Chapter 984 is here? Do you want to be food? (19)
Hey: Little Star, that Microbe has gone!
As Xingyu prepared to lie down, she simply responded with a soft "Mmm" to Xiaowei. She shifted her body slightly, finding the most comfortable position, then gently closed her eyes, ready to get some rest.
However, not long after, Miao Yicheng's voice came from outside the door again: "Xiao Li, Daddy's here to see you."
Xingyu frowned slightly but did not respond.
"Xiao Li, Dad knows you're not asleep yet. Dad wants to talk to you." Miao Yicheng's voice came again, seemingly with a hint of urgency.
Xingyu still did not respond.
"Xiao Li, Wei Shengwang has left. They seem to be in a hurry." Miao Yicheng's words finally caught Xing Yu's attention.
Xingyu's eyelashes trembled slightly, then she slowly opened her eyes. She took a deep breath, as if to calm her restless morning grumpiness, before slowly getting up to open the door.
Miao Yicheng stood outside the door with a hint of concern on his face. Xingyu led him to sit down at the stone table in the courtyard.
Xingyu wasted no time and went straight to the point as soon as she sat down: "Father said that Weishengwang has left?" Her voice was calm, seemingly without much emotional fluctuation.
Miao Yicheng carefully examined Xingyu for a moment, then slowly nodded and said, "Yes, it seems that the guard next to him said something to him, and then he left in a hurry."
After saying that, he looked at Xingyu with concern, his tone full of care, "Xiaoli, Weisheng Wang is the prime minister of a country, yet he has condescended to come to the residence of an ordinary merchant like us. Did you deceive him when you were doing divination for him, and he came here specifically to question you?"
Xingyu sighed softly. She thought he wanted to talk about something else, but it turned out he was worried about this.
“Father, there is no need to worry. Wei Shengwang has come here today with the sincere intention of thanking me. He has not come to blame or reprimand me.”
Miao Yicheng, however, still appeared very anxious and uneasy, seemingly unable to put his mind at ease about the matter. He frowned, his tone full of doubt, "That's true, but after all... you've only been at the Taoist temple for a few months, how could you have mastered those profound and unfathomable divination techniques so quickly?"
As far as he knew, she was currently just sweeping the floor at the Taoist temple and helping out her fellow disciples. Logically speaking, it was highly unlikely that she would have learned those mysterious and difficult divination techniques so quickly.
She could usually fool the townspeople, and if anything unexpected happened, he could rely on his prestige and connections in the town to clean up the mess for her.
The problem is that Wei Shengwang is the Prime Minister of the current dynasty. If his affairs are affected by her slight fraudulent behavior, the consequences would be unimaginable and would be something that an ordinary citizen like him could not easily handle.
"Father, don't you believe your daughter?"
Miao Yicheng was speechless for a moment. He opened his mouth but couldn't utter a complete sentence, his face still showing deep worry. It wasn't that he didn't want to believe her, but the reality was right in front of him, leaving him no choice but to have concerns.
If Wei Shengwang really wants to hold him accountable, he can take advantage of Wei Shengwang's absence to quietly escape with his whole family and ensure their safety.
After all, Xiao Tao and Chu Yan had already been told by the Taoist priest that they were not long for the future and would not survive the next two years. He really did not want to see any more misfortune befall his other family members.
Father, when my younger brother was born, did the Taoist priest who told you that your brother and sister wouldn't live more than two years, say anything else to you?
