The current Imperial Master was picked up by the previous Imperial Master, who then took him in as his apprentice. He had no name, and the previous Imperial Master called him "Awu," so he took "Awu" as his own name.

After the previous Imperial Master passed away, he became the new Imperial Master. He had been staying in the palace and had never left. He actually longed to see the outside world, but the previous Imperial Master told him that his mission was to "explore good and bad luck and predict the unknown" for the Chen Kingdom. He could not leave at will, otherwise there would be unexpected consequences.

Awu has always followed the teachings of the previous imperial master and has stayed in the Imperial Observatory, never going out.

At first, everything was fine, nothing happened, and he just continued to perform divination for Chen Kingdom as usual. However, divination was not always accurate, and sometimes there would be some deviations, but the final results were not much different.

until……

Lian Qing, the third daughter of the Prime Minister's Mansion, was born.

He discovered Lian Qing's fate - the fate of a phoenix!

He knew that if he told Chen Fusi about this matter, given Chen Fusi's character, the Prime Minister's Mansion would be in dire straits.

So he kept it secret.

Destiny can be changed, but there's a price to pay. Otherwise, what are these imperial masters for? Is it just to predict good and bad luck and survey fate?

However, the result was still wrong, and Chen Fusi found out about it!

However, in his memory, he did not tell Chen Fusi about this matter. How did Chen Fusi know about it? Awu was puzzled.

Later on, as time went by, Awu found that some things were becoming increasingly out of his control. Clearly... he had not issued such an order, but the people at the Imperial Observatory said that he had issued it.

Everything was going increasingly wrong.

Awu wondered if someone was impersonating him?

So, he used the books left by the previous national teacher and found a formation that could go back in time. Although it would consume a lot of strength and even vitality, Awu didn't care. He wanted to figure out what was going on.

until……

He saw himself.

What the hell was going on? Why was it him? Could it be… that there was another person inside him?

Awu used his ability to explore his body, and really found some problems. It seemed that there was something else in his body.

Awu recalled the things he had forgotten before and discovered a pattern from them - the Prime Minister's Mansion, or to be exact, the third lady of the Prime Minister's Mansion.

So, that thing's target is Lian Qing?

Why? Is it just because of the 'Phoenix Fate'?

Awu felt that things didn't seem that simple.

So, he used a formation to temporarily trap that thing's movements. This was also the reason why he had to rest and recuperate from time to time over the years. Because he was fighting against another thing in his body.

However, in the past one or two years, Awu found that the power of that thing seemed to be getting stronger and stronger, and he could no longer resist it.

At the last moment, Awu tried his best to resist, but... he still failed.

I just hope that the preparations he made will be useful...

Prime Minister's Mansion

"Sir, there's a child outside who handed a note to the doorman, asking him to open it himself."

"Bring it to me and see."

"Yes." Lin Mo handed the note in his hand to Lian Luosang.

"The Prime Minister's Mansion is in imminent danger. Be careful of Chen Fusi and the Imperial Master."

"Where's that kid?" Lian Luosang stood up hastily. "Is he still there?"

"The doorman said that the child ran away immediately after delivering the note and we couldn't catch up." Lin Mo was a little worried. "Sir, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

"It's okay." Lian Luosang pinched the tip of his nose. "How are Lin San and the others preparing?"

"all the best."

"Okay, I understand. Tell them to be careful."

"Yes, my lord."

Lin Mo retreated, while Lian Luosang stared at the note in his hand in a daze.

Of course he recognized the handwriting, but he couldn't understand why such a note was sent to him? And why did he have to be careful? Didn't the Imperial Preceptor always stay out of the disputes between the emperor and his subjects, or between families?

This……

what happened?

at the same time

Zhenyuan Palace

Qi Zhen also received the same message, but his note was different from Lian Luosang's - 'Only by sharing hardships can we overcome difficulties.'

"Father, is there any problem with this?" Qi Congyuan looked at Qi Zhen with a serious expression.

"This is a note used by the Imperial Master to deliver messages." Qi Zhen stared at the note in his hand and said, "I've seen it before, exactly like this one. If you touch the end of the note, you'll find the word 'Wu'. That's the Imperial Master's unique mark."

Qi Congyuan took the note and felt it. As Qi Zhen had said, there was a "Wu" character. But, "Grandmaster, why did you pass on this information to us? Did he figure something out?"

"I don't know either." This was what Qi Zhen couldn't figure out. "The Imperial Master always explored national affairs. He never asked about matters between the emperor and his subjects. But this time..."

Is it a conspiracy or something?

Why did the Imperial Master suddenly get involved in these matters?

Border pass

"Captain Lian, there's a letter for you!"

"My letter?"

If my father had a message to deliver, wouldn't he have sent someone directly? Why did he suddenly write a letter?

Lian Jingye took the letter with doubt, but just as he was about to open it, he immediately put it away.

"Captain Lian, don't you want to see who wrote it?" The comrades next to him were a little surprised by Lian Jingye's behavior.

"I want to watch it by myself." Lian Jingye smiled a little embarrassedly.

"Oh..." Hearing Lian Jingye's words, the group of people around him sighed and showed an expression of "we all understand".

Lian Jingye: ...

"Then I'll go back to the tent first."

Lian Jingye didn't explain much and went straight back to his residence.

After returning, Lian Jingye looked around cautiously. After finding that there was no one else, he hurriedly opened the letter. Inside the letter was a note with only a few words on it -

"Strength determines everything, but don't be impulsive."

Lian Jingye had seen this kind of note in Lian Luosang's study when he was a child, and he had asked Lian Luosang what it was.

Lian Jingye clearly remembered what Lian Luosang said at that time - 'Jingye, you must remember that things marked with the word 'I' are very important. Those things will determine the direction of your life.

If he hadn't felt the mark on the letter, Lian Jingye would have opened it on the spot. However, he didn't understand that one day he would actually receive something like this.

So, why?

Not long ago, his father sent someone to tell him about his younger sister's "precognitive dream", asking him not to be too aggressive and not to be too impulsive; now, another letter came with the same words.

Just add a sentence "Strength determines everything."

So, he should still have the strength, right?

Does strength determine everything?

This coincides with his idea!

In that case, then... without being impulsive, improve your own strength!
