After he finished speaking, Yu Qingshan stared at him straight, his tone solemn, "When Young Master Xiao had not yet entered this world, I could only rely on the little connection I had with you to calculate where you would appear, but I could not predict anything else.

But now, this old Taoist cannot figure out the situation of your two sons. It seems similar, but also slightly different.

When Young Master Xiao was not in this world, I could not calculate everything about you. But when you entered this world and I established contact with you, I was able to calculate it.

As for Young Master Xiao’s two children, I can only predict their lives up to the time before they came of age, and there is nothing to be said for them after that.”

Yu Qingshan didn't play dumb with him. He frowned and paused for a moment, "No, they are not exactly the same. I calculated that the fate of Master Xiao's youngest son after he comes of age is truly uncertain, while the fate of his eldest son is completely uncertain.

In other words, the fate of Mr. Xiao's two sons is closely related, and your younger son affects the fate of your older son."

Xiao Li understood. This meant that Xue'er's fate was uncertain, just like he was in a different world at that time, and Jing'er would be affected by Xue'er's situation.

How should I put it? Sometimes knowing too much is quite frustrating.

He asked as he drove, "Do you mean that Xue'er will travel from this world to another world just like I did?"

"Traveled to another world?" Yu Qingshan repeated his words with a frown, and suddenly his eyes lit up. "Yes, yes, that's it, why can't I figure it out?

"Mr. Xiao, I told your husband that you have a talent for cultivation, and it seems I was right. If you ever change your mind, I will accept you as my disciple at any time."

Xiao Li: “…” He had so much to complain about.

He glanced at Yu Qingshan and said in a speechless voice, "Not long ago, you said you wanted to take my two sons as disciples, and now you want to take me as your disciple. Are you asking us to disregard the ethics of calling each other brothers?"

What a great way to turn Tiangang upside down!

"Ahem!" Yu Qingshan tilted his head slightly uncomfortably and looked away. "Isn't your son's future uncertain right now? I'll accept you as my disciple first. Later, when they want to become my disciples, I'll expel you. It won't affect your deep father-son relationship."

"Ha!" Xiao Li sneered, "Are you letting my son step on me to get to the top? Why do I feel like you're trying to sow discord between us?"

"Hehe, just pretend I didn't say anything." Yu Qingshan changed his words so quickly.

Before leaving, he and his master, uncles, and brothers worked together to tell fortunes. The situation in the Great Zhou was still not optimistic, and Xiao Li was still the only one who could break the deadlock.

This was a time of natural disasters and man-made disasters. Even if he was asked to worship Xiao Li as his ancestor, he would agree immediately, let alone just change his words.

They had known each other for more than three years, and Xiao Li had become accustomed to his "opportunistic" attitude. He sneered lightly and did not continue the topic.

"I'm not interested in being a Taoist priest, but I've suddenly become interested in fortune-telling. Let me make a deal. You teach me how to tell fortunes, and I promise to do you three favors. How about that?"

Regardless of whether what he said about Xue'er traveling to another world after she became a crowned child was true or not, he would make preparations in advance. However, if possible, he did not want Xue'er to leave here one day.

After all, time travel is something that can only be encountered by chance. There are good and bad beginnings, and no one can be sure that the other world is a good one.

Knowing that his original world was already the end of the world, he could not find the way back and had never thought about going back.

Whether Xue'er travels to his previous world or goes to another world, the first thing she may face is danger, and even if he, as a father, is very capable, he is afraid that he will be unable to do anything.

In addition, Xiao Li believed in Yu Qingshan's fortune-telling skills, but not completely.

If possible, he wanted to try it himself to see what the fate of his two sons would be, instead of just believing whatever Yu Qingshan said.

Yu Qingshan also noticed his plan and understood it. He agreed without hesitation, "I think Mr. Xiao's suggestion is very good."

"Since you're okay, you can teach me now." Xiao Li raised the corner of his mouth and looked at him with a smile, without any shame of "forcing" others.

"...Okay, okay, I will start teaching you now." Yu Qingshan smiled helplessly and shook his head, recalling how his master taught him, and then told the story.

……

While on the road, Xiao Li was listening to Yu Qingshan talking about the "Heavenly Book", and finally learned how to tell fortunes on the day he arrived in Yangzhou City.

