The Fourth Lady

Chapter 68 Words of a Daoist Priest

Xuanxin looked to Murong Jingxuan and thought of what Yunhen asked of him, "That Miss Su is of the

rare seven death fate, and Shizi just happened to be of the seven death fate as well. If Shizi can watch

over Miss Su, you can ensure Miss Su a worry free life."

"Priest, are you saying that I'm Yan'er's destined partner*?" Murong Jingxuan looked to Xuanxin and

said in a hard to believe manner.

(*TN: The term also implies husband in the archaic use of the word.)

Xuanxin looked to Murong Jingxuan and nodded, "What Shizi said is correct."

Xuanxin didn't give him the opportunity to reply and continued to speak again, "My senior, Yunhen

Priest, once predicted Miss Su's fortune when she was born:

Ten thousand beasts face the Phoenix, a desolate fated girl, a talented commander born under the

Ursa Major;

Sundial of nine stars, seven death fate, the five elements eight divine trigrams shine on the golden

dragon.

Most importantly, Su Qingyan's life sign was the rare seven death fate sign, short of familial fate and

love.

To reincarnate and reborn, all a solitary life."

This part, Murong Jingxuan was rather clear about. He remembered that when he was born, a daoist

priest had also told his fortune, and it was precisely the rare seven death fate.

The seven death fate, destined to be short of familial fate and love, to reincarnate and reborn, all a

solitary life.

Rather than saying cut of all family and love, it was more accurate to say that the seven death fate can

curse to death everyone close to them.

That's why only with two with the same fate together, can their fate change.

But he certainly never thought that Su Qingyan was also of the seven death fate.

"Shizi, if there's nothing else, I'll take my leave." Seeing Murong Jingxuan lost in thought, Xuanxin

turned and left before he could say anything.

Murong Jingxuan watched Xuanxin's gradually departing figure and smirked.

Yan'er, if that really is the case, then let me become the evil dragon that watches over you.

Murong Jingxuan didn't know why at this moment he particularly missed that slim figure, as if his entire

mind was filled with her every move and smile, like she was in his reach.

"Master, an incoming letter from Fengqing said that they've already left Ganyun Temple and are on

their way back." Fengshuang reported as he looked Murong Jingxuan, who was laying on the recliner.

Murong Jingxuan, who was in a good mood, softly replied with a 'en'.

"Although, Fengqing did mention something. Something that happened their way to Ganyun Temple."

Fengshuang looked to him and continued in a stern tone, "He said that on the way there, they

encountered an ambush, seems to be some mountain bandits, however they were all disposed of by

Miss Su."

When Murong Jingxuan heard this news, he got up slamming the table, "Why are you only telling me

now! Has it already been confirmed that it was the doing of the Jingguo Marquis manor?"

Fengshuang looked to his master, whose mood had suddenly turned worse. He inwardly gulped and

continued, "Master, according to Fengqing, it was Miss Su who didn't want to let Shizi worry, so the

message was only passed on the way back."

After hearing it was Su Qingyan's arrangement, his irritation from earlier vanished into thin air. "That girl

sure is impressive, simply didn't need me to worry for her."

"Master, moreover, on the way to Ganyun Temple, the silver python was with her too. There shouldn't

be any mishap." Fengshuang looked to Murong Jingxuan and replied respectfully, "If it goes without

incident, Miss Su should be able to return to the Su manor by tonight."

"Alright, understood. That's right. Lastly, is there any movement in Chunyuan Princess' manor?"

Murong Jingxuan recalled the sight of seeing Liushang leaving the city and couldn't help to furrow his This content provided by N(o)velDrama].[Org.

brows. Could it be that some internal problems arised at the Thousand Beast Pavilion?

"Master, there doesn't seem to be any problems at Chunyuan Princess' manor. Just, even now,

Liushang still hasn't returned. Don't know whether or not if something had happened at the Thousand

Beast Pavilion." Fengshuang politely replied.

Murong Jingxuan waved his hand at Fengshuang, "You can retire for now. There's nothing left for you

to do here, don't worry."

Fengshuang silently glanced to Murong Jingxuan, before turning to leave. He didn't want to touch upon

Murong Jingxuan's bottom line at this time. Furthermore, he understood just how much Su Qingyan

weighed in Murong Jingxuan's heart.

The grand Seven Star Palace Palace Master, ended up like this because of a girl. If word got out, who

would believe it?

But in the end, their master was also at the age where he should marry. But although they were

anxious, the person in question didn't have the slightest impression.

Now that he had a girl he admired, as his subordinates, they should also start making a move.

Furthermore, that kind of girl was also quite impressive.

She was worthy enough for their Shizi.

-----------------------------

During the whole way back, Su Qingyan kept thinking about the contents of that letter. She didn't know

whether that letter Yunhen left her was good or bad thing. She stared at the jade flute in her hand the

whole time. She didn't know where in the world Yunhen found this blood jade, but she knew that this

blood jade was rare in the world.

It already wasn't easy to find one, let alone for him to have found this second one.

The leftover pieces of the blood jade Qingyan had sealed away, waiting to see what kind of items she

can make with it when she gets back to the capital. She'd always wanted to have a hairpin made from

blood jade. On one hand it was a good hidden weapon, and on the other hand, it could also kill without

a trace.

She glanced at the jade bracelet around her wrist. For Chunyuan Princess to have given her this jade

bracelet, there certainly was a meaning to it. Perhaps Chunyuan still believed that inherently, she was a

little similar to Qilian Qingyan.

"Fourth sister, that white tiger looks so majestic." Su Qingcong said with a smile as he looked to the

white tiger that was walking next to the carriage. It was as if that white tiger was the guardian god of

this carriage, not to mention on the roof of this carriage, coiled a giant python.

Hearing Su Qingcong say this, Qingyan stroked his head, "Does Cong'er like this white tiger a lot?"

Su Qingcong looked to her and nodded.

"If Cong'er likes the white tiger, you can come to my yard everyday, I promise Xiaobai won't harm you."

Qingyan looked to him with a bright smile.

Su Qingcong's eyes widened with excitement when he heard this, "Fourth sister means to say that I

can become friends with that white tiger?"

Qingyan nodded, "If Cong'er isn't afraid, then naturally you two can become friends."

Su Qingcong turned his gaze to Deng Yan, as if waiting for her to say somehthing.

Seeing Su Qingcong's excited look, Deng Yan lifted her hand to stroke his head, "If your fourth sister

doesn't mind it, then naturally I'll agree to let you go."

Su Qingcong let out a satisfied smile, "Fourth sister, from now on, I will visit you often."

"Alright."

Su Qingxue found that the Su Qingyan before her eyes seems to have become more and more

different. There were times where she felt that Su Qingyan was very close, and times where she felt

Qingyan was distant.

But she knew that perhaps that was the natural born disposition of a head daughter, as if no one was

able to break her.

"Fourth sister, your poetry book, there are many places that I don't understand, can I ask for fourth

sister's help?" Su Qingxue looked to Qingyan also with a smile.

Qingyan looked to her and nodded with a smile, "Alright."

Qingyan pulled open the curtains, watching Diqiu come closer and closer into view. She thought of that

familiar figure, and for some reason, the corner of her lips slowly curled into a smile.

Murong Jingxuan, I hope I won't disappoint you.
