He came over with a fawning look on his face, staring eagerly at the ginseng wine in Taoist Yun Shang's hand, and said pitifully: "Princess, I am one of you now, right? Can I have some too?"
Chu Ci was about to agree when Fan Jingrui spoke first, "One condition. Lord Feng, can you give my wife a share of the goodies in your hand?"
Feng Yan glanced at Chu Ci, then turned to look at Taoist Yun Shang who was leisurely beside him. He seemed to have made up his mind and said through gritted teeth, "I agree. Ginseng wine—"
Without saying a word, Chu Ci took out a bottle of identical ginseng wine from his luggage (space) and handed it over without hesitation.
Feng Yan took the ginseng wine, a satisfied smile on his face, and held the wine tightly in his arms, as if he had obtained a unique treasure in the world. He looked so happy.
In contrast, the second prince Li Qin looked at the news coming from all over the place, and his face instantly became as gloomy as the sky before a storm, dark and gloomy, making people feel extremely depressed.
After a long time, Li Qin could no longer suppress the anger in his heart. With a "bang", he threw the paperweight in his hand to the ground. The paperweight instantly broke into pieces and debris flew everywhere.
"Is Princess Yixin a devil?" Li Qin roared in anger.
"Why is it that as long as she is here, my carefully planned plan will never succeed?" He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white, and his voice was full of anger and unwillingness.
"Why is God so unfair, always letting my hard work go to waste!" Li Qin roared, his eyes red, like an angry lion.
