Chapter 64 Divination
Chapter 64: Divination

Yao Guangxiao was immediately startled, and looked at Ye Xuan in surprise and asked, "This is exactly my name, but I don't know how this gentleman knew it?"

At the same time, he couldn't help but look at Ye Xuan's appearance curiously, wondering if he had seen him somewhere before.

Otherwise, why could a Jinyiwei who had never met him reveal his identity in one go?

It couldn't be that the Jinyiwei were really as powerful as the rumors said, that they could know everything about even a little-known monk like me.

As for Ye Xuan, his expression was stunned for a moment.

My heart suddenly felt like ten thousand horses galloping through it, and I thought to myself, how many people don't know your name, Yao Guangxiao?

He is nicknamed the Black-robed Demon Monk and the number one troublemaker in the world.

According to records from previous lives, Yao Guangxiao, who assisted Zhu Di in seizing the throne, was definitely a troublemaker.

Firstly, Zhu Yunwen's accession to the throne was a legitimate succession ordered by Zhu Yuanzhang.

Yao Guangxiao, however, insisted on instigating his uncle to seize the throne from his nephew, causing Zhu Di to bear eternal infamy;
Secondly, ordinary people do this simply to obtain high positions and generous salaries after success, or to become a famous official and leave a good reputation for generations to come.

However, after Zhu Di conquered the world and was enjoying the fruits of victory, Yao Guangxiao disappeared inexplicably and did not take Zhu Di's high position and generous salary seriously at all.

But if it is for the sake of leaving a good reputation through the ages, I guess he himself knows that it is impossible for him to be remembered for a good reputation, and he will definitely be infamous for instigating his uncle to rebel against his nephew and openly disobeying the orders of his father Zhu Yuanzhang.

So from any perspective, Yao Guangxiao's instigation of Zhu Di to rebel was not for fame or profit, but simply for the sake of looking for trouble!
According to Ye Xuan's words, isn't this just wishing for chaos in the world?
Originally, the Ming Dynasty was peaceful and prosperous during the years when Zhu Yunwen came to power, and he was not a tyrant who had to be overthrown.

Yao Guangxiao seemed to have no desires or ambitions, so why did he have to join in the fun?

There is only one explanation, which is that he simply wants the world to be in chaos!
Faced with such a person, as a useless person who just wanted to give up, Ye Xuan naturally stayed away from him.

Facing Yao Guangxiao's question, Ye Xuan smiled awkwardly and evaded the question by saying, "I just heard from a friend that the master is a Buddhist master who is well versed in Buddhist principles. I won't bother you any more!"

He said that this was just a bow and prepared to leave.

However, when Ye Xuan called out Yao Guangxiao's real name, he became very interested in this Jinyiwei whom he met for the first time.

The Jinyiwei were notorious, and Yao Guangxiao had long recognized Ye Xuan's iconic Feiyu uniform and Embroidered Spring Sword.

Therefore, he said behind him: "Sir, please stay. I think you are definitely not an ordinary person. I wonder if I can tell you your fortune."

Ye Xuan didn't even turn his head, just waved his hand and refused as if he was avoiding the plague god: "I have never believed this, thank you for your kindness, Master."

Yao Guangxiao was a little dazed, then he stepped lightly and stopped Ye Xuan.

Yao Guangxiao smiled and said, "I won't charge you any money anyway, why not give it a try?"

Ye Xuan was helpless and wanted to refuse, but he was afraid that Yao Guangxiao would pester him endlessly.

He had no choice but to look in the direction of the main hall. Seeing that Anqing had not come out yet, he urged him, "Master, please hurry up. I have official business to attend to."

"Good good!"

Yao Guangxiao smiled, took out a tortoise shell and a few copper coins from his wide monk robe, and began to predict the future with his eyes closed.

A moment later, as Yao Guangxiao tipped the tortoise shell to the ground, several copper coins fell to the ground.

Yao Guangxiao looked at the copper coin seriously and stood up after a while.

Yao Guangxiao was shocked and looked at Ye Xuan without blinking. The astonishment in his eyes made people who didn't know think that Yao Guangxiao had seen something extraordinary.

Ye Xuan was a little frightened by his gaze, and couldn't help but ask, "Master, did you see anything?"

Seeing that Yao Guangxiao was still looking at him without saying anything, Ye Xuan couldn't help but start to wonder.

There are records in unofficial history that say Yao Guangxiao was like Zhuge Liang, with mysterious divination abilities and the ability to know the past and the future.

Could it be that Yao Guangxiao really saw something in himself?

He couldn't help but ask with a little curiosity: "Could it be that I have encountered some disaster? Master, just tell me, it's okay."

Yao Guangxiao then stopped looking at it in wonder and said with a look of surprise, "From the hexagram, it can be seen that the donor has a promising future and will surely be extremely wealthy in the future!"

"But if you want this wealth to come true, the donor still needs..."

"Stop, stop, stop," Ye Xuan hurriedly stopped Yao Guangxiao from speaking, and said indifferently, "I am a clean-handed person, and I am satisfied as long as I can do something for the people. A bright future and great wealth are nothing but clouds to me."

Just kidding, if Yao Guangxiao said that he was about to encounter some disaster or something, maybe people would listen to his nonsense for the sake of unofficial history.

But since there was nothing to do, Ye Xuan was too lazy to continue listening.

Anyway, I am not interested in a bright future at all. Being a high-ranking official in the Hongwu Dynasty?

Isn't that just asking for death?
If it were during the reign of Zhu Di, and Yao Guangxiao said this to me, I might have been tempted.

But now?
Forget it. I just want to be a small centurion and drink wine, play with Nianwei and tease the maids, and I will be satisfied.

If I could go out and rob a house occasionally, my life would be perfect.

Yao Guangxiao was just about to say what he really wanted to say after "still need...", but he was stopped by Ye Xuan immediately. The words were stuck in his throat and his face turned red.

According to his experience of traveling around the world, no one could resist the temptation of the first half and could not help wanting to hear what Yao Guangxiao needed to do in the second half.

Most people would believe it when they get here.

And once you believe, you will do what he says.

But in Ye Xuan's case, no one gave him the chance to continue speaking.

After Ye Xuan finished his righteous words, he bowed to Yao Guangxiao and left without hesitation.

He didn't even say a polite word like "see you later", which confused Yao Guangxiao.

That's not right. The routine shouldn't be like this.

Shouldn't these Jinyiwei be most concerned about their official careers? Why did they just leave without asking any questions?

Have you really met a selfless person who only cares about the people and not himself?

Looking at Ye Xuan's leaving back, Yao Guangxiao was briefly shocked, and then an ambiguous smile appeared on the corner of his mouth.

"It seems that this gentleman is really not an ordinary person!"
