The Crown Princess calculated with her fingers and the prince was terrified.

Jiang Xianyue felt uncomfortable with this scrutinizing attitude and took a step back.

Shen Qinglan blocked Jiang Xianyue's retreat.

"Miss Jiang, don't be nervous. The Grand Master predicted that you have a unique destiny, born with the fate of a phoenix. Your father sent you to the capital after hearing about this, wanting you to choose your ideal husband from among the princes."

Therefore, the reason I summoned you here today is simply to allow the Grand Master to take a closer look!

Jiang Xianyue was unconvinced.

"I am not some commodity. He decided my life's destiny with just one sentence. Because he couldn't see clearly, he called me, an unmarried girl, to come and admire me."

I respect all capable people, but I will not allow them to be treated so disrespectfully!

She pretended not to understand, and with a single sentence, she caught the two of them off guard.

"Grand Master, can you see anything in me?"

she asked bluntly.

The Grand Master was momentarily embarrassed.

Shen Qinglan spoke again.

"I heard that Miss Jiang mentioned my destiny, so I thought that Miss Jiang should have some knowledge of metaphysics and numerology. Today, I was also worried, so I asked the Grand Master to take a look at it personally."

They also called over Miss Jiang.

If Miss Jiang also has some skill, that would be perfect…

"Your Highness is too kind!"

Jiang Xianyue took a step back.

"At most, I'm just interested in reading some books here for leisure, and when I come across books on divination, I just say a few words."

All the talk is just empty words; without real ability, it's all meaningless!

She then looked at the Grand Master.

"Since the Grand Master is here, why did you summon me?"

"Young lady, please calm down and come with me to a place. My master just feels that you have a connection with our sect and may be a promising talent."

If that's the case, my master is willing to accept you as a disciple and keep you in the Star Palace. In that case, no one in the entire capital will dare to bully you!

Jiang Xianyue didn't believe any of this, but she still followed in the footsteps of the Grand Master.

As Jiang Xianyue continued walking, she suddenly felt that everything around her was somewhat familiar.

Yes, that's the place where I caused trouble just now, the Star-Picking Tower.

Jiang Xian Yue had just noticed that there were quite a few magical artifacts here, so he probably wasn't up to anything good.

However, Jiang Xianyue was not afraid.

The Star-Picking Tower was quiet and deserted. The Grand Master frowned as he entered.

Where is Su Yongren?

He muttered to himself as he walked into the building.

The scene was clean, and it didn't look like anything had happened.

The Grand Master walked towards the place where he had hidden Su Yong, opened the cabinet, and found that all the pills were gone, leaving only a few magical artifacts.

What surprised Jiang Xianyue the most was that Su Yong, who was hiding here, had disappeared.

The Grand Preceptor's expression was also not good.

"Oh no! Someone else has entered the Star-Picking Tower!"

He took a step back, and Shen Qinglan immediately stepped forward.

"Grand Preceptor, what's wrong?"

"Many of the pills and magical artifacts from the Star-Picking Pavilion are gone!"

Jiang Xianyue chuckled inwardly at their overreaction. She had already taken those treasures obtained by plundering the people's wealth, and this could be considered as doing a good deed for the Star-Picking Tower.

Jiang Xianyue didn't say anything, but stood at the back and looked around.

If Su Yong breaks free, no matter where he is now, as long as he comes to accuse her, Jiang Xian Yue is doomed. With her own abilities, she would have no chance of escaping.

Before the Grand Master of the Star Palace, no one can rescue themselves unharmed, and Shen Shijing is probably no exception.

"Thankfully, nothing important was lost!"

The Grand Master took a deep breath and took out an incense burner.

Then, his voice was cold: "Men, search the place and see who dares to be so bold!"

"The bold one is right in front of you!"

Jiang Xianyue tilted her head, thinking about this matter in her heart. Her gaze was calm, with an indescribable indifference.

Those people from the Star Palace dressed in black robes came over and hurriedly accepted the order.

"Young lady, please come with me!"

Jiang Xianyue followed suspiciously.

"Grand Master, the theft of this Star Palace is no small matter. If you don't catch the thief, how could you possibly have figured it out?"

The Grand Master did not answer, and Jiang Xian Yue knew it was impossible.

"This master desires a drop of the young lady's blood!"

Jiang Xianyue immediately withdrew her hand, pretending to be very scared.

"That won't do, I'm scared."

Besides, I know what this Star Palace is for. What if there are some strange curses? Wouldn't I be in danger?

"Grand Preceptor, even if you are the Grand Preceptor, you cannot treat me like this!"

She looked at Shen Qinglan again.

"Second Prince, did you summon me here in such a hurry today just for these strange things?"

Her tone was filled with fear.

"The Grand Master simply wants to understand your destiny better!"

At this moment, Shen Qinglan tried her best to comfort Jiang Xianyue, but in fact she was a little impatient.

"Miss Jiang, now that you've returned to the capital, this matter is unavoidable!"

They always thought Jiang Xianyue knew nothing and that her attempts to coax people were incredibly foolish. Jiang Xianyue scoffed inwardly, but had no choice but to play along with their performance.

"I don't want to, I'm scared!"

"Fine, I won't get married then. I'm perfectly fine on the mountain. There's no need for me to be picked over in the capital. I'm leaving!"

Jiang Xianyue was about to leave when the Grand Master suddenly reached out, and a powerful suction force pulled Jiang Xianyue away, making it impossible for her to move.

"Do whatever you want!"

Jiang Xianyue cursed inwardly, but unfortunately she had no ability to break free. She had no spiritual power and could only be slaughtered at will.

"Second Prince, Grand Preceptor, you have gone too far!"

"This master would never harm you!"

As he spoke, he flicked his hand in mid-air, and a drop of blood fell from Jiang Xianyue's fingertip. The Grand Master caught it with something in his hand, and then he chanted a spell, looking very serious.

That's about all the skill this person has.

After just a few moves, Jiang Xianyue knew how skilled he was, not much different from the old man she knew. Although his skill was indeed superior to hers, Jiang Xianyue was not afraid.

After all, if he did his best, he might be able to beat the old man by chance.

"Grand Master, how is it!"

Shen Qinglan seemed to really want this answer, and Jiang Xianyue also turned around and stared at her intently.

Just then, the table beneath their feet moved, as if someone was hiding inside.

All three of them tensed up.

The second prince drew his longsword and pointed it under the table.

"Who dares to trespass into the Star Palace? Do they know this is a capital offense!"

Jiang Xianyue felt a surge of nervousness. Was it Su Yong or someone else? She was extremely curious. After all, Su Yong could expose her with just a few words, and if she didn't want to be questioned later, she wouldn't need to keep this troublesome Su Yong around.

Now, Su Yong has become his own death warrant.

Just as everyone's gaze fell upon the table, a figure slowly collapsed, bound hand and foot—it was Su Yong.

Unlike when he was immobilized by Jiang Xian Yue, he was now lifeless, his eyes wide open, dead.