Yu Qingshan looked at him in surprise and delight. "Young Master Xiao is truly gifted. I am the most gifted among my fellow disciples. Even when I was young, I spent over ten years studying before I could successfully become a master. Young Master Xiao has only taken ten days. I am truly the envy of others."

"You're the one who's envious, aren't you?" Xiao Li mercilessly exposed his attempt to save face and threw him a ginseng wrapped in oil paper. "Now it's everyone else's turn to envy you."

Yu Qingshan:? ? ?

Confused, he took the ginseng, pinched its shape, and smelled it. When he guessed that it might be ginseng, Yu Qingshan couldn't help but gasp.

Speaking of good stuff, Young Master Xiao has the most. Not only does he have life-saving medicine, but he also has many things and food that he has never seen before.

This ginseng seems to be hundreds of years old. It is just right for replenishing the lost energy and making up for the lifespan consumed by practicing forbidden techniques.

Although he always said that he didn't care how long he lived, as long as he was alive, he never thought about dying in vain.

Earlier, he had received several ginseng roots and some medicinal herbs he needed from Young Master Xiao, which were worth far more than what he and his master had given him.

He sighed, put the ginseng into his bag, and said solemnly: "Master Xiao, after everything is settled and we return to the capital, I will personally ask the master to read the fortunes of the two young masters."

Xiao Li didn't intend to do this, but he wouldn't turn away an unexpected surprise, so he nodded lightly, "Of course that's good."

Taoist Qingxu is now the national teacher. Apart from surveying the national destiny, he only serves the current emperor. It is said that many dignitaries have been rejected by him. Later, he even publicly stated that he would no longer predict people's fortunes.

In this case, the other party is either a liar with only a pretty face, or a Taoist priest with real skills. Compared with the two, he feels that the latter is more likely.

"Don't worry, Young Master Xiao, the old Taoist master will definitely agree." Yu Qingshan breathed a sigh of relief, thinking to himself: I can finally repay some of Young Master Xiao's kindness.

Two carriages, one in front and one behind, slowly entered Yangzhou City from the city gate, and people on the roadside looked at them in unison.

At the same time, Xiao Ruixue, who had been in the carriage for half a month, finally couldn't hold it in anymore. She took advantage of Lu Yuan's inattention and sneaked out of the carriage under the cover of Xiao Ruijing.

When the little guy squatted beside Xiao Li, he did not forget to put his chubby little fingers on his pink lips and looked up at him, "Shh!"

Xiao Li lowered his eyes, looked at him lovingly, then held him on his lap and let him sit.

The "conspiracy" was successful, and little Ruixue's round and bright eyes curved up, making her as cute as a little dumpling, making people want to rub and squeeze her.

Xiao Li thought so and did so, not sparing the little guy's chubby face or his equally chubby arms and legs.

Little Ruixue pushed his hand hard, but it had no effect at all, and her little face turned red.

Because he had "escaped from prison", Xiao Ruixue remembered not to make any sound, lest his little father hear him and take him back.

Because he couldn't make a sound, he didn't dare ask his father to stop bullying him. He could only wrinkle his nose in grievance, pout his lips and hum silently at him.

Ever since the little guy "escaped from prison", Xiao Li's smile has never faded. He put his hand on the little guy's belly and touched it gently.

It was already noon, and more than three hours had passed since their last meal. Normally, even if they were in a hurry, they would have stopped to eat at this time.

Today, since we were not far from Yangzhou City, we did not stop. We planned to go into the city to find an inn to stay in and have lunch at the inn.

Logically speaking, everyone, whether adults or children, should be hungry by now, but this does not include the little guy on his lap.

Xiao Ruixue's belly was still bulging, and it looked like she had eaten something to fill her stomach.

Xiao Li changed his face, lowered his eyes and looked at him with a smile, "Baby, what delicious food did you eat?"

"Um~no~nothing~" The little guy's eyes were vague. It was obvious that he had eaten something, but for some reason he was unwilling to say it.

Seeing this, Xiao Li knew that this thing was probably not fed to him by his husband, but was probably secretly fed to him by his brother.

I just don't know whether this happened with my husband's tacit consent or without his knowledge.

He gently scratched the little guy's nose with his finger and said, "You won't be able to eat for a while. Wait and see how your little daddy teaches you a lesson."

"Yes, I can eat it~" Little Ruixue retorted softly with a puffed face. Her black and round eyes were like black grapes, bright and clear, more dazzling than any gem Xiao Li had ever seen.

