Zhizhou: \"You're An Official, But You're Raising A Bunch Of Demonesses?

Chapter 57: What do you think of him? Is he a demon star?

"If there's a chance."

These few words are very important.

Lan Chi narrowed his eyes and didn't say much. He just asked Bai Yu, "Bai Yu, can you tell me what my father summoned you for a few days ago?"

"A few days ago... His Majesty summoned me?"

It seems that the Second Prince has not seen his test paper.

Bai Yu looked at him with interest and smiled, "His Majesty found me handsome and wanted to appoint me as a nobleman and marry a princess to me!"

"But I believe in the freedom of love, so I politely declined His Majesty."

When it comes to talking nonsense, Bai Yu is a professional.

Lan Chi: ...

Even if you're making it up, at least make it sound decent!

If anyone believes it, Lan Chi will laugh at him for the rest of his life.

But what he doesn't know is that in these few days, Lan Su has actually had such thoughts.

Marriage alliance is always a foolproof method.

"Haha, Bai Yu, are you unmarried?"

Although sixteen years old is considered young in modern times,

But in this era,

Most of those from well-off families are already married.

Lan Chi, who was quite close to Bai Yu, said, "Do you have anyone you admire? I can help you speak up in the capital. How about that?"

"Sure! Your Highness, Bai Yu doesn't have anyone in particular! I like everyone, I have a wide range of interests, and each beauty has her own merits. As long as she's good-looking, it's fine!"

"I heard that there's a courtesan named Hu Yue'er in the Flower Moon Tower. She's stunning and surpasses all others in beauty..."

"I've heard that Lady Li Wanying is also a peerless beauty, elegant and dignified. Can you introduce me to her?"

Lan Chi: ...

You're really not polite at all!

...

One is the current Second Prince, the other is a dark horse who emerged from the imperial examination.

The two of them chatted without much barrier.

Bai Yu doesn't have a sense of hierarchy. The impression the Second Prince left on him is not good, but not bad either.

He can score about 90 out of 100.

Lan Chi talked to Bai Yu about military affairs and could hear some enlightening words from his casual remarks.

The two of them enjoyed their conversation.

"Your Highness, it's getting late!"

"I'll take my leave!"

"There will be the palace examination in half a month, and many people are watching me! I have to prepare well."

The more they talked, the more Lan Chi felt that this prince was a bit... gay.

Bai Yu arched his hand and bid farewell.

"Alright!"

"I won't keep you then!"

"Come back and have a drink with me when you have time!"

The second prince, who has always been arrogant and domineering, rarely shows a kind smile.

He waved his hand towards Bai Yu.

"Bang."

The wooden door was closed.

Bai Yu had already left.

Only Lan Chi and three guards remained in the room.

The atmosphere returned to calm, and the kind smile on Lan Chi's face gradually disappeared.

"Old ghost, what do you think of him?"

"But what you said... about that demonic star?"

After a while, he asked faintly.

At the same time,

A hidden door on the wall of the room moved,

And an old man in a black robe walked out. He had wrinkles all over his face, one eye blind, and a terrifying appearance.

"Extraordinary bearing, outstanding talent, destined to be a great talent in this world."

"I only know his destiny is brilliant, his aura is long-lasting, and the rest... I can't see through."

The old man shook his head and said straightforwardly.

Lan Chi frowned and asked him in return, "You have studied the art of observing stars and physiognomy for eighty years, and you can't see through?"

People become more cunning as they grow older.

The old man's one eye was exceptionally bright, as if it could see through people's hearts.

He spoke calmly and unhurriedly, saying, "Your Highness, I have explained to you many times! The knowledge I possess cannot see through people's destinies!"

"I have encountered countless people whom I cannot see through, Your Highness, Your Majesty, and the Crown Princess... I cannot see through them either!"

"Observing the stars is nothing more than the mystical path, and physiognomy is nothing more than the experience of divination. No one can predict what will happen in the future."

"We can only explore and calculate the greatest possibilities, which is the study of destiny."

"Furthermore, my own experience is still shallow. If I truly possessed knowledge of all things and could see through the destinies of mortals, I would have become an immortal long ago!"

"The methods of the mystical path can only be used as assistance! They can never achieve the great path! Your Highness, instead of pondering these mystical paths, it would be better to focus on solidly planning and strategizing, using power and military might to achieve your own goals, and doing everything within your power!"

"Hmph!"

Lan Chi snorted coldly, "When you first met me, you told me that I had the destiny of a domineering supreme ruler, and that you came to assist me by the decree of heaven."

"Now you're going back and forth, talking about all these messy things!"

"Truly useless sorcerer!"

He glanced at the old man, saying disdainfully.

He was starting to feel that this old man was here to deceive him and freeload.

It seemed that the old man was often scolded by him,

But he had a thick skin and didn't care at all. He pointed out to Lan Chi, as if giving advice, "However, Your Highness..."

"I remind you that this person has something extraordinary protecting him."

"Do not push him too hard, or you will not be able to bear the consequences."
