Jingzhe and Gu Yu were a little anxious, not understanding why Shen Miao would trust this Daoist priest so much.

The Daoist priest chuckled and picked up the other slip. He glanced at Shen Miao and stroked his beard as usual. Then, he slowly said, “The purple aura comes from the east, an auspicious sign. It’s the best of the slips.”

Jingzhe and Gu Yu were originally afraid that the Daoist priest would say something inauspicious again. It was almost the end of the year, and everyone was afraid to hear unlucky things lest bad luck befell them. Seeing him say that, they heaved a sigh of relief. However, Jingzhe mocked him relentlessly, “I knew he was a liar. One slip bad luck and the other slip good luck. Then which is true?”

“Both are true,” the Daoist priest said. “If you don’t believe me, ask your miss if I’m lying.”

Shen Miao’s heart skipped a beat and she said, “Jingzhe, Gu Yu, go over there. I have something to say to the Daoist priest in private.”

Jingzhe wanted to say something. She felt that this Daoist priest was a charlatan. However, Gu Yu pulled her to the side, making room for Shen Miao and the Daoist priest to talk undisrupted.

Shen Miao frowned at the Daoist priest. “Daoist priest, do you know something?”

As the Daoist priest put the slips into the bamboo tube, he said without looking up, “From reading your face, I can tell you are someone with a noble status. You should have a glorious life. Unfortunately… your fate was changed.”

Shen Miao said, “What do you mean by my fate being changed?” Her voice betrayed anxiety.

The Daoist priest stopped what he was doing and looked at her. “Your fate is very strange. There will be a great tribulation in your life. After this tribulation, your life will be smooth-sailing. However, the first slip you drew says that you can’t overcome the tribulation.”

“What’s my tribulation?” Shen Miao asked.

“A real phoenix and a fake phoenix. The fake phoenix stole the luck and fortune of the real phoenix, and the real phoenix was caged.”

Shen Miao felt that her heart was about to jump out of her throat. Could it be that she was the real phoenix? As for the fake phoenix, could it be Consort Mei? Consort Mei gave birth to Fu Sheng, and Fu Xiuyi liked Fu Sheng dearly. In her previous life, Fu Ming died, and so did she. Fu Xiuyi must have made Consort Mei the empress. With Fu Xiuyi’s favoritism towards Fu Sheng, he might pass the throne to Fu Sheng.

Didn’t this mean that her fate had been snatched away?

Shen Miao said, “Daoist priest, you’re talking about the first slip. Then, in the second slip, did I overcome the tribulation?”

“You alone can’t.” The Daoist priest shook his head and said, “But you are lucky to have the help of a benefactor in your life.”

“Benefactor?” Shen Miao asked, “Who is my benefactor?”

“This benefactor is fated with you. He’s the ferocious dragon, and you are the caged phoenix. He can free you. If you meet this person and rely on him, you can rectify your fate.”

Shen Miao asked, “Where is this benefactor? How can I find him?”

The Daoist priest smiled. “He’s around you.”

Shen Miao knew that the Daoist priest didn’t intend to be explicit about it. She asked, “There’s another question. Normally, people can only draw one slip, but why do I have two? Is this also fate?”

Ever since her rebirth, every time she thought about living her life all over again, she felt that it was unreal. She was afraid that one day, when she woke up, she would still be in the lonely cold palace. All of this was just a dream. Since what this strange Daoist priest said was accurate, he might know something.

“The two slips you drew are asked for by someone.”
