Su Deng followed the directions given on the way and found the Celestial Master's Mansion, which looked magnificent.
On the way, she asked someone for the current name of the Celestial Master of the Celestial Master's Mansion, and where the Liu family was located.
The current Celestial Master is named He Zhiwei, and he is sixty years old.
He had an apprentice named Liu Suan.
Liu Suan was the only child of Liu Sihong, the Minister of Rites of the Great Jin Dynasty.
Liu Suan was considered a legend in the Great Jin Dynasty.
On his first birthday, he grabbed a handful of counting rods and casually tossed them aside. Three of them turned out to be extremely auspicious, and strange phenomena appeared in the sky, even alarming the emperor and the celestial master in the palace.
The celestial master divined his fate and said he was born to be skilled in magic. He immediately took him as his disciple and groomed him as his successor.
The emperor personally bestowed the name upon him; it was auspicious.
Liu Suan.
A genius born for arithmetic.
Su Deng remembered what Liu Sangua had told her before. When he was sixteen, the old celestial master vomited blood and died after calculating the last divination, saying that a great calamity would befall Da Jin.
In the current timeline, Liu Suan is exactly sixteen years old.
After standing outside the Celestial Master's Mansion for a while, Su Deng left.
She went to the Liu family.
The guards at the Liu family's gate shook their heads when they heard her looking for Liu Suan. "Our young master is not home."
Su Deng paused slightly, "Then where is he now? Or where can we find him?"
The guard said, "Our young master is studying at the Imperial Academy."
After school, they lived in the palace.
Su Deng: "..."
No matter what, she knew that one could not enter the ancient imperial palace casually.
She thought for a moment and said, "Then can I see your master? Just tell him that I've come to see your young master and have something very important to discuss."
Su Deng didn't know if this reason would work, but after hearing her say that, the guard went in to report it.
She came out quickly and said that the lady invited her in.
lady?
Was she Liu Sangua's mother?
Su Deng, filled with doubt, met the woman who was over thirty years old, yet still elegant and beautiful.
She was with several maids, trimming flowers and plants in the backyard.
Upon seeing Su Deng, he paused slightly, "I've never seen you before."
Su Deng smiled slightly, "My wife and I have never met before."
"I heard you're looking for Liu Suan." Zheng Wei handed the scissors to the maid and led her to the pavilion in the garden. "Sit down, I am his mother."
Zheng Wei poured Su Deng a glass of water. "Since Suan'er is studying at the Imperial Academy and will be living in the palace, you probably won't be able to see him anymore."
Su Deng asked, "When will he be back?"
Zheng Wei paused slightly, put down the kettle, walked to the edge of the pavilion, looked into the distance, and sighed, "Come back... will he ever come back..."
Her tone was tinged with sadness and deep sorrow, "I... haven't seen him in a long time either..."
Su Deng frowned slightly. "Isn't he coming back?"
“Since Suan’er was granted entry into the palace when he was thirteen, it has been three years, and I have only seen him three times…”
It was all during the Chinese New Year period.
Su Deng was stunned. "Why?"
"I don't know who you are or what business you have with Suan'er. I let you in only because you said you are Suan'er's friend."
Zheng Wei turned around, looked at the beautiful girl in front of her, and said calmly, "Suan'er has never had any friends since he was a child. It's impossible for him to have any friends. So, who exactly are you?"
"I..." Su Deng's words caught in her throat. Even if she told Zheng Wei about what happened in the game, Zheng Wei probably wouldn't believe her.
If she were to fabricate a lie, she was a stranger, and no matter how well she fabricated it, she couldn't fool the other party's mother.
There was a moment of silence.
Su Deng said, "I can only tell you that Liu Suan will soon suffer a calamity, and I want to see him."
This is not lying.
Anyone would get angry if they heard someone cursing their child for no reason.
Zheng Wei looked at her quietly for a while before speaking, "Half a year ago, the old master said that my son would face a calamity in the next few years, but the way to resolve it was through a girl."
Su Deng's pupils contracted slightly.
Zheng Wei bent down and took some fish food from the table, sprinkling it into the lake intermittently as she spoke in a soft voice.
"The name Suan'er was bestowed by the Emperor. Even if the Liu family was unwilling, they dared not disobey the imperial decree. In fact, because of this, they didn't even dare to give him a nickname, for fear of being accused of disrespecting the Emperor..."
I only dared to call him Suan'er.
Liu was a genius in divination, and with the auspicious signs that appeared when he turned one year old, the Heavenly Master and the Emperor valued him highly.
When he was eight years old, the emperor allowed him to enter the Imperial Academy. He was not only on par with the noble children, but also with the princesses and princes in the palace, and even received more favor than them.
At first, Liu Suan was still young. Every day he would go to learn divination from the old master or attend classes at the Imperial Academy. He could go home every day and had days off.
This unparalleled glory brought the Liu family immense prosperity. The Liu family was loyal to the emperor and did not think much of it at the time. They were only grateful for the emperor's favor and worked even harder.
Until he was eleven years old, Liu Suan began to divine the fortunes and misfortunes of Da Jin.
In those years, I consulted the oracle at least fifteen times, and every single one of them was a very auspicious sign.
The country is prosperous.
The emperor said that Liu Suan was born for the sake of the fate of the Great Jin Kingdom.
When he was thirteen, after another auspicious divination, the emperor was overjoyed and, in addition to the Celestial Master's Platform in the palace, also granted him a separate residence in the palace.
Despite his status as a guard or maid, he was allowed to live in the palace, making him even more prestigious than the Crown Prince.
In an instant, Liu Gua and the Liu family rose in status and fortune.
From that time on, Liu Suan stopped coming back on weekdays.
The Emperor said that Liu Suan is young and should learn from the Old Master so that he can better divine for the Great Jin Dynasty.
