The Rebirth of the Malicious Empress of Military Lineage

Chapter 165: Phoenix Destiny (Part 1)

Luo Xue Yan jumped in shock. She did not know why Su Furen said such terrifying words suddenly and her heart thought, it was just marriage it was not like female being fearful of taking a wrong step in life and Su Ming Feng’s talents and looks were displayed for all to see so it was natural to be more picky. However seeing Su Furen’s distressed appearance, she still comforted, “This is nothing. Furen do not need to worry too much, our residence’s Qiu-er ist still like this till now without a wife. One must pick a wife well, a hasty heart would not get to eat hot tofu. If one were to hastily pick one for him and afterwards realise that it is not suitable, it would be harmful for self and others.”

“Furen really said it correctly.” Su Furen took Luo Xue Yan’s hands and said with a smile, “I had initially thought that children would have the fortune of children. But Ming Feng, this child, is a closed mouth gourd and would not tell me a single thing so I am unable to know his thoughts at all.”

When Luo listened halfheartedly. She had seen Su Ming Feng before and he had a good sense of eloquence that could debate with a group of students. Su Furen really dared to say that he has a close mouth gourd. She was really unwilling to talk about other family’s matter with Su Furen and changed the topic, “Su Furen do not want to know how to raise this sparrow?”

Su Furen took a glance at the two sparrows in the cage but pretended not to have heard it and continued, “It is better to talk about my unworthy son.”

Luo Xue Yan, “...”

“Ming Feng originally liked a painting that his Father had found and afterwards other paintings were not acceptable to him. Those that other people gave, he would not even take a look at it but that painting was gifted to others by his Father, thus Ming Feng thought about it for many years.” Su Furen sighed, “Ming Feng is one who has unchanging emotions and the things that he fancies are of the best. It is because of that after fancying it, he would not be willing to settle for others.”

Luo Xue Yan bewildered when she heard Su Furen voice, “It is the same for females. Once he likes a Young Lady, other young ladies would no longer be able to enter his heart.”

Luo Xue Yan suddenly understood and smiled, “So Su Young Master already have a sweetheart. One do not know which family’s young lady has such good fortune.”

This words was just polite words and one had not thought that Su Furen was waiting for this sentence and immediately clapped her hands, “It is this noble residence’s Young Lady.”

Luo Xue Yan’s face turned from green to white and from white to green suddenly.

Feeling were sent right to the doors and then turned into a corner and currently waiting for her response. Luo Xue Yan was thinking that the other party came with a pair of birds in a cage but did not even speak a word about the bird and kept on praising about what one’s son did. Suddenly she understood.

This was coming to seek marriage.

Su Furen saw from Luo Xue Yan’s expression that she was not very happy and her heart became worried. She knew that the Shen family had a big career and business that the Su family’s little inheritance would not be able to enter their eyes. Moreover there were no short of families in Ding capital like the Su family, were willing to be in-laws with the Shen family and she did not see one bit of the rumored idiotic vulgar young lady. Just a dignified appearance that had a sense of propriety, was suitable to be married back and be the matriarch of the family. One was very satisfied internally and externally and now it was to see the Shen family’s attitude.

Luo Xue Yan’s face became cold, “Su Furen came here today because of this?”

Su Furen was somewhat stunned. She knew that it was wrong to take a look at one’s daughter-in-law this way but she still said, “Shen Furen, don’t be angry first. I know that I am abrupt today but you are also a mother and should be able to understand my mind.”

Luo Xue Yan’s expression slowly returned. Today when Su Furen came over, her attitude was indeed good and one did not reach out to beat a person who smiles thus she said, “Without any cause or reason, why did Su Furen came over to talk about this?” Luo Xue Yan’s heart jumped. Could it be that Shen Miao and Su Ming Feng had secretly given one another things? Even though Ming Qi’s customs were relatively open, it was not a glorious thing to privately give each other promise without both families knowledge.

Su Furen said, “I heard Ming Lang said that Ming Feng secretly liked Fifth Young Lady. Initally I also did not believe it as this son of mine has a wooden brain and till now was not gotten close to any young lady. I also did not know what kind of person Fifth Young Lady was thus I came over today. After seeing Fifth Young Lady today, one finally understood why Ming Feng liked her. Such a good appearance and character and her bearing was not at all inferior. I guess in the entire Ming Qi, only the Shen family could raise such a young lady. Not to hide from Shen Furen, not only Ming Feng, I too is very fond of her, thus one could not wait to talk to Furen about this matter. I know that Furen is a straightforward person and likes to go straight at things thus, one did not go around it.”

