Chapter 239 Waiting for the Predestined One

Hearing this, Lu Zhanxing sneered: "Isn't it good to be a dandy prince? You don't have to worry about food or clothes, why do you want power? I am now favored by my brother, who dares to disrespect me? I have told you long ago that I am not interested in the throne. I said that getting up early every day to attend the morning court to deal with state affairs will tire me to death sooner or later."

Yan Xiao looked at Lu Zhanxing in disbelief. Is there really anyone who doesn’t covet that supreme position?

He may not have believed it before, but now, he has to believe it.

However, although they are all strategic and wise people, they have different fates. Their mothers are singers, and they have different identities and status. They have no backing, so even if they are princes, they will be despised by others.

That's why he wanted to turn the tables at all costs and make those who once looked down on him bow down to him.

Perhaps, from the very beginning, he was different from the favored dandy Lu Zhanxing!

Lu Zhanxing is a real playboy with no ambition, while I am just pretending to be a playboy. The fate of the two is completely different.

Why should I compare myself with Lu Zhanxing?

"Forget it, I was wrong before. After all, we are not the same kind of people." He said with a sigh.

Fortunately, he and Lu Zhanxing still had some connections, and Lu's rebellion was successful, so he was able to save his life.

Seeing Yan Xiao so depressed, Lu Zhanxing felt relieved, which proved that the rumor was not spread by Yan Xiao.

"I'm glad to see that you're okay. I'm leaving now!"

Lu Zhanxing felt it was a pity that his daughter was still too young. Otherwise, he could go to Dayan’s Ministry of War to steal their defense map. Maybe it would be useful in the future.

Unfortunately, Ling'er is only two years old and can't recognize many words. My drawing skills are poor, so I decided to give up.

Yan Xiao saw that she was about to leave, and quickly grabbed her: "Are you leaving just like that?"

"if not?"

"Take me away!"

Lu Zhanxing shook his head: "You are so ambitious, I dare not take you away."

The new emperor of Yan State is not as cunning as Yan Xiao. It will be easier to attack Dayan after the Daqian Dynasty develops.

If it was Yan Xiao who was replaced, it would be very difficult to deal with him. If it weren't for the plot of the book, I probably wouldn't dare to have any intersection with Yan Xiao, so it's better not to do it.

We must eliminate Yan Xiao at the source and not let the tiger out of the mountain.

"Now that my brother has ascended the throne, I have also thought it through. I can give up fighting for the throne, as long as you can let me leave here."

"Then why don't you just talk to your brother? Why do you need my help?"

Yan Xiao shook his head: "My brother doesn't trust me. If you ask me, I will have a chance to regain my freedom. As long as you are willing to help me, I, Yan Xiao, will owe you a favor. No matter what you ask me to do in the future, I will agree."

"Really?" Lu Zhanxing rolled his eyes and asked him with a smile: "Then you will be my male lover?"

Yan Xiao: “…”

He stared at Lu Zhanxing in disbelief. This guy is still coveting his beauty?

"You go!"

Between losing his freedom and his body, Yan Xiao gave up his freedom.

It’s better for him to stay away from this pervert. Although he has no freedom, at least he is normal in the palace.

If I agree to Lu Zhanxing's perverted request, I will no longer be myself.

Lu Zhanxing felt a little regretful: "Can't you say something nice to coax me? When you are free, you can just run away, right? Why did you refuse so bluntly?"

She just wanted to test Yan Xiao to see if he would give up his bottom line for freedom. It seemed that Yan Xiao still cared a lot about his innocence.

"I'm not into homosexuality! Just give up on this idea!"

"Tsk, then just stay here by yourself!" Lu Zhanxing didn't want to pay attention to him anymore, so he stood up and turned to go downstairs.

"and many more!!"

Yan Xiao suddenly called her.

Lu Zhanxing turned to look at him expectantly. Has he changed his mind?

Seeing Lu Zhanxing's eyes, Yan Xiao was speechless and could only say dryly: "Thank you for coming to see me!"

"Who asked you to thank me?" Lu Zhanxing stopped arguing with him and turned away.

Yan Xiao did not chase after him. He could only shake his head and smile, continuing to get drunk alone.

It’s nice to at least have an old friend who cares about me.

It was already dawn when Lu Zhanxing sneaked back to the inn. He changed into his underwear and prepared to have a good sleep when Ling'er came knocking on the door.

"Father, wake up, let's go out and play!"

After Lu Zhanxing opened the door, he yawned and said, "You guys go play, father needs to sleep a little longer."

"Father is a lazy bum."

Ling'er was held by Mu Qingli, and she wrinkled her nose, looking very dissatisfied.

"Yes, yes, your father is a lazy bum. Go play with your dad and let your father sleep a little longer."

