People in the Qin Dynasty sought good fortune and avoided misfortune.

Chapter 116, He Guanzi: It was nothing more than observing celestial phenomena at night.
After leaving the Fourth Young Master's residence, Xu Qing did not go directly to the palace, but instead headed towards the teahouse.

It was getting late, and he was worried that if Han Wangan returned to the palace rashly, he would discover the affair between him and Consort Hu.

He planned to go see his cheap teacher first. He had a feeling that the old man was responsible for Han Yu's leg injury, but he wasn't sure, so he decided to ask him.

If it really was Old Deng who did it, then he must learn this trick.

Not long after they left, Xu Qing arrived at the teahouse, where, unsurprisingly, He Guanzi was still there.

"Teacher," Xu Qing said, bowing.

"Hmm, why did you suddenly come back? Didn't you go to study medicine with Nian Duan?" He Guanzi asked.

"It's like this." Xu Qing recounted everything that had happened that day, emphasizing Han Yu's leg injury.

"Teacher, you are very knowledgeable. Have you ever seen injuries like this before? Do you know what methods could have caused this?"

Xu Qing looked at He Guanzi expectantly, a fawning smile on her face.

"Never heard of it, don't know," He Guanzi said, shaking his head.

"Teacher, how could you not know? You must know."

"What do you mean by that? You think I would do such a thing? I am a renowned sage, the former leader of the Heavenly Sect. Would I do something like this?"

"Oh, so you admit you know this kind of trick, right?"

Xu Qing revealed a meaningful smile. He knew it must have been that old scoundrel He Guanzi who did it, but well done.

As expected of his mentor, who taught him by example, he still has a lot to learn.

"What are you saying? What are you saying? Do you think I'm that kind of person? I was just observing the celestial phenomena at night and sensed that the Fourth Young Master Han Yu was about to face a calamity," He Guanzi said shamelessly.

Xu Qing is his disciple, and Han Yu attacked Xu Qing. Wouldn't that sever his lineage? How could he possibly tolerate such a thing?
If Xu Qing hadn't wanted to stay in South Korea, and if he hadn't intended for Xu Qing to continue honing her skills there, Han Yu's condition wouldn't have been just a simple case of being lame.

"Teacher, could you please teach me this astrology technique? I'll be able to observe the celestial phenomena in advance and avoid misfortune," Xu Qing said ingratiatingly.

"Really? You need astrology to ward off bad luck and attract good fortune?"

He Guanzi looked at Xu Qing meaningfully; he had never seen anyone with such great fortune as Xu Qing.

Such a person doesn't need astrology to predict good or bad fortune; not finding a treasure by chance is already considered bad luck.

Xu Qing's heart skipped a beat, and he looked at He Guanzi with some nervousness. Could it be that the sphere of light in his mind that could bring good fortune and avoid misfortune had been seen through?
Although he knew that his teacher was very powerful and had few rivals in the world, it was impossible for him to see through the brain and examine his consciousness.

Is this still a martial arts world? Did you really not secretly cultivate immortality techniques behind my back?

"Don't be nervous, kid. Anyone who knows the art of observing qi can see that you are carrying great fortune."

Hearing He Guanzi's words, Xu Qingcai felt relieved. He wasn't afraid that He Guanzi would know his secret, but he was afraid that he would offend some big shots in the future, and these big shots would also be able to see through him.

"Teacher, tell me the truth, is my luck really that good?" Xu Qing asked.

"Nonsense, think carefully about your recent experiences." He Guanzi looked at Xu Qing with disdain.

"Then I won't learn astrology. What is this 'qi observation' you mentioned earlier?"

Xu Qing rolled her eyes, her gaze full of a sly smile.

He Guanzi could easily see through Xu Qing's thoughts, so he shook his head and said, "You can't learn the Qi Observation Technique. This technique has extremely high requirements, and only a few people with talent can learn it."

"Teacher, how do you know I don't know if you don't teach me?" Xu Qing asked, unwilling to give up.

"You struggle even to deduce the changes of the I Ching and the Eight Trigrams, so how could you possibly learn the art of observing qi?"

“I am your disciple, and these things will be passed on to me sooner or later. There is nothing wrong with giving them to me in advance.”

"Then let's talk about it after I'm dead."

"Old Deng, it's only a matter of time before you return my inheritance to me!"

"You unfilial disciple! How dare you speak of your teacher like that!"

The General's Mansion, the Sparrow Tower.

Ji Wuye walked excitedly into the hall, where Emerald Tiger, who had been waiting there, greeted him with a smile.

"The General is so excited, it seems the news is true. The Fourth Young Master Han Yu has indeed suddenly contracted a serious illness and become a cripple," said Emerald Tiger.

"Hahaha, Tiger, you didn't see the way Han Yu walks; he walks like a wild duck." Ji Wuye laughed as he sat down and continued.
"Han Yu's illness came at a good time! Let's see who dares to oppose this general from now on!"

Zhang Kaidi and Han Yu were his most troublesome political enemies. Compared to Zhang Kaidi, Han Yu posed a greater danger to Ji Wuye because Han Yu was a prince of the royal family and was qualified to compete for the throne.

But now things are better. Han Yu is lame and has lost his chance to compete for the throne, so he can finally rest easy.

"Congratulations, General! You've eliminated Han Yu, this major threat. You truly are blessed by Heaven, otherwise how could Han Yu have suddenly fallen ill?" Emerald Tiger said obsequiously.

"Yes, Tiger, you're right. I am indeed blessed by Heaven, otherwise I wouldn't be where I am today. Anyone who opposes me will not have a good end," Ji Wuye said with a smile.

When he led his troops to fight against the Chu army, the Chu army commander suddenly died, which gave him the opportunity to defeat the Chu army.

Now, just after Han Yu finished plotting against him and wanted to use the Mo family to get rid of him, he suddenly contracted a serious illness and became a cripple.

Besides divine intervention, Ji Wuye also considered other reasons. After all, he hadn't sent anyone to harm Han Yu, and in Xinzheng, no one but him had the ability to do so.

"With Han Yu gone, Zhang Kaidi is no longer a threat. As long as Xu Qing gives him the medicine, the General will soon have complete control of Han," said Emerald Tiger.

"That woman said that Xu Qing has already agreed to this matter, and that day will not be far off," Ji Wuye said with a loud laugh.

Just as Ji Wuye was fantasizing about eliminating Han Yu and Zhang Kaidi and becoming the uncrowned king of Korea, Mo Ya entered the hall.

"General, the Straw-Cloaked Man has sent a message," Mo Ya said.

The smiles on Ji Wuye and Emerald Tiger's faces vanished instantly, replaced by serious expressions.

"What news?" Ji Wuye asked.

"Liu Yi was defeated at the front, and the Qin army conquered the border. Their army showed no sign of stopping and was heading towards Yewang."

"The spies of the man in the straw raincoat in Xianyang reported that the Qin court seems to intend to completely destroy the Han state."

Upon hearing this, Ji Wuye and Emerald Tiger's expressions instantly turned ugly.