The words said were extremely sincere and also praised Shen Miao without a trace. As a mother, how would one not like one’s children being praised? Of course Luo Xue Yan’s expression got a little better. But how would Shen Miaos marriage be settled with just one sentence? First the Shen family’s position in Ming Qi was special and it was not idea if the in-law’s power were higher or lower thus it was really difficult for one to decide on Shen Miao’s marriage. Second was that even though Su Ming Feng’s reputation was rather good outside but a few years back he was ill and thus did not enter officialdom. Luo Xue Feng was not willing to let Shen Miao marry a sick person. Moreover Luo Xue Yan had not seen Su Ming Feng before thus she did not know anything about his character. The third and most important point was that Su Ming Feng liked Shen Miao but one did not know if Shen Miao liked Su Ming Feng or not. Luo Xue Yan was an open minded mother and even though parents’ would make the decision for children’s marriages, Luo Xue Yan wanted Shen Miao to live happily and she had to like her own husband. Thus one could not make such a casual decision.

“One’s daughter’s marriage would not be fixed in a short time.” Luo Xue Yan smiled, “I have to represent my Master and thank Furen’s and Gentleman’s fondness. It is just that in the process of marriage selection, there are many considerations and in such a short time, I would not be able to give Furen an answer as one feared it would need to be taken into consideration for some days. Just like what Furen mentioned, everyone are mothers and having a mother’s heart, one would dote on one’s children and hope Furen would understand.” Luo Xue Yan did not dare to say any extreme words and left some room.

This had made Su Furen extremely satisfied and after speaking a little more, Su Furen then left.

After Su Furen left, Luo Xue Yan’s gaze then became solemn and was somewhat heavy.

For a long time, Luo Xue Yan and Shen Xin had felt that Shen Miao was young of age and it was not a rush for marriage. However Su Furen coming to the residence to seek marriage had reminded Luo Xue Yan that at this age, Shen Miao could be engaged.

But who were the young handsome talents of Ding capital? Luo Xue Yan planned to wait for Shen Xin to return before discussing about this matter with him. Also she would let someone make a list for her so that she could go and check them out.

*****

When Su Furen returned to the Su residences, Master Su for the first time did not went fishing or bird teasing and obediently stayed in the room. Upon seeing Su Furen’s return, she quickly went forward to knead her shoulders and instructed the maids to pour some tea. Master Su was like a mouse who saw a cat when he looked at Su Furen and the servants around them were no stranger to it. Master Su asked, “How is it? What did Shen Furen say?”

“Did not agree but also did not disagree. Ought to think about it again.” Su Furen said, “After all I went over hastily without careful consideration today and acted impudently to others. Moreover the Shen family is not an ordinary family so it is not a bad thing to think about it longer.”

“Still need to think.” Su Yu grimace with displeasure, “What is there to think about?”

Su Furen found it funny, “Could it be that you think that they would agree when I made the trip today?”

“Why not agree?” Su Yu asked, “What is wrong with Ming Feng? In this Ding capital, how can one find a second young handsome talent like Ming Feng? Whichever young lady that marry to Ming Feng would have blessings that was accumulated from one’s past life.” After finished speaking, he thought of something, “Wait a while. How is that Fifth Shen Young Lady?”

Finally he remembered to ask about this matter. The last time Master Su saw Shen Miao, it was during the Palace banquet and he felt that Shen Miao was not bad, it was just that her character was too strong. However it was not accurate for a male to judge a female and it was always better for female to take a look at female. Thus Su Furen would step in and take a look a this ‘potential daughter-in-law’. Su Yu wanted to hear Su Furen’s opinion of Shen Miao.

Su Furen drank a mouthful of tea and said, “Ming Feng’s foresight is indeed not bad. I see that this Fifth Shen Young Lady is better than most of the well-bred young ladies in Ding capital. One do not need to say about the temperament since it is taught by Shen Xin, the character would not be that bad. That bearing was indeed rare and seemed to be like a noble person from the Palace. However there was just one point which was one fear that Ming Feng would not be able to tamed such a young lady like this. But it is also good. Ming Feng has a gentle character and with a stronger Furen to be the matriarch of the family, then this residence can be managed properly. This is excellent.”

