Chapter 381 - 381 Phoenix Life
After his family was destroyed, he dragged his broken body and struggled to breathe. He was in hell, and his heart was in a boundless purgatory. He did not know if he was tired, because he did not have long to live. He did not have much time left, but there were still many things he needed to do, so he could not allow himself to stop.
These days in the Yu Residence were undoubtedly the most comfortable for him.
His hands, which were stained with blood, finally put down the butcher’s knife. He played the zither, painted, carved, and carved…
Everything made him happy.
In particular, when he personally brought these things to the little girl, the little girl’s happy and admiring expression made him feel even happier.
At this moment, the little girl looked at him with heartache.
He suddenly felt that his entire body had endless strength!
In the blink of an eye, it was time for Mr. Xian Yun to visit.
There wasn’t much to manage in the house, but in order to show her respect for the guests, Yu Youyao arranged for servants to clean up the residence.
At quarter to ten, Mr. Xian Yun arrived.
It was still the low-key and simple green-topped carriage.
Yu Zongzheng stepped forward and bowed. Compared to Yu Zongshen, his attitude was much more serious, and his expression was filled with excitement.
Yu Zongzheng and Mr. Xian Yun finished exchanging pleasantries.
Only then did Yu Youyao walk out from behind her father. She bent down and bowed to Mr. Xian Yun. “I’m Yu Youyao, a junior of the household. Greetings, sir. My mother is still sick, and Grandmother is old. I’m in charge of the household now. Please forgive me if I’ve neglected you.”
Mr. Xian Yun’s status was noble, but it was not good for her grandmother to welcome him.
Mr. Xian Yun looked at her eyebrows. Her long eyebrows were drawn with brow powder. They were thick and light. Her eyebrows were curved like the moon, and the ends were curved. They were already a little different from when he had seen them a few days ago.
He stroked his white beard and said, “I heard that the Empress Dowager praised Miss for being clean and honest. Yao Yao is kind-hearted.”
Yu Youyao looked embarrassed. She did not know how to say this, but Yu Zongzheng smiled and said, “The little girl is mischievous. Don’t take it so seriously.”
His tone clearly showed that he was very satisfied with his daughter.
Mr. Xian Yun looked unfathomable. “I know some face-reading techniques. Looking at you, you have a natural noble aura between your eyes and a purple qi around your forehead. Your fate is extremely precious. If you can do good deeds, you will definitely be able to have a good beginning and end.”
This noble aura was the power of a phoenix’s life.
Purple Qi was attributed to merit.
Of the two, if one was missing, one’s fate would not be good. If one’s fate was lacking, one would ultimately be born unlucky and die unlucky.
It seemed that that person…
Mr. Xian Yun gathered his thoughts and looked at Yu Youyao with a probing gaze.
Yu Youyao bowed and thanked him. “Thank you, Mr. Xian.”
However, she complained in her heart. She had never heard her cousin say that Mr. Xian Yun liked to play tricks!
On the other hand, Yu Zongzheng was overjoyed. He had also heard that Mr. Xian Yun had learned Confucianism and Daoism at the same time and was proficient in some physiognomy skills. It was probably because Yao Yao had caught his eye that he had decided to meet her for the first time.
Hence, he thought of another matter.
When Yao Yao was young, there were rumors in the residence that Yao Yao was born with a hard life. They wanted to send her to the Li Residence for a few years. When her mother heard this, she was so angry that she couldn’t even care less about her illness. She personally brought Yao Yao to the Precious Peace Temple and asked to see Master Hui Neng, asking him to evaluate her life.
On the other hand, after seeing Yao Yao, the first thing Master Hui Neng, who had always kept quiet, said was, “Amitabha. You’re fated with Buddha.”
After that, he really evaluated Yao Yao’s life.
He still remembered that at that time, Master Hui Neng had left behind a nine-character Buddhist prayer. “She can reach Nirvana.”
Finally, he said, “Noble!”
In the past, he had never been close to his daughter. He saw that his daughter was born stupid and did not have anything special, so he did not pay much attention to her.
However, from the looks of it, Master Hui Neng was indeed an enlightened monk with a discerning eye.
Yu Zongzheng led Mr. Xian Yun all the way to the Green House. He also instructed Zhou Linghuai not to neglect Mr. Xian Yun, so he did not stay any longer. He returned to the front courtyard to change into his official uniform and went to court.
Mr. Xian Yun sized up Zhou Linghuai’s residence.
It was May, and the roses in the corner were blooming. The colorful flowers were indistinguishable. The big and small paths in the courtyard were paved with limestone bricks that could be accessible by wheelchair. There were also patterns carved on the bricks to prevent the wheelchair from slipping. The garden was filled with expensive flowers and trees. The best part was that under the grape trellis, there was greenery.
Even on a hot summer day, it was comfortable to sit down.
It was really meticulous.
As Mr. Xian Yun stroked his beard, he nodded. “It’s a good place. Every blade of grass and tree seems to be without order, but it secretly conforms to the five elements of the world. The five elements are full, and Yin and Yang are in balance. When the essence of the world is here, its vitality will appear. The essence of the world will nourish nature which in turn nourishes people. I think that although the person who set up this place didn’t plant a willow by accident, it looks intentional.”
It was an unintentional move, but because of his heart, it had created a treasure land.
Zhou Linghuai sat under the trellis, and mottled sunlight danced around his body. He held a Ru ware teacup and drank tea with narrowed eyes. Under the vines, there was an incense table with incense burning on it to relieve the heat. There was also an incense wooden chessboard on the table. There was a small table beside it, and there was a teapot, cups, bowls filled with exquisite snacks, melons, fruits, and so on.
Mr. Xian Yun also brought some tea over to drink. There was a hint of bitterness and coolness in his mouth. When it entered his throat, it seeped into his mouth, making his mind clear. He couldn’t help but praise, “It’s better to taste bitterness in the summer. Good tea, good tea.”
Zhou Linghuai put down his teacup. “You didn’t come here today to drink tea, right?”
In other words, if you have something to say, say it quickly.
Mr. Xian Yun did not keep him in suspense anymore. “Heir Yin, you’re hiding in the Yu Residence of the Imperial Capital. I’m afraid it’s not just to avenge King You!”
Although he had never seen Yin Huaixi’s true appearance, he knew before bringing him into the palace that the so-called heir, Yin Huaixi, was just a puppet substitute.
One was born with fate, and he knew how to read faces.
Yin Huaixi’s fate was definitely unique in the world. No matter how much a fake looked like Yin Huaixi, it was impossible for him to have the same fate.
Since the substitute had already entered the capital, Yin Huaixi must be hiding in the capital.
