Chapter 1071 -1071: The Great Divine Official’s Decision
Deng Kuang and Shui Jingyuan, upon seeing Lin Shen and Shi Zhongqing together, guessed what was going on.
After greeting them, Deng Kuang asked Lin Shen with a smile, “Has the Great Divine Official divined for you? What was the result?”
“It’s done, but I don’t know the result,” Lin Shen replied.
Upon hearing this, Deng Kuang turned to Shi Zhongqing and asked, “Great Divine Official, what did my brother ask, and what was the result?”
Shi Zhongqing smiled slightly, “This young brother of yours is fated with our Central Heaven Star Divine Palace, let him stay and work at the Central Heaven Star Divine Palace from now on.”
Upon hearing this, Deng Kuang was slightly startled and looked back and forth at Lin Shen and Shi Zhongqing with some surprise.
The Deng Family had some dealings with Great Divine Official Shi Zhongqing, but their relationship was not deep, at most it was just some business interactions.
Now, Deng Kuang was somewhat suspicious whether Lin Shen had any special relationship with Shi Zhongqing, and whether his method was merely securing Shi Zhongqing’s favor.
Otherwise, how could it be such a coincidence? Although Shi Zhongqing enjoys divination, his skills are really average, and privately Shi Zhongqing is known by a nickname ‘nine out of ten predictions are wrong’.
Usually, Shi Zhongqing would occasionally come here to perform divinations on open days, and now it isn’t an open day, so why would Shi Zhongqing come here to divine for Lin Shen? Clearly, things are not that simple.
“Being favored by the Great Divine Official is a fortune for Tian,” Deng Kuang took the opportunity to say.
If Shi Zhongqing is willing to intervene, the Everlasting Star Divine Palace would have to give some respect; Wu Qing wouldn’t reject Shi Zhongqing’s face just because of a suspicion.
But Shui Jingyuan hurriedly said, “Great Divine Official, Tian is an outstanding Divine Official of Everlasting Star Divine Palace; they might not let him go, we should consider this matter more carefully.”
Deng Kuang had mentioned Lin Shen’s situation to Shui Jingyuan earlier and thought that given their relationship, Shui Jingyuan would help out.
But, unexpectedly after hearing about it, Shui Jingyuan told Deng Kuang that this matter was very difficult and advised him to think of another way.
It’s not that Shui Jingyuan wouldn’t honor Deng Kuang’s friendship, but because Shui Jingyuan understood the situation of the Everlasting Star Divine Palace better than others.
After the disappearance of the Great Divine Official of Everlasting Star Divine Palace, Wu Qing became the Acting Great Divine Official.
Shui Jingyuan and Wu Qing joined the Divine Palace in the same year, they had a good relationship and had many clashes in competitions, essentially becoming friends through confrontation.
He knew Wu Qing very well; Wu Qing didn’t care about other people’s opinions, nor how others think.
He would want things clear and definite if he deemed them important.
Others might think Wu Qing is targeting Tian because of Wu Xiaoming’s issue.
But with Shui Jingyuan’s understanding of Wu Qing, he knew Wu Qing wouldn’t target Tian over Wu Xiaoming’s matters; there must be a serious reason why Tian is being targeted by Wu Qing.
Such a problematic person, if transferred to Central Heaven Star Divine Palace, would clearly be detrimental.
Thus, Shui Jingyuan had refused Deng Kuang from the start. Upon hearing what Shi Zhongqing said, he quickly spoke out to interfere.
He wanted to block the matter first, and then explain the situation to Shi Zhongqing privately later.
Shi Zhongqing had been a Great Divine Official in the Star God Palace for so many years and could be said to be the oldest and longest-serving among the current six Great Divine Officials.
Moreover, Shi Zhongqing is known for his good temper, carefully considering any objections raised by his subordinates, unlike other Great Divine Officials who are often indifferent.
Shui Jingyuan thought that by saying this, Shi Zhongqing would surely understand his intention.
However, today seemed somewhat different. Shi Zhongqing said with a smile, “It should be said that Tian’s arrival at our Central Heaven Star Divine Palace is our fortune.”
“Great Divine Official…” Shui Jingyuan was startled by these words, thinking that Shi Zhongqing had not heard him clearly and wanted to reiterate his point.
But Shi Zhongqing interrupted Shui Jingyuan: “Jingyuan, isn’t there still a vacancy for the Pavilion Master at the Star Constellation Hall? Once Tian has been transferred here, let him take over the Star Constellation Hall.”
Upon hearing this, not only did Shui Jingyuan’s expression drastically change, but even Deng Kuang, who usually had a sullen look, showed a look of astonishment.
Deng Kuang had been inwardly cursing Shui Jingyuan’s ancestors moments ago when he heard him speak like that.
Given his relationship with Shui Jingyuan, it was one thing for Shui Jingyuan not to help, but another to actively obstruct him.
If this were not the Star Divine Palace, Deng Kuang would have wanted to draw his sword and duel with Shui Jingyuan.
But now, hearing Shi Zhongqing’s words, Deng Kuang was genuinely startled.
What place is the Star Constellation Hall? Even Deng Kuang, who is not a Star Divine Official, knows that the Star Constellation Hall is where the Great Divine Officials communicate with the Celestial Court Emperor.
Each of the Six Great Star Palaces has a Star Constellation Hall, and the Pavilion Masters of past generations were strong contenders for the position of Great Divine Official, with many eventually taking on the role.
Shi Zhongqing actually suggesting that Lin Shen take over the Star Constellation Hall was tantamount to naming him as his successor.
This had really scared Deng Kuang, and Shui Jingyuan was even more terrified, his emotions completely out of control.
“Great Divine Official… that must not…” At this point, Shui Jingyuan could no longer think of any gentle terms to use.
If a problematic Star Divine Official became head of the Star Constellation Hall, any issues could turn Central Heaven Star Divine Palace into a laughingstock and might even lead to unimaginable disasters.
Shi Zhongqing was very unusual today and did not let Shui Jingyuan continue speaking, waving his hand to interrupt him: “I have already decided on this matter, there is no need for further discussion. Go and start the process now, bring Tian over from the Everlasting Star Divine Palace as soon as possible.”
With the discussion having reached this point, Shui Jingyuan knew he could say no more.
In the presence of others, if he were to continue speaking, it would be an act of defiance against the Great Divine Official.
Shui Jingyuan could only agree for the moment, planning to discuss the situation privately with Shi Zhongqing after Deng Kuang and Lin Shen had left.
Deng Kuang and Lin Shen were beyond thrilled, with Deng Kuang having thought the matter was hopeless but unexpectedly took a turn for the better.
With Shi Zhongqing’s intervention, not only could Lin Shen be transferred, but he might even become the Pavilion Master of the Star Constellation Hall, the very cradle of Great Divine Officials.
Thinking of Lin Shen potentially becoming a Great Divine Official in the future, Deng Kuang was happy for him, and also somewhat surprised, wondering about the relationship between Lin Shen and Shi Zhongqing for him to treat Lin Shen in such a manner. freewёbnoνel.com
“Tian, you return first to the Everlasting Star Divine Palace and follow the normal procedures; otherwise, it would be improper. Rest assured, whether the Everlasting Star Divine Palace agrees or not, I am determined to have you transferred, and no one can stop that,” Shi Zhongqing’s words stunned everyone who heard them.
The usually gentle Shi Zhongqing promising so much to an outsider made Shui Jingyuan start to wonder if he hadn’t fully woken up yet today.
