"Wen Xinggui, don't think you're special just because he values you a little. He doesn't even pay attention to the Huayang Princess; why would he care about you?"
"But he needs me!" Wen Xinggui retorted.
"The Stargazing Tower is completed; you are of no use to him anymore."
Wen Xinggui's expression darkened. As for the matters concerning the Wen Family, he was merely skimming the surface. Without you, the Great Yu Emperor built his grand empire through his own abilities. His nature is domineering; seeking you was merely a means to an end. Now that he has no further use for you, if you behave, he might tolerate you a little.
"Wen Xinggui, after everything your Wen Family has been through, how can you still be so naive?"
Wen Xinggui pondered for a moment and then sighed, "Given my situation, I really shouldn't meddle too much. I just want to do things well. The Stargazing Tower has repeatedly refused my entry, and I have started to feel hesitant."
"But while I was lingering outside the tower, I overheard some passing craftsmen say that the feng shui formations I calculated had been altered by the Great Yu Emperor in several places."
In that moment of heated frustration, feeling disrespected for my efforts and filled with indignation, I—
"Altered? What was the original purpose of your feng shui formations?"
"The life force extracted from the Dajing Xuande Emperor is all gathered within this formation. Additionally, some true dragon essence from Dayu and a bit of Merit were also drawn in as offerings to honor the gods."
"Can it really summon the gods?"
Wen Xinggui's face turned slightly awkward. "I followed what was written in the books; theoretically, there shouldn't be any issues."
"Is it from that book of the Great Yu Emperor?"
"Yes, I've been fortunate enough to see a few pages," Wen Xinggui admitted with a hint of embarrassment. "The Great Yu Emperor has delved deeply into this subject, often making me feel a sense of pressure as a member of the Wen Family."
"Since you acknowledge the Great Yu Emperor's abilities, then let him make his modifications."
"The idea of summoning gods sounds rather unreliable. If he intervenes and fails, you won't bear any responsibility."
"You should be carefree without burdens; why are you still anxious?"
Wen Xinggui sighed, "Do I not know? But when I privately inquired about the changes in the feng shui formations from the craftsmen and reviewed them at home, I discovered it seemed like a deadly trap!"
Qi Xiaomian suddenly took notice, his gaze sharpening. "How could it be a deadly trap? Are you sure?"
Wen Xinggui hesitated. "Perhaps what the craftsmen said wasn't accurate. Just to be safe, I wanted to take a look on-site, but now I can't get in anymore."
"Then let's see!"
The Huayang Princess emerged from the back room, her right hand still holding Sang Qingxiao's. "I'll find a way."
Qi Xiaomian watched the affectionate interaction between the two and sighed, "The princess comes and goes as she pleases. I truly have no privacy left at all. Although I'm borrowing your place, the princess should at least observe some courtesy, especially since I am such a distinguished guest!"
This residence was connected to Huayang Princess's place by an underground passage, and it was the first time the princess had come uninvited.
Huayang Princess apologized, saying, "Regarding my lover, I feel somewhat guilty towards Miss Sang. Upon hearing that she has entered the city, I hurried over to explain."
Qi Xiaomian retorted, "I'm just afraid your explanations will only complicate things further."
"That won't happen," Huayang replied cheerfully. "Miss Sang is very reasonable. I've already explained everything to her, and she said we should just let it go."
Upon hearing this, Qi Xiaomian felt a pang of discomfort. Was it really that easy to move on? Didn't she feel even a hint of jealousy? After all, she was not like him.
Then Huayang continued happily, "I knew it! My father must have some other plans behind these absurd actions! Invoking the gods? Ha! My father has never been a believer; he only trusts himself."
Qi Xiaomian poured cold water on her enthusiasm. "You're getting ahead of yourself, princess. People tend to become muddled as they age."
Xuande Emperor was just like that; after being schemed against, he lost his composure and reason, ultimately losing his throne, dignity, and even his life.
"Well then, let's wait and see!"
