Mu Hanqi pouted, sighing, "Yes, Grandpa only wants me to marry Song Yuanfeng, but what kind of person is Song Yuanfeng? He's a playboy. I don't know if his seventh rank on the Heaven's Chosen List was bought with money."
Ji Kong chuckled helplessly, "The seventh rank on the Heaven's Chosen List can't be bought with money."
Mu Hanqi glanced at him, "Didn't you say you can divine? Why don't you cast a divination for me and see if my boyfriend will come?"
Ji Kong shook his head, "Impossible, impossible. The cycle of cause and effect in the Heavenly Dao has its own destiny, and it should not be revealed lightly."
In fact, the plain truth was that he didn't want to calculate it for her, fearing he would disappoint and sadden her.
"If you don't calculate, I'll hit your head. It's been a while since I've hit it. The 'clang clang clang' sounds so nice, hehe."
Ji Kong: "......"
"Fine, this monk can only calculate the general outline, not the specific result."
"Mhm, my boyfriend's name is Ye Longlin, 'lin' from qilin."
Upon hearing this name, the old monk's heart suddenly jolted, but he began to calculate.
The Darmo Palm Sutra.
The Darmo Palm Sutra is said to have been created by the renowned Chan Master Yixing during the Tang Dynasty, a great astronomer, mathematician, and one of the founders of Esoteric Buddhism.
At that time, the Emperor bestowed upon Yixing the title of State Preceptor, showcasing his immense fame. The Palm Sutra uses the twelve palaces—'Heavenly Noble', 'Heavenly Calamity', 'Heavenly Power', 'Heavenly Destruction', 'Heavenly Treachery', 'Heavenly Astronomy', 'Heavenly Fortune', 'Heavenly Post', 'Heavenly Solitary', 'Heavenly Blade', 'Heavenly Art', and 'Heavenly Longevity'—to calculate the years, months, days, and hours.
It uses these twelve items to judge the fortune and misfortune of a person's parents, ancestral property, siblings, spouse, and offspring.
Suddenly, with a movement of his palms, the calculation concluded.
Monk Ji Kong's face drastically changed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, staining the Buddha altar.
"Pfft—"
Seeing him suddenly vomit blood, Mu Hanqi became instantly anxious.
"Old monk, old monk, what's wrong? I'll go call a doctor, wait for me."
Monk Ji Kong had practically watched Mu Hanqi grow up, so she ignored his occasional impoliteness.
He had no descendants in his life, but he uniquely favored Mu Hanqi. In his words, perhaps they were fated.
"Princess, there's no need. It's just that this matter... your boyfriend... has quite a significant background. This old monk dares not speak, dares not speak. Amitabha."
Monk Ji Kong clasped his hands together and recited Buddhist scriptures.
Seeing that he was alright, Mu Hanqi was relieved. She couldn't help but be curious. Leaning on her knees, she tilted her small head towards the old monk and asked, "Hey, what did you divine?"
The old monk pondered for a moment, "Goodness, goodness. Miss Mu's marriage will be blissful, and her life will be perfect. However, Mr. Ye... Mr. Ye's path will be arduous, and he will face multiple life-threatening dangers in the future. Only you can resolve them."
After speaking, Monk Ji Kong looked at her, a mixture of helplessness and profound insight in his gaze.
"Miss Mu, when you were born, this poor monk said that your marriage would be blissful, and that remains true. However, you must think clearly, this path is not easy."
After receiving the answer she wanted, Mu Hanqi's mood immediately brightened. She waved her hand dismissively.
"Old monk, if you lie to this girl, I'll smash your prayer beads and replace them with stainless steel."
Ji Kong's lips twitched, and he repeatedly chanted scriptures, "Sin, sin."
"Ji Ming, prepare my funeral rites. Keep it simple."
He had calculated that his end was near, and he could not change this situation. Furthermore, dying at the hands of that person was his own will.
......
"Boss, Dragon Pavilion doesn't have much information. Regarding the war criminals, we've only found one so far, codenamed 444, nicknamed Wan Tongbao.
This person has no national boundaries and deals in intelligence. When they captured him, his intelligence business spanned across Asia, and he sold information from many countries. We don't know where this person's information originated. He has countless pieces of information. According to the records, during his interrogation, charges included treason and others.
If he is here, I believe he will know the whereabouts of other war criminals. My suggestion is to apprehend him directly!"
Xuan Niao was the first to return with a report. Currently, there was only news of Wan Tongbao, but this person was indeed useful. He should know the whereabouts of other war criminals, which could provide a breakthrough for their current stalemate.
Ye Longlin looked at the documents before him. His last known appearance was in Tongbao Building. However, checks revealed that this Tongbao Building had no relation to Wan Tongbao. But the CEO of Tongbao Building should know something about Wan Tongbao.
"I want to meet the person in charge of Tongbao Building this afternoon. Notify them in advance."
Wan Tongbao operated through intelligence and information, so there was no need to worry about whether he was still in Qing City.
As long as there was profit, he would be hiding in some corner of Qing City!
"Understood."
At this moment, Yuan Gang returned.
"Boss, these are the compiled documents. These two families involve too many people. If we act against them, it could easily cause a collapse. Additionally, Tian Yi's father-in-law is a retired four-star general, also currently in Qing City. If we want to make a move against the Tian family, this retired general will definitely intervene.
The Martial Arts Association is not much of a problem. The only trouble is that the second elder killed today was from the Wuji sect, but it's highly unlikely they'll act personally. I'll have Dragon Pavilion communicate with them. If they make a move, we won't hold back either."
Yuan Gang handed over the documents. Ye Longlin glanced at them. The entire Tian family's network was quite extensive, almost all important figures in Qing City had some connection to the Tian family, with a vast web of interests.
"We will pay a visit tomorrow. And kill."
"Investigate where Tian Shishi is. Xiao Xiao is still waiting for a corneal transplant at the hospital."
Mentioning this matter, a cold glint flashed in Ye Longlin's eyes!
Even children could be harmed, they were truly beasts!
"Tian Shishi is attending a press conference this evening to establish a charity foundation, using her own story to call for social charity. I don't think it's that simple, especially since that piece of cake is quite large."
Indeed, everyone knew how she had survived.
Moreover, she was always arrogant and overbearing. Would such a person have such a kind heart to do charity?
It was almost laughable.
"Mhm, we'll meet her tonight. Also, I'm curious how much charity funds they can raise tonight."
Ye Longlin asked Yuan Gang with a hint of playfulness, suddenly remembering something, "Do we still have any truth serum?"
He tapped on Tian Shishi's name with one hand. Yuan Gang instantly understood his meaning and sneered, nodding, "Understood. I know what to do. Don't worry, boss, you'll definitely see a good show!"
Xuan Niao looked at Tian Shishi's photo and chuckled softly, "When you don't respect life, no one will respect you."
