Quick Transmigration: Survive to the End

Upon returning to the capital, Li Yinyin dismounted and went directly into Banxian'er's Star Gazing Tower.

Right now, the fortune teller is leaning against the roof of the attic, lazily basking in the sun.

Hearing footsteps, he didn't even open his eyes: "You're back!"

“Master,” Li Yinyin sat down beside him, “how did you know I was coming? Did you calculate it?”

"There's no need to calculate that," the fortune teller said, tilting his head to look down at the Star Gazing Tower and yawning. "I saw you as soon as you came in and was waiting for you."

"Weren't you supposed to be back from the Western Regions for a while? How come you're back so soon?"

Li Yinyin's mind was filled with thoughts of fate, and she forgot the simplest thing: the height of the observatory. But at this moment, that wasn't the most important thing.

"Master, do you still remember Xijiangyue and Yin Hong?"

“How could I not remember?” Banxian’er opened his eyes and looked at her. “I’ve only ever seen two people with that kind of destiny in my entire life.”

“I met Mu Xianyun in the Western Regions and heard some things, then I calculated the fates of the three of them,” Li Yinyin said, without revealing the result, “Master, why don’t you calculate it again?”

Hearing her say that, the fortune teller also became serious, led her into the house, and even laid out his largest and most complex horoscope.

"what?"

Of the three, Mu Xianyun was the easiest to calculate before, so today, the fortune teller naturally started with Mu Xianyun.

What puzzled him was that Mu Xianyun's destiny seemed shrouded in mystery; it looked the same on the surface, but there were many discrepancies. This had only happened when he tried to calculate the fates of Xi Jiangyue and Yin Hong.

Seeing his expression, Li Yinyin guessed that the fortune teller must have also noticed something amiss, and cautiously asked, "Master, do you think it's possible that the 'favored one of Heaven' will be replaced?"

"How could this be..." The fortune teller stopped midway through his sentence, "Unless someone changed the destiny midway, or the original darling of heaven is considered by many to be unworthy of the position."

Li Yinyin's eyes flashed. So, even the protagonist isn't always the protagonist; there are always other ways to suppress their aura. It's just that Mu Xianyun doesn't understand metaphysics and doesn't know how he managed to do it.

Unfortunately, the downside of being too far away is that you have countless questions in your mind, but none of them can be answered.

"Yinyin, is there any way I can see him?"

Upon hearing the fortune teller's question, Li Yinyin quickly replied, "I left the Western Regions early, and they followed later, so it will naturally take some time. Once they enter Ming territory, they certainly won't be able to leave in a day or two. I estimate that they will stay somewhere, and it won't be difficult to meet them. Even if you want to speak with them in person, Master, it's not impossible to arrange it."

“That won’t be necessary,” the fortune teller waved his hand and said, “Observing the aura is enough with just a glance.”

"I think you shouldn't go back to Chang Le Palace. Stay at the Star Gazing Tower for the next few days, and I'll quickly teach you more about the art of observing qi. If he really becomes a new favorite of the Heavenly Dao and has a strong aura, you might be able to sense some of it, which would be beneficial to your cultivation of the art of observing qi."

Li Yinyin eagerly agreed: "I'll go make the arrangements right away. Master, you should also go and rest."

If asked which is more difficult, horoscope reading or aura reading, Li Yinyin would undoubtedly choose aura reading at this stage.

For her, learning about astrology wasn't difficult; the challenge lay in accuracy. But with practice, Li Yinyin's calculations became increasingly accurate. However, to reach the point of perfect accuracy, she needed both talent and luck.

She was mentally prepared for this from the beginning, so naturally she wasn't discouraged.

But the ability to observe qi was different. She knew it was useful, so she was naturally very interested in it. She had seen a lot of things along the way, from mountains to rivers, and had gained some understanding. However, Li Yinyin always felt frustrated when it came to observing people.

She's practiced for so many years and never succeeded even once; that's her story.

She had consulted the fortune teller many times about this, but the answer she always received was that she needed to practice more, so she could only go back and continue her cultivation. Now that she saw that there might be progress, how could she not be excited?

After leaving the Star Gazing Tower, Li Yinyin first went to Weiyang Palace and told Yu Qiaoyun about it. Then she went to find Li Chengming and told him that all other courses would be temporarily suspended.

Li Chengming knew that she had a talent and interest in metaphysics, and over the years, he had rarely seen her make any demands on it, so he couldn't bear to.

Only then did Li Yinyin feel relieved enough to return to the Star Gazing Tower.

The fortune teller gave her two days of intensive instruction before rushing out of the palace.

At this moment, the Jiang Kingdom's troops had already crossed the Ming Kingdom's border and were heading into the heartland.

It is worth mentioning that the Ming envoys had not yet parted ways with them and were currently staying in the same city.

Li Yinyin was fully prepared and brought her telescope, so that she could see people from afar, even on the city wall.

The fortune teller only observed for a few breaths before handing the Thousand-Mile Eye back to Li Yinyin and instructing her, "Don't pay too much attention to his appearance; look with your heart. Everyone has energy within them, some strong, some weak. Just like when you look at mountains and rivers, you see shady and sunny sides. You can look at people in the same way."

After hearing his words, Li Yinyin slowly observed Mu Xianyun approaching from a distance through her telescope. Gradually, Li Yinyin suddenly felt that Mu Xianyun seemed to be shrouded in something, making it difficult to see clearly.

She initially thought she was just seeing things, but when her telescope moved elsewhere, her vision cleared again, and she could see Mu Xianyun just as clearly. Only when she concentrated could she barely perceive that hint of mystery.

Suddenly, Mu Xianyun seemed to sense something and looked in Li Yinyin's direction.

Li Yinyin, with her keen eyesight, was caught off guard when she met Mu Xianyun's eyes. She suddenly felt as if she had been stabbed, and immediately closed her eyes, tears even streaming down her face.

The fortune teller quickly stuffed the handkerchief in his hand into hers: "Now that you've entered the sect, you should rest well today and absolutely not look at anything else. It's fine with ordinary people, but with his current good fortune, if he feels threatened, he could easily turn against you."

"If you want to see more, you might as well go back and keep an eye on Li Chengming. Although he is destined to be an emperor and is more domineering, you are his most precious sister. He won't hurt you, and his luck will naturally be the same."

Knowing the principle that too much of a good thing can be bad, Li Yinyin nodded in agreement: "Don't worry, Master, I definitely won't look anymore today. I don't want to go blind."

She rubbed her eyes, which felt extremely dry.

The fortune teller took out her clairvoyance and looked in that direction for a while, then looked at her obedient apprentice beside her and sighed, "What a pity, what a pity."

Li Yinyin felt goosebumps all over her body: "Master, please don't say that, it's giving me the creeps."

"I just sigh. You could have had a connection with him, but now that he's so lucky, your connection with him has been severed."

The fortune teller looked up at the sky with his hands behind his back and said, "You can't have your cake and eat it too!"

"Me and him?" Li Yinyin found it both laughable and absurd. "How could I possibly fall for a man who already has someone in his heart?"

"Even if he has the best luck and destiny, it's still the same!"
