Chapter 141 The Immortal Emerges from Seclusion
Marquis Yongning leaned forward and glanced at his youngest son, who was engrossed in reading inside the room, a hint of disdain in his eyes.
With his son, how could he possibly marry a goddess as beautiful as an angel?
What sweet dreams is the lady having!
At this moment, Wei Hongwen noticed the three people outside the door, so he got up and went out to see what was going on.
"Father, Mother, and Elder Brother, what are you doing here?"
“Hongwen, that Miss Qin is really nice. We’re considering whether there’s any possibility of you two getting married,” said Mother Wei.
Wei Hongwen almost choked on his saliva.
“Mother, what are you saying! I have already acknowledged Miss Qin as my elder sister today! How could a younger brother have any improper thoughts about his elder sister!”
Marquis Yongning glanced at his wife impatiently.
The eldest daughter of the Marquis of Dingbei was someone who had been lost and then found again; she was the lifeblood of the entire household.
If I were to go to Qin Yezhong's house to propose marriage for my notorious playboy son in Kyoto, I'd probably get beaten up!
Moreover, possessing such miraculous abilities, he has earned His Majesty's favor.
She will definitely have a huge impact on the fate of the Yao dynasty.
A woman like this could marry an emperor or a crown prince; how could a small Yongning Marquis's mansion even dream of such a thing?
"Madam, stop daydreaming and go back to rest," the Marquis said.
"I'm only thinking about my son's marriage," Wei's mother muttered.
The family dispersed.
-----------------
Qin Wanying was at the Marquis's residence, pondering the plot of the story.
In the book, Xiao Dongqian was able to develop so well because he had a mentor.
This expert, like her, was skilled in fortune telling. Xiao Dongqian referred to him as an immortal.
Two years ago, I gave Xiao Dongqian and Yan Yuelan some guidance, which enabled Xiao Dongqian to plan for himself step by step and achieve what he has today.
This master went into seclusion two years ago after giving Xiao Dongqian his guidance.
He remained in seclusion for two years.
Bad news: this master should be emerging from seclusion soon.
Good news, he died as soon as he came out of quarantine.
This master was very mysterious, and there wasn't much description of him in the book, but every word he said was very accurate and extremely important to Xiao Dongqian.
This person had been in seclusion in a mountain cave in the eastern border of Dayao.
That's Xiao Dongqian's territory, otherwise I would have gone there already.
Fortunately, after she transmigrated, this person had been in seclusion, and was about to die as soon as he emerged.
The book portrays him as almost superhuman; if he hadn't died, it's uncertain whether he could have defeated the opponent.
-----------------
In the eastern border, beside a mountain cave.
Xiao Dongqian stood at the entrance of the cave, pacing back and forth.
The immortal had previously said that he would emerge from seclusion today.
He was eager to seek the help of the immortals, so he waited in front of the cave early in the morning.
These days, he has been suffering setbacks at the hands of Qin Wanying, and his grand plan will probably have to be postponed.
Qin Wanying is so amazing, but it's only because she can tell fortunes.
However, this immortal's fortune-telling ability was no less than Qin Wanying's.
If I could have this person by my side to assist me, I would definitely be able to surpass Qin Wanying.
However, immortals prefer tranquility and are unwilling to associate with the mortal world, so they probably wouldn't come to my side to be my advisor.
If it weren't for the fact that the immortal faced a calamity two years ago and Yue Lan and I happened to save his life, we wouldn't have given him so much guidance.
With the guidance of the immortal, he was invincible and defeated the enemy country one after another.
Even if the immortals are unwilling to come to my side, it would be good if they could give me some guidance.
Just then, footsteps came from inside the cave.
The immortal is coming out!
Xiao Dongqian stared intently into the cave.
An old man slowly walked out, dressed in white, with white hair and beard, exuding an air of otherworldly grace.
"Immortal, you've come out!" Xiao Dongqian's eyes revealed joy.
The immortal was the same as before, with almost no change.
Xiao Dongqian was also wondering what the immortals had been eating and drinking inside for the past two years.
Could he be a true immortal who knows how to abstain from grains?
"We meet again," the immortal said calmly.
"Unfortunately, my time is up, and my days are numbered. Today is my death day," the immortal continued.
Xiao Dongqian's face turned deathly pale, as if he had been struck by lightning.
He had waited for the immortal for so long, hoping that the immortal could help him deal with Qin Wanying.
Unexpectedly, the immortal said that he was going to die today.
As expected, he was not a true immortal, but merely a mortal, destined to die.
"You saved me before. If you have any requests or questions about me, I am willing to answer them." The immortal stroked his beard, showing no signs of being a dying man.
“Immortal, there is someone who is opposing me. I don’t know how to deal with her, and I feel that I might die at her hands,” Xiao Dongqian said.
The immortal was taken aback. How come he hadn't foreseen such a person? Could it be that this person, like Xiao Dongqian and Yan Yuelan, was also someone with great fortune, and he couldn't see this person's destiny?
Xiao Dongqian explained Qin Wanying's extraordinary abilities to the immortal in detail.
The immortal's pupils constricted slightly, and he felt a chill run down his spine.
He studied divination from a young age and considered himself unmatched in fortune-telling.
I never imagined I was still a frog in a well; this little girl is far more capable than I am.
"This is the chosen one. I advise you not to make an enemy of her. It would be best to turn enemies into friends," the immortal said.
Xiao Dongqian's eyes darkened.
He had considered turning enemies into friends.
However, once the arrow is released, there's no turning back.
He had been plotting this for a long time, and his father and the crown prince had long been wary of him.
Even if he gives up the rebellion, they will not let him go.
Moreover, why should I give up after all these years of hard work?
He was unwilling to accept it. He felt that the throne should have been his.
Given the premise of plotting a rebellion, it's simply unrealistic to turn an enemy into a friend of Qin Wanying.
He knew what the Marquis of Dingbei's residence was like.
He had repeatedly tried to curry favor with the Marquis of Dingbei, hoping to bring him under his control, but the entire family was hostile to him. He knew that the Marquis of Dingbei could only be killed, not spared.
Qin Wanying was the darling of the Marquis of Dingbei's family, and the whole family doted on her like a star, treating her as the apple of their eye. She also had a very good relationship with her family.
It is absolutely impossible to win over Qin Wanying.
Therefore, Qin Wanying was destined to be his enemy.
“Immortal, I have considered this matter, but it is not realistic. We are on different sides and it is impossible for us to turn enemies into friends,” Xiao Dongqian said solemnly.
"Can the immortal reveal this person's weakness?" he pressed.
The immortal sighed.
“She, like you and Yan Yuelan, is a person with great fortune. She must be surrounded by purple aura, otherwise I would not have been unable to predict her affairs.”
Xiao Dongqian's eyes dimmed.
Is there no way even immortals can do it?
Suddenly, something flashed through Xiao Dongqian's mind.
Xiao Dongqian's eyes lit up.
"Immortal, you said she possesses great fortune, just like me and Yue Lan, yet you couldn't predict it?"
"Yes."
"Since Yue Lan and I are also people with great fortune, is it possible that she can't predict our affairs?" Xiao Dongqian asked.
