Chapter 1220 – Go All the way

Perhaps, even Ning Xiaolou himself did not realize, that he himself waerson with a lot of faith in his own fate.

At that time, Qiu Mayi’s words were just like a knife that had been carved into his heart. It was unknown just how many times he had slept for the night because of this sentence, how many books had he torn to shreds, and how many vases had he smashed to pieces.

However, Ning Xiaolou realized that he was a very fortunate person. At least, the person Qiu Mayi spoke of had arrived, and he was firmly grasping onto this person step by step.

It was just a blessing.

Ning Xiaolou stood at the window and raised his arms. Xiao Jiu helped him by tidying up his clothes carefully. This was an extremely luxurious monarch attire, with the five clawed golden dragon pattern on it, making Ning Xiaolou look extremely noble.

“I am Bai Shengjun.”

Ning Xiaolou stood there and looked into the distance.

“Do you know what I want to do the most?”

he asked.

Xiao Jiu smiled without revealing his teeth. A beautiful woman like her would always leave herself in a beautiful state at all times. She knew what her most beautiful side looked like. She looked at herself in the mirror for a long time every day just so that she wouldn’t have any flaws in front of Ning Xiaolou.

“Qiu Mayi.”

She replied with three words.

“Call him in. Help me see how the banquet preparation is going.” After all, that nobleman was of great use to me. For today’s banquet, I must let him feel like he is the main character. ”

“Yes.”

Xiao Jiu suddenly had a bad premonition. She wanted to say a few words of persuasion, but she discovered that the feeling disappeared in a flash. She herself did not know what she was worried about, so she was unable to advise him against it. She bowed slightly, using the most standard way to show her figure, then turned and left. The moment she turned around, Ning Xiaolou slapped her buttocks.

Xiao Jiu’s heart tightened... Because she had suddenly discovered what her worries were. Ning Xiaolou had lost control of himself today.

He was the lofty Bai Shengjun, a synonym for morals and righteousness. How could sucerson do such vulgar actions? This was enough to say that Ning Xiaolou was very nervous, or... Very excited.

When Qiu Mayi came in, Ning Xiaolou was sitting upright on a chair, looking very dignified and imposing. But Qiu Mayi did not care, because he was someone who had served two generations of Bai Shengjun, the old Your Majesty’s imposing manner was ten times stronger than Ning Xiaolou.

“Your Majesty, what are you looking for me for?”

Qiu Mayi asked. Although he still felt that Ning Xiaolou was the child he held in his arms before, he still respected him a lot on the surface. Back then, when he was drinking and chatting with the old Your Majesty, Ning Xiaolou was still a toddler who was wearing open pants as he hobbled around the courtyard learning how to walk.

“Uncle Qiu.”

Ning Xiaolou stood up, walked over quickly and pulled Qiu Mayi’s hand, pulling him to sit on a chair. This made Qiu Mayi extremely uncomfortable. He had already forgotten how long it had been since Ning Xiaolou had called him Uncle Qiu. But precisely because of these three words, all of the memories that Qiu Mayi had hidden within his heart were hooked up. He thought back to that time when he had carried Ning Xiaolou to the river bank to watch geese play with water. He then searched for the biggest fallen leaf in the forest and chased after it, following the footprints left behind by the rabbit in the snow.

Qiu Mayi felt mixed emotions in his heart, and in a blink of an eye, so many years had passed.

“Your Majesty …”

He was actually feeling choked up, and did not know what to say. The three words’ Uncle Qiu ‘stabbed into the soft spot in his heart.

“Don’t call me Your Majesty. When there are no outsiders, you should just call me Lou.” I remember when my father was busy with government affairs, most of the time I would go to your Sky-Surveillance Division to mess with you. He didn’t know how many things he had broken and how many things he had destroyed. “I remember that I liked to grab your sleeve at that time, and I argued that I would follow you wherever you went.”

