Looking at the seven mountain peaks, Lu Fan headed towards the eastern one.
These seven peaks pierced the clouds, and any one of them was extraordinary, so he didn't need to dwell on which one to choose.
Inside the mountain gate, Liu Li saw that no one dared to challenge the sword formation and said with a smile, "Since no one dares to challenge, this last spot will have to be forfeited!"
"We have come with sincere hearts to seek a divination, can you not be a little accommodating!"
Several men spoke up, frowning. They had tried earlier, and it was very difficult to pass the sword formation, otherwise, they would not have hesitated like this.
"Shen Ji Mountain has its rules!"
Liu Li waved her hand and had the mountain protection formation closed. Those who were not qualified to enter Shen Ji Mountain naturally could not enter.
Many men were displeased but could do nothing. Such were the rules of Shen Ji Mountain, and they dared not disobey.
On the summit of Jiulong Peak, Shen Yehong leaped forward, accompanied by several attendants.
"You don't need to follow!"
Shen Yehong said, "I wish to have a discussion with the Daoist!"
"Princess, rest assured!"
The guards cupped their fists and said, "We will wait here and ensure no one disturbs you!"
Shen Yehong nodded slightly and then stepped towards the summit. She was no longer young, and her visit to Shen Ji Mountain this time was for her marriage.
On the summit of Jiulong Mountain, there was a thatched hut. Beside the hut, an old man was tending to flowers with an air of leisure.
"Jiulong Daoist, I've come again!"
Shen Yehong chuckled, "This is my third visit to Jiulong Peak. Last time you said I would meet my destined one this time. I wonder where he is?"
"Princess, do not be anxious!"
Jiulong Daoist chuckled, "As the saying goes, destiny cannot be forced. Why don't Princess play a game of chess with me and wait here for a moment!"
Shen Yehong nodded slightly and sat down. She had waited for so many days, and she wasn't in a hurry for a few hours.
Meanwhile, within Jiulong Peak, Lu Fan leaped upwards. After a while, he reached the summit. Just as he was about to walk forward, he was reprimanded by several people, "The Princess is inside. Unauthorized personnel are not allowed to enter."
Lu Fan frowned, "I'm here to seek a divination, and the Princess is also here to seek a divination. Why can't I enter?"
"Presumptuous! How dare you compare yourself to the Princess."
The leading guard's expression was cold, staring intently at Lu Fan. If this were not Shen Ji Mountain, Lu Fan would likely be in danger today.
Lu Fan was quite displeased. He hadn't expected that seeking a divination would cause such unpleasantness.
Just then, a figure also rushed over from behind, "What is the meaning of this? Everyone who comes to Shen Ji Mountain is a distinguished guest. Why are you blocking the way?"
"The Princess is inside conversing with the Daoist," the leading guard cupped his fists and said, "Please wait here."
"Shen Ji Mountain does not have this rule."
Liu Li said, "If my master were to know, you would likely be punished today."
The guards frowned but dared not say more. The person before them was the eldest disciple of Shen Ji Mountain, whose status was not to be underestimated, and they could not afford to offend her.
"You follow me!"
Liu Li glanced at Lu Fan and then stepped towards the thatched hut on the mountaintop. She appeared quite calm, and the guards beside her did not dare to stop her.
Lu Fan did not hesitate and quickly followed. It was quite good to have someone clear the way.
Upon reaching the summit, Liu Li saw Jiulong Daoist and Shen Yehong playing chess, appearing to be evenly matched.
"Princess, at such a young age, your chess skills are truly exquisite."
Jiulong Daoist smiled, "This old man admits defeat."
Shen Yehong smiled and was about to speak when she saw Lu Fan beside her, her brow furrowing slightly.
"If I'm not mistaken, young friend, you are also here to seek a divination, aren't you?"
Jiulong Daoist smiled, "Please come and sit here."
"Thank you, senior!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists and then came to sit beside the thatched hut, appearing quite humble. The old man before him had an extremely strong aura, likely not an ordinary person.
However, he spoke so courteously, which was worthy of respect.
"I have already calculated the divination you seek, young friend!"
Jiulong Daoist took out a piece of paper, "This is the answer you wanted."
Lu Fan was a little surprised. Before he could speak, Jiulong Daoist had already calculated it for him. If he truly possessed such ability, it would be astonishing.
Upon opening the slip of paper, Lu Fan saw the three large characters "San Jiao Yu" and was even more puzzled, "Senior, have you misunderstood? I am not going there."
"Tong Tian Academy is in San Jiao Yu!"
Jiulong Daoist stated directly, "Where the three great dynasties converge is San Jiao Yu, and Tong Tian Academy is also there!"
"So that's how it is!"
Lu Fan cupped his fists slightly, his heart filled with excitement. Shen Ji Mountain truly lived up to its reputation. It had calculated it before he even spoke, which was simply a marvel of creation.
"Thank you for your reminder, senior. What would you like as a reward?" Lu Fan asked again.
"Your coming to Jiulong Peak indicates that you and I are destined. What reward is there to speak of?"
Jiulong Daoist smiled, "Consider it building good karma!"
"Thank you very much then!"
Lu Fan rose slightly and then turned to leave. Now that he knew the answer, his trip was not in vain.
After Lu Fan turned and left, Shen Yehong frowned and said, "Daoist, you wouldn't mean to say that my destined one is him, would you?"
"That's right!"
Jiulong Daoist nodded, "You and he indeed have unfinished affections!"
"Just because of him?"
Shen Yehong frowned, "I, the dignified Princess Tai Yan, how can he be worthy? Has the Daoist miscalculated?"
"My calculations of divination are never wrong," Jiulong Daoist shook his head, "If the Princess does not believe me, I have nothing more to say."
"Since the Daoist has said so, I understand."
Shen Yehong nodded slightly and then got up to leave. In her eyes, her destined one must be a peerless hero who could dominate a region.
But she never imagined it would be the person from just now. If that were truly the case, she would rather remain unmarried for life than compromise herself.
After Shen Yehong left, Jiulong Daoist sighed, "The world knows my divine calculations are unparalleled, but if they are not satisfied, they still do not believe."
"Master, you don't need to be like this."
Liu Li quickly said, "The Princess didn't say she didn't believe just now, why do you have to be like this."
"To reveal heavenly secrets is to shorten one's lifespan."
Jiulong Daoist waved his hand, "Although the Princess did not say it directly just now, I can see the killing intent in his eyes."
"Doesn't that mean the person from just now is in danger?" Liu Li said hurriedly.
"If the Princess does not fancy him, she will find a way to destroy him."
Jiulong Daoist stated directly, "I should not have revealed this matter. If it leads to his death, it would be a heinous crime."
"Master, don't worry, I'll go remind him right away!"
Liu Li said and left the thatched hut. She dared not disobey her master's command.
"Princess, should we go back now?"
The leading guard said, "The Emperor does not know about this outing. If he blames us, we will not be able to bear the consequences!"
