The Imperial Observatory, the Star-Picking Tower, has three floors.

"Rin, stop eating so much!"

Seeing Xu Lingyin diligently 'working', Luo Chen grabbed the back of her collar and lifted her up.

"Your dad is waiting for you outside!"

Xu Lingyin raised her little face, scratched her bottom with her little hand, and looked up at Luo Chen with longing eyes: "I haven't finished checking these snacks yet."

Luo Chen put Xu Lingyin down, somewhat helplessly: "Then let's take her home for a checkup!"

"Okay, okay!"

Xu Lingyin happily toddled over to the pastry samples and kept stuffing them into her deer-shaped bag.

The foodies in the Imperial Observatory all wore deer-shaped pouches around their waists, specifically for carrying snacks; the pouches were ten times larger than they appeared!

……

Outside the Star-Picking Tower.

Luo Chen led the little boy out of the Star-Picking Tower.

Xu Lingyin, who had been enjoying her time away from home, suddenly had tears welling up in her eyes when she saw her familiar relatives.

Xu Lingyin was taken to the Imperial Observatory by Luo Chen not because she didn't miss home.

Instead, she vaguely knew that if she followed Senior Brother Luo, bad people wouldn't dare to bully her family!

The day her older brother was kidnapped by bad guys, she stood beside her mother and witnessed her mother's terror and her father's anger!

Mother said that bad people are all people of high status!

That's why he was able to bully his older sister, his older brother, and everyone else!

That day at the Ministry of Justice, Senior Brother Luo appeared like a ray of light!

It's clearly not what my mother said. It turns out he's someone of noble status. Luckily, I have Senior Brother Luo!

"Dad! Big pot!"

"I'm very comfortable living here!"

With her hands on her hips, Xu Lingyin ran with her short legs and slammed her head into Xu Pingzhi's arms!

Xu Pingzhi, his face beaming with happiness, opened his arms wide and caught Xu Lingyin tightly!

In an instant, he was dumbfounded. How did the little cotton-padded jacket turn into a little cannonball?

Fortunately, Xu Pingzhi circulated his qi and took a step back to stabilize himself.

"Rin, what's wrong with your strength?"

Xu Lingyin frowned her short eyebrows, thought seriously for a moment, and then shook her head: "I don't know."

At this moment, Luo Chen came to her side, "Little Lingyin takes snacks that strengthen her qi and blood every day, so her strength will naturally increase significantly."

Xu Pingzhi was somewhat shocked upon hearing this.

How long has it been? In less than ten days, there has been such a significant change in strength?

You should know that it took three years to teach Xu Qi'an martial arts!

"The bell-shaped herb, which strengthens qi and blood, costs three taels of silver per root!"

Xu Pingzhi earnestly told him, "If you make the herbs into desserts, the price will be even higher."

"You mustn't be temperamental or greedy while you're in the Imperial Observatory!"

Xu Lingyin frowned her short eyebrows, scratched her forehead, and then reached into her deer-shaped bag and took out two green pastries.

"Dad! This pastry doesn't taste good at all, it tastes weird!"

"My weak senior brother tries to feed me every day, but I don't want to eat at all!"

Xu Pingzhi and Xu Qi'an were stunned when they saw that the little boy didn't seem to be lying!

Eating pastries worth one tael of silver as a meal?

They all knew how much the little one ate; other children, even at five years old, could only eat a small bowl of rice.

Xu Lingyin, however, could eat two large bowls of white rice, plus five chicken legs!

This piece of pastry isn't even enough to fill Xu Lingyin's teeth!

Xu Qi'an looked down at Xu Lingyin, his eyes filled with envy and a touch of joy.

At this moment, Luo Chen, who had been silent for a long time, saw that Xu Lingyin and Xu Pingzhi had finished speaking.

He then slowly spoke, "I have something to discuss with Young Master Xu."

Upon hearing this, Xu Pingzhi knew that Luo Chen had private matters to discuss with his nephew, so he tactfully took Xu Lingyin back to the Xu residence first.

Xu Qi'an, who was left behind, was a little confused.

He clasped his hands in a fist salute to Luo Chen, somewhat cautiously asking, "Young Master Luo, what brings you here?"

Luo Chen simply smiled. "I'm not looking for you, I'm looking for him."

Xu Qi'an was a little confused. Did Young Master Luo really need his help?

