638 A ritual (1/2)

The copper coin was still trembling slightly like it was about to jump out into the hands of Zong Shou.

Zong Shou found it weird. Why did this thing seem like it recognized him as its master? What was the reason for this?

Although these Wen King Divination Coins were God Artifacts, the use of this item…

Shaking his head, Zong Shou laughed, ”Unfortunately, I am not good in Divination techniques, these things in my hands are a waste. They will only be in the warehouse collecting dust…”

The moment these words were spoken, the few coins calmed down, laying on the ground quietly.

Then, Zong Shou looked toward Kong Rui in shock.

To be able to activate and use these coins, even if it was the roughest use showed that this person had great ability.

It was maybe really the case to say that this person's Divination techniques were only below Zhongxuan.

”I heard that Country Father-in-Law was the supervisor of the Directorate of Astronomy and Calendar?”

Kong Rui was stunned and didn't react in time. Zong Shou's expression turned solemn slowly.

”It is indeed a waste for Country Father-in-Law to do nothing here. Are you willing to be the Imperial Astronomer of my Dynasty?”

Imperial Astronomer?

Kong Rui thought back to a few months ago when his position of supervisor was removed. His passion died and he thought that he would be a free bird for the rest of his life, never working ever again.

However, at this moment he was feeling totally different.

Looking closely at Kong Yao and then at Zong Shou, Kong Rui bowed, ”Does Kong Rui dare to not listen to your orders? The Ruler's trip is extremely dangerous and you should be really careful!”

Zong Shou laughed, casually tossing a set of silver armor and a Spiritual Sword to Kong Yao.

The armor had silver snow patterns and the sword was the Grade-2 Magical Sword that Zong Shou had specially ordered from Kongqi Sect half a year ago.

He was lazy to name it and just called it Alkaid.

Kong Yao picked in up in her hands and was totally shocked.

This silver snow pattern armor was hers, she was getting what she lost back. For some reason she loved the sword and could see that its value wasn't ordinary.

However, what was the reason for Zong Shou giving her such an item?

She thought that for the rest of her life she wouldn't have many chances to touch weapons and armor.

”This time Huizhou Island is a little problematic and I would have to go personally!”

When he said that, the corner of his lips curled up coldly. This matter really made him unhappy.

However, then he came back to his senses.

”You can follow me to war!”

Kong Yao exclaimed, looking over at Zong Shou in disbelief. However, there was hesitation in her expression.

Then, Zong Shou smiled and added, ”Speaking of which, you must help me share this calamity as it was caused by you, do you really want to stay away from it? If anything bad happens I will use you to block arrows.”

Spending so much effort, using so many methods to obtain Kong Yao from Great Shang, he obviously didn't do so for this future Top Commander to rot in his palace.

Kong Yao's eyebrow furrowed, seemingly really furious, ”I will go then!”

She cleanly placed the silver armor over her body and kept the sword. The bored and casual demeanor that formed after a year was totally gone. She pressed on her waist in a heroic manner, her armor and clothes were sharp. She returned to the way she was half a year ago, that extremely overbearing female general.

Kong Rui was shocked as he looked on from the side. So that was the case…

A wise Ruler had high hopes for her, no wonder she was like a bright pearl, charging into the heavens in an unstoppable manner!

This was also the reason why the Gantian Monster King wanted him to come over to Gantian Mountain.

He didn't feel anger, just honored that such a person had such high opinion of him.

He then looked towards the few copper coins on the ground.

Before this, he could only see extreme disaster hiding some good fortune but now there was some minute differences within.

So he really didn't calculate it wrongly! Alkaid descends, resonating with the stars... Yao'er might not be a Top General talent but her name will sweep the battlefields and she will be in charge of huge wars!

In that instant, if not for him paying attention to prevent himself from disrespecting the Ruler he would have laughed out loud. Kong Rui really wanted to laugh.

He wasn't wrong, Zhongxuan was the one who was wrong! It was brother! It was His Majesty!

He had actually won a round over Zhongxuan who was said to be unparalleled in Divination...

Although he said that he had to rush over to Huizhou Island to take charge, he couldn't just go right away.