Su Yu rarely heard Su Furen praised a person like this and a whispered appeared in his heart. Wasn’t it said that when a mother-in-law sees the daughter-in-law, one would be very picky? Could it be that his Furen is too gentle and soft?

Su Ming Feng just came back from outside and just about to take a step into the main hall when the corner of his clothes was held back by someone. Upon turning around, it was Su Ming Lang.

Su Ming Lang looked at him seriously, “Eldest Brother you cannot go in now to stir up a row else if would impact your lifelong matter.”

“My lifelong matter?” Su Ming Feng was puzzled, “What of my lifelong matter?”

“Oh? Today I heard Older Sister Jin Feng saying to people beside that Mother went to take a look at a wife for you.” Su Ming Lang said.

Su Ming Feng was shocked when he heard it, “What take a look for a wife? Who?”

Su Ming Lang said, “Isn’t it the Older Sister of the Shen family?”

“Mother went to the Shen family to look for a wife for me?” Su Ming Feng’s voice raise higher.

Su Ming Lang jumped in shock and said resentfully like hating iron for not becoming steel, “It is just marrying a wife. In the future when Older Shen Sister becomes my Eldest Sao, she would also not be about to watch you being like this.” He then patted Su Ming Feng’s arms, “I really envious of you.”

*****

On the surface the matter of the Su family coming over to the Shen mansion to look for a wife for Su Ming Feng, looked as though no one knew but in fact there were a number of insiders that knew of it. Shen Xin and Luo Xue Yan discussed about it for a while and seriously started to discuss about the young handsome talents in the Ding capital. They even discussed if they needed to let Shen Miao participate a few flower banquets and stuff and Shen Xin even let Shen Qiu pay attention to the youths in the capital that were of the same age as him.

Such a big movement from the Shen mansion, if the residence of Prince Rui did not know about it, it would not be acceptable.

Once Xie Jing Xing returned to the residence of Prince Rui, he faced Ji Yu Shu’s provocation. One did not know how he was able to con over the information that Cong Yang sent back and jumped around waving the letter, “Third Older Brother, the Su family people had already came to the doors and proposed marriage. What are you still waiting for?” After pausing, he then continued, “Still not heading to look for Su Ming Feng’s trouble?”

Gao Yang had some worried look on his face, “Su Furen has a good reputation in the Ding capital and has a good relation with many Furens. The Su family’s reputation is also not bad so if Shen Xin finds that Su Ming Feng is good, he could agree to this marriage.”

Xie Jing Xing swept a glance at the letter and understood the contents of the letter and only felt his head ache.

The things that Su Ming Feng did was still relatively safe so why would one have a pair of parents who were so far off that now even went up to propose marriage? They may even do more shocking things.

Moreover Ji Yu Shu was still igniting fire at one side and had an angry face on, “What a good Su Ming Feng. In the beginning when he was with Third Older Brother claiming to be sworn brothers and have so many years of friendship. Now that Third Older Brother’s identity has changed, he secretly started to undermine. Indeed one schemes is really deep. One always said that to know how strong a horse is, make it rung a long way and to get to know a man well, one must spend a long time with him. This Su Ming Feng is actually this kind of person. Third Older Brother, end your friendship with him.”

Gao Yang could not carry on listening to Ji Yu Shu’s nonsense and said, “It is better now to look for another way. Su family’s matter is small but the matter of the Shen family that have already started to look for husbands for Fifth Shen Young Lady is big. We do not have much time in Ming Qi so it is better to resolve the matters that you want to do.”

When those words were said, Xie Jing Xing looked cold.

Ji Yu Shu had not notice it yet and instead was hit upon an inspiration, “I have an idea.”

The few people looked towards him as Ji Yu Shu said, “Since Third Older Brother is a dead person in their eyes, why not pretend to be a ghost at night and pretend to give Su Ming Feng a dream at night. Just say that Shen Young Lady is the person that Third Older Brother fancied and wanted Mohave ghost marriage with. Su Ming Feng would be scared and naturally would not have any ideas on Fifth Shen Young Lady... Third Older Brother, don’t leave. Listen to what I say.”

Gao Yang shook his head and sighed before spitting out a word, “Stupid.”

When Xie Jing Xing returned to the study, he sat down in front of the table. His brows were locked tight and one did not know what he was thinking about. Tie Yi who was beside him asked hesitantly, “Master, today in Pu Tuo Monastery, Grand Master Guan Zhen spoke of...”

