Transmigrated as the Treacherous Official's Childhood Sweetheart-Chapter 259: Lone Phoenix Calamity Star

The Solitary Luan Disaster Star, with a cold, somber, and indifferent temperament.

Controlled by fierce disaster, it predominantly brings injury.

Ordinary people encountering it face disaster not caused by themselves. When met during the annual fortune journey, it also signifies disputes and slander.

Shen Chen was taken aback; it was yet another utterance about the disaster star. Beneath his small sword-like eyebrows, his amber eyes were filled with deep and shadowy darkness.

"State Preceptor, I don’t understand. I clearly haven’t done anything, so why does that fortune teller say I’m destined to bring disaster? My grandfather thinks I caused my parents’ death, and hates me to the bone. Now, even you are saying this."

His tone carried a sense of the world’s indifference and cruelty!

He clearly didn’t do anything wrong, yet faced such a calamity.

And now, even the State Preceptor calculated that he was a Solitary Luan Disaster Star!

Shen Chen wore a sorrowful green gauzy robe, his hair secured with a bamboo hairpin, carrying a faint scent of orchid deer fragrance, sitting in the secondary seat, and with a delicate smile of bitterness on his face: "I can only blame my bad birthdate and eight characters."

Feeling deeply troubled inside, parentless and now living in Ah Zhi’s home, it was hard enough to become the State Preceptor’s closed-door disciple, and now this happened.

Pei Wanmu knew his distress and comforted: "I don’t mean to reject you, just informing you about your destiny, and that we must travel together to Dragon Tiger Mountain soon. My swordsmanship still needs improvement, and this time, I’m also going to Dragon Tiger Mountain to seek my master’s guidance. Everyone has a destiny predetermined by heaven, sometimes, not mentioning it doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist."

"What of a Solitary Luan Disaster Star? As long as you can protect your friends and family, there’s nothing to fear in this world. However, under such conditions, the priority is to protect yourself; you must overcome the hardships of your troubled childhood one by one."

"Within the court, one faces many important ministers every day, interacting with the supreme ruler constantly. A single misstep can lead to unnecessary trouble, even deadly dangers."

"Understand your destiny and importance, and you’ll comprehend your mission."

"The Daqing Dynasty outwardly celebrates, but it won’t last forever. In many places, there’s sorrow visible to us, which will only increase later on. At this time, the court needs an elite to oversee the situation, and you are that person."

The Little Traitor, sitting in the secondary seat, was nine years old this year, listening to the man’s words in total silence.

To oversee the situation?

Being a precocious child, he understood the State Preceptor’s words, yet having no power, no authority, and being parentless, how could he oversee the situation?

The Little Traitor wondered: "But, Qinglian says you calculated you won’t live past thirty, so you take a disciple to inherit your mantle. Is that so, State Preceptor?"

The male on the main seat had just finished speaking a lengthy segment, sipping tea to ease his throat, when he heard this question and almost choked.

"Cough cough!"

How could the Little Princess speak recklessly, wasn’t she told not to reveal it to others?

Surely, she must have told the Chief of Staff’s youngest daughter and Huanhuan, and since Shen Chen is also present, everything’s exposed...

Pei Wanmu secretly vowed never to chatter with the Little Princess again; she couldn’t keep secrets.

He steadied his expression, continuing to act as if nothing happened: "That is unrelated, finish your enlightenment studies, and we’ll proceed to Dragon Tiger Mountain."

Enlightenment studies belong to a newborn stage.

Now, it’s early March, meaning that by the end of June, at the beginning of July, departure is due.

Shen Chen nodded: "Good, and there’s one more thing that this disciple wishes to ask of Master." Quick to react, he immediately changed to calling him Master.

The man’s magnetically charged voice replied: "Speak freely."
