Great, it's just a lackey, we're saved!

Chapter 123 Deducing Heavenly Secrets (CEO Jia and the Arrogant Sister +1)

Zhu Qi's words clearly linked the problem of Kongshan Temple to the imperial palace.

This made Jiang Yueli, who was already feeling uneasy, even more nervous!

After all, the Great Zhou Emperor's recent behavior has been too abnormal.

"Zhu Qi, this is the first time we've met, so we can't really call ourselves acquaintances," Jiang Yueli said, having changed her self-reference to show a distance. "The inner palace is a forbidden area. Your cultivation is profound. If you really want to go in, I think no one can stop you. Why do you insist on having me lead you?"

Zhu Qi knew that his request was indeed excessive.

He clasped his hands together and said sincerely, "Your Highness, my Kongshan Temple has a troubled fate, and it's not just the disciples' cultivation that has stagnated."

“When one’s cultivation cannot improve, some people may even have evil thoughts. When I entered the capital, I noticed something was wrong.”

"That day, I first met Hu Youniang by the river and branded her with a demon-repelling mark in order to test whether there were any disciples of Kongshan Temple nearby."

Zhou Wei was somewhat surprised. It turned out that Zhu Qi had met Hu Youniang before and knew that she was a spirit.

She and Jiang Yueli exchanged a glance, both knowing that Zhu Qi's test was only for one person.

That's roundness!

Zhou Wei relied on her understanding of the plot and her discussions and analysis with Jiang Yueli.

Only then did they arrive at the conclusion that Yuanxing's soul had been transferred to Jiang Nianyue.

Zhu Qi didn't have God's perspective, but his cultivation was profound, and he keenly perceived the traces of Yuanxing.

Use the demon-exorcising brand to test them!

Zhou Wei asked curiously, "Did you find out anything?"

Zhu Qi's expression became somewhat complicated.

"It's strange, but at the grand ceremony of literary tradition that day, the woman named Mei Xingyue and her youngest son had similar skills to those of my Kongshan Temple."

"But……"

Zhou Wei knew why Zhu Qi was conflicted; he fundamentally didn't believe that Yuan could successfully transfer souls.

No one has ever succeeded in doing this before, from ancient times to the present.

Moreover, Zhu Qi sensed the aura of roundness from both of them.

This made it impossible for him to determine whether Yuanxing had truly transferred his soul.

If it's a soul transfer, which one, Mei Xingyue or Jiang Nianyue, is the host?

Zhou Wei could answer this question, but she felt that Zhu Qi's visit was not simply about Yuanxing's matter.

Zhu Qi went straight to the point, and the eldest princess didn't beat around the bush either.

"Zhu Qi, I have some connection with the blessed lands and grotto heavens, so I have heard about Yuan Xing's affairs."

“The four members of the Mei family claimed that Yuanxing was Jiang Nianyue’s master, so they must have met Yuanxing.”

With Jiang Yueli's prompting, Zhu Qi understood that the person Yuan Xing truly had his soul transferred to was Jiang Nianyue.

For Zhu Qi, Yuan Xing was someone he was determined to clean house!

Perhaps noticing Zhu Qi's resolute expression, Zhou Wei asked, "Zhu Qi, Monk Yuanxing is unorthodox and wants to go his own way."

"In the end, it's because of the problems at your Kongshan Temple that he acted this way."

"Why do you look so resentful? Is it because Yuanxing used the Soul Transfer Technique to tarnish the reputation of Kongshan Temple?"

Zhu Qi shook his head.

Kongshan Temple doesn't want to interfere with what path Yuanxing wants to take.

Because he had already betrayed Kongshan Temple!

But his biggest mistake was stealing the most important thing from Kongshan Temple when he was expelled from the temple.

"Do you two sisters know why the monks of Kongshan Temple have stagnated in their cultivation?"

Jiang Yueli and Zhou Wei exchanged a glance and both shook their heads to indicate that they did not know.

Zhu Qi explained, "We hadn't noticed the reason until one day, when I was cultivating, I suddenly sensed an abnormal energy flow within the blessed land. Using my Celestial Realm cultivation combined with the Buddhist teachings of Kongshan Temple, I was shocked to discover that someone was stealing the fortune of my Kongshan Temple blessed land!"