Ning Xiaolou laughed, that smile seemed to have returned to when he was three or four years old, simple and pure.

“That’s right …” At that time, you loved to stick to me. Time is truly the scariest thing in this world. Unknowingly, I have already aged, and the Your Majesty has already become the ruler of tens of thousands of miles of this world. Your Majesty has done very well, if your father were to see it, he would also be very satisfied. ”

“Uncle Qiu has been helping me all these years.”

Ning Xiaolou poured a cup of tea for Qiu Mayi, and after he sat down, he laughed: “I remember that time, I was still sparing mouse poop in Uncle Qiu’s tea …”

Qiu Mayi started laughing, laughing from head to toe, the traces of time on his face seemed to relax quite a bit. It had been too long since he last chatted with Ning Xiaolou like this. He still remembered that Ning Xiaolou liked to sit on his lap and listen to his story and pester him to ask him what those stars in the sky were called.

“That’s right. I took a sip and thought someone had poisoned my tea and wanted to kill me.”

Qiu Mayi laughed as he wiped the tears that had welled up in his eyes. He subconsciously raised his hand to rub Ning Xiaolou’s head, but Ning Xiaolou subconsciously dodged away, the harmony that he had painstakingly built just a moment ago disappeared, as Qiu Mayi’s extended hand stiffened in mid air and Ning Xiaolou’s body stiffened in a position of leaning back. The two of them felt extremely awkward.

“This subject has forgotten, Your Majesty is no longer that child from back then.”

Qiu Mayi retracted his hand, cupped his fist and bowed his head.

Ning Xiaolou suddenly felt a bit of hatred for himself. Because of this subconscious action of his, the distance that he had spent so much effort to close in on earlier instantly increased to ten thousand and eight hundred kilometers. Because of Qiu Mayi’s prophecy to him, the intelligent Ning Xiaolou hated Qiu Mayi to the core. If he did not really need Qiu Mayi to help him maintain the authority of the dynasty, would have long ago chopped him into pieces, and cut him intundred pieces. No, ten thousand, a hundred thousand.

When the awkward smile froze on his face, the awkwardness would increase exponentially.

“Uncle Qiu misunderstands.”

Ning Xiaolou extended both his hands at the same time to grab onto Qiu Mayi’s cupped fists, wanting to use the heat in his palms to open up the other party’s chest. However, when he held Qiu Mayi’s hand, he realized that the cold thing wasn’t Qiu Mayi’s hand, but his.

He let go of her hand. After a moment of silence, he decided to say it out loud. It would only make things more and more awkward if he continued acting hypocritically.

“Uncle Qiu, do you remember what my father told you before he passed away?”

“How could I not remember? Before Old Your Majesty left, he held my hand and said that I will leave the small house to you from now on. He said that this kid, Lou Lou, was proud but weak, too ambitious and weak, so let me remind you to do things steadily and not think about things that are beyond your control. All these years, this subject has never dared to forget the words of the old Your Majesty, and I shall always remind him. ”

Ning Xiaolou’s eyes flashed with killing intent, and quickly disappeared.

Arrogant but lacking in ability, arrogant and weak … This sentence was likhorn that stabbed into his heart, also piercing his self-esteem.

“Hehehe …” “Father sees everything clearly.”

Ning Xiaolou lowered his head and said that, but his hands had clenched into fists, causing his heart to become even colder.

Qiu Mayi did not care about all this at all, and continued to patiently teach his descendants, “This subject has been in the Skylink Division for all these years, and has never dared to forget the words of the old Your Majesty. Fortunately, I finally found that noble person, and in the next ten years, Your Majesty will soar to the heavens.”

“Ten years?”

Ning Xiaolou lowered his head and looked at his beautiful and clean hands.

“Seems … a bit short.”

