Feng Tianlan raised her eyebrows and smiled, a flippant yet domineering attitude showing on her face as she said, “Mobai and my future never depends on fate.”
Their future was in her and Mobai’s hands, so they would not have their fortune foretold.
The state preceptor raised his hands to put the chessboard away. He then took out the crystal ball ND put it in front of her. His hand waved gently, and a scene played out, reflected in the snow-white crystal ball like an image.
Feng Tianlan looked at the image inside the crystal ball. As the development of the plot progressed, she could not help but turn pale. Her casually placed hands also clenched involuntarily. Her breathing became tight, which caused pain in her heart, making it difficult to breathe.
The red-colored image completely disappeared.
The state preceptor put away the crystal ball and looked at Feng Tianlan, saying, “Everything has a cause and an effect. You have to give up something to gain something. It is fate. Miss Feng, do not force things.”
Feng Tianlan’s awareness gradually came back as her mind left that red-colored image. Looking at the sage-like state preceptor sitting opposite her, she relaxed her clenched fist after a long time. Her tightened breath gradually slowed down.
“Mine and Mobai’s happiness has only ever laid in our own hands. It is not up to fate. If it is, as long as Mobai and I still love each other, I will also go against that fate,” she said.
Haughtiness and supremacy showed fully in her face. The state preceptor just smiled and said, “If you force your will, you will only lose more.”
“I didn’t ask for anything. Why did the state preceptor deliberately show me this scene? Perhaps you want to drive a wedge between my relationship with Mobai?” Feng Tianlan said, lifting her eyes to look coldly at the state preceptor.
“Miss Feng will know in the future.” The state preceptor did not want to say much more.
Feng Tianlan stared at him for a long time before saying, “I’m asking you. What did the Crown Prince want, coming here? And what does he know?”
This was the reason why she came to Jialan Hall; not to see that heart-wrenching scene just now. Although that image was distressing, it was just that in the end, an image, because she passionately believed in Mobai.
“I cannot reveal that. If Miss Feng has nothing to ask for, you can leave.” The state preceptor calmly gave notice for his guest to leave. It was clear that he could not give her the answer she was looking for. He continued, saying, “Jialan Hall will always welcome Miss Feng if she has something to ask for in the future.”
Feng Tianlan fixed her gaze on him. Seeing that he remained unmoved, she then got up and said, “In that case, I thank the state preceptor.”
Shen Yunya came from the East Palace and ended up catching sight of Feng Tianlan walking out of Jialan Hall from afar. She frowned and intuitively hid in a corner, watching the gradually Feng Tianlan from behind. She was full of questions and said to herself, “What is she doing here?”
Feng Tianlan slightly turned her head back and glanced at the spot where the corner was. She gave a cold laugh and did not pay it any heed. She then left Jialan Hall.
Shen Yunya waited until Feng Tianlan’s figure disappeared before she came out from the corner and walked into Jialan Hall. It was different from the inner hall where Feng Tianlan had been just now. This was an outer hall with ordinary decor. Unlike the open-air inner hall, carved with various runes, no portraits were hung on this wall.
“State preceptor,” Shen Yunya quickly cupped her hands and respectfully called out when the state preceptor came out.
The state preceptor glance at her indifferently and asked, “Miss Shen, what brings you here?”
“It’s with regards to the matter from three years ago. State preceptor, you are so powerful, so you must know Shen Qingdai has reincarnated in another body and returned to Xuantian Continent.” Shen Yunya never beat around the bush when she talked to him because she felt like he was a kindred spirit.
“So, what about it?” The state preceptor’s expression was indifferent. His attitude towards the two people was like night and day.
