Chapter 1072 -1072 Shi Zhongqing

Lin Shen felt very strange in his heart. Why would Shi Zhongqing, the Great Divine Official, take such good care of him? Could it be that there was some scheme waiting for him?

Lin Shen’s experience told him that there are no free lunches in heaven, nor is there love without a reason.

The first time meeting the Great Divine Official, who showed such great goodwill towards him without reason, Lin Shen felt there must be something going on.

“Second Brother Deng, are you so well acquainted with Shi Zhongqing, the Great Divine Official?” Lin Shen couldn’t understand what Shi Zhongqing was after, thinking that Shi Zhongqing was connected with Deng Kuang.

Deng Kuang was taken aback by the question: “Isn’t it you who has a relationship with Shi Zhongqing? You said you had a way, I thought your way was to seek out Shi Zhongqing.”

Deng Kuang then realized something seemed off: “Don’t you have a connection with Shi Zhongqing, the Great Divine Official?”

“I met him for the first time. Before you guys arrived, I didn’t even know he was Shi Zhongqing, the Great Divine Official,” Lin Shen explained.

“Something is wrong, this situation is peculiar,” Deng Kuang said with a frown: “When Shi Zhongqing was young, he had a very fiery temper, intolerant of the slightest fault in others. Anyone violating the Celestial Court’s laws would receive the heaviest punishment without any leniency, not even sparing his own friends and family. Back then, he was nicknamed Living Yama.”

“However, these are all things I heard from the older generation. By the time I could remember, Shi Zhongqing’s personality had already changed, he became very amiable and generally didn’t handle many affairs, letting things slide in matters that were not too detrimental, often turning a blind eye or even muddling through. It seems unlikely for him to offend the Everlasting Star Divine Palace because of you. There must be some reason behind it. Please recount in detail everything about your meeting with Shi Zhongqing, the more detailed the better,” requested Deng Kuang.

As Lin Shen recalled, he recounted in detail his encounter with Shi Zhongqing, filling in all the details he could think of.

After hearing it, Deng Kuang pondered and said: “You mentioned that when Shi Zhongqing was divining your fortune, the copper coins wouldn’t fall out of the turtle shell?”

“I don’t know if he used any techniques or if it was intentional, but indeed, the coins did not fall out after several shakes. At that time, I found it strange, thinking the Copper Coin Divination Method of the Star God Palace might be different from ours,” Lin Shen said.

“It seems the problem lies here. I’ve never heard of such a thing as coins not falling out. Going by the normal situation, maybe Shi Zhongqing already knew you and wanted to bring you into the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace, using divination as a method and excuse,” Deng Kuang paused, then continued: “Shi Zhongqing, after getting old, took up divination as a hobby, yet his divinations were usually inaccurate, with a nickname of ‘nine wrongs in ten divinations.’ Even he probably doesn’t believe his own divination results.”

“Then why would he do this? Is it targeted at me, or at the Deng Family?” Lin Shen pondered aloud.

“Hard to say, Shi Zhongqing is an enigmatic person, but there’s definitely something amiss,” Deng Kuang stated: “The south region is a tiger’s den, Central Heaven is a dragon pool; this is a tricky situation.”

“Regardless, I can’t stay in the South Star Divine Palace anymore. No matter what Shi Zhongqing intends to do, since he’s willing to facilitate my transfer here, I might as well come. Let’s see how it goes, it’s certainly better than sitting and waiting for doom in the south,” Lin Shen decided to move to the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace.

Even if Shi Zhongqing intended to do something to him, in the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace, he still had the Jade Emperor to rely on, which was definitely better than being in the south.

“That’s better,” Deng Kuang also felt it was better to come here, at least the Deng Family wielded some influence in the Central Heaven Star Region.

In case anything happened, they could still lend a hand; in the south region, the Deng Family truly had no sway.

While Lin Shen and Deng Kuang were discussing, Shui Jingyuan and Shi Zhongqing were also talking about this matter.

Shui Jingyuan recounted what he knew of the causes and consequences: “Great Divine Official, although Wu Qing is no gentleman, he is definitely not a petty person who uses his authority for personal revenge. His targeting of Tian indicates there must be some issue or dubious aspect with Tian. How can such a person come to our Central Heaven Star Divine Official and even become the head of Star Constellation Hall?”

Shi Zhongqing, after listening, did not seem surprised but merely smiled and said: “I am quite familiar with Tian’s situation, and he shouldn’t have any issues. Just as you said, given Wu Qing’s character, if Tian really had an issue, do you think Wu Qing would let him leave the Southern Star Divine Palace?”

Shui Jingyuan was slightly taken aback: “You do have a point. However, even if there’s no solid evidence yet, Wu Qing wouldn’t target him without cause; there must still be some doubts about him.”

“Whether he has issues or doubts, we must bring him over to us,” Shi Zhongqing said solemnly.

“Why?” Shui Jingyuan was very puzzled and didn’t understand what Shi Zhongqing saw in Lin Shen.

If it’s because of Deng Kuang’s face, Shui Jingyuan didn’t believe it, Shi Zhongqing wouldn’t do such a thing for a favor.

“This Tian is a naturally-born Great Divine Official,” Shi Zhongqing slowly said.

“A naturally-born Great Divine Official? What does that mean?” Shui Jingyuan looked at Shi Zhongqing, thinking he was joking.

He had never heard that the Great Divine Officials could be naturally-born.

After all, Great Divine Official is just a position, not some inherent talent; how could it be naturally-born. freeweɓnovel.cøm

Even if one is the descendant of a Great Divine Official, that doesn’t necessarily qualify them to become one.

“This matter cannot be disclosed, you just need to know that this person is very important to our Central Heaven Star Divine Palace. No matter what methods are used, we absolutely must bring him over from the Southern region,” Shi Zhongqing said calmly.

Lin Shen, following Shi Zhongqing’s instructions, first returned to the Southern Star Divine Palace, waiting for the transfer orders from Central Heaven Star Divine Palace.

Not long after he returned, he received a message from Liu Siming, urging him to rush to Azure Sky Realm.

Liu Siming was already somewhat impatient; he was determined to get the Qingyuan Grass.

As the Azure Sky Realm faced heavy losses, he planned to recover losses through Shenyuan Pills.

Left with no choice, Lin Shen headed to the Azure Sky Realm. As the transfer orders hadn’t arrived yet, he had to follow Liu Siming’s arrangements.

“Brother Tian, you’re finally back. How’s the task I entrusted to you?” Liu Siming no longer bothered to conceal his intentions, showing a blatantly profit-driven demeanor.

“This matter is difficult to handle.” Lin Shen did not give a definitive answer, planning to delay as long as possible. If the transfer order comes through, the matter would be dropped.

“Difficult it may be, but it must be done. The production line for Shenyuan Pills will be up soon, and we must secure the Qingyuan Grass; otherwise, both of us will face trouble. Brother, only you can help me with this. If you do me this favor, I’ll keep my word as promised: immediate promotion to a Six-Star Divine Official, and the initiation of the research project. In no more than half a year, I guarantee you will become a Seven-Star Divine Official,” Liu Siming employed both threats and incentives, using every technique at his disposal.