Even though he is only two years old now, his eyes already have a hint of his little father's charming peach blossom eyes.

Looking at the little guy who looked just like his husband, Xiao Li felt so soft in his heart that he lowered his head and kissed his little face, saying softly, "Okay, okay, baby, you can eat."

Little Ruixue didn't know that some words were just for teasing. After believing them, she puffed out her chest with a very proud expression, "I can eat a big bowl~"

Hearing the baby voice, Xiao Li's smile grew even wider, "Yes, the baby can eat a big bowl of rice."

Regardless of whether it is true or not, he has provided sufficient emotional value as a father.

The little guy was so confused that he didn't even remember that he had escaped from prison, and his voice gradually became louder.

In the carriage, Lu Yuan looked at little Ruijing standing in front of the curtain with a headache, trying to reason with him, "Jing'er, can you please let your little daddy go out?"

Little Ruijing pursed his lips and shook his head twice, "No, Daddy will tell the baby, he will be scared, Daddy can't go out."

As long as the little daddy doesn't go out, the baby won't be scolded and the baby won't be afraid, so he can't let the little daddy go out, he has to protect the baby.

Seeing him protecting his brother so much, Lu Yuan was naturally very happy, but some things cannot be taken lightly.

After failing to communicate again, he leaned back, crossed his arms, snorted softly, and complained to Xiao Li outside, "Husband, your son bullied me!"

His tone was not aggrieved at all, but little Ruijing suddenly panicked, his eyes widened, and he looked at him in confusion, "Jing'er, Jing'er didn't bully little daddy."

"I know you didn't!" Lu Yuan lowered her voice and looked at him smugly, "Isn't it enough if your father believes it?"

Little Ruijing: "..."

Xiao Ruijing had never experienced such vicious human nature, and he didn't know how to react.

Just then, his father's voice came from outside, and it sounded as if he believed what his little father said, "Did Jing'er or Xue'er bully you? When we get to the inn, let your elder brother have an extra bowl of rice and don't give it to your younger brother, okay?"

Xiao Ruijing:???

Let him, who has a small appetite, eat an extra bowl of rice? Let his brother, who has a big appetite, eat one less bowl of rice? How can this be allowed?

However, before he could protest, he heard the voice of the little dad who was watching the fun and not minding the trouble, "Well...hitting the child hurts my hands, so let it be!"

As Lu Yuan spoke, she complained in her heart: Xiao Li, just spoil them! Look how you've spoiled Jing'er and Xue'er to the point of them being lawless!

Little Ruijing didn't know what he was thinking. He just felt like the sky was about to fall. His head drooped and he looked listless.

Lu Yuan felt both amused and angry. She reached out and held him on her lap so that they were facing each other. She held his little face and made him look up at her.

Little Ruijing's bright black eyes were a little watery and his eye sockets were a little red, but he showed no signs of crying.

Since he was born, he has never been a crybaby. Every time he cries, it is because his younger brother cries and he cries too.

Seeing him like this, Lu Yuan couldn't help but feel soft-hearted, but there were some matters of principle that she couldn't compromise on, so she could only harden her heart and look at him with a stern face, "Baby and you are only two years old, you're not even as tall as an adult's thigh. If you're out of sight of daddy and little daddy, someone else could just reach out and pick you up. Where do you expect daddy and me to find you?

If you can't see me and your father anymore, will you be scared? After a long time, will you still remember what your father and I look like?

If you are taken away by someone, you will not be able to eat and sleep, play after sleeping, and eat again after playing. You will be sold to work, and if you don’t finish the work, you will not be given food and will starve.

……

Do you know you’re wrong?”

Little Ruijing hugged his waist tightly, tears finally falling silently from the corners of his eyes. He nodded sullenly in his arms and admitted his mistake obediently, "Jing'er knows I'm wrong."

Lu Yuan felt bad seeing him crying, but when they were away from home, they grew up gradually and had more and more ideas. Now everyone knew that one of them was covering for the other and ran away. If they didn't tell anyone, wouldn't they be in trouble in the future?

He sighed, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped his tears, "Jing'er, don't cry. Little Daddy is just afraid that you will be snatched away. You are Little Daddy's life. If he can't find you, Little Daddy will not be able to live."

"Jing'er won't let little daddy lose him." Little Ruijing looked up at him, his eyes red and tearful, but his gaze was extremely firm.

But they didn't know that what the young Jing'er said at this time would play a significant role later.
