Chapter 242: Fairness

What was the explanation?

When Gu Chaoyan heard the news, her eyes widened with sparkles as they were focused upon Zhou Huaijin.

Zhou Huaijin smiled in a spoiling way. Then he nodded and asked Fu Bao to guard the door out of caution. Yellow Crane was his own property, but he was still worried that someone might be eavesdropping behind the wall. He felt more assured with Fu Bao guarding outside.

The door was shut.

Then Zhou Huailing said, “There is one monk nicknamed Destiny at Putuo Temple. When Lord Ling went to him for fortune-telling a while ago, he predicted that The Phoenix Girl is going through a reincarnation and the one who is able to marry that girl will be the King of this land, or probably more than the whole land. Destiny said that the girl was reincarnated to the Gu Family, but did not point out which lady specifically. What he revealed was that it is a lady from the Gu Family.”

“...”

“That is why Lord Ling insists on marrying Gu Ruxue.”

As the words were mentioned, Zhou Huailing could not help but say with a mocking tone, “Lord Ling is a man with strategies, but he is now believing in what a monk says! So if someone marries the Phoenix Girl, he is able to get the entire country, or even the whole world too?”

He shook his head as he talked. He never believed in any superstitious things like this. If you wanted to get something, you had to fight for that, instead of relying upon a mysterious Phoenix Girl! Lord Ling was getting so old-fashioned.

Gu Chaoyan did not laugh along with him.

The reincarnation of the Phoenix Girl, one who was pointed out by Destiny? The reincarnated girl should be at the Gu Mansion?

She felt a bit startled. Could the monk mean her? She was a strange soul from a strange world and she possessed a space with magical water.

At this moment, she suddenly felt very thankful for what the original host had done to get herself a bad reputation.

Because of all of this, Lord Ling did not consider her as the girl and thought that it was Gu Ruxue.

How could that be possible? Why would she be related to the throne in the future? Gu Chaoyan just could not fathom the point.

“What is it? You look weird.” Zhou Huaijin asked, looking slightly worried.

Gu Chaoyan shook her head. She smiled. “I was thinking about what you said. It sounds so ridiculous. How could Lord Ling believe what a fortune-teller said? Maybe Mrs. Gu or Gu Ruxue bribed the monk so he spilled out something like this. But the two women should not have a brain like that.”

Gu Chaoyan was just making a conjecture. If that was the case, all would be easy.

Zhou Huaijin, however, shook his head instantly. “That is impossible. I am not sure about the other monks, but Destiny never gets bribed. Destiny is not a nickname he got for himself, but one the public granted to him. Also, he is not someone who receives bribes.”

The more certain Zhou Huaijin was, the more worried Gu Chaoyan became.

If that was the case then...

“Anyway, just let Lord Ling believe what he wants. We can drop him. Oh yes, the day for the entrance examination for Saint College is approaching, are you ready?”

“...”

“You may be aiming at the medical department and you are already a skilled doctor, still you have to pass three other tests during the process apart from medical skills.”

“...”

“Six skills, including manners, music, shooting, driving, calligraphy and algorithm. You pick three among the six you are best at for your own tests.

“...”

“You stand out with your medical skills, so the standards for the other three skills would not be too high for you.”

“...”

“The examination will be completely fair with me around.”
