Cultivating In Secret Beside A Demoness Chapter 1914: Chapter 1506: The Mother-in-Law's Questioning2
This body had no subjective consciousness of its own.
Which is to say, it does not speak.
The State Preceptor before is testing .
Even though I am young, after all, I have seen much.
Though ti has passed as quickly as light.
Still, it has been eight thousand years, how could I not have made any progress?
"Do you know when I discovered you?" the State Preceptor asked again.
Jiang Hao remained silent, his expression unchanged.
He suspected that the person before him had said this to many people.
"You know the Emperor has much to do, and as his State Preceptor, I must probe the future and observe the situation of the world.
"But several years ago, a layer of gauze seemingly shrouded the clear capital.
"It had no effect and even dissipated quickly.
"But do you know what the appearance of such a thing ans?" the State Preceptor looked at Jiang Hao and smiled:
"Allow to introduce myself, I am the State Preceptor and Queen of the Tianji Dynasty. Under the heavens, aside from the Emperor, no one is my match.
"The East Heavenly Pole, though powerful, needs to guide their future path.
"The rise and fall of the Dynasty are all within my grasp.
"The Emperor strides alone under Heaven, the supre of all creation, probing the truths of this world but never caring for the changes in the Dynasty.
"I, however, am ever watchful.
"About five years ago, I had a slight premonition.
"But I wasn't sure who it was.
"So I have t with you all, one by one.
"I've even observed everyone in the capital.
"They have all changed, to so degree, except for you. You remain unchanged.
"Tell , is a person who does not change normal or abnormal?"
Jiang Hao was surprised in his heart. It turned out not to be a test; she had indeed discovered sothing.
This era was nearing its end, and the other party was also a supre practitioner of the Heaven Divination Technique.
It made sense for her to have a slight premonition.
But she definitely could not perceive the specifics.
As long as he did not admit it, she could not confirm it.
The person before him was of no simple identity, and were he to speak...
Then he might be discovered by the Emperor, by the Heavenly Note Sect.
In that case, the involved karma would be too great.
But...
He had never heard the Heavenly Note Sect ntion this State Preceptor.
Helpless Heaven may be alive, but the State Preceptor seed like...
She didn't exist.
She should have been buried by the passage of years.
Seeing that Jiang Hao had no reaction, the State Preceptor smiled and said, "When you figure it out, you can find ."
As she said this, she walked out, and after leaving the courtyard, she frowned slightly:
"Did I say so much for nothing? Was I wrong?
"But the Heavenly Secrets Hidden Talisman indeed rippled for a mont.
"Though it changed nothing, sothing must have changed.
"I spent five years observing the people of the capital, and anwhile, I also traced the source of the ripple.
"It ca from the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone.
"Upon examination, it seems that such ripples have been perceived by others in the endless years past, but it's unknown if it's the sa situation.
"Could it really be Tian Liu?
"But there are no other suspects.
"Or does it an he can only hear my voice and cannot speak or do anything?
"No, I must continue probing after so ti, but...
"Should I tell the Emperor?"
Thinking this, stars erged in her eyes, and then the sun and moon surrounded her as she perford The Shifting Star Technique.
Finally, with a bang.
The stars shattered, the sun and moon crumbled.
Spitting out a mouthful of fresh blood, the State Preceptor's eyes showed a frenzy of joy: "Yes, I guessed right, it is Tian Liu.
"Just by calculating the karma of informing the Emperor, a backlash occurred.
"Unbearable.
"Divine foretelling should not be revealed.
"Just a guess has such an effect; what kind of change has occurred with Tian Liu?
"Is it that I cannot tell because no accidents must happen?"
She decided to go into seclusion to check the ancient texts.
——
While still holding a chess piece and thinking about how to be a better fortune teller, Jiang Hao suddenly felt the Ancient Yin-Yang Millstone tremble.
It had affected karma.
Sensing it, Jiang Hao sighed. The State Preceptor had indeed found sothing.
But she likely didn't find out much.
The question now was whether she would tell the Emperor.
If she did...
Then there would be nothing he could do.
He would simply be a pure bystander.
For if he made any move, being discovered by the living would bring karma.
Known and unknown are two entirely different matters.
The next day.
The festival began.
Jiang Hao changed clothes, and under the captain's lead, arrived at a booth.
This was his assigned location.
He had to sit here all day and observe the surroundings.
If there was a problem, he had to report it.
If it was urgent, he had to take action.
As day broke.
Jiang Hao saw that many stalls gradually beca occupied.
They were preparing.
Soon, so people had already arrived.
The scope of the festival was vast, reportedly having the marriage bridge, Enlightennt Road, Talent Light, and the Hundred Families Ship.
