"Heavenly Book Scholar, you are known as the Book of Life, able to divine everything in the world. Let me ask you something. Who will be the next Dragon Emperor? "
Right after Jiang He spoke, Xiao Chen's expression changed. What great ambition!
Could it be that Jiang He wants to vie for the Dragon Emperor position as well?
When the Heavenly Book Scholar heard that, he revealed a mocking expression. "What kind of Luck is contained in the words' Dragon Emperor '? Who would dare to casually divine it? You are also someone who knows divination techniques. To think that you would make such a request. I overestimated you.
"Even if I use my lifespan to divine it, the results will be cryptic and hard to understand."
Jiang He said, "Naturally, I know that. I already brought natural treasures to replenish my lifespan. Just do your best to divine it for me."
After saying that, Jiang He took out a brocade box from his storage ring and opened it for the Heavenly Book Scholar to see.
"Pure Water White Lotus!"
The Heavenly Book Scholar received the brocade box and no longer hesitated. "You are really persistent. In that case, I'll do as you wish."
The Heavenly Book Scholar gently flapped his folding fan and looked up at the starry sky. The stars in his eyes seemed to reflect on the Starry Heavens.
Xiao Chen opened his Heavenly Eye and looked up. He discovered that the star chart above seemed to move mysteriously. The Heavenly Book Scholar's eyes seemed to see through the mysteries of heaven. His soul landed on the mysterious river of fate.
After a while, the Heavenly Book Scholar gave off a terrifying aura. It was like he had the mandate of heaven on him.
Even Xiao Chen and Jiang He felt a deep fear from the aura that the Heavenly Book Scholar gave off.
The God Shadow Bow in the Heavenly Book Scholar's hand trembled slightly. Sensing a threat, it actually took the initiative to draw on Xiao Chen's Soul Energy.
A pair of scarlet wings silently unfurled on the God Shadow Bow's sides.
The God Shadow Bow took on a form that Xiao Chen had never seen before. The entire bow flowed with light, and the Holy Beast carved on it seemed to move.
The Heavenly Book Scholar is stronger than I imagined. He is not as weak as he looks.
Xiao Chen thought to himself, When I fought the Black Lotus Demonic Ancestor in the past, the God Shadow Bow did not show such a mysterious phenomenon.
Naturally, the Black Lotus Demonic Ancestor was stronger than the Heavenly Book Scholar. It could only be said that the Heavenly Book Scholar grasped a terrifying taboo energy but could not casually use it.
Hua!
The light on the Heavenly Book Scholar's body shattered like glass, turning into countless shards that gathered in the air.
"What did you see?"
Jiang He asked somberly, knowing that the divination results were out.
Tian Ce's complexion was pale, and he was extremely weak. He did not say anything, only holding his folding fan and casually swiping it across the stone table.
As the saying went, the mysteries of heaven could not be revealed. Naturally, the Heavenly Book Scholar would not reveal everything he saw.
It was just a casual stroke, and how much Jiang He could comprehend would depend on himself.
"This is a saber mark that you simulated. Are you trying to say that the next Dragon Emperor will be a good saber user? Among the outstanding young talents of the Dragon Race, aside from the Willow Leaf Saber, I am the next best. "
Jiang He muttered to himself, Could it be that the next Dragon Emperor will be Liu Ruyue?
In history, the Dragon Race did have female emperors. With Liu Ruyue's talent and elegance, she did indeed have the potential to become the Dragon Emperor.
The Heavenly Book Scholar remained expressionless as he said indifferently, "What I want to say is all in this stroke. There is no need for you to continue asking me."
"Thank you."
Jiang He did not bother saying anything else. He took out the Sub-Divine Crystal and handed it to the Heavenly Book Scholar.
After casually receiving the Sub-Divine Crystal, the Heavenly Book Scholar looked at Xiao Chen and said, "Friend, you can put away your bow, right?"
Xiao Chen smiled faintly and put the God Shadow Bow back into his storage ring.
Then, he walked over to the stone table and looked at the mark, entering deep thought.
It was indeed a saber mark.
Xiao Chen and Jiang He were both peak bladesmen. They could tell what mark the Heavenly Book Scholar wanted to simulate with one glance.
However, this saber mark might not indicate that the next Dragon Emperor would be a bladesman.
After the divination ended, the Heavenly Book Scholar retrieved the Sub-Divine Crystal. Then, he stood up to leave.
When the Heavenly Book Scholar saw Xiao Chen, he paused for a moment before sitting down again. "I will give you a word for free. Although I cannot perform a divination for you, I can give you a word."
Word reading?
"Brother Xiao Chen, the Heavenly Book Scholar first became famous because he read the words of the three princes of the dynasty," Jiang He explained from the side. The Heavenly Book Scholar's word reading was also excellent.
Or rather, it should be said that this was his specialty.
The Heavenly Book Scholar took out paper, ink, brush, and inkstone. Then, he said, "Please."
