Xiao Shen Chen felt a little embarrassed and spoke softly, "About the Lone Luan Disaster Star, can you not tell others."
He feared that the gazes of those around him would, like his grandfather’s, carry a look of strangeness.
Most frightening to him was the thought that the peach-cheeked little girl would no longer smile charmingly at him.
Xiao Li Qian and Changzhou, two good friends, he believed would not mind these things~
Another challenging person was Ye Family of the Minister’s Mansion, Ah Zhi’s mother; previously, the fortune-teller had claimed he was a disaster star, which might have been dismissed as nonsense.
But.
If it was said by Pei Wanmu, the revered State Preceptor of the imperial court~
The effect would definitely not be that simple.
In serious cases, even the young daughter would be forbidden from approaching him.
No matter what the future path held, the thought always lingered in the Little Traitor’s mind: no matter where he walked, he would always walk towards a prosperous world.
He believed that was the flourishing world.
Pei Wanmu nodded, "Alright, I promise you, but as your mentor, I will guide your martial arts in the future. In terms of both emotion and reason, you must respectfully address me as Master. In life, one must repay kindness."
Speaking about the Lone Luan Disaster Star was of no use, it couldn’t be changed.
Might as well let things take their natural course~
Xiao Shen Chen, heavy with thought, understood these words immediately and walked to the center of the hall, lifting his robe to kneel with both legs and clasping his hands in respect, "Disciple understands, and I will use all my abilities to fulfill Master’s commands in the future."
Speaking respectfully, he willingly kowtowed three times.
"Get up," Pei Wanmu, feeling a sense of understanding, did not make things difficult for him.
A conversation between a man and a young boy was thus completed.
After the youth in a wretched green robe left, the man seated in the main position took a light sip of oolong tea, unsure whether it was a blessing or a curse.
Ordinarily, the State Preceptor did not drink tea, but today, during the conversation with the Little Traitor, he sipped several cups.
The Lone Luan Disaster Star, which combines calamity with loneliness and solitude, overlapping with corner stars, results in yin and yang errors, with severe relational issues.
It has beneficial stars aiding in resolution, yet nothing can assist it.
This decides a person’s destined, lifelong solitary fate, a greatly ominous sign.
However, the disaster star does not affect the person themselves but presents extreme malignancy to those around them.
The signs show collisions with oxen and dragons, with tigers and snakes, conflicts occur with dogs encountering pigs and goats encountering monkeys, impacting wealth and relatives, ensuring wealth and prosperity come late in life, losing husbands, mothers, and even harming wives, the timing is beyond human control.
Late life is miserable, lonely and without ties, causing harm to kin, isolating in old age.
Even with helpful stars in the columns, unavoidable injury and damage exist.
Pei Wanmu could not but admire his own sharp eye; among these ten disciples hid a disaster star, undiscovered until calculating for the chosen closed-door disciple, who knows how long it would have taken otherwise~
As for not taking action, it was because a Prosperity Star descended, clinging closely to the disaster star, restraining the disasters from spreading.
In other words, the disaster star has a nemesis in the Prosperity Star suppressing it, preventing casualties thus far.
Strangely, Pei Wanmu, after years of divination, encountered such a situation for the first time.
Yesterday, he cast several oracles, finding the Prosperity Star was non-existent before but appeared out of nowhere the previous year.
This also explains why, upon discovering the disaster star, he did not stop the Little Princess and Little Prince from associating with Shen Chen, with the Prosperity Star suppressing it, the problem wasn’t big.
As long as the Prosperity Star is present in the Daqing Dynasty, it can suppress it.
Drained from the divination, Pei Wanmu decided to go have a good sleep.
Before sleeping, he glanced at the emerald drapery, wondering why the friend he’d contacted via carrier pigeon to treat the Little Princess’s eyes had not yet arrived.
Moments later, the man, his face like jade, drifted into a dream.