Upon hearing this, both Jiang Yueli and Zhou Wei were shocked!

Stealing the blessed land's fortune?

Who is so generous?

Zhou Wei, the person who transmigrated into the book, was even more shocking than Jiang Yueli.

She had previously speculated that the women of destiny stole the original female protagonist's luck, which led to their achievements in the book.

Now someone is actually able to steal the fortune of a blessed land!

This……

That's simply incredible!

The auspicious energy of a blessed land is the result of thousands of years of accumulated heritage.

This is the fundamental reason for the existence of blessed lands and grotto-heavens!

No wonder the monks at Kongshan Temple have stagnated in their spiritual practice.

The blessed land's fortune has been drained; how can they possibly break through?

"Has it been found out who did this?"

Zhu Qi sighed and shook his head: "No, someone has used secret techniques to obscure the secrets of heaven, keeping the monks of my Kongshan Temple in a fog."

"Until a few years ago, things took a turn for the better when Kongshan Temple obtained a Heavenly Secret Stone."

"The Heavenly Secret Stone was created by the creation of heaven and earth in a blessed land, and it can be used to deduce the secrets of heaven!"

"Several eminent monks from Kongshan Temple have joined forces to deduce the truth using this stone, and we are about to dispel the mystery."

"Who would have thought that the Heavenly Secret Stone would be stolen by Yuanxing..."

After hearing this, Zhou Wei also felt sorry for Kongshan Temple.

They were just one step away, but because of a petty person, all their efforts were in vain.

Jiang Yueli remained silent until she heard that someone was stealing the blessed land's fortune, at which point she clenched her fists nervously.

When she heard from Zhu Qi that Kongshan Temple's divination of heavenly secrets was about to succeed, her heart jumped into her throat.

Upon hearing that Yuanxing had stolen the Heavenly Secret Stone, Jiang Yueli suddenly felt inexplicably relieved.

Even she herself didn't know where this emotion came from.

What does the matter of Kongshan Temple have to do with her? Why should she be so nervous?

Zhou Wei's heart stirred, remembering Zhu Qi's request to enter the palace.

He then asked, "The Mei family of four is now living in the Crown Prince's Eastern Palace. You want to enter the palace, is it for Yuanxing's sake?"

“The roundness is only one aspect; the most important thing is the result of the celestial deduction,” Zhu Qi said, looking at Jiang Yueli. “Although Kongshan Temple has not yet cleared the fog, it has glimpsed a trace of the truth with the help of the Celestial Stone.”

"The celestial secrets indicate that the auspicious fortune of Kongshan Temple has fallen within the Great Zhou Imperial City!"

Upon hearing this, Jiang Yueli's face paled.

Zhou Wei noticed that the princess was acting strangely and reached out to support her.

“Princess, this matter is still undecided and may not necessarily be related to His Majesty.”

Jiang Yueli looked at Zhou Wei in surprise: "Do you know what I'm worried about?"

Zhou Wei smiled; she and Jiang Yueli had different perspectives on the issue.

In Jiang Yueli's heart, the Great Zhou Emperor has always been a loving father.

But Zhou Wei felt that there was something else mixed in with the emperor's fatherly love!

Now, whenever Zhu Qi mentions the imperial palace, Jiang Yueli immediately thinks of the Great Zhou Emperor.

This can only illustrate one problem.

Over the course of more than a decade, Jiang Yueli had her doubts.

But the Great Zhou Emperor was too good to her, so good that he did many outrageous things for her.

This fatherly love blinded Jiang Yueli, causing her to suppress her doubts.

Zhu Qi's appearance was merely a catalyst, forcing Jiang Yueli to confront the truth.

Zhou Wei felt that she should bring Zhu Qi to the palace tomorrow.

She had been curious about the Great Zhou Emperor for a long time!

Now that a high-ranking monk from the Celestial Realm has made a move to test her, she can take this opportunity to observe him.

However, this matter still requires Jiang Yueli's consent.

The princess's gaze fell on her fox fur cloak.

After a long pause, he slowly spoke: "Zhu Qi, I will take you to the palace tomorrow."