"Young Master Luo, who are you looking for? I don't quite understand what you're saying."

Luo Chenyun said calmly, patting Xu Qi'an on the shoulder: "Someone will understand!"

Xu Qi'an's eyes flickered and deepened. He cupped his hands in a respectful bow and went straight to the point:

"Young Master Luo, what should I do to survive?"

"Great!" Luo Chen praised generously, "I said at the entrance of the Ministry of Justice that day that Young Master Xu is a man of great fortune."

"Logically, everything should go smoothly and all things should be as one wishes."

"It's truly unacceptable that we've suffered so many misfortunes."

Xu Qi'an bowed respectfully, "May I ask, Young Master Luo, what kind of fortune do I possess? And where does it come from?"

Luo Chen was certain that the supervisor was eavesdropping.

"Only my master knows where it came from!"

He shook his head deliberately and sighed:

"That day, when I used my magical artifact to observe you, I saw that the aura above your head was a pale purple, but now it has become increasingly abundant, even turning golden!"

"Perhaps even an emperor's fortune is nothing more than this!"

"Young Master Xu, guess for yourself what kind of fortune this is?"

Xu Qi'an fell silent. He believed Luo Chen because Luo Chen had no reason to lie to him!

Besides, Luo Chen saved his life. If he wanted to harm Luo Chen's fortune, he would have done so long ago!

"Young Master Luo, is there a method in this world to refine one's own fortune, or to seize another's fortune for one's own use?"

"A second-rank Qi Refiner can achieve this, but within the Imperial Observatory, only my master possesses a second-rank or higher Qi Refiner!"

Luo Chen naturally wouldn't mention Xu Pingfeng, because Xu Pingfeng had already concealed his existence!

"Of all the diviners in the world, the Imperial Observatory alone accounts for ninety percent; the rest are merely the top performers!"

Xu Qi'an's expression turned serious. "Among the remaining 10% of sorcerers, could there be any second-rank sorcerers?"

Luo Chen shook his head to himself, "These are just your guesses!"

Xu Qi'an was stunned. Other people who transmigrate usually have noble status or come with a cheat code!

He has nothing, and the original owner is still alive!

Ever since he merged with his original memories, he always felt that he was him, and he was himself!

It's just like schizophrenia from a past life!

Xu Qi'an really wanted to kowtow to Luo Chen, call him godfather, and beg him to save his life!

He had already secretly inquired about Luo Chen.

The other party was not only a diviner from the Imperial Observatory, but also a talented poet!

These people admire the integrity of scholars, especially their humble yet assertive attitude.

That's why Xu Qi'an maintained a humble yet arrogant demeanor, all to gain Luo Chen's appreciation so that he could prepare to curry favor with him!

"However, I do have a solution that can help Young Master Xu alleviate his immediate predicament."

"I wish to take Young Master Luo as my godfather..." Xu Qi'an was overjoyed upon hearing this, "Please speak, Young Master Luo, I will surely repay you in the future!"

Luo Chen: "Improve my cultivation level and find a powerful force to rely on."

Upon hearing this, Xu Qi'an instantly straightened his back and pounded his heart with his right hand: "I am willing to join the Imperial Observatory and dedicate my life to it!"

Luo Chen smiled gently: "The Imperial Observatory only accepts children."

Xu Qi'an: "???"

No? I thought you were trying to get me to join the Imperial Observatory after saying all that?

And you're telling me it's not?

Xu Qi'an frowned, his expression turning serious.

For a mere young man from the Imperial Observatory to possess such shrewdness, it seems the people of the Imperial Observatory are all extraordinary!

"However, given your martial prowess, joining the night watchmen would be a good fit."

"Not only can it help you open the gates of heaven, but you can also use the power of a night watchman to protect yourself!"

Xu Qi'an's face lit up with joy, and he bowed his head, cupping his hands in a fist salute: "So Young Master Luo has other plans."

Luo Chen patted Xu Qi'an on the shoulder and turned to walk towards the Star-Picking Tower.

He said meaningfully and leisurely, "Young Master Xu, you've already experienced the cutthroat nature of this world twice. Don't miss this last chance!"

Xu Qi'an, recalling the injustice he had suffered, unconsciously clenched his fists, and said with extreme composure:

"Young Master Luo's kindness will be forever remembered!"
