”Zhu Er, let's go in!” Shui Qinan walked forward and knocked on the door of the temple as she shouted, ”I am Shui Qinan, and am here to pay a visit to the State Grandmaster!”
Not long later, a child around eleven or twelve years old came running out from the inner courtyard with his hands clasped in a respectful manner, ”Benefactor, the State Grandmaster has invited you.”
The little boy turned towards Shui Qinan and Zhu Er and made a gesture of invitation, saying, ”Ladies, follow me.”
Shui Qinan returned the greeting and said indifferently: ”Thank you for your trouble!”
Zhu Er blinked her eyes curiously at the little child. She had never seen a monk in the temple before, no, this child was not a monk either. Zhu Er asked the child: ”Young master, what's your name?”
The little boy had never seen anyone before in the temple, he was so embarrassed by Zhu Er's sudden enthusiasm that his face turned red, and he replied: ”Yuan Kong.”
Shui Qinan continued to look at the arrangement of the temple. There was not much difference between the one on the side and the one on the side, it was even simpler than the other temples. However, perhaps it was because this kind of Rofa Temple seemed more sacred and pure.
”Please follow me.” Yuan Kong led the way for Shui Qinan.
”Both of you, this is the place. The Imperial Advisor has been waiting for a long time. Please come in!” Shui Qinan saw that Kong Chang stood outside the door and bowed to them before he left. Shui Qinan stepped forward, and after entering, she heard a voice she seemed to have heard before.
”I said I would see you again, young lady. How have you been?” An elderly stood up from the praying mat happily and said to Shui Qinan.
”Ah, master, it's that old man.” Zhu Er immediately shouted out upon seeing her face, Shui Qinan never thought that her teacher would actually be that strange old man who met her at the city gate, and told her many things she did not understand. The relationship between these people was truly strange, she had long since met the State Grandmaster she wanted to meet, it was just that she did not recognize him.
The Imperial Advisor saw that Zhu Er did not have the intention to blame him for her rudeness, but instead laughed: ”Eastern Azure Dragon, Western White Tiger, Southern Vermillion Bird, Northern Xuan Wu.”
Shui Qinan looked over after hearing what the State Grandmaster said with a dangerous gaze. Seeing that Shui Qinan was like that, the State Grandmaster stroked his beard happily and said: ”Hehe, don't worry, this old man has no ill intentions. You already have two of the four heavenly images, if you continue down this path, I'm afraid that the heavens will not be able to tolerate you anymore. ”
Shui Qinan coldly looked at the State Grandmaster and said, ”My fate might not be controlled by the heavenly passage. Could Senior State Grandmaster tell me what the Phoenix imprint I mentioned that day is?”
The State Grandmaster laughed and shook his head at Shui Qinan: ”I cannot say, heaven's will cannot be leaked, but when it comes to fate, I had already calculated it for you, and did not know your fate. When humans were born, their fate was already decided, but you did not. ”This old man is only guessing. This matter of the heavens is not something that an old man like me can pry into.”
Shui Qinan thought about her fantasy about the stone steps and furrowed her brows. In just a few moments, she had recovered. She looked at the Imperial Advisor arrogantly, ”I don't want to know how Heaven's Mandate is.”
The Imperial Advisor continued to smile, but a hint of praise flashed through his eyes. ”Good. There are thousands of people in this world, but there are few who can keep their true hearts in check. I hope you remember yourself. ”
