PS: The craziest birthday ever. I'll remember it, thank you!
"Counter?" King An's brows furrowed.
Mister Yuan nodded slowly.
"She counters me?" King An asked.
Mister Yuan sighed. "The noblewoman's destiny is too precious. Normal people can't afford it."
"Does that mean I'm a normal person?" King An sneered.
Mister Yuan shook his head. "Your Royal Highness, although you're a descendant of the Emperor, your destiny is inferior to the noblewoman's. It's best not to marry her."
"How dare you, Mister Yuan!" King An laughed out of anger.
It was the first time he heard someone say that his destiny was inferior to the noblewoman's.
Mister Yuan was certain that he would never be able to become one of the Nine Kings!
Thinking of this, his face was so gloomy that it could drip water.
The air in the study room seemed to have frozen.
Mister Yuan was unperturbed and continued, "Your Royal Highness, if you want to protect yourself, don't marry the noblewoman. My words are sincere. I hope Your Royal Highness will consider them!"
"The wedding is about to take place and you're asking me to cancel it?" King An scoffed.
Mister Yuan sighed. "That's the only way."
"What if I marry her?" King An sneered.
Mister Yuan shook his head. "I'm afraid Your Royal Highness won't be able to enjoy the rest of your life."
"Does that mean I'll die a violent death?"
"You might not die a violent death. You might be weak and sick …"
"Haha, I'm a Grandmaster. Sick?"
"Your Royal Highness, even a Celestial will deteriorate, let alone a mortal's body."
King An waved his hand. "I understand. Either way, you'll die a horrible death!"
Mister Yuan sighed and said helplessly, "If I didn't have my own rules, I wouldn't have said these things. I'll get myself killed!"
"What kind of person do you think I am?" King An said coldly. "Mister Yuan, speak your mind. I won't blame you!"
"Thank you for your magnanimity, Your Royal Highness." Mister Yuan closed fist saluted. He said boldly, "Your Royal Highness, the purple clouds above your head are supposed to be an auspicious sign. Unfortunately, the purple clouds are too thick and it's damaging Your Royal Highness' luck. The only thing you can do now is to stay away from the noblewoman. "
"What will happen to me if she dies?" King An asked.
Mister Yuan stroked his beard and shook his head. "It's unpredictable! … This noble was indescribably noble and naturally had the power of heaven and earth to protect him. Falling into a hopeless situation and coming back to life, there will always be someone to help and avert danger. Your Highness, it's best for you to stay far away. "
Prince An's expression was uncertain.
He thought of Siao Shi's Vitality Sealing Finger and her resurrection from the dead. If it was someone else, they would have died a long time ago. Yet, she was living better and better, her body had already recovered. In fact, after consuming the Longevity Grass, one's lifespan would far exceed that of ordinary people.
All the signs indicated that she had monstrous luck and was definitely not an ordinary person.
From the looks of it, it was clear that this person was an extremely noble person, and all of his methods were useless.
"So you're saying that we can't kill her?"
Mister Yuan shook his head and sighed. "It would be best if you don't kill them. Otherwise, if you were to be repelled by the energy of the world, I'm afraid that …"
"Mister Yuan, do you have a solution?" King An was starting to believe his words.
Mister Yuan said, "Your Highness has fallen into a disadvantageous situation. There's really no good way to resolve this. Canceling the wedding is the best plan. "
"What's the harm in canceling the wedding?" King An asked.
Mister Yuan muttered, "I'm afraid that it would be an external force, it can't be canceled!"
King An frowned and thought of his father and mother.
His mother would never allow him to cancel the wedding. She was most satisfied with Siao Shi. Once Mister Yuan said this, the first thing his mother would do was to kill him.
"What else?" King An asked.
"Kill the noble," Mister Yuan shook his head, "That's even harder."
"How about we get someone else to do it?" King An asked.
He thought of using the Ren Public House to kill Siao Shi, killing two birds with one stone.
