It’s hard to break a phoenix’s destiny

Chapter 692: Divination is not a happy thing

The candlelight flickered, and Yang Xianrong's eyes showed a little hesitation. But in the end, she shook her head and said softly, "Now that I have lived to this age, I don't want to know so much anymore."

"You are only 34 years old now, and you have a long life ahead of you. Why don't you ask?" Xu Henian's hands trembled slightly in his sleeves.

"What do you want to ask?" Yang Xianrong asked him, "Ask me if I am destined to be rich and powerful? Or ask me if I am destined to be an empress? Or ask me if I can give birth to a son? Aren't there already answers to these questions? So, what else are you asking? Besides, everyone says that I am destined to be a phoenix. I have been an empress for six times. I guess there is no other woman in the world who can have such a fate as mine, right?"

Although Yang Xianrong tried her best to maintain a calm tone, one could still hear her helplessness, self-mockery, and even a little bit of detachment.

Xu Henian lowered his eyes, feeling very sad.

Before leaving the mountain, Master Xu looked at him for a long time before saying, "Choose one person and do one thing. At the beginning, Sima Yan and I were monarch and subject, good friends, and fellow Taoists, so I promised to protect his foolish son. But I don't know whether it is right or wrong to let you protect this Phoenix-born woman? Perhaps, this is why you still cannot be misled until now?"

"I can't concentrate because I'm worried." Xu Henian replied, "Master, I'm really worried."

"Then go." Master Xu just sighed and turned around to go into seclusion.

Before Xu Henian went down the mountain, he had another fortune-telling, but still nothing changed.

Now sitting opposite Yang Xianrong, looking at her glowing face, my heart aches even more. Is this her happiest moment? She is away from all the disputes and has a good man who loves her. However, does she know that her phoenix fate is wealth, glory, and backlash?

"What? Am I a little too arrogant?" Yang Xianrong's voice rang in his ears again, bringing his thoughts back.

"You... just grew up." Xu Henian pursed his lips, raised his eyes to look at her, and said as if he had made up his mind, "It's okay. Even if there is something, don't be afraid. I'm here."

"So, you came here this time because something bad might happen to me?" Yang Xianrong asked immediately, "Will Liu Yao be in trouble?"

"His life has long been linked to yours."

"So?" Yang Xianrong was still obviously panicked, "What's the matter? Don't hide it from me."

"You don't believe it, do you?" Xu Henian forced a smile, trying to ease the atmosphere. But he found that since he had already solved the mystery of fate, he could not hide it from Yang Xianrong.

In her clear eyes, he could only tell her the hexagram. "I read the hexagram for you every year. In the past, everything went smoothly without any danger. But this spring, I read the hexagram for you, and it was the Gou hexagram. This means gathering and separation..."

"We gather at times, but we disperse without end." Yang Xianrong could not fail to understand this, so she murmured it aloud. "So, is someone leaving me? Or am I leaving someone?"

"I don't know, but I got the same result after three consecutive divinations. So, I came down the mountain." Xu Henian clenched his fists, "It's okay, I'm with you, don't be afraid."

"Yes." Yang Xianrong agreed readily, and then laughed again, "Actually, that's it. What else can I do?"

"It's okay, I just want to see you." Xu Henian wanted to say something else, but felt that it would be useless. So he changed the subject, "There is no problem for Liu Yao to go out with you this time."

"You were secretly telling fortunes again?" Yang Xianrong stood up. "I remember Master Xu said that telling fortunes is not a good thing for people like you who practice cultivation. It can also damage your internal strength." "It's okay." These three words were the only ones Xu Henian could say at this moment.

"Okay, I'll leave tomorrow, and it'll take me three months to come back. There are a few things I need you to do. I've also discussed it with Mao Hongbin and Zhang Du. If you need anything, just tell them directly."

"Ok."

"Liu Futian is a naughty kid who always makes trouble with his younger brother. You should think of a way to educate him. You can even cast a spell or something." Yang Xianrong felt upset when she thought of her eldest son. The child was already seven years old, an age that even dogs would hate.

"How can you be a mother like this? You even cast a curse on your own son! Besides, how can we in the Taoist sect do such things? It's all casual, whatever you want..." Xu Henian liked Liu Futian very much, always saying that he had a good aptitude for wisdom and would be a good material for cultivation in the future.

However, Liu Yao did not like to hear this, as he was still thinking of letting his eldest son inherit the throne.

"What's wrong? Whatever Third Sister says is right." Liu Yao's voice rang at the door. He had already pushed the door open and walked in. The room instantly became much brighter. There were many attendants around him, but none of them followed him in. Only Liu Gu followed him with some food and placed it on the table.

"Yes, yes, your Majesty is right." Xu Henian was still his carefree self, and he also liked to joke with Liu Yao. "Thank you for the food, your Majesty. I have gained a lot of weight, and I am afraid I can't climb Mount Zhongnan."

"Then don't go back, just live in the palace." Liu Yao didn't care about his casual attitude at all, and took Yang Xianrong's hand and sat down, "Anyway, this place is big, you can live anywhere. In the future, if I conquer the country, I will ask Senior Brother Xu to find a Feng Shui treasure land for me to use as my permanent capital."

"Of course." Xu Henian agreed immediately.

"It's settled then." Liu Yao smiled.

"Okay." Xu Henian nodded. "You two are both outstanding people. You must have good fortune. I wish you a smooth journey."

"Senior Brother Xu has already divined, and he said that the emperor's trip will be a complete success." Yang Xianrong poured a glass of wine for Liu Yao and Xu Henian with his other hand, "Although it's a little late, let's have a quick drink."

"it is good."

Both men agreed readily.

In the flickering candlelight, Yang Xianrong watched them drink the wine, his mind wandering. Time flies, but the past seems to have just happened yesterday.

Now that this is the case, what is Xu Henian worried about?

Life is like this, maybe it is already very perfect.

Didn't my mother say that this was the greatest fulfillment for a woman? Of course, she also said that we should be ruthless and not too affectionate. Because she was afraid that she would get hurt.

But the man in front of her now is Liu Yao, the one who holds her in his heart. How could he be so heartless?
The only thing she needs to do now is to not rely on him, and to be relatively independent and self-consistent. Not only will she live a happier life, but she can also help him build his empire.