Gand Master Guan Zhen was a wondering monk. Some people said he was from Great Liang, some said that he was from Qin country and there were even people who said that he was from Ming Qi. But the one think that one could be sure was that once Grand Master Guan Zhen came to a monastery, everyone would referred to him as the honoured guest. Grand Master Guan Zhen had gained the teachings of the direct disciple of the Buddha and it was said that he knew the past and future of a person. This was naturally somewhat exaggerated but Grand Master Guan Zhen prediction of the future was extremely accurate as he once predicted that there would be a flood in Great Liang.

Emperor Yong Le had once tried to retain Grand Master Guan Zhen as a Teacher of the Country but unfortunately Grand Master Guan Zhen declined. Two years ago when Xie Jing Xing returned to Great Liang, Emperor Yong Le really wanted to find Grand Master Guan Zhen to take a look at Xie Jing Xing’s fortune but unfortunately Grand Master Guan Zhen had traveled out of Great Liang and no one knew of his existence.

One did not expect that they would be encountering here.

During the daytime when they reached Pu Tuo Monastery, Xie Jing Xing had not yet said anything when Grand Master Guan Zhen guessed his identity. One did not know how did he guessed it out and Xie Jing Xing’s prophecy was as such. The army broke the crape-myrtle, the fierce dragon overcome the Heavens. Using one’s entire life for the entire situation.

The meaning of it was that Xie Jing Xing was a very important person that he a single person could change the entire situation. The army broke the crape-myrtle meant that first breakthrough then establish, grace and power would be combined. When Xie Jing Xing was in Ming Qi, he claimed to be the heir of the residence of the Marquis of Lin An and afterwards died in battle, thus the breakthrough. Afterwards with the identity of Great Liang’s Prince Rui, he had once again stood in front of everyone, which meant establishing. As for the fierce dragon overcome the Heavens, since dragons were the head of all living things, it was unfortunate that it was a fierce dragon that was vicious and savage.

Xie Jing Xing asked about fated calamity.

However Grand Master Guan Zhen shook his head and said that the fierce Drago was not a calamity and would help others to cross a fated calamity.

When Xie Jing Xing asked more, Grand Master Guan Zhen said that the mysteries of Heavens must not be revealed and was not willing to say another word.

Tie Yi was somewhat discourage. It was so difficult to get Grand Master Guan Zhen to take a look at one’s fortune but the words he said were very vague. Thinking of his master having a character of being indifferent to everything, the fierce dragon was not a calamity but one that help to overcome a calamity, it sounded like his Master had became a Bodhisattva. Who would have such a great of a reputation to let his Master be that person backing? Even if this person dared, would Master be willing?

Xie Jing Xing said, “Don’t care about this. First send the letter back to Great Liang.”

His expression was somewhat cold.

*****

Shen Miao could not sleep on her bed.

The words from Cong Yang in the afternoon were still lingering by her ears. She had never thought that Su Furen purpose of coming to the Shen mansion was to seek a match for Su Ming Feng.

Thinking of Cong Yang’s wooden face as he repeated each and every single word of both of their conversation for her to listen, especially when a grown man using female’s speech patterns and saying ‘we are all mothers’, Shen Miao felt that it was funny. Xie Jing Xing was indeed a talent, one did not know where did he found such a precious secret guard.

However after thinking about it, she was unable to smile anymore. Why did Su Furen come to seek a match for Su Ming Feng? From Cong Yang’s words, Su Ming Feng have deep emotions for Shen Miao and this was something that Shen Miao would never believe. Not to mention, Su Ming Feng had only seen her a few times and at that encounter on the streets, there was nothing special when Su Ming Feng looked at her.

Could it be that this was a conspiracy by Su Ming Feng? Shen Miao thought that because Su Ming Feng wanted to know about the secret of the Tiger Head Bracelet, so he decided to marry her and since one would keep on heading the direction, wouldn’t one be able to head to the truth? Or could it be that when she had become his wife, she would then tell him the truth about it? But it would be just too disadvantageous for Su Ming Feng. In order to find out about the truth, he even thrown the rest of his life in. Those people in the Investigation Office should be so ashamed that they could not face their fathers and forefathers.

