Having not performed divination for a long time, he finally had the idea to perform one, but the result was an ominous hexagram.

Yu Jun's mood couldn't be worse.

He thought it was because he hadn't performed divination for a long time, so his level had dropped. So, he found another tortoise shell and performed divination again. The result was exactly the same, with no difference at all.

One hexagram being ominous could be called a coincidence, but two consecutive hexagrams being ominous, and the hexagram images being exactly the same.

This made Yu Jun's mood somewhat bad.

He carefully studied the hexagram image and finally discovered a clue.

That was, although the hexagram image was an unprecedentedly ominous one, there was still a trace of connection in the broken cracks that had not been broken, which meant that there was still a glimmer of life in the crisis.

Of course, whether one could grasp this glimmer of life was also a problem.

Yu Jun firmly remembered this matter in his heart, and then decisively summoned the people of the Shushan tribe.

Although things like hexagram images could only be used as a reference, sometimes, they could not be ignored.

"Grandpa!"

"Grandpa!"

"Great Elder!"

"Great Elder!"

"......"

One by one, the people of the Shushan tribe arrived one after another. A little girl riding on the back of a black leopard and wearing gorgeous clothes followed a dark-skinned boy to arrive here, and the two called out to Yu Jun one after another.

Yu Jun looked at the little girl and the boy and nodded gently.

Afterwards, the others also arrived here one after another and called out to the Great Elder.

After greeting, many Shushan people looked at the Great Elder at the same time, waiting for the Great Elder to speak.

Yu Jun said in a deep voice: "Not long ago, I performed two divinations one after another, and the hexagram images were both great ominous. Although I don't know what will happen, this matter must be guarded against. From today on, many Yuyuan guards will strengthen their vigilance to prevent accidents!"

"Yes!"

The people of the Shushan tribe had no objection to the Great Elder's words.

Determining the good or bad of things based solely on hexagram images seemed incredible, but the Shushan tribe had been playing like this for thousands of years, and everyone was used to it. Especially since the Great Elder was also a wizard, he had a high status in the hearts of the Shushan tribe people, and everyone believed his words without doubt.

After instructing the people of the tribe, many Shushan tribe people left one after another.

The little girl riding on the back of the black leopard also prepared to leave with her brother.

The Great Elder stopped her, "Zhong Ziqi, you can go first, but Xiao Yu must stay!"

"Ah?"

The little girl named Xiao Yu was stunned when she heard her grandfather call her name.

Beside her, her brother Yu Zhong Ziqi glanced at her, a playful look in his eyes, knowing that it must be his sister's playfulness that had been discovered by his grandfather, and his grandfather was preparing to scold her.

Of course, to prevent himself from being affected, he still honestly followed his grandfather's words and left first.

For a time, on this top of Shushan, only Yu Jun and the little girl riding on the back of the black leopard were left.

Xiao Yu also realized why her grandfather had left her alone, so she got off the back of the black leopard with a depressed expression, patted the head of the black leopard, and the black leopard left here with great spirituality.

"Grandpa......"

Xiao Yu looked up at her grandfather Yu Jun, her voice soft, deliberately acting like a spoiled child, hoping that her grandfather would let her off.

Unexpectedly, Yu Jun did not scold her but asked her a question, "Xiao Yu, do you know why I named you Xiao Yu?"

Xiao Yu was a bit curious about why her grandfather would ask such a question, but she still answered, "Yu is small rain. Mother told me that on the day I was born, a hazy drizzle was falling from the sky!"

"Yes, a hazy drizzle." Yu Jun sighed: "In the ancient books of my Shushan tribe, the earliest origin of my tribe also originated from a hazy drizzle. The drizzle fell to the human world, turned into a scorched land, Shi Lan was born, and then emitted bursts of fragrance. Since then, the name of my tribe was changed to the Shi Lan tribe."

"When you were born, I suddenly thought of this scene recorded in the ancient books, so I named you Xiao Yu!"

"And Yu, besides the meaning of small rain, is also our surname, and it also represents—Yuyuan!"

As soon as the two words "Yuyuan" came out, Xiao Yu's expression became serious.

Although she was not old, whether it was her grandfather's admonitions since she was a child or what her parents had told her, she understood the mission of her tribe: to serve the Divine Tree Fusang and then guard the Yuyuan seal to prevent problems in Yuyuan.

"There are some things I haven't told you. Now, it's fine to tell you."

"You have a special constitution. Among the holy maidens of my Shushan tribe through the ages, there are very few who possess your constitution. If you are willing to practice witchcraft diligently, you can reach a very high realm, and perhaps you can carry that power."

"So, Xiao Yu, don't blame Grandpa for scolding you for playing, it's really because your aptitude should not be wasted!"

"Grandpa......" Xiao Yu said softly. It was the first time she had heard these things from her grandfather, and at the same time, she was a bit curious, "Grandpa, what is that power you mentioned?"

"My Shushan tribe has guarded Yuyuan for generations. In order to prevent the things in Yuyuan from coming out and harming the human world, we naturally have corresponding means to deal with the crisis. That power is......"

He was about to answer Xiao Yu's question when suddenly, as if he had sensed something, he looked in a certain direction.

Yu Jun looked in that direction for a long time, and finally, determined that he might have become suspicious because he had performed two ominous divinations one after another, he withdrew his gaze and continued to say to Xiao Yu: "The legacy power of the Nine Heavens Mysterious Maiden...... This power can only be carried by women through the ages. But even from ancient times to the present, in the Shushan tribe, there are very few who can carry it. In this generation, I hope you can do it."

Xiao Yu heard her grandfather's hope for her.

A serious look also appeared on her small face, "Grandpa, don't worry, I will not let you down!"

Yu Jun nodded.

Because there were two consecutive ominous hexagrams, he took the initiative to say these things after seeing Xiao Yu. Originally, these words should not have been said to Xiao Yu. At least, Xiao Yu was still too young now, and it was too early to tell her these things.

But earlier, when he was halfway through his words, was the faint breath he sensed really an illusion?

Yu Jun began to ponder again.
