Chapter 849: The Power of the New Skill (1)
A woman in plain white clothes was slowly walking over.
Although the woman was over middle-aged, from her appearance, she must have been very elegant when she was young.
When Xu Bai saw this woman, he cupped his hands and said,””Greetings, Empress. Empress, my condolences.”
The Empress shook her head gently and looked at Xu Bai with a complicated gaze.””In the past, when you were drinking with Eunuch Wei in the palace, we had seen you before, but I had never spoken too much to you. Today, I am looking for you because there is something important.”
“Please instruct me, Your Majesty.” Xu Bai said.”
He did not expect that the person he saw was actually the Empress.
He had met Eunuch Wei a few times when he was drinking with him in the Imperial Palace. They had chatted for a while, but they hadn’t talked much.
In his impression, this woman did not have much of a presence, but to be able to sit firmly in the position of Empress in the harem, she must have her own means.
Therefore, Xu Bai was curious about the Empress’s appearance. He didn’t know why.
The Empress took out a letter from her sleeve and handed it to Xu Bai.””BenGong found this when I was tidying up His Majesty’s belongings. There is a handwriting that requires you to personally open it. I recognize His Majesty’s handwriting. This was written by His Majesty and was not opened.”
Xu Bai was slightly stunned. After receiving it, he looked at the intact cover but did not open it.
“You can take your time to read it. I still have to go to the mourning hall.”The Empress didn’t say anything else and turned to leave.
Xu Bai looked at the Empress’s back until she was far away. He then looked at the letter in his hand with a complicated expression.
He was not a person who showed joy on his face, but he knew that the Emperor had treated him well ever since he met the Emperor.
Now, he had left a letter for him alone. It must be something very important.
“Let’s see.”
Thinking of this, Xu Bai opened the letter and read it carefully.
The contents of the letter were written on the paper. It was written in vigorous and powerful handwriting, and it gave off a soul-stirring sense of oppression.
[Xu Bai, I’m glad to see you.]
[If you read this letter, I might have already gone to the Bizarre Market. My soul would probably be gone. You should know what I’m going to do.]
[I didn’t leave anything for anyone else. I only left you this letter to tell you that I hired the best fortune teller in Great Chu to read your fortune.]
[At that time, someone asked me about it. I only said that you were a genius that was hard to come by in a hundred years and that you would be of great benefit to Great Chu. However, these were all my words.]
When Xu Bai saw this, his eyes narrowed slightly.
Divination?
He knew that before he went to the capital, the Chu Emperor had found the best fortune teller in Great Chu to read his fortune.
There was a ninth-grade Transcendent expert in the Great Chu Country who was good at fortune-telling.
Xu Bai was also proficient in this path, but this profession was too complicated. He did not know how to calculate the various luck trends of people.
And this person from Great Chu was good at this.
He had originally thought that the Chu Emperor was speaking the truth, but he never expected that it was just a smokescreen to conceal the truth.
“What is so special about me?”
With this thought in mind, Xu Bai continued to look down.
He flipped to the second page, and the contents of the letter continued to expand.
[Why should I hide it? You should be very curious. I’ve already gone to the Bizarre Market. I can’t take this thing away. Of course, I have to tell you myself.]
[That day, the fortune teller once said that besides bringing unimaginable benefits to the motherland, you will also bring great changes to the world.]
[These are not the most important things. The most important thing is that he calculated your origin and almost lost his life in the end.]
[In the end, I asked him what he had calculated. He replied that he came from an unknown place. In the future, he could bring benefits to Great Chu and change the world, but the most fundamental change was this.]
[Good or bad?]
[He couldn’t explain it clearly. If it’s good, it’s a blessing for all the people in the world. If it’s bad, no one can stop you. You’ll become the nightmare of the entire world.]
Nightmare?
Xu Bai clenched the letter in his hand.
He had never considered these things.
“Am I good or bad? Probably it’s good to be good, right?”
“At least from the looks of it, I didn’t bring any nightmares.”
With this thought in mind, he didn’t finish reading the letter. He first put down his thoughts and continued reading.
[I don’t know if this is the right thing to do, but for now, you’re developing in a good place.]
[And the most important thing, which is also the root of this letter, is that you… She should have been a widow or even a person destined to die young, but for some reason, her fate had changed.]
[There is something in your body that changes the root of your fate, but no one can touch it, and no one dares to touch it. Whoever touches it will die, and I am no exception.]
[If you want to find the source of this thing, there is only one place.]
[It’s not a bizarre market, but a relic.]
[There are the origins and endings of each era. Perhaps you can find the answer there.]
The content of the letter ended here. Xu Bai kept the letter quietly and repeated it in his heart.
“Ruins…Ruins…”
He knew why he changed his fate and why he died early in the beginning.
