Chapter 935: Chapter 935: Proficient in Everything
“Xuexue, you girl have finally co out, hurry over here, daddy is introducing you to a distinguished guest.” Situ Yongjie felt a sigh of relief when he finally saw his eldest daughter appear.
Indeed, the Heavenly Master is no ordinary person. Skilled in divination and fortune-telling, he is a favorite of The Emperor, and must not be offended.
In her past life, Xuexue had t Celestial Master Zhang, a man proficient in all aspects of divination and fortune-telling. His only flaw was his lechery.
Using a beauty trap, the Fourth Prince had easily swayed him to his side, to work for his cause.
Such a man, who could betray even his own Master, was certainly not a good person, and Xuexue had no good feelings towards him.
“Father, Xuexue is late, please forgive ,” Situtu Xueer approached Situ Yongjie and offered a greeting.
“It’s not a big deal to daddy, but today we have a distinguished guest.” Situ Yongjie, beaming with joy, appeared extrely pleased.
“Oh?”
Xuexue deliberately acted as if she had just noticed Celestial Master Zhang: “Father, this guest is…?”
Before Situ Yongjie could respond, Celestial Master Zhang had already stood up. His eyes sparkled as he looked at Xuexue, and while stroking his beard, he said with a smiling face, “Miss, may you always be well. I am the only Heavenly Master from Moli Country, surnad Zhang.”
“Oh! So, it’s Celestial Master Zhang. I apologize for my rudeness,” Xuexue replied with a cold politeness.
Despite his lecherous nature, this man was truly talented. With many secrets to her own na, she did not want too much interaction with him, lest she make a grave error.
With an indifferent expression, Xuexue watched as Celestial Master Zhang, a wise man himself, quickly shifted the topic to the matter at hand.
“I have just returned to the capital, and having heard that Miss has also returned to the General’s Mansion not long ago, I have specially prepared a modest gift for Miss.” Saying this, he opened the gift box in his hand.
Inside lay a ticulously crafted glazed pendant, obviously of great value.
Even Situ Yongjie was taken aback by the extravagance of the gift at a first eting.
“Celestial Master, the gift is too valuable, I cannot accept it.”
“It is of no consequence, they are but re possessions. Miss need not worry,” Celestial Master Zhang replied with a light smile, “Though the object may not be pricey, this pendant has been blessed by myself. Wearing it can ward off evil and avert calamity.”
As he spoke, Celestial Master Zhang glanced aningfully around the room. Common people might not see it, but he, as a Heavenly Master, could see clearly – the General’s Mansion was filled with vengeful spirits, where a slight misfortune could lead to being haunted by evil spirits.
Upon hearing what the Celestial Master said, Xuexue was even less willing to accept.
Tao Hong was still on her! If she took this item, wouldn’t it be the end of her?
“Heavenly Master, I am not fond of wearing ornants, please keep it yourself,” Xuexue flatly refused.
“This…”
Celestial Master Zhang, with his outstretched hand, did not know whether to retract it or continue offering the gift, and his expression turned sowhat awkward.
Seeing this, Situ Yongjie could no longer sit still. He reached out and snatched the pendant from Celestial Master Zhang’s hand: “Celestial Master, rest assured, I will definitely have my daughter wear it.”
“That would be best!”
Celestial Master Zhang picked up his teacup and took a small sip, “I have heard that Miss has a large tiger; is this true?”
Xuexue nodded, “Of course it’s true.”
“Ever since I was a child, I’ve been particularly fond of tigers, but due to my frail health, I couldn’t beco a Hunter and naturally have never seen a real tiger. Miss, would you be willing to let your tiger out for , the Mage, to have a look?”