Mister Yuan sighed, "I'm afraid that if we can't kill the noble, we'll be harmed instead. … There's another plan. "
"Say it!" King An quickly said.
"Your Highness can disperse your skills, disperse your forces, and live in seclusion in the forest. You can give up your delusions and return to simplicity. Naturally, you'll be able to secure a lifetime of riches and honor!" Mister Yuan said, "The noble will also become your Highness's noble, and your riches and honor will continue."
King An sneered and stared at him, "Mister Yuan, you sure know how to joke!"
Mister Yuan sighed, "If that's the case, then I'm left with the worst plan – to kill the noble."
"… It's late at night, and I'm tired. … Ding Jian, send Mister Yuan back." King An yawned and ordered, "I'll talk to Mister Yuan another day. Mister Yuan, please don't leave so that I can learn from you from time to time!"
Mister Yuan closed fist saluted, waved his feather fan twice, and followed Ding Jian out. His actions were elegant and refined.

Watching them leave, King An turned to look at Xu Ning.
Xu Ning stood there blankly, motionless like a Buddha statue. He seemed to be in a daze, without a trace of intelligence.
"Revered sir?" King An asked.
Xu Ning pressed his palms together, "This Mister Yuan is from the Li Dynasty."
King An's expression changed, "A spy from the Li Dynasty?"
"An eccentric person from the Li Dynasty." Xu Ning said.
"So, how trustworthy are his words?" King An frowned.
Xu Ning said, "Ninety percent true, ten percent false."
"What's his purpose?" King An scoffed.
He only needed to know his purpose. Once his purpose was clear, he would know which words were true and which were false.
Xu Ning said, "He'll use Your Royal Highness to weaken the High Duke's Public Houses and cause chaos in the martial arts world. The Li Dynasty will then take the opportunity to invade. … The Li Dynasty's martial arts world will be the vanguard. First, they will create chaos in the Ji Dynasty's martial arts world. With the High Duke's Public Houses to suppress them, the Imperial Court will not be able to extinguish the fire. This is the perfect time for the Li Dynasty's cavalry to invade!"
King An's expression changed drastically.
If that was the case, then the Ji Dynasty would be in danger!
"What a vicious method!" King An said coldly.
Xu Ning said, "The Great Ancestor established the Twelve High Duke's Public Houses. His wisdom is boundless!"
King An stared at him coldly, "Revered sir, are you advising me not to touch the High Duke's Public Houses?"
"I'm only expressing my opinion, I won't advise Your Royal Highness on what to do," Xu Ning said, "Everything is up to Your Royal Highness."
King An's expression softened, he scoffed, "How could I not know that the Twelve High Duke's Public Houses are the pillars of the country? Our ancestors established the Twelve High Duke's Public Houses with good intentions, but people's hearts change. Now, the High Duke's Public Houses are too powerful to be dealt with. Not only did they not suppress the forces of the martial arts world within their borders, they allowed them to grow, and even colluded with the sects of the martial arts world! In this way, if a few of the High Duke's Public Houses join forces, the ancestral foundation will be destroyed! "
"With the Emperor around, Your Royal Highness is worrying too much," Xu Ning said, "Not in position, not in politics."
"Now, a few of the High Duke's Public Houses have the tendency to join forces. Even if they don't rebel, they will be pressuring us," King An said coldly, "If the imperial court does not issue a decree, in the long run, the world will be in chaos!"
Xu Ning shook his head.
King An scoffed, "Revered sir, you don't agree with me?"
"The Emperor is wise and mighty, if Your Royal Highness can see it, how could the Emperor not?" Xu Ning pressed his palms together calmly, bowed towards the direction of the Imperial House, and said, "The Emperor is an Enlightened Master, why doesn't he make a decision?"
King An said, "No matter how wise Father is, there will always be times when he makes a mistake."
Xu Ning shook his head, "Not in position, not in politics. Your Royal Highness is looking at the problem from your position, not from the Emperor's position. With an Enlightened Master, which High Duke's Public House would dare to rebel? Your Royal Highness is worrying too much! "
