Chapter 20

Wu Zetian was stunned, hesitated for a moment, and picked up the book again.

She hadn't seen whether Yu Yu Youwei had other schemes yet.

"Burn the book after confirming Yu Yu Youwei's identity."

Wu Zetian thought to herself.

"Hmph! Just as I expected, this Yu Yu Youwei indeed has problems."

"Actually a remnant of the Western Chu?"

"Two consecutive assassinations related to Western Chu, could it just be a coincidence?"

"The king's city raises the flag of surrender, how would the concubine in the deep palace know? Fourteen thousand men all disarm, not one is a man."

"Good poem, good literary talent, profound artistic conception, endless aftertaste."

"This Yu Yu Youwei, sigh, a pitiful person of a fallen nation."

Reading this passage, Wu Zetian couldn't help but sigh long and hard.

A mournful poem told of the desolation of the fall of Western Chu.

It also made Yu Yu Youwei's image more three-dimensional, evoking pity.

Now the problem was.

Should she continue reading?

Wu Zetian became conflicted again.

Read it.

This Su Chen comparing her to a big orange cat is truly hateful.

Don't read it.

She was very curious about the subsequent plot.

As a remnant of Western Chu, what would be Yu Yu Youwei's fate?

Were there conspiracies behind the two consecutive assassinations related to Western Chu?

If these questions weren't cleared up.

She was afraid she wouldn't sleep well tonight.

Then... she would read it after all.

Wu Zetian turned around, deliberately avoiding Shangguan Wan'er's gaze.

Turning another page.

The brand-new content appeared before her eyes, making her mood instantly brighten.

"The Persimmon actually let Yu Yu Youwei go?"

"Who is he taking Yu Yu Youwei to see?"

With one doubt after another, Wu Zetian quickly read through the remaining content.

"Truly a good book, the plot is interconnected, Yu Yu Youwei has a mastermind behind her."

Wu Zetian closed the book, showing satisfaction.

The design of the plot didn't disappoint her in the end, and it was very enjoyable to read.

But what drove her crazy was.

After reading this chapter, she was even more expectant of the subsequent plot.

"Your Majesty, should the 'Snow Sword Stride' books be sent over in the future?"

Shangguan Wan'er saw Wu Huang finish reading the whole chapter and was unsure of Wu Zetian's mind.

Wu Zetian didn't speak, only waved her hand with her back to Shangguan Wan'er.

Shangguan Wan'er was stunned.

What does this mean?

"That... your subordinate understands."

Shangguan Wan'er hesitated for a moment, not daring to ask further.

"I'd better prepare the books and act according to the situation then."

Shangguan Wan'er muttered to herself.

On the other side.

Great Qin Dynasty.

Xianyang City, Imperial Palace, Star Gazing Hall.

This was the exclusive territory of the Great Qin's protector mage, the Moon God.

Back then, Qin Shi Huang Ying Zheng spent a fortune to build it, specifically for divining star patterns.

The Moon God did not disappoint Ying Zheng either.

Her Yin-Yang astrology was very precise, allowing the Qin army to seize the initiative in every major battle.

Eventually swallowing the six states, taking Baiyue in the south, resisting the Xiongnu in the north, making all nations fear them.

At this time, the Moon God was on the star-gazing platform at the top of the Star Gazing Hall as usual.

Observing the stars, escorting the national destiny of Great Qin.

"Reporting to Master Moon God, the Yin-Yang School's Great Commander requests an audience."

A disciple of the Star Gazing Hall stepped forward to report.

The Moon God looked into the void and said faintly: "Let her come over."

A moment later.

The Great Commander walked in and said respectfully: "Greetings Moon God, a secret order from Lord Lord Donghuang."

The Moon God nodded and put away the secret order with black patterns.

According to common sense, the Great Commander should have left.

But she still stood in the same place, looking like she wanted to say something but stopped.

The Moon God lowered her eyelids and said plainly: "Is there anything else?"

