Let’s Squander A Billion First!

Chapter 876: Chapter 876: Phoenix Dominates the Rivers and Mountains (18)

The Seventh Princess called her confidant.

”Go and invite Daoist Nun Hui Zhen.”

She originally wanted the nun to see if someone was truly possessed by a ghost during the hunt.

But the subsequent events led to this matter being delayed.

Now that they’ve met and Hui Zhen is here, she wants to see for herself today.

Ning Yao, who was closest to the Seventh Princess, hadn’t heard what she said to her confidant.

But she could roughly guess.

She would wait and watch what happens next.

Ning Yao looked towards Chuzheng.

The woman sat there, her gaze lowered, not looking at anyone present.

Someone approached to speak to her, and she merely responded in a lukewarm manner.

The man wearing the veiled hat sat beside her, looking somewhat restless.

This was the eldest son of the Yann family.

She heard that the Seventh Princess had long had designs on this son but never had the opportunity.

Ning Yao watched the Seventh Princess discreetly.

Sure enough, the Seventh Princess’s gaze was fixated on the man opposite, as if she could see his features through the veiled hat.

-

The Daoist nun was soon invited over, and the Seventh Princess stood up to warmly greet her.

”Daoist Nun Hui Zhen.”

”Seventh Princess.”

The nun looked somewhat aged, with an ethereal and otherworldly aura.

”Seventh Imperial Sister, what are you inviting the nun for?” Ning Yao asked, feigning ignorance.

”Nothing much,” the Seventh Princess said. ”Hui Zhen is conveniently in the Imperial City. I heard her Taoist practices are profound, so I specially invited her. You all leave first.”

The flamboyantly dressed men bowed and left.

Among the few men left, besides Yann Ge, the other two appeared to be Scions of Noble Families.

Daoist Nun Hui Zhen was very modest: ”You flatter, Seventh Highness. My understanding of Taoist practices is not profound, just modest.”

”Hahaha, Daoist Nun Hui Zhen, you are too modest.” The Seventh Princess invited Daoist Nun Hui Zhen to sit.

The Seventh Princess sneaked a glance towards Chuzheng.

Chuzheng calmly watched on.

But her gaze was somewhat cold, making it hard for the Seventh Princess to discern whether she was looking at the nun or into the void.

The Seventh Princess withdrew her gaze.

She addressed everyone present: ”Daoist Nun Hui Zhen is very skilled; you can ask her anything you want.”

Someone curiously asked, ”Does the nun know everything?”

The Seventh Princess coaxed from the side: ”Ask and you’ll find out.”

”I’ll give it a try.”

Previously accompanying the Fifth Princess, a young man bowed to Daoist Nun Hui Zhen.

He seemed a bit embarrassed but spoke up: ”Dare I ask, when will I find the one who captures my heart?”

The nun asked the Seventh Princess for pen and paper, and for the young man to write down a character.

”Your heart’s desire is right by your side,” the nun said slowly.

The man glanced towards Chuzheng.

Yann Ge frowned slightly.

”He wasn’t looking at me,” Chuzheng spoke. ”Why are you nervous?”

Hearing the voice, Yann Ge suddenly released Chuzheng’s hand, hiding it in his sleeve.

The one sitting next to Chuzheng was the Fifth Princess.

The young man came with the Fifth Princess; it was highly likely he was looking at her.

”Your Highness, I am not nervous.”

Chuzheng leaned slightly towards him: ”You don’t want me to have another Attendant Lord?”

Yann Ge: ”...”

With the veil, his voice sounded somewhat muffled.

”Your Highness will have more people by your side in the future. I dare not expect anything else, just wish that Your Highness doesn’t cast me away and gives me a place of refuge.”

”Sincere words?”

”Of course, Yann Ge dares not deceive Your Highness.”

I see you’re quite daring!

Since he appeared, not a moment was he genuinely sincere!

Little liar!

Chuzheng, blocked by the fabric, grabbed his hand: ”You can ask more from me; it is your right.”

His heart trembled at the words.

Blood coursed through him, warm and burning.

No!

This isn’t right!

He pinched himself, instantly coming to his senses.

Yann Ge dutifully replied: ”I dare not.”

Chuzheng said nothing more, just pulled his hand into her sleeve, gently holding it.

Yann Ge: ”...”

On the other side, quite a number of people had gathered near Hui Zhen.

”Wow, it’s really accurate!”

”The nun is amazing.”

”Nun, look at mine too, please.”

Everyone was asking minor questions, and Daoist Nun Hui Zhen could answer almost all of them with about eighty to ninety percent accuracy.

”Imperial Sister, why don’t you ask something too?” The Seventh Princess suddenly shifted her attention to Chuzheng.

”I have no doubts,” Chuzheng responded flatly.

The Seventh Princess dropped her previous ”I don’t like you” demeanor: ”Everyone has doubts; how can Imperial Sister not have any? Today Hui Zhen is just chatting with us, doing nothing else, just ask casually?”

Daoist Nun Hui Zhen nodded cooperatively towards Chuzheng.

Everyone was watching Chuzheng.

Under the spotlight.

Not asking seemed a bit impolite.

Chuzheng straightened her body and politely looked at the nun: ”When can I sleep tonight?”

Daoist Nun Hui Zhen: ”...”

The others: ”...”

Is this a serious question?

Who knows when you’re going to sleep tonight?!

Even if you guess it right, if you change your sleep time, it still wouldn’t be accurate, would it?!

”Elder Imperial Sister, aren’t you deliberately making things difficult? Is this fun?”

”You told me to ask.” Chuzheng was righteously confident.

There’s no rule against asking this.

Why are you being so aggressive!

”You...”

”Seventh Imperial Sister, Imperial Sister doesn’t want to ask, don’t force her,” Ning Yao stopped the Seventh Princess. ”Let’s call it a day.”

”Third Imperial Sister, why do you keep speaking up for her? Does she even care about you now?” You’re being warm-hearted but facing indifference.

”She’s our Imperial Sister; watch your words!”

The Seventh Princess snorted coldly: ”Died once and her character changed. I think she’s mostly possessed. Since Daoist Nun Hui Zhen is here, why not let her see for herself.”

Daoist Nun Hui Zhen frowned: ”Seventh Highness, these words...”

”Perhaps Daoist Nun Hui Zhen doesn’t know,” the Seventh Princess pushed past Ning Yao, ”my Eldest Imperial Sister’s experiences are quite extraordinary.”

”Seventh Imperial Sister!”

Ning Yao, anxiously wanted to stop the Seventh Princess.

The Seventh Princess spilled the beans, rattling off about Chuzheng’s death and resurrection.

”Daoist Nun Hui Zhen, have you ever heard of such strange occurrences?”

Daoist Nun Hui Zhen frowned: ”People coming back to life, I have indeed heard some stories.”

”Have you really heard, Daoist Nun Hui Zhen?”

Everyone immediately became interested.

Daoist Nun Hui Zhen nodded: ”There was once a villager who unexpectedly died. His family gave him a decent burial. But surprisingly, during the burial, there were knocks from inside the coffin.”

”Did he come back to life?”

”Yes, he did.” Daoist Nun Hui Zhen replied, ”However, the villager’s character did not change.”

The Seventh Princess: ”Then... what about my Eldest Imperial Sister? Could it really be like the rumors outside, that she’s possessed? Daoist Nun Hui Zhen, you are a highly regarded nun. Could you please take a look, my Imperial Sister has been acting quite odd!”
