"As expected of the Royal Highness!" Li Xinghe chuckled and clapped his hands. "Alright, if that's the case, I have no other choice but to help the Royal Highness and eliminate Chu Li!"
"That's for the best!" Tang Ye smiled. "However, if you inform Chu Li immediately after I leave, we'll be enemies with the Stargazing Pavilion. You'll be a sinner if you implicate the Stargazing Pavilion!"
"The Stargazing Pavilion won't be destroyed so easily." Li Xinghe smiled.
Tang Ye asked, "What if Father does it himself? He hates traitors the most. If the Stargazing Pavilion helps Chu Li, they'll be traitors to the Fu Dynasty. Father can't tolerate that, you know. "
Li Xinghe took a deep breath and nodded slowly. "Yes, I understand. Alright, I'll calculate Xiao Qi's whereabouts. Do I have her birth date and horoscope?"
"Elder Xu!" Tang Ye gave him a look.
Xu Shixing retrieved a letter from his inner pocket and handed it to Li Xinghe after opening it.
Li Xinghe took a deep breath and suppressed his anger. Although the Stargazing Pavilion was powerful, it was unfortunate that it did not have an Enlightened Master guarding it. Therefore, it could only yield to the Emperor's threat. Otherwise, the Stargazing Pavilion would suffer greatly if the Emperor barged in.
Under normal circumstances, Tang Haotian could not act recklessly due to the restrictions of the Heavenly Rules. However, if he was given an excuse, he would not show mercy.
The Stargazing Pavilion and the other eight major sects had always been a thorn in his side. The Stargazing Pavilion had been relying on the Stargazing Technique to seek fortune and avoid calamity. They did not give him an excuse, which was why they were safe until now. Once he found an excuse, he would definitely take the opportunity to act.
He looked at the birth date on the white letter and activated the Stargazing Pavilion for a moment. Then, he frowned at the two and said coldly, "Your Royal Highness, why are you joking with me? This is the birth date of a Protector from the Imperial Residence. Unfortunately, he was unlucky and died a violent death."
Tang Ye frowned and glared at Xu Shixing.
Xu Shixing was stunned. He quickly touched his chest and took out another letter. He asked embarrassedly, "Did I take the wrong one?"
He passed it to Li Xinghe as he spoke.
Tang Ye said coldly, "What else can you do!"
Xu Shixing bowed and cupped his fists in apology.
After receiving the white paper, Li Xinghe quickly operated the Stargazing Pavilion to calculate. His expression turned solemn as he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood and collapsed to the ground, panting heavily without moving.
Tang Ye and Xu Shixing stared at him blankly.
Li Xinghe's change was too fast. He was radiant just a moment ago, but now his complexion was ashen. It was as if he had suddenly aged twenty years. It was a little frightening, and people were worried that he would suddenly take his last breath. He gave off the feeling of a candle flickering in the wind.
"What's going on?" Tang Ye asked.
Li Xinghe shook his head softly. "The backlash is too severe. I didn't expect Xiao Qi to have a treasure with her. The backlash is the Stargazing Technique."
Tang Ye stared at him with a frown and said in a deep voice, "Li Xinghe, I've never heard of a treasure that can restrain your Star Gazing Art. What a joke. Do you think I'm easy to bully?!"
Li Xinghe said unhappily, "If Your Highness doesn't believe me, you can find someone else to do the divination. My talent is shallow and I'm no match for her artifact. Please forgive me for being powerless!"
As he spoke, he waved his hands and began channeling. He closed his eyes and ignored the two of them.
Tang Ye said, "Tell me clearly, what's the backlash from your Star Gazing Art?"
Li Xinghe helplessly opened his eyes and said, "A treasure that can restrain the Star Gazing Art is extremely rare. It must be something from Outland."
"Something from Outland?" Tang Ye frowned. "What item from Outland?"
Li Xinghe shook his head. "Who knows? It's not like I'll tell anyone about it!"