Gu Yu walked in from outside and held a stack of clothes in her hands as she smiled, “Young Lady, as one is heading to Pu Tuo Monastery tomorrow, Furen had said to wear some lighter colours so this servant had brought over some lighter coloured clothes so that Young Lady can pick to wear tomorrow morning.” After saying, she then help Shen Miao cut the wick in the oil lamp, “Young Lady should rest early today as one needs to wake up early tomorrow as there is a long journey.”

Thinking of this matter, Shen Miao very helpless. During the night Luo Xue Yan’s maid came over to say to Luo Tan and Shen Miao that the three of them would be heading up to Pu Tuo Monastery to offer incense. Luo Tan had not been to Pu Tuo Monastery so naturally she was very happy but Shen Miao was lacking in interest.

Pu Tuo Monastery was considered a famous monastery in Ding capital city and it sits on the waist of a mounting in the northern part of the city. It was said that the Buddha was especially effective and the most spiritual thing was the ‘Tree of Cultivating Destinies’. Young Females would use a copper coin to exchange for some red ropes with the monks at the monastery and would tie a pouch at one end and throw it up the three. If the red ropes with the pouch hung onto the tree and not thrown down, than it would meant that the Old Man of the Moon had heard the female’s prayers and would find a good marriage match for the female.

Shen Miao had went to that ‘Tree of Cultivating Destinies’ in her past lifetime and in order to form a connection with Fu Xiu Yi, she even bought a hundred red ropes a one time to throw up. After words this matter was ‘accidentally’ mentioned by Shen Qing and Shen Yue and became a joke in the Ding capital for a long time.

Thus Shen Miao did not like this ‘Tree of Cultivating Destinies’ very much.

If she did not listen to Su Furen’s and Luo Xue Yan’s conversation today, Shen Miao would not think much of it and would only fell that it was coming to the end of the year and Luo Xue Yan only wanted to offer incense. However after knowing the conversation in the main hall, Shen Miao understood that it was not that Luo Xue Yan wanted to offer incense but she was obviously wanted to bring her to the ‘Tree of Cultivating Destinies’ to throw a red rope onto it.

Shen Miao was filled with unwillingness in her head and was even think whether to pretend to be sick but it was just too deliberate looking. Moreover Luo Tan’s interest was soaring and Shen Miao’s heart was easily soften by Luo Tan and thinking that it was only to throw a red rope, she then complied.

It was just that there was still a bit of discomfort in her heart.

On this night, Shen Miao did not sleep well at all. She dream several times in the night and in the dreams, she was standing below the Tree of Cultivating Destinies and throwing the red ropes. Luo Xue Yan had bought her an entire barrel of them and Shen Miao threw so much that her arms were sore but those red ropes that had her markings had all disappeared. There were non on the floor or on the tree and just as she was in doubt, she saw that a purple clad youth was sitting on the tree and there was a bundle of her red ropes in his arms. His lips were hooked up in a smile but not a smile at her and asked, “Who do you want to marry to?”

That sharp brows, straight nose, red lips and pair of gorgeous peach blossoms eyes were as sharp as knives. It was Xie Jing Xing’s face.

When Shen Miao woke up from her dreams in shock, she was just unable to sleep after that.

With great difficulty, she managed to last till the skies brighten and when Jing Zhe came in, she jumped in shock and asked, “Why did Young Lady not sleep well during the night? One’s eyes is green already.”

Shen Miao waved her hands and only felt that this dream was bizarre and had a little bit of shamelessness so she did not speak anything about it. After eating and washing up, she then left the room and Luo Xue Yan and the rest were already waiting. What was surprising was that other than Luo Tan, Shen Qiu and Luo Ling were also going.

Luo Xue Yan said, “Since it is to offer incense, then the younger generation should all go and ask for a blessing from Buddha.”

Shen Xin said, “Then I will also go along.”

“You go for what?” Luo Xue Yan hated that he did not understand her meaningful glance, “You should not go.”

Shen Qiu was wondering why his Father couldn’t go but Shen Miao’s heart understood. Luo Xue Yan not only want her and Luo Tan throw the red ropes. Most likely she wanted Shen Qiu and Luo Ling to also throw it since both of them had reached the age to marry. However... Wasn’t the Tree of Cultivating Destinies only for the females to throw? If their ropes really hung from it then could it be that Shen Qiu and Luo Ling would be cut sleeves? Shen Miao could not help but shivered.

There was not much delay as everyone quickly got on the road. The distance between Pu Tuo Monastery and the Shen mansion was rather far away thus it would be near noon when one reach even though one set off in the morning. Luo Tan’s mood rose during the journey and kept asking Luo Xue Yan if Pu Tuo Monastery was really that mystical.

