Chapter 433: So Jealous I Could Die 8

“Or it could be that the little lady really is that fated person and that’s why they purposely released fake news. Maybe they are trying to deceive the public to prevent us from taking the little lady away.” Shang Li’s hand that was holding chopsticks paused, then a flash appeared in his eyes. “If she really is, then she should be called the Harbinger.”

“Whether or not she is the Harbinger, we just need to take her away for some time and test the theory. If you manage to break through, then she is; if you don’t, then she isn’t.” Gongsun She deliberately added, “Or it could also be that everyone’s fated person is different. Maybe her destiny is only with me and not you.”

Somewhat convinced but also doubtful, Shang Li murmured, “The Harbinger is just a legend.”

Gongsun She looked at the silent Shang Li. He knew that Shang Li was beginning to be swayed by the story and said, “If you don’t believe it, I have a good suggestion.”

“Tell me.” It was definitely going to be a stupid suggestion.

“I am already somewhat familiar with the way your Northern Liang State Preceptor handles matters.” Gongsun She did not intend to use himself to test his theory because, as he was now, he had no chance of defeating the young grand master. He could only test things out by using someone else. “If we’re talking about the legend of the fated person, then there can only be one such person in the entire continent. If she really is the fated person, then she should have the ability to help a rank nine break through and ascend to grand mastership.”

Shang Li responded very quickly. He narrowed his eyes and said, “You want me to tell Li Ruoxuan about the legend of the Harbinger. You wish to see what this ruthless State Preceptor will do, to see if he could suddenly break through the rank nine limit.”

“That’s the gist of it.” Gongsun She considered himself to be rather benevolent still since he did not request for Shang Li to put himself in danger.

Shang Li pondered for a moment. After he finished eating, he went back to meditating.

Gongsun She did not ask much either.

He also did not say much.

The current day.

Slowly turned dark.

After nightfall…

Shang Li left quietly via the window.

Gongsun She thought to himself, ‘Plan success.’

If the Northern Liang State Preceptor died, or if Shang Li died, then they absolutely deserved it.

Shang Li walked slowly under the moonlight. The night of the first spring was still quite cold.

He very quickly arrived at the front of Li Ruoxuan’s residence and looked into the courtyard that was crawling with guards.

Like an agile eagle basked in moonlight, he swiftly snuck into the courtyard.

Li Ruoxuan was looking through some reports in the study when he suddenly sensed that the window seemed to have been opened by someone. He turned around quickly and was met by the sight of a very familiar silhouette.

Shang Li had entered his study through the window.

Li Ruoxuan’s heart was pounding as he put down the scrolls in his hand.

He turned and bowed before finding his voice to speak.

“M—Mr. Shang Li.”

The old man was dressed in a gray robe and he looked fathomless in the candlelight.

Li Ruoxuan could not help but shudder.

This was the power of a grand master…

Si Jin was usually so reserved that no one was able to feel his power at all. However, the rest of the grand masters in the continent had no qualms with displaying their strength.

They brought a kind of insurmountable pressure wherever they went.

Even Li Ruoxuan, the State Preceptor of Northern Liang, had to bow to him.

Shang Li walked forward and nodded toward Li Ruoxuan. “Sit.”

“Please, take a seat.” Li Ruoxuan did not dare sit down before the other and hurriedly moved a chair over. After Shang Li sat down, only then did he dare to take a seat on another chair.

The old man was silent.

Li Ruoxuan eventually said that he was going to prepare tea.

However, the old man rejected his offer.

Li Ruoxuan said, “I’ve already received news that you went to the Qi Residence earlier.”

The old man nodded.

He looked at him enigmatically.

Li Ruoxuan said carefully, “Since you’re not in Capital City, is the empress safe?”

Shang Li said, “Everyone has their eyes on Qingzhou City because of the young grand master’s appearance. The other nations also won’t dare to make a move right now; you don’t have to worry about this.”

“…”
