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

Without warning, the Grand Master opened the door, only to find it empty.

Fortunately, they hid under the table when the Grand Master came in.

After all, it was only a stone's throw away from what happened to Su Yong. It was dangerous, but it was the only place where they could quickly hide.

Because Jiang Xian Yue's spiritual power is not obvious at the moment, it is not easy to know.

"No one came in just now!"

The Grand Master spoke, his tone full of inquiry.

"Yes, no one has come in!"

Upon hearing his subordinate's reply, the Grand Master lowered his guard and turned to speak to another person.

"Second Prince, you came here looking for me. Is it because of what happened that day? Is there any progress?"

At that moment, Shen Qinglan's voice came through.

"Grand Master, the day you examined Jiang Xianyue, there really was nothing wrong with her. She is just an ordinary girl."

"Since she's just an ordinary girl, why do you say her fate is so special?"

After thinking for a while, the Grand Master spoke up: "The Second Prince mentioned the butterfly jade pendant. This Grand Master could only predict the fate of that little girl. The Second Prince also witnessed what happened that day. This is the only outcome for the matter entrusted to me by the Second Prince!"

Shen Qinglan seemed unwilling to accept it.

"This prince does not want to believe that she is just an ordinary girl."

The Grand Preceptor was right; Jiang Xian Yue is intelligent and resourceful, capable of helping someone obtain the throne. However, this prince has a feeling that the secrets behind all this go beyond this!

The second prince's tone was somewhat urgent.

"Second Prince, the Star Palace has been robbed, and what has been lost is of great importance. I, your Imperial Tutor, am too preoccupied to even look after myself. As for your trivial matter, I have already given you the answer."

If you don't believe me, you can seek advice from someone else.

"My calculations suggest that the Second Prince likely has more than just me helping him!"

At this moment, Jiang Xianyue and Shen Shijing unconsciously looked at each other in bewilderment.

The Grand Master's abilities are beyond doubt. In this life, Jiang Xian Yue did not choose to help Shen Qing Lan. So who is Shen Qing Lan's helper? It seems that he also understands metaphysics and has considerable abilities, which is why the Grand Master was able to calculate it so easily.

Thinking about this, Jiang Xianyue fell into deep thought.

Shen Shijing was the same.

Given how far things have progressed, Shen Shijing should first suspect Jiang Xianyue.

Although her life is different from her previous one, it may be due to the different choices she has made. However, whether Jiang Xian Yue is now an enemy or a friend remains to be seen.

If Shen Qinglan were to return, perhaps she would offer Jiang Xianyue a different perspective.

He thought it was a change of heart, but he didn't expect it might be a scam. Shen Shijing's eyes darkened as he stared intently at Jiang Xianyue.

"Could it be that you're not the one being referred to?"

Shen Shijing spoke softly, then gave a self-deprecating laugh.

“Miss Jiang is a master among them, so it’s not surprising that she was discovered. You wanted to distance yourself, but you didn’t expect…”

Shen Shijing didn't continue. The truth was right in front of him, and Shen Shijing also felt that he couldn't continue speaking.

After all, giving up isn't so easy.

Jiang Xianyue was truly speechless, and she also wanted to know who that person was. How come she hadn't known before that Shen Shijing was so suspicious?

Why did you always give way to me in my past life? I don't feel it at all now.

Just then, the Grand Master frowned, as if he had discovered something.

Jiang Xianyue didn't explain, but instead pounced on him and covered Shen Shijing's mouth.

I wonder what the Grand Master's abilities are like. Perhaps the Grand Master can sense Shen Shijing's words? Jiang Xianyue was instinctively nervous. The moment she leaned closer, even their breathing became rapid.

Shen Shijing's body stiffened involuntarily for a moment, then he let go and stopped struggling.

Meanwhile, Shen Qinglan, oblivious to everything, spoke up: "Grand Preceptor, my mother said that you have some connection with her, and if there's anything you need, you can ask for your help."

"I only want to know her secret!"

The Grand Master withdrew his gaze, unwilling to let Shen Qinglan speak any further.

"If we have time, we can take another look, since the Second Prince has always been suspicious."

However, that girl's fate was indeed quite good; it was perfectly reasonable for my prophecy to come to this conclusion!

After saying that, the two turned and left, and Jiang Xianyue and Shen Shijing came out.

As soon as she came out, Jiang Xianyue felt that something was very wrong.

She shoved Shen Shijing under the table, and a gust of wind howled past before the closed door opened.

The Grand Master appeared at the door, his gaze chilling.

"How dare you trespass into the Star-Picking Pavilion and even kill someone! Who are you?!"

While hiding Shen Shijing, Jiang Xianyue tore off a piece of cloth and tied it to her face. She and the Grand Master were of the same ilk, so she naturally knew that the Grand Master had left a backup plan.

"I didn't kill Su Yong, and I didn't steal the things. I'm just here to find evidence!"

Jiang Xian Yue's voice was cold and aloof, unlike the mere young girl she had spoken to before.

The Grand Master frowned.

"You said it's not the case?"

As he spoke, the Grand Master made a hand seal and the things on the table fell to the ground. Jiang Xian Yue was still able to nimbly dodge and stand on the table next to him.

"You're unreasonable! You hit people before you even speak properly. We're all cultivators, why be so violent!"

As Jiang Xianyue spoke, a move came flying towards him. The Grand Master only wanted to capture him now, caring nothing for anything else, so Jiang Xianyue had no choice but to escape as quickly as possible.

When the Grand Master launched his third attack, Jiang Xian Yue was enraged.

Once or twice is acceptable, but a third time is not. Her title of Little Fairy of Lonely Mountain was not given lightly.

After descending the mountain, she not only lost all her magical powers, but was also chased and beaten like a dog. How could she endure that?

Thinking it over, Jiang Xianyue took out a yellow talisman, infused it with spiritual power, and directly cast a hand seal.

"you!!!"

With just one move, the Grand Master was somewhat shocked.

Jiang Xianyue was young, and he was very familiar with this method of his.

He wanted to capture Jiang Xianyue even more.

As a result, Jiang Xian Yue felt that the Grand Master's attacks were becoming more frequent, which was clearly a risky move.

Jiang Xian Yue didn't even mention that the Grand Master was bullying her. She skillfully dodged and occasionally attacked, but she couldn't gain any advantage. On the contrary, her limited spiritual power was about to be exhausted.

If she hadn't lost her magic, she wouldn't need to be afraid.

It's not just her who's in danger, but also... Shen Shijing!

Jiang Xianyue thought to herself, and used all the remaining spiritual power to complete the final strike. Her body left the Star-Picking Pavilion like a gust of wind.

He hid after leaving the Star-Picking Pavilion and soon coughed up a mouthful of blood.

The gates of the Star-Picking Pavilion were closed, and the Grand Master went to chase after Jiang Xianyue. Shen Shijing came out from under the table, feeling somewhat worried. Just then, a hand was placed on Shen Shijing's shoulder.

Shen Shijing's body stiffened.