The more Luo Xue Yan spoke, the conversation led towards that ‘Tree of Cultivating Destinies’. After Luo Tan heard the information about the Tree of Cultivating Destinies, she felt it was interesting and said, “This is somewhat similar to the customs of our Xiao Chun City. However Pu Tuo Monastery is a famous monastery and this tree should be very spiritual.” She shook Shen Miao’s shoulder, “Youngest Biao Sister, how about we go and throw the red ropes?”

“Aren’t you not a rush to marry?” Shen Miao looked at her with squinted eyes.

Luo Tan coughed lightly twice, “Even it is said as such, but one should do as the natives do.”

Luo Xue Yan also said, “Jiao Jiao, Tan-er, upon reaching Pu Tuo Monastery, both of you should also go and cast the red ropes, no matter if one marry or not, one can always ask for a good omen.”

Luo Tan excitedly complied. Shen Miao had long knew about her Mother’s plans and could only obey helplessly.

However at their side, they were on route but in the old monastery that had existed in Ming Qi for hundreds of years, in a particular room where the incense was thick, there sat an old monk.

The old monk’s brows were kind, just like one of the disciples under Buddha. He had a red cloak on and holding a string of Buddhist beads as he twist it in his fingers.

The young monk beside him asked, “Master, we have been waiting here for a number of days, will the destine one really come?”

“This poor monk has been waiting for many days and it is for the person to come.” The old monk said lightly.

“But one have waited for a long time.” That young monk was only a teenager and was the age where he was full of curiosity so he quickly said, “When will one arrive?”

The old monk did not say anything and only silently turn the Buddhist beads in his hands. Suddenly the Buddhist beads that he was turning stopped and his fingers stared to stroke a round bead repeated.

After a long time, the old monk smiled slightly.

“Reaching.” He said.

*****

When Shen Miao and entourage reached Pu Tuo Monastery, it was not yet noon. Perhaps the horses today ran with all their strength today or perhaps it was the coachman that steered well or perhaps the roads were much smoother. In short, the two and half shichen (1 shichen = 2 hours) of journey had taken less than two shichen today.

The few of them jumped off the carriage and Shen Qiu and Luo Ling also flipped over the horse. They then saw that there was an old monastery in the lushed woods, at the waist of the mountain. Because of the layers of clouds surrounding, it was as if they were in an immortal place. In addition to the distant Buddhist sounds that sounded from afar, it made one feel a sense of awe.

Luo Tan exclaimed, “It is really an air of a famous monastery.”

Luo Xue Yan instructed, “Qiu-er and Ling-er, both of you go and handle the horses first. I will bring Tan-er and Jiao Jiao in.”

After Shen Qiu and Luo Ling left, the guards of the Shen residence followed Shen Miao and entourage. Luo Tan saw a tree filled with hanging red ropes from afar and said, “Is that the Tree of Cultivating Destinies? Youngest Gu, come quickly and see. It is so big.”

Luo Xue Yan smiled, “Let’s go and buy the red ropes first.”

Shen Miao followed behind both of them, feeling helpless in her heart. Luo Tan ran quickly and Luo Xue Yan had a fiery temperament thus Shen Miao was left behind. However with the Shen residence’s guards and the hidden Cong Yang, Shen Miao was not at all worried.

After following Luo Xue Yan into a Buddhist temple, the corner of Shen Miao’s skirt was suddenly pulled. She turned back and saw that by the side of the temple, there was a person in an taoist attire crouching by the side.

In the location of a Buddhist temple, how would there be a Taoist practitioner?

This Taoist priest’s clothes were torn and tattered and was only holding a fortune cylinder and a horsetail whisk on his hand. One did not know why but he looked comical. He was probably forty years of age and had a small moustache as he gazed at Shen Miao.

“Young Lady, this poor Taoist see that one’s ophryon (top of the nose bridge connecting to the eye brows) is dark and fear that there would be a calamity of blood. The funds of the eyes are green, indicating difficulties in marriage (or romance) Why not let this poor Taoist help you to do a fortune reading?”

“Where does this madman come from. Full of nonsense.” Jing Zhe was furious.

Shen Miao lifted the corner of her skirt and wanted to head forward without looking.

However she heard that person said, “Even though a Phoenix destiny is good. It is a pity to be imprison for a lifetime.”