She hadn't slept all night, so she needed to make up for the sleep.

"Eat breakfast before going to bed." Mu Qingli reminded.

"Got it. Go and have fun first. We will leave Dayan in two days."

They have to go back to reunite before the Mid-Autumn Festival, otherwise their parents will worry.

Mu Qingli took Ling'er and the others to play outside, while Bai Jing stood guard outside the door.

Three days later, the group prepared to return to Beijing.

The problem of the poison has been solved, and there is a corresponding method, so the crisis can be resolved.

Ling'er was also rescued. After An'an grows up, we will find a way to remove the poison from his body. This way it will be safer.

Lu Zhanxing thought, this time when he returns, he can finally live a peaceful and comfortable life as a prince, right?

As for who spread the rumor, she didn't care. Let her brother solve it. Anyway, she wanted to rest in peace when she returned this time.

After leaving the territory of Dayan, they set out from Yanzhou.

The carriage moved slowly forward. Mu Qingli was teaching Ling'er to read, while Lu Zhanxing was eating cakes and fruits and drinking tea made by Huali, feeling very comfortable.

They would replenish supplies wherever they arrived, and most of the rest of the time they were just on the road. When they were passing through a mountain, it suddenly started to rain heavily, and they had no choice but to take shelter in a nearby Taoist temple.

The Taoist temple is not big, with only an old Taoist priest and a young Taoist priest.

The old Taoist priest was a Taoist with white hair and an immortal look, and his Taoist name was Wuwei. The young Taoist priest was about seven or eight years old and also looked very handsome.

He was dressed in white clothes as white as snow, with no extra hair accessories in his black hair except for a jade hairpin to secure his hair. His handsome and flawless face was cold, with an unforgettable streak of cinnabar between his eyebrows, making him look like a fairy child in heaven.

At such a young age, Lu Zhanxing could already see that this boy would grow up to be a handsome man that countless women would be obsessed with.

It’s a pity that he is a Taoist priest. Can a Taoist priest get married?

She couldn't help but think of another ethereal Taoist priest Xuanqi.

They were welcomed into the house.

There are side rooms on the left and right sides, and the hall in the middle is where the statue of Tianzun is enshrined.

They first paid a lot of incense money, and the old Taoist priest enthusiastically gave up a room for them to live in.

Huaguo and Huali went into the wing to clean up, Bai Jing was guarding the door, and Lu Zhanxing and others were invited to the next wing to drink tea.

"Laymen, please!"

Lu Zhanxing, Mu Qingli and Ling'er were sitting opposite them. When they saw the old Taoist priest inviting them to tea, they thanked him before taking a sip.

After taking a sip, Ling'er said cutely, "This tea is different from what I usually drink. It's light, fragrant, and delicious."

"This is the tea I make by getting up early every morning to collect dew water. It is different."

The young Taoist priest next to the old Taoist priest, who was about eight years old, responded first.

Little Taoist

The old Taoist priest was a little surprised to see his disciple, who was so frugal with words, actually speak, but he still explained: "This is my disciple Bai Yu. The old Taoist priest and I have always been traveling outside. This time, when the new dynasty came, my disciple and I came back to seek refuge. Now that the world is temporarily stable, if you had been two days later, we would have gone traveling again."

"Then we came at the right time. Thank you, Taoist priest, for taking us in." Lu Zhanxing still thanked him politely.

"You are too polite, sir. Most of us eat dry food. If you need to eat, you need to prepare it yourself."

Mu Qingli and Lu Zhanxing first expressed their gratitude and then left with Ling'er.

The master and his disciple were the only ones left in the room. The old Taoist stroked his white beard and said, "Your fate has come. That girl looked lucky and shouldn't have appeared. But she came. This is your fate. She will definitely help you change your destiny in the future."

Although his disciple came from a wealthy family, he was born with bad luck and was unlucky with his relatives and friends. He was destined to be lonely and helpless. If he stayed with his relatives, he would harm them. When Taoist Wuwei met him while traveling, he took him with him and showed him the country, so as to prevent his temperament from changing.

Before, the old Taoist priest always thought that his disciple would not be able to survive this hurdle. However, two years ago, he calculated that his disciple actually had a glimmer of hope.

He hurriedly took his disciple back to the Taoist temple and waited for the disciple's destined person.

Now, what he had been waiting for finally came. There were many changes in this world, but he could feel that this world had been corrected. Even Lu Zhanxing and Mu Qingli, who were originally short-sighted, had their destinies changed against the will of heaven.

After hearing what his master said, the young Taoist priest nodded expressionlessly.

"Master, I understand. The first time I saw her, I knew I should take off this Taoist robe!"
