The Princess Consort Has A Lethal Destiny

Chapter 894: All Beautiful Charlatans are Liars

When Xiao Yurong heard that, he immediately nodded. “Senior Sister has been like this all along. I can’t tell if it’s true or not. On the day of the Ghost Festival, I saw Senior Sister performed a ritual and summon the wind and rain with my own eyes. At that time, there was a strong wind and a gloomy atmosphere. The place I saw was not like the mortal world… I know you are worried about Junior Brother Sang, but maybe Senior Sister is really capable.”

Xiao Yurong thought of what he had seen at that time and thought it was amazing.

Jiang Jinlu sneered. “We have the ability to summon rain and wind as well.”

Xiao Yurong was stunned.

Did they?

“You and I have been learning from our teacher for a long time and we have read many agricultural books. There are also many things written by our predecessors about the solar terms and the weather. By observing the flowers, trees, birds and insects, we can also tell when the wind and rain will come, right?”

Xiao Yurong was enlightened. “That’s right. Hearing what you said, Senior Sister probably checked the weather in advance…”

“That must be the case. Otherwise, wouldn’t Senior Sister become an immortal? Our teacher is only a scholar, not even a saint. How could Senior Sister advance one step ahead of our teacher?” Jiang Jinlu’s words were very reasonable.

Xiao Yurong had been troubled by the matter of Xie Qiao summoning the wind and rain for the past few days.

He could not figure it out every time. He did not know how his senior sister did it.

Now that he said it, he also thought the reason made sense.

However…

“Junior Brother, I have one more thing…” Xiao Yurong took out a talisman secretly, “This is the Academic Excellence Talisman. It was inscribed by Senior Sister. I have many. It seems to be really useful. Whenever I am exhausted and don’t know what to write, if I put this thing around, I will write endlessly…”

Jiang Jinlu found it even more funny and almost laughed out loud.

If Xiao Yurong was not his senior brother, he would have hit his head to see if it was rotten!

“Senior Brother Xiao, are you confused?” Jiang Jinlu looked at Xiao Yurong with his baby face and sighed deeply, he said with his baby voice again, “You are a quick-witted scholar. There was no such thing in the past. Aren’t you only writing articles and poems? It is clearly your own ability. Why do you praise the good use of this talisman?”

It was incomprehensible!

Even someone as powerful as senior brother could be fooled by such a tiny thing. All the charlatans in the world were equally good at deceiving people, and their senior sister was one of the best!

“But… I have tried not to use this talisman a few times. My thoughts are indeed more scattered than when I wasn’t using it…” Xiao Yurong was very conflicted.

“Senior Brother just felt uneasy and couldn’t concentrate when you don’t use it after believing in it. In the past, without Senior Sister’s talisman, wasn’t Eldest Senior Brother’s writing still good?” Jiang Jinlu was very anxious. He thought he had to persuade Senior Brother Xiao back to the right path. “Senior Brother, it’s not right for you to rely on these foreign subjects for a long time. If Teacher knew about it, I’m afraid he would also think that it’s inappropriate.”

Xiao Yurong felt a little guilty. In the eyes of their teacher, one had to be down-to-earth in order to study and enter the academy. He had done very well over the years.

However, ever since he bought his senior sister’s Academic Excellence Talismans, he thought it was indeed wrong to rely on her.

Xiao Yurong had been a teacher for three to four years, but he had never been less humble in his heart.

At this moment, he was deeply ashamed when he heard Jiang Jinlu’s words. “Junior Brother is right. I will try my best to restrain myself from using talismans in the future..”
