Mo Yinhe strode out and saw the highly esteed Master Huixian at the banquet hall entrance.
Master Huixian ca in a hurry, his white beard puffing as he breathed. Today, he was dressed particularly formally, without the wine gourd at his waist, instead wearing a white monk robe, exuding an ethereal and dignified aura. He bowed to Mo Yinhe and said, "Benefactor Mo."
Mo Yinhe nodded at Master Huixian and said, "Master Huixian, why have you co so suddenly at this late hour?"
Ye Shen, standing nearby, spoke in a voice neither loud nor soft, just enough for those who had excused themselves to the restroom to hear, "Brother, Master Huixian rushed over because he calculated that among today’s guests visiting Second Sister, there is an ominous person, which will affect Sister-in-law’s fortune."
Mo Yinhe understood in his heart, finally knowing what Mingjing and his third brother were up to, but feigned ignorance, furrowing his brows and said, "Is there really such a thing? Master Huixian, are you sure you haven’t made a mistake?"
With a profound and inscrutable expression, Master Huixian said, "Amitabha, a monk does not lie. Benefactor Mo, for your wife’s safety, please remove this person as soon as possible."
Mo Yinhe made a troubled expression, "All the guests today were invited by the family to attend Si Yuan’s wedding. How can I cause a scene by expelling soone from the wedding? Without solid evidence proving that his presence will bring bad luck to Mingjing, I cannot act rashly."
Master Huixian sighed and said, "Benefactor Mo, out of goodwill for the Ye Family’s annual offering of incense money, I rushed to remind you specifically, only to have you demand concrete evidence. Must you see your wife suffer misfortune before you believe my words? Can you bear to watch her encounter bad luck?"
Ye Shen anxiously said, "Brother, what do you an by this? Do you really need to wait for sothing to happen to Sister-in-law before believing? Do you plan to stand by and watch her suffer misfortune? Is this how you care for her?"
Mo Yinhe gave Ye Shen a cold glance as if angered, "Shut up!"
"Brother, I can’t stand by if you don’t care for Sister-in-law! Master Huixian has always been highly respected, and what he says rarely lacks credibility. If he says there’s soone among the guests bringing bad luck to Sister-in-law, there definitely is! I believe it!"
Mo Yinhe seed to feel ashad before Ye Shen and frowned, saying, "Naturally, I do not doubt Master Huixian’s good intentions. Master, how can I prevent my wife from encountering bad luck? Just by removing the person?"
Master Huixian replied, "That’s the current plan. Try not to let them share the sa room, or else..."
Ye Shen said, "Brother, did you hear that? It’s just about asking soone to leave, not anything more drastic. So things are better believed than dismissed, especially when it threatens Sister-in-law."
Mo Yinhe said in a deep voice, "I understand."
Then, he asked Master Huixian, "Master, do you know who this individual is?"
Master Huixian replied, "I do not know the exact na of this person, but they should have a red mark on their forehead. This red blemish is a malefic star from the Emperor Star constellation that directly clashes with your wife’s fate."
Ye Shen thought for a mont and exclaid loudly, "Brother, it’s Qu Liushang! Doesn’t he have a red mark on his forehead?"
The guests who had excused themselves slowly returned to the banquet hall and gossiped with their table companions, spreading what they had heard, one to ten, ten to a hundred...
And naturally, it reached Qu Liushang’s table.
So kind-hearted guests walked over to Qu Liushang to convey the matter, hoping he would voluntarily leave to spare Mo Yinhe embarrassnt; any self-aware guest should choose to leave voluntarily at this mont.
However, Qu Liushang’s composed expression was unruffled, only offering a quiet smile.
At this mont, Mo Yinhe invited Master Huixian into the banquet hall.
Mo Yinhe arranged a place of honor for Master Huixian.
Master Huixian, highly respected in A Country, is highly sought after in noble circles; many were eager to approach him, taking the chance to have Master Huixian predict their fortunes.
The seating arrangent for Master Huixian was at Qu Liushang’s table.
At Qu Liushang’s table sat Qu Liushang, Leng Chenmo, and Tang Zhou, along with Lu Zhanyuan and his wife, Ye Shiting and his wife, Yan Bei and his wife, with just one seat vacant, which is hard to place anyone else.
Lu Zhanyuan is the President of A Country, Ye Shiting and Yan Bei were the forr presidents of A Country, Qu Liushang and Leng Chenmo are heads of states, no other’s status matches to sit with them.
Master Huixian, a high-ranking monk with his own standing in the Buddhist community, was suitably seated by Mo Yinhe at this table.
Once seated, Tang Zhou nervously inquired, "Master Huixian, I heard so discussions, you didn’t co here just to attend the celebration, had you foreseen sothing?"
Master Huixian candidly replied, "Indeed, I ca specifically to alert Benefactor Mo."
As he finished, Master Huixian’s gaze fell on Qu Liushang, whose forehead bore the red mark. He sighed, "Amitabha, rcifully, the benefactor carries a malefic star that conflicts with Miss Si’s fate. To prevent harm, I ca specifically to advise; tonight, it would be unwise for this gentleman to remain here."
Qu Liushang, holding a wine glass, twirled the red wine inside, giving Master Huixian a calm look.
Known widely as the forr High Priest of Mu Continent, Master Huixian’s words held weight that few could disregard!
Yet here, aside from Qu Liushang, no one else knows! Is Master Huixian Mo Yinhe’s pawn to remove him?
"Master Huixian, I’ve always respected your high moral standard, didn’t expect you’ve fallen to flattering soone with untruths today."
Qu Liushang placed the wine glass down with slight force; he would tolerate no one claiming he and Ajiu’s fates clash, for Master Huixian’s words carried weight both in A Country and Mu Continent.
Master Huixian responded compassionately, "Amitabha, a monk does not speak falsehoods."
Tang Zhou comnted, "Mr. Qu, if Master Huixian could be wooed, he wouldn’t hold such high esteem in A Country. His words are credible, why not leave first? Letting my nephew invite you to a private al another day when my niece-in-law isn’t around?"
Yan Bei’s wife, Se Tingnan, also added, "Let’s not cause discomfort on such a joyful day, it’s just a al, missing one doesn’t matter."
Tang Zhou echoed, "Exactly, it’s just a single al. Why not depart if you have other matters, Mr. Qu?"
Many discreetly observed Qu Liushang.
His expulsion is the popular sentint, persistently staying would show poor judgnt, and Si Mingjing, seated, wore a slight smile, subtle as a peony’s gentle blossom.