Tang Ye saw that he was not lying. "If that's the case, it doesn't matter who I find to do the divination with?"
"Yes." Li Xinghe nodded. "If I can't predict it, no one else in the world can. So, Your Highness, you should give up."
Tang Ye scoffed. "I didn't expect this fella to be so difficult to deal with."
A treasure like Outland would never be given to anyone. Chu Li must have guarded against him, which was why he gave Xiao Qi such a treasure to prevent anyone from predicting her whereabouts.
Li Xinghe said, "I advise Your Highness not to go against Chu Li."
Tang Ye smirked. "I must avenge this! I heard that the Star Gazing Pavilion wants the Divine Astra Jade Badge? "
"The Divine Astra Jade Badge?" Li Xinghe's expression changed.
Tang Ye chuckled when he saw his expression. "Seems like it's true."
Li Xinghe said, "The Divine Astra Jade Badge is hidden in the Church of the Divine Blood and no one can touch it. Did Your Highness obtain it?"
Tang Ye nodded slowly. "Of course."
Li Xinghe looked at him in shock. "How's that possible?!"
"Why not?!" Tang Ye said, "The Church of the Divine Blood and Chu Li are irreconcilable, but unfortunately, we can't avenge him. Chu Li and I will go to the Church of the Divine Blood and give them something in exchange. Naturally, we'll obtain the Divine Astra Jade Badge!"
Li Xinghe pondered.
Now that he put it that way, it was possible.
The Divine Astra Jade Badge was useless to the Church of the Divine Blood, but they refused to exchange it with the Star Gazing Pavilion to prevent it from growing.
Chu Li killed Wei Wuwei, who had the highest chance of becoming an Enlightened Master. The Church of the Divine Blood's hope of reviving was destroyed. Then, they were brutally killed by Chu Li and were forced to seal their mountain. It was the first humiliation in a thousand years.
The Church of the Divine Blood's hatred for Chu Li was irreconcilable. They were willing to give up the Divine Astra Jade Badge if they had the chance to kill Chu Li. They would rather let the Star Gazing Pavilion grow stronger than to kill Chu Li. In addition to Tang Ye's identity as a prince, it would be easy for them to do so if they had enough items in exchange.
"If you have the Divine Astra Jade Badge, can you predict Xiao Qi's whereabouts?" Tang Ye asked slowly.
Li Xinghe frowned and thought about it. He nodded slowly. "I can try!"
"If you can't, I'll take back the Divine Astra Jade Badge!" Tang Ye scoffed. "It's impossible to remember the contents of the badge. You must use it now. You should give up on it!"
"… Alright!" Li Xinghe nodded with difficulty.
Even if he died and was killed by Chu Li, the Divine Astra Jade Badge would remain in the Star Gazing Pavilion. The Star Gazing Pavilion would grow stronger in the near future. It could even be on par with Goddess Attraction Mountain. In that case, he would not disappoint the Star Gazing Pavilion.
Tang Ye took out a jade badge from his inner pocket.
This jade badge was different from ordinary jade. It was the color of the sky and had a gentle luster. It was as if there was a clear spring flowing in it. It was indescribably moist, and one could not help but want to touch it.
Li Xinghe's eyes suddenly lit up. He was stuck to the jade badge and could no longer pull it away.
Tang Ye smiled when he saw Li Xinghe's reaction. He quickly hid his smile and slowly handed it to Li Xinghe.
Li Xinghe received it with both hands. His eyes were filled with infatuation.
He had put in so much effort, spent so much energy, probed and sneaked around. He had used all kinds of methods but failed to obtain it. Finally, he had obtained it today. He was overjoyed to finally have it.
"How is it? Is it the real Divine Astra Jade Badge?" Tang Ye asked calmly.
Li Xinghe stared at the blue jade badge and nodded. "It's real."
He knew it was real when he saw its unique expression.
Tang Ye asked, "Can you predict Xiao Qi's whereabouts now?"
