"What's wrong? My words don't work?"
Shen Tian sighed, and his tone became more serious.
"Yes, Your Highness."
The eunuch shuddered and quickly knelt down in front of Shen Tian. He lowered his head and trembled.
After all, even if Shen Tian was not valued by Yan Emperor, he was still the Thirteenth Prince.
In the Imperial Palace, disobeying orders was a crime punishable by death.
Shen Tian nodded in satisfaction. "What's your name?"
The eunuch answered honestly, "My name is Qin Gao. Your Highness, you can call me Little Gaozi."
Qin Gao?
That sounded like the name of an awesome eunuch.
Shen Tian seemed to be deep in thought. "Raise your head and let me take a look."
The eunuch's body trembled slightly. A sense of fear welled up in his heart.
He had heard that some important figures in the royal family were tired of playing with beautiful women. Instead, they were interested in beautiful naked eunuchs. They liked to do strange things.
Could the Thirteenth Prince, who was possessed by the God of Misfortune, be such a person?
Qin Gao shuddered at the thought of this.
He raised his head with a pale face and met Shen Tian's gaze.
Shen Tian looked at him seriously. His expression was solemn and even a little excited.
Qin Gao panicked even more.
…
"Your Highness, is there something wrong with this eunuch?"
Eunuch Gui's words interrupted Shen Tian's thoughts and brought him back to his senses.
He wasn't mesmerized by Qin Gao just now. He saw something else from Qin Gao's halo.
When he focused on Qin Gao, he saw an image projected from the red halo above Qin Gao's head.
The image appeared at the entrance of the palace's imperial study.
Then, the image zoomed in and entered the imperial study.
Then, he followed the rows of bookshelves in the imperial study to a secluded corner in the southeast. His gaze landed on a book titled 'History of the Great Fire'.
The image stopped here. There didn't seem to be anything special.
However, Shen Tian believed that the book named 'History of the Great Yan' definitely contained a huge secret.
It might have something to do with the red halo above Qin Gao's head. It might even be a great opportunity that belonged to Qin Gao.
"If I snatch this little eunuch's opportunity, will my luck improve?"
Shen Tian couldn't help but have a bold idea.
He didn't think it was unacceptable to steal someone else's opportunity.
After all, this was a cultivation world where the strong preyed on the weak. Those who were soft-hearted would generally die very miserably.
What was more important was that if Shen Tian didn't find a way to change his luck as soon as possible, he wouldn't be able to do so.
He would definitely die a horrible death!
…
"It's fine. You can leave now!"
Shen Tian waved his hand to let Qin Gao leave. Then, he hurried to the imperial study.
The imperial study of the Taiyan Kingdom was located in the center of the palace. It had a very rich collection of books.
Of course, all the books related to cultivation were in the core area of the imperial study. They were guarded by highly skilled cultivators.
Without Yan Emperor's permission, even a prince like Shen Tian couldn't read them.
Fortunately, the 'History of the Great Fire' that Shen Tian was looking for was not a cultivation technique. It was just an ordinary historical biography.
Shen Tian quickly found the book based on the image he saw in Qin Gao's halo.
The book was about 10 centimeters thick. It looked very old and was even covered in dust.
In this vast sea of books, the book was not eye-catching.
However, Shen Tian knew that there was definitely a secret in this book.
"I've got the book. Let's see if there are any changes to my luck."
Shen Tian took out a mirror and looked at it carefully.
Yes, he was still as handsome as ever.
The black was still as black as ever.
Shen Tian couldn't help but feel disappointed.
"Could it be that my luck hasn't changed because I haven't gotten my hands on the opportunity yet? So, I have to solve the secret of this book first?"
At this thought, Shen Tian left the imperial study with the 'History of the Great Fire' after he finished his registration.
…
In the next few days, Shen Tian returned to his ultimate shut-in state.
He ate, drank, and defecated on his bed. He refused to leave his room even if he was beaten to death.
The only change was that Shen Tian started to study the boring 'History of the Great Fire' over and over again.
This process made Shen Tian very frustrated. He couldn't see anything special about this book.
This was purely a boring history book without any illustrations or interesting points. Even the typography was crammed into one block.
It wasn't an injustice to be left in a corner without anyone reading it for decades.
If not for the fact that he saw this book in Qin Gao's halo, Shen Tian wouldn't even touch it.
"Is it because my face is too black that I can't discover the secret of this book?"
This didn't make sense!
"Your Highness, you haven't left the house for three days!"
Looking at Shen Tian's haggard appearance, Eunuch Gui felt sorry for him. "You've read this book so many times. Why don't we go out for a walk?"
Shen Tian shook his head. "I won't leave the house until I find out the secret of this book!"
Shen Tian didn't dare to put the book down and go out for a walk.
Otherwise, with his bad luck, the book might be gone by the time he returned.
Moreover, the possibility of that happening was very high!
…
Three hours later.
Shen Tian pinched his nose and read the 'History of the Great Fire' from beginning to end again.
However, other than feeling that the content had become even more boring, he didn't discover anything.
In the end, Shen Tian had to admit that his face was really too black.
Should he try it on someone else?
"Gui Bo, take a look at this book." Shen Tian handed the 'History of the Great Fire' to Eunuch Gui. "I feel that there should be a fortuitous opportunity in this book."
"There's a fortuitous opportunity in this book?"
Eunuch Gui took the 'History of the Great Fire', but he was actually skeptical.
Although he absolutely respected and trusted the 13th Prince, Eunuch Gui knew that the prince's luck was not good.
If the prince could borrow a book from the imperial study and find a hidden fortuitous opportunity …
Hmm ~
Eunuch Gui didn't think that the probability was very high.
…
"Since Your Highness thinks that there's a fortuitous opportunity in this book, Old Slave should take a look!"
Although he didn't believe that there was a fortuitous opportunity in this book.
Due to his absolute obedience to the Crown Prince, Eunuch Gui activated the spiritual power in his body and began to carefully examine the book.
However, soon, Eunuch Gui had a surprised expression on his face. "Eh, there's really something in this book."
The corner of Shen Tian's mouth twitched. He didn't know if he should be happy or sad.
He had studied it for a few days, but he didn't find anything wrong.
Eunuch Gui had only examined it for a few minutes, and he already found a fortuitous opportunity?
