Chapter 936: Chapter 936: Heartbreak
Upon hearing this, Xuexue was surprised and beca wary of Celestial Master Zhang.
“Unfortunately, just two days ago, when I took the tiger out to the outskirts for fun, we passed through a deep mountain. Suddenly, a few deer ran by and the tiger, excited, chased after them at lightning speed. I couldn’t catch up at all, and in the blink of an eye, the tiger disappeared from my sight, and since then, it has never been found again. I was heartbroken over this, unable to eat or drink all day!” Xuexue said while sadly lowering her head and vigorously wiping her eyes with a handkerchief, looking sorrowful.
Celestial Master Zhang was stunned for a mont. How could it be such a coincidence that the tiger was lost just as he arrived?
Situ Yongjie also hurriedly said, “Heavenly Master, it’s true. A few days ago, when my daughter went to the outskirts, she ca back saying that the tiger had been lost. Because of this, she hasn’t eaten or drunk for days!”
Situ Yongjie really helped at the right mont, his explanation adding more convincing power. Xuexue was secretly pleased, kept her head down, crying louder, and said mournfully, “Exactly, the tiger is my precious treasure, how could it just disappear? Dad, I don’t care, I will go look for the tiger in a few days!”
Upon hearing this, Situ Yongjie imdiately scolded, “As a young lady, to roam around all day for a tiger, what is the propriety in that? Besides, no matter what, the tiger is just an animal. Since it has already gone, how can it be found again?”
Xuexue had red eyes, looking like she wanted to cry, “I don’t care, I want to find it.”
Situ Yongjie looked helplessly at Celestial Master Zhang, “Heavenly Master, look at this girl of mine. Whenever she talks about the tiger, she becos like this; truly, there’s nothing I can do about her.”
Their father-daughter conversation was heard by Celestial Master Zhang, who couldn’t tell whether they were telling the truth or not.
He ca to the General’s Mansion specifically for the tiger today, and if they just dismissed him with a few words, he was sowhat unwilling, but he couldn’t openly say it.
“Today is my first visit to the General’s Mansion, and I found that there’s a heavy Yin Energy in the house. General Situ, if you trust , I can co another day to look at the feng shui and change your fate, what do you think?” Celestial Master Zhang planned to use a roundabout strategy. After all, they said that the tiger was gone, and if he still insisted, it would raise suspicions. To avoid trouble, he decided to switch tactics and continue to search secretly in the General’s Mansion.
Because searching for the Thousand Year Spotted Tiger must not be obvious, it can only be done secretly.
Situ Yongjie, being a military man, does not believe in feng shui and such, considering them to be fabrications by street swindlers just to make a living.
However, Celestial Master Zhang is no ordinary person; he is a favorite of The Emperor and the only Heavenly Master in Moli Country, who should not be openly offended.
“Good, good, it’s my honor.” Situ Yongjie smiled and laughed along.
Obviously, he didn’t take the serious Yin Energy ntioned by Celestial Master Qian to heart.
Celestial Master Zhang reached his goal, and not minding the subtleties, he stood up and said, “General Situ, I shall take my leave now and will return another day with the proper tools to examine the feng shui.”
“Good, good! I appreciate it, Heavenly Master!” Situ Yongjie politely said, “I’ll escort you out.”
Celestial Master Zhang made a gesture, “Please.”
Xuexue stood up from her seat, still looking dispirited and lifeless, “Heavenly Master, have a safe journey! I won’t see you out far.”
“Hmm!” Celestial Master Zhang glanced at her, nodded lightly, and walked side by side with Situ Yongjie towards the outside.
