Where does that wicked woman get her conscience?

Chapter 190 Help Me Tell a Fortune

Upon hearing this furious roar, Guan Xun was momentarily stunned.

This True Lord... he's got some nerve.

Is it that his eyesight is poor, or that he was blinded by anger?

The bath was so large that her figure was not enough to completely conceal the person behind her; a casual glance to the side would reveal the situation clearly.

Furthermore, his full head of silver hair is a rare sight in the world, yet the True Lord dares to call out like that.

Guan Xun glanced sideways at the person behind him, then his gaze returned to the people in the hall.

She tilted her head slightly, seemingly indifferent, and leaned against the edge of the bathtub: "Calm down, old people can't take this kind of stress."

Immediately, she raised her chin, gesturing for them to look at the tall figure fully exposed in their field of vision, and said in a flippant tone, "Well, this is the person who insists on sparring."

A thin mist rose slowly through the water's surface, and was dispersed considerably as the figures moved.

The Imperial Tutor's already soaked hair clung tightly to the sides of his face, water seeping down and forming a small, precarious droplet at the tip of his chin.

Upon hearing this, he slowly raised his head, his hair loosening and falling into the water, the water droplets also dripping down, the crisp sound particularly clear in the silent hall.

His white eyelashes fluttered, and he stared straight ahead at the several stiff figures.

With her body immersed in the bath, her robes still somewhat disheveled, and the misty atmosphere enhanced the otherwise dilapidated palace, making the atmosphere all the more ambiguous.

Some of the disciples had seen the deity before, and they were so frightened that their legs went weak and they knelt down on the ground with a thud.

The others, who were strangers, stood there dumbfounded, watching their fellow disciples kneel down one after another. Although they didn't know what had happened, they hurriedly knelt down as well.

The Northern True Lord trembled, his face turning deathly pale in an instant. The raging anger in his heart was extinguished as if someone had poured a bucket of cold water on it.

"God, God?!" he exclaimed in shock.

How could the God be here! He acted impulsively just now, spouting nonsense without even seeing who it was...

Remembering what he had just said, he felt like slapping himself. His pupils contracted sharply, and he knelt down along with his disciples.

"We are guilty; we misspoke just now. We beg your forgiveness..."

The disciples, unaware of the situation, were filled with fear when they heard their master call that person "God." Their curiosity was instantly replaced by terror, and they almost pressed their faces to the ground, trembling all over.

It was actually a deity! They had actually tried to cause trouble for the deity!

Before the Northern True Lord could finish speaking, he felt a terrifying chill rushing towards him. His body stiffened, and he pressed his withered hand to the ground. He wanted to argue, but the sudden pressure struck him hard. His elbow jerked, and he slammed heavily to the ground.

Immediately, the skin broke and bled, causing constant stinging pain.

He frowned, forcing himself not to make a sound.

"Pfft." Guan Xun smirked, unable to hold back his laughter.

The old man really brought trouble upon himself.

Suddenly noticing someone staring at her, she turned her head and happened to meet the gaze of the Taoist priest, who looked somewhat displeased.

She immediately cleared her throat and raised her hand to cover her upturned lips, which she couldn't suppress.

Seeing the Imperial Tutor turn his gaze, Guan Xun raised a single eyebrow, his gaze sweeping over the emperor's expressionless face, landing on the water-stained neck, and then moving downwards...

The brief silence was the hardest to endure, especially after offending the deity; even the Northern True Lord's palms were sweating.

The moment he moved his fingers, his words, devoid of any warmth, reached his ears.

"Go back."

Everyone's hearts skipped a beat, and they didn't dare to delay even for a moment, immediately responding and leaving.

Wait until people leave.

"Have you seen enough?"

The tone remained the same, but it was addressed to the people in the bath.

Before Guan Xun could react, the Imperial Tutor stood up from the bath, and with the sound of water, he was already standing high on the edge in the blink of an eye.

Surrounded by mist, his wet robes dried completely, and he looked exactly the same as when he arrived, showing no signs of having been in the water.

The pool water wasn't cold, but soaking in it for too long wasn't good.

Guan Xun followed closely behind and also sat down by the bath.

Her wet dress clung to her body, revealing her beautiful figure, and her fair feet were still dipping into the water, like a painting of her playing in the water.

The Imperial Tutor lowered his eyes slightly and looked away: "Don't push your luck."

The sudden remark startled Guan Xun for a moment, but she quickly realized that it was simply a warning not to take advantage of his indulgence and act recklessly in the Nine Heavens Palace.

These words confirm that he couldn't bear to hurt her.

"Of course." Guan Xun smiled slyly. She was not one to cause trouble; she wouldn't bother anyone unless they bothered her.

Of course, this is all on the premise that the other person doesn't have what she wants in their pocket...

Conversely, it's hard to say.

She raised her chin, her gaze falling on the Imperial Tutor's brows, a look of utter self-righteousness on her face.

Unexpectedly, this slip of the tongue has yielded such a result. It seems that the reason why the Imperial Tutor returned her heart earlier must be related to the tattoo.

And then there were the helpless expressions on the faces of several True Lords…

Although she didn't know the exact reason, she was content as long as she knew that the Imperial Tutor would no longer harm her.

She had no intention of roaming freely in the Nine Heavens Palace. At the moment, her most important matters were cultivation and the Heavenly Infant Flower... She would make further plans after she had finished her work here.

Thinking this through, Guan Xun frowned and his face turned serious: "By the way, do me a favor."

The Imperial Tutor remained silent, as if he hadn't heard a thing, not even lifting his eyelids.

Guan Xun didn't care. He lifted his wet hair and wrung out the water, saying to himself, "I want you to do a divination for me."

After a long while, there was still no reply.

"Didn't you just ask me what I wanted? It's this." Fearing the other party wouldn't agree, Guan Xun let out a deep sigh, his expression turning melancholy.

"If this matter is not resolved, I will have no mind to care about anything else, and the repair of the Heavenly Infant Cicada Flower will probably have to be postponed."

Upon hearing this, the Imperial Tutor raised his eyes slightly, looked at him indifferently, and after a short silence, slowly spoke: "What is it?"

"I agree!" Guan Xun was overjoyed. He loosened his grip on his hands, his hair immediately becoming disheveled. Ignoring the water droplets dripping from it, he braced his hands on the ground and leaned forward.

Her tone carried a hint of urgency: "Calculate the location, the place where Chi Rong is."

Perhaps realizing she was getting too excited, she calmed herself down and said in a much gentler tone, "It was my companion spirit pet. After we separated, I couldn't sense it anymore. I don't know if it's dead or alive. I want to see where it is now."

These things were already known to Guan Xun when the Imperial Tutor was still in the guise of a minor character, so there was no need for Guan Xun to hide them; he told the truth.

"You don't know?"

"What do you mean?" Guan Xun asked, puzzled.

"As long as the master is safe, the companion spirit pet will be safe too." The Imperial Tutor spoke slowly, paused for a moment, and then added, "Master and servant are in a relationship."

"What?!" Guan Xun's pupils dilated sharply, his expression one of utter astonishment.