It should be even more lively at night.
"Sir, would you like your fortune told?" Suddenly, a man sat down in front of Jiang Hao.
Looking at the person before him, Jiang Hao was slightly surprised.
This was a young man, about eighteen or nineteen years old.
With distinct facial features and an aura that seed to glow, attracting people's attention.
Young, but already at the late Foundation Establishnt Stage.
Heavenly Pride.
Even in the Heavenly Note Sect, he had not seen such a Heavenly Pride.
The long-missing junior brother Han Ming was only at the early stage of Foundation Establishnt at the ages of eighteen or nineteen.
Whereas the person before him, if not for the fear of an unstable foundation, would probably be in the Golden Core Realm already.
In the end, he nodded slightly.
Then he took out the divination tube from his right side and handed it over to the man.
"Aren't you going to ask what I want to have divined?" the man asked.
Jiang Hao lowered his eyes and took out a bamboo stick that he had prepared earlier, which had three words written on it, "Divine what?"
Because he couldn't speak, he ca up with this solution.
However, there was still no emotion in his eyes.
"I am here to challenge Princess Red Rain Ye of the Tianji Dynasty, and not only that, after I defeat her, I plan to propose marriage to the Heavenly Extre Emperor.
"I just want to know if things will go smoothly for ," the man said earnestly.
Jiang Hao: "..."
Is it really okay to ask this question?
That's my intended partner.
But since Red Rain Ye debuted, she has never lost.
In a few more years, she would have aspirations as high as the heavens.
Invincible among her peers, and afterward, even the seniors wouldn't be her match.
Until her cultivation reached its peak, and she started to comprehend the seventh form of the Moon-Slaying saber technique.
While Jiang Hao was still pondering, the sound of the divination tube ca over.
Then a stick fell onto the table.
It bore three words.
Very Poor Fortune.
Looking at the divination stick, the man said with a smile:
"Very Poor Fortune? No matter, my fate is in my hands, not governed by heaven."
With those words, he got up, walked away with a swagger.
Jiang Hao watched the man's figure, sighing.
He didn't pay.
I've suffered a silent loss.
At that mont, a young man and woman ca before Jiang Hao, both wearing smiles as if they had made a difficult decision.
"Elder, we've co to seek divination," the man said earnestly.
He explained, "We are a couple who have eloped from our family and want to see if we can successfully escape."
Jiang Hao took a new divination tube from the side and passed it over to them.
Instructing them to shake the tube.
Soon, a bamboo stick fell out.
It boldly wrote three words: "Excellent Fortune."
Seeing this, the two bead with joy, and after leaving so spirit stones and thanking the elder, they quickly departed.
Having received the spirit stones, Jiang Hao breathed a sigh of relief.
It turns out divining fortunes is quite profitable.
More so than selling my talismans.
A new thod of making money, it seems I could emulate it upon returning.
But my senior sister Miao Tinglian does this for a living; I wonder if I'd bump into her.
Taking her business, I wonder if she'd hold a grudge.
Later on, Jiang Hao found his stall to be extrely popular.
A crowd queued for divinations.
Many voices spread rumors that this Immortal Elder, who speaks not a word, manifests heavenly secrets without speaking them, and must be so great power who has co to play in the Mortal World.
They all said they wanted to see the heavenly secrets.
Jiang Hao silently listened to these rumors.
Is this speaking heavenly secrets?
It was the first ti he learned of it.
But now, he didn't dare to obviously switch the divination tubes.
Instead, he'd tuck them under the table after use, choosing which to give depending on the situation.
One tube entirely of Excellent Fortunes and another entirely of Very Poor Fortunes.
My fate is my own, not dictated by heaven.
Because this place was indeed too hot, it caught the attention of many.
Jiang Hao suddenly saw a woman in her pri, wearing a red robe that covered her face, waiting in line.
Soon, it was her turn.
She sat down in front of Jiang Hao and, as if she were experienced in the matter, said: "Immortal Elder, I'd like to have my marriage fortune told."
Have you not recognized ?
He sighed inwardly and was about to pick up the left divination tube.
This one contained all Excellent Fortune sticks.
But he quickly hesitated.
Princess Red Rain Ye continued: "I want to know if I can et my true love before I ascend and experience a passionate love."
Jiang Hao silently handed her the tube full of Very Poor Fortunes.
Soon Red Rain Ye shook out a Very Poor Fortune stick.
She stared at the stick quietly for a long while, then snorted coldly and turned to leave, muttering, "My love should be in my hands, not determined by a stick."
Jiang Hao mused in his heart, not to ntion ascending, she wouldn't et him even before reaching the Daluo realm.