Xiao Chen picked up the brush and entered deep thought. However, he did not know what to write.
After staring for a while, he dipped the brush in ink and did not stop writing. Then, he wrote a word without hesitation.
"Moon!"
The Heavenly Book Scholar looked at Xiao Chen curiously and asked, "What do you want?"
"To seek peace of mind."
"Haha! In that case, it looks like you will not get it. The road ahead is hard to break, and it is hard to find peace of mind."
The Heavenly Book Scholar smiled faintly as he fanned himself with his folding fan after looking at Xiao Chen's handwriting.
Xiao Chen entered deep thought. "What do you mean?"
"If one wants peace of mind, one has to be upright and bright, without any shadows. Without the moon, how can one's heart be at peace? Now, look at your handwriting. The writing is casual, but it is clean, decisive, and straightforward. Your eyes and expressions can lie, but your words cannot. You must have a firm and resolute character, someone who kills decisively.
"Now, look at your final stroke. There should be a hook when you write the word 'moon.' However, there is none. It plunges straight down like a sharp saber, neat and tidy, looking grand and majestic as it falls from the sky, looking like a sovereign descending from the nine heavens. This moon is like fire, watered by hot-bloodedness and lofty sentiments. It burns fiercely, comparable to the blazing sun. This moon is like a saber, dazzling with saber light, pressuring with pride and sharpness. "
Naturally, the Heavenly Book Scholar would not casually give a conclusion. He had his own reasoning and origins.
Jiang He felt somewhat confused. "No matter how you look at it, these are all merits. Why is the conclusion so different?"
The Heavenly Book Scholar replied indifferently, "That is because of what he seeks. How can a heart burning without hesitation be at peace? How can a proud and aloof saber be willing to be mediocre, unhindered by the world? If you seek riches and honor, fame, or righteousness, they are all good words. However, what you seek is peace of mind! "
This heart cannot be at peace?
As Xiao Chen looked at the word 'moon' on the white paper, he felt slightly stunned, not saying anything.
However, Jiang He asked on Xiao Chen's behalf, "Is there a way to break it?"
"Naturally, there is. This moon is like fire, burning fiercely, eager to soar into the sky. It does not want to stop for even half a step. Just stay here. As long as this moon does not rise, you will be at peace. "
The Heavenly Book Scholar seemed to have expected this question. He smiled faintly and casually spoke of a way to break it.
As the white-clad scholar waved his folding fan, he looked very graceful.
Xiao Chen had not expected the other party to see so much from just the word 'moon.'
As for whether it was accurate or not, that would depend on whether one believed it or not.
"Goodbye."
The Heavenly Book Scholar closed his folding fan and performed a cupped-fist salute, appearing extremely carefree.
"Wait a moment."
Xiao Chen suddenly said softly.
The Heavenly Book Scholar's expression changed slightly as he asked, "What is it?"
"There's no rush. I will not take out the God Shadow Bow again. I want to ask you something. A few months ago, did you receive a young monk with delicate features and divine a fortuitous encounter for him? "
"So what if I did?"
"Nothing much. It's just that the little monk is not happy and wants to have a heart-to-heart talk with you."
The Little Demonic Monk Silver Saber?
Shock flashed in the Heavenly Book Scholar's eyes. People like him, who were proficient in divination and deducing the mysteries of heaven, were the ones he was most unwilling to meet.
After walking the divination path, one would naturally have a deep belief in the Heavenly Dao and fate.
When a calamity came knocking, nothing good would come out of it.
The Heavenly Book Scholar showed a doubtful expression as he looked around and did not see anyone. He smiled and said, "Young Master, please don't joke around."
Xiao Chen smiled and said, "I never joke around."
"Bang!"
Right after the Heavenly Book Scholar spoke, the little monk leaped out of the bag on Xiao Chen's back. Then, his tender little fist instantly landed on the Heavenly Book Scholar's face.
"I ended up like this because I listened to your nonsense. I'll beat you to death! I'll beat you to death!"
The little monk's baby-like face did its best to make an angry expression. However, no matter how hard it tried, it still looked incredibly cute when paired with that tender little face.
The little monk's tiny fist striking the Heavenly Book Scholar's face looked more like an affectionate gesture.
However, the Heavenly Book Scholar was in unbearable pain. He clutched his head and scurried around in a sorry state, no longer looking like an elegant scholar.
Upon seeing the Heavenly Book Scholar's appearance, Xiao Chen felt somewhat pleased. What he hated the most were people who deliberately mystified others and put on airs.
Xiao Chen felt upset, but it was not to the point where he would make a move to teach the Heavenly Book Scholar a lesson.
The little monk, who had just woken up and received a voice projection from Xiao Chen, was the most suitable person to make a move.
However, when Xiao Chen's gaze fell on the white paper on the stone table, the smile on his face slowly dimmed.
Out of curiosity, Xiao Chen had not expected to end up with a divination that made his heart uneasy and his future difficult.
He hoped that it was just a casual remark.
