Fortune Technique Grandmaster

If public funds are indeed used to excavate the river embankment, it will be a matter that drags on for months or even a year or two without a resolution.

However, since the benefits brought by the Huaihe River Water Palace could be shared among many great cultivators, things were handled very quickly.

On the first morning, they inspected the location of the Huai River Water Palace. By the afternoon, they had already begun arranging for the mobilization of laborers. The laborers would arrive at the Huai River the next day to set up temporary accommodations, set up stoves, and transport supplies such as grain and firewood. The third day was for assigning work areas to each group, and various tools would be transported over. On the fourth day, work would officially begin.

Having suffered a loss at the hands of the Buddha's disciple, Crown Prince Liu Qian, as if determined to prove himself once again, was handling the matter with extraordinary enthusiasm, eagerly awaiting the discovery of the magnificent Huai River Water Palace.

Zhang Xuezhou, on the other hand, was busy eavesdropping on news from the high-ranking King of Huainan's Household.

This involves not only the people of Zhang Household Village in Xiashi Mountain, but also those who have already fled Zhang Household Village Mountain, as well as the horses that Zhang Cigong kidnapped.

As long as they follow Crown Prince Liu Qian and others, Zhang Xuezhou will be able to receive news in the fastest possible way.

It's clearly unlikely that we'll get results in just a few days.

The horse stables of Shouchun City searched everywhere for horses, while the matter of the Buddha's son seemed like a dream, and everyone deliberately avoided it.

It's best to avoid mentioning the embarrassing incident involving Crown Prince Liu Qian as much as possible, and whoever brings it up must have a solution, but no one is confident that they can remove the Buddha's son from the throne.

When rumors spread that the old Daoist priest behind the Tibetan monk was the master of a Sacred Land, even the most elite retainers avoided him like the plague.

Some things simply passed, and everyone was more interested in the Huaihe River Water Palace, tacitly choosing this matter to divert attention.

"I'm really sick! I'm seriously ill, and I've been relying on Grain Avoidance powder and practicing Grain Avoidance techniques to stay alive!"

Zhang Xuezhou also has some limitations.

For example, he will return to reality in three days, which means he will be unable to investigate any relevant information here for another long twelve days.

Under these circumstances, it was difficult for Zhang Xuezhou to do anything.

He had no choice but to inform the Crown Prince and others of his illness in advance, indicating that he was not running away in three days, but had contracted a serious illness and needed to recuperate.

Of course, Zhang Xuezhou also hoped that these people wouldn't mess with him. After all, Zhang Xuezhou had been messed with before, and his head had even been opened. If they continued to mess with him, he might die.

To avoid any unforeseen circumstances, Zhang Xuezhou had no choice but to make things clear in advance.

His unfortunate experience made many people sigh, and even the disgraced Crown Prince Liu Qian felt that it was rare to see someone as unlucky as Zhang Xuezhou.

"Since you presented the ruins of the Water Palace to your father, you should go to the Jiazi Room as soon as possible to read more books and see if you can improve your luck and make your life a little better," Liu Qian comforted him.

Liu Qian loved swordsmanship from a young age, but he knew nothing about martial arts.

Of course, Liu Qian's swordsmanship was also limited.

This led Liu Qian to focus more on swordsmanship and never delve into techniques related to movement.

He had only a superficial understanding of fortune-telling, but he recommended that Zhang Xuezhou take a look and see if he could learn something to improve his luck and stop being so unlucky.

"Thank you, Your Highness," Zhang Xuezhou said, bowing.

"But our royal family's benefits aren't free," Liu Qian warned. "If you make us dig the riverbank for nothing and find nothing, don't blame yourselves for being even worse off!"

"As long as that water palace can't fly away, it will definitely be there," Zhang Xuezhou assured him. "Besides, no matter how many books someone like me reads, it's just a sliver of hope. Even if I take advantage of Your Highness, it's nothing but fleeting smoke to you!"

"Oh, don't say that!"

Liu Qian warned Zhang Xuezhou, and then felt a little guilty, thinking that even if someone like Zhang Xuezhou gained a little more advantage, it wouldn't cause any real harm.

"I'll upgrade your privileges for the Class A room; you can stay there as long as you want!" Liu Qian said.

Knowing that Zhang Xuezhou would fall into a coma and become seriously ill in three days, Liu Qian decided to let Zhang Xuezhou stay in Room A, since it wouldn't exceed three days at most.

Liu Qian would not have been so polite to ordinary guest ministers or those who were not from the King of Huainan's Household, but Zhang Xuezhou did make him feel a little more compassion.

It was rare for him to have such emotions, ultimately because Zhang Xuezhou had been too tragic.

"Your Highness's arrangement is brilliant. It's much better to have Dongfang Shuo in the top-ranking room than to have people guarding him," Tian You exclaimed. "After all, he is, to some extent, an official of the Chang'an court, and he's carrying out official business!"

"So, what's the purpose of his official documents?"

After Zhang Xuezhou left, full of gratitude, Tian You then offered his congratulations to the Crown Prince.

Liu Qian couldn't help but wonder what official document task Zhang Xuezhou was carrying out.

"He's in such a state that he couldn't possibly take on any urgent or important missions," Tian You laughed. "Perhaps it's to explore various secret locations and cave abode, or recruit people to search for others, or even that the new emperor took pity on him and let him travel around before he dies!"

"In my twenty years of life, I have never seen anyone with such a tragic fate," Liu Qian sighed.

"That's true!"

Tian nodded.

In Liu Qian's eyes, Zhang Xuezhou was indeed too down on his luck.

However, Liu Qian was comparing himself to people of the same social class. Once Liu Qian looked down at them, he realized that Zhang Xuezhou was doing much better than many others.

The other party is neither the best nor the worst, and even getting into a Class A room is beyond the reach of 99% of people.

The Crown Prince can freely enter and exit the Class A Room, and he is also used to the top-level guest advisors entering and exiting the Class A Room. However, apart from the top guest advisors in each field, even Class A guest advisors need to wait for a long time or carry out a mission to enter the Class A Room.

Zhang Xuezhou's current treatment is almost equivalent to that of a first-class guest retainer, a level of good fortune that many second-, third-, and fourth-class guest retainers can only dream of.

"I'm afraid this guy's efforts will all be in vain again!"

Tian You responded to Crown Prince Liu Qian with a few words. He glanced at Zhang Xuezhou, who was walking away in the distance, and then put aside his pity for Zhang Xuezhou. Instead, he discussed with Crown Prince Liu Qian with great interest the arrangements for the Huai River Water Palace. He also talked about some of the legends of the Huai River Water Palace, and some of them even involved the ancient story of the Heavenly Emperor's tour of the Huai River Water Palace.

They were having a heated discussion in the side hall, while Zhang Xuezhou, holding a special Jia-class room token with no time limit, ran to Wenying Pavilion.

His body was in a recovery period after his Yang Soul was severed, so Zhang Xuezhou let his body slowly recover.

He also doesn't need to cultivate realm techniques, such as the technique with 108,000 acupoints, because he can't cultivate it due to the disorder in his body.

Zhang Xuezhou ultimately set his sights on the "A" type of housing.

He also wanted to see what kind of technique the King of Huainan had recommended, "Honglie," and why the King of Huainan had recommended so many top-ranking retainers to practice it.

If verified, the King of Huainan, after experiencing the struggle between one emperor and two kings, may have become a master of divination, which would have enabled him to open his doors to students so widely.
