Both Love Divination
At this moment, Evan Xiao asked, "Mr. Jun Lionhead, do you know Emperor Henry of the Vermilion Kingdom?"
Jun Lionhead shook his head, "I've been living in seclusion in the mountains. How could I possibly know the emperor?"
"But the emperor knows you! He even wants you to come down from the mountain and serve as the national physician," Evan Xiao said.
"Is that so?" Jun Lionhead focused for a moment, then shook his head, "Maybe he's someone I once saved? I'm not sure."
"Sir, when we get to Yan City, how about I take you to meet him?"
Jun Lionhead smiled faintly, "Why not? If I really did save the Emperor of the Vermilion Kingdom, I suppose that's fate."
......
After dinner, Jun Lionhead said he needed to pack his things.
Grace felt a little guilty and didn't dare look at Evan Xiao. She grabbed the bowls, ready to wash them.
But a large hand reached out and pressed down on those poor bowls.
"What's wrong?" Grace asked, giving him an innocent, radiant smile.
"Back then, you said the reason Mr. Jun Lionhead accepted you as a disciple was because Emperor Henry put in a good word for you?"
Grace blinked her big eyes and said nothing.
"But it seems your master isn't actually close to the emperor. He doesn't even know who Henry is."
"...It's true the emperor told me to come and become his disciple, but whether he really spoke to my master, I don't know. I was just guessing back then..."
"Your guess was wrong. So why did he accept you, a total stranger, as his disciple?"
"Uh..." Grace rolled her eyes. "Do you remember what he said the first time we met? He said he did a divination... He saw that a disciple would come to seek him out, so he accepted me."
"A divination?"
"Yeah, that's exactly what he said."
Evan Xiao thought about it, and realized it was true: "You two really are suited to be master and disciple."
"What do you mean?"
"Everyone loves divination."
Grace: "..."
When the three of them left, Prince Zane Tuoba was still wandering around in the bamboo forest.
Separated by the magical barrier, he couldn't see the three of them, but they could see him.
Prince Zane Tuoba was clearly frustrated. He grabbed his attendant and slapped him twice, cursing, "Useless! Didn't you say you were an expert at breaking barriers? We've been wandering here all night and half the morning, and we're still going in circles..."
......
When they arrived in Yan City, Evan Xiao took Jun Lionhead to meet Henry Tuoba.
Just as Jun Lionhead had said, the reason Henry Tuoba knew about him was because he had once saved the emperor's life.
Back then, Henry Tuoba was still a child, suffering from a terminal illness that no physician could cure.
The old emperor even took him to the Spirit Alliance in the Eastern Luo Empire, but even they were powerless.
On their way back, they happened to run into Jun Lionhead.
Jun Lionhead took Henry Tuoba to the bamboo forest and cured his illness.
At that time, the former emperor was afraid his identity would be revealed, so he didn't tell Jun Lionhead who he was.
In her previous life, when Henry Tuoba grew up, he personally visited Jun Lionhead on the mountain several times and finally invited him down.
He also introduced Grace as his disciple.
In this life, the test he gave was indeed deliberately biased toward Evan Xiao.
He knew that Grace knew the way up the mountain...
Sure enough, Jun Lionhead was invited down from the mountain.
Henry Tuoba appointed him as National Physician and gifted him the Full Moon Manor on the outskirts of the city.
In her previous life, Jun Lionhead also lived there.
......
Just like that, Evan Xiao became Grand Marshal of the Vermilion Kingdom, commanding a million spirit cavalry, five thousand flying cavalry, and five thousand navy troops.
At the same time, Henry Tuoba granted him a Grand Marshal's estate equivalent to a first-rank prince, along with fertile land, spirit jade, gold, silver, and numerous servants.
Loyalty Manor.
Lu Xin and Butler Qin helped Evan Xiao pack his things.
He was about to move into the Grand Marshal's estate.
Grace sat in the guest courtyard's garden, feeling a little reluctant.
It was so nice having Evan Xiao live in their house! Grace could go find him anytime, and they were together every day.
If he moved out, things would go back to how they were before.