The Great Commander hesitated and said: "Has the Moon God ever read 'Snow Sword Stride'? Written by a Great Ming storyteller."

The Moon God shook her head: "I don't have the habit of reading such books."

The Great Commander said: "The Moon God can go take a look, this book seems to mention the Moon God."

"Oh?"

The Moon God's willow eyebrows arched slightly.

The Great Commander said: "I happen to have a complete book here, would the Moon God like to take a look?"

The Moon God said: "Then leave it."

The Great Commander smiled, put down the book, and left contentedly.

The Moon God first opened the black-patterned secret scroll and read it with a calm expression.

The star-gazing work was already complete.

Lord Donghuang's secret order had nothing special.

The Moon God suddenly became free.

Sweeping with the corner of her eye, the "Snow Sword Stride" book left by the Great Commander appeared in her field of vision.

"Then I'll read it."

The Moon God, thinking of finding something to do, opened the book.

Soon, she saw Su Chen listing beauties of various countries in the miscellaneous section.

Among them, the Great Qin's Moon God was prominently listed.

"Interesting."

A brilliant light appeared in the Moon God's eyes.

Knowing the affairs of the six states.

This was not something an ordinary storyteller could do.

Her right hand held the book, while her left hand casually formed seals in the void.

Yin-Yang power flowed between her fingers.

This was the technique of Yin-Yang astrology.

She wanted to see what Su Chen's background was.

However, as time went on, the Moon God's expression gradually became grave.

She actually couldn't calculate it.

"How is this possible?"

The Moon God showed an incredible look.

Her Yin-Yang astrology was peerless in the world, and the entire Yin-Yang School only lost to Lord Donghuang and Dongjun.

Even for major national events like the destiny of the mountains and rivers, she could see a vague future through the stars.

And this Su Chen, calculating to the end, was just a void.

No past, no future.

"This person is not simple."

The Moon God's expression became grave.

She closed the book and walked step by step into a magic circle in the center of the star-gazing platform.

This was the Yin-Yang Seven Star Array, which could enhance the power of her astrology.

She didn't believe she couldn't calculate Su Chen's background.

As the Yin-Yang astrology was performed, the Seven Star Array also erupted with infinite starlight.

Before the Moon God's eyes appeared a phantom celestial phenomenon.

"Still can't calculate it?"

An hour later, the Moon God looked at the chaotic celestial phenomenon and was completely shocked.

This was something she had never encountered since she learned astrology.

"On this Su Chen, there is great terror."

"I wonder if Lord Lord Donghuang's astrology can calculate his background."

The Moon God murmured again.

In her heart, she had already decided that the next time she returned to the Yin-Yang School, she would report this matter about Su Chen.

In this world, there must never be anyone that the Yin-Yang School cannot calculate.

Great Sui Dynasty.

Yin Gui School, top of Forget-Love Cliff.

Yin Empress Zhu Zhu Yuyan stood at the top of the cliff, the moonlight fading, making her look like a queen in the dark night.

"Seeing Wanwan pays respects to Master."

Just then, a slightly playful voice came from behind.

"You came in the middle of the night, is there something?"

Zhu Zhu Yuyan turned around and looked at her favorite disciple.

Seeing Wanwan looked only sixteen or seventeen, her appearance seven parts similar to hers, equally peerless.

"Reporting to Master, Seeing Wanwan wants to go down the mountain early."

Seeing Wanwan said, blinking her bright big eyes.

Although she didn't practice any seduction techniques, she was naturally charming, and a casual glance could make men in the world go crazy.

"Go down the mountain early?"

"There has long been an agreement between the righteous and the demonic, you know that."

"What is the reason for going down the mountain early?"

Zhu Zhu Yuyan asked, frowning.

"The disciple is curious about a storyteller named Su Chen, and wants to go to Seven Heroes Town in the Great Ming to see him."

Seeing Wanwan said with a smile, flipping her palm to take out a book.

On the front page was written the two words "Snow Sword Stride".