“Not short, not short, ten years …” Within ten years, if the Your Majesty made no mistakes, he would be able to stabilize his position first and if he was lucky, he would be able to suppress the Nine Saint Sect. The people of the Buddhist Sect have arrived, and this is a better start. If the Buddhist Sect and Golden Crown can be grasped by the Your Majesty, then even if the Your Majesty’s luck starts to decline after ten years, it will still not have much of an impact. Of course, the precondition is … ”

He paused, and the rest of his words seemed difficult to say.

Ning Xiaolou forced out a smile, “Just speak your mind if Uncle Qiu has anything to say.”

Qiu Mayi made a sound of acknowledgement. He truly treated Ning Xiaolou as his own nephew, so he didn’t have much scruples when he spoke.

“Your Majesty, all these years, I have been trying hard to break through my brain to break all those obstacles on the path of Your Majesty, but... I’ve worked hard for so many years, and yet, I’ve discovered that the stars are already fated, and the path of destiny is unbreakable. The luck path of the Your Majesty, had a noble person to accompany him for ten years, if there was no noble person, it would very quickly decline. I tried my best to change the stars, but I couldn’t do it. ”

He sighed, completely unaware that Ning Xiaolou’s complexion had become even more pale.

“It wasn’t until a while ago that I finally realized why I was obsessed with Your Majesty alone. The mountains in Bai Shengjun are not yours, but the Ning Family’s. After thinking about this, I immediately changed my way of thinking and method. After deduction and observation, I confirmed that as long as Your Majesty had a son within ten years and passed the position of Bai Shengjun to his son, he would be supporting me from behind the scenes. Although the new Lord is young, with the help of some loyal people like me and the Your Majesty who you love and care for, his path of fortune will naturally be clear. ”

He laughed, and the wrinkles on his face widened.

“Uncle Qiu, drink some tea.”

Ning Xiaolou brought out the teacup with trembling hands and handed it to Qiu Mayi, the veins on the back of his hand were already taut.

“Alright.”

In the end, Qiu Mayi took a sip of the tea and became more excited the more he spoke.

“Children of the Your Majesty, better be born in July …”

“Uncle Qiu, wait a moment.”

Ning Xiaolou suddenly interrupted him as his hand stopped right in front of Qiu Mayi’s face, as if he was holding onto a sword that had already left its sheath.

“Uncle Qiu, I’m still young.”

“But …” The path of luck was unbreakable. For the generations of Bai Shengjun, the Your Majesty … ”

“Uncle Qiu!”

Ning Xiaolou interrupted Qiu Mayi once again. He sat up straight and crossed his legs.

“Uncle Qiu, I invited you here to ask ….” Since you can give me ten years of luck, then … You must have a way to place this noble’s path directly on me. That way, will I be able to extend it? For example … Is there any way to merge this person’s Fated Star into my Fated Star? ”

“Impossible.”

Qiu Mayi waved his hand: “Your Majesty is too ignorant … How can stars melt into other stars? Everyone’s Fated Stars were their own, so it was also their luck. This is the so called Destiny shall be like this, no one can take another’s path of fortune. ”

“Is there nothing I can do?”

“Nope.”

Qiu Mayi said seriously: “Even if there is, it’s still a trick.”

“Oh …” In other words, there is still a chance. ”

“No, at least I don’t know how.”

“Then what do I need you for?”

Ning Xiaolou stood up, and his face was frighteningly white. And upon hearing these words, Qiu Mayi’s entire body stiffened, and his hands began to tremble.

“Your Majesty, what do you mean?”

“Uncle Qiu …” When I was young, I pestered you the most. I sneaked into your Sky-monitor division time and time again and broke quite a few things, wrecking quite a few of your problems … At that time, you never blamed me. I know you treated me like your own child. Even if I put a mouse shit in your tea, you would just laugh it off. ”

He patted Qiu Mayi’s shoulder and said, “The tea leaves you drank just now were full of rat poop, but … Poison. If you are willing to help me, I can dispel this poison. If you really don’t want to … “Uncle Qiu, have a safe trip.”
