"Ask about marriage fate."

With a faint smile, Wang Junze casually replied.

He came here to avoid attracting attention, naturally not interested in asking anything for real, so he pretended to be a regular nobleman and asked casually.

"Please draw a divination."

The old monk's expression remained unchanged, only pointing at the divination tube beside him, indicating for Wang Junze to draw a divination.

As his gaze fell on it, Wang Junze noticed that these divinations seemed to emit a faint Spiritual Qi, making it impossible to cheat by using Divine Thought to see the text on the divinations.

However, Lingyin Temple is ultimately a place of the Buddhist Sect, having some hidden tricks is not surprising.

Wang Junze didn't speak, and casually picked a divination.

Turning it over, Wang Junze saw the text on the divination.

"Obstacles and dangers aplenty, laden with water and mud, crossing mountains; hoping for affairs in foreign lands, traversing a thousand mountains and rivers without return."

Momentarily startled, Wang Junze, though not a member of the Buddhist Sect, knew from the text alone that it was definitely a worst-case divination.

He had casually picked a divination and didn't believe in it at all, yet he ended up with a worst-case divination, still making Wang Junze somewhat surprised.

Because the divination's words indeed matched his current situation.

"Do you need a divination interpretation, benefactor?"

The old monk glanced at the divination and asked again.

"No need!"

Shaking his head, Wang Junze directly refused.

He knew quite well how difficult and dangerous his task was, something that a so-called worst-case divination couldn't describe, much less offer an interpretation or a solution from the void.

"Thank you, Master!"

With a smile, Wang Junze took out ten Spirit Stones and placed them on the table, then turned to leave the side hall.

However, Wang Junze did not know that just after he left the side hall, the divination on the table suddenly shattered!

This was not due to any trickery by Wang Junze but because the divination shattered by itself.

"The karmic divination actually shattered... How much karma is involved in this?! But why is the Sword Path Genius from the Profound Moon Sword Sect entangled with our temple in karma?"

Looking at the shattered divination before him, the old monk slightly furrowed his brow and murmured softly.

"Master Benyin, why are you here?"

In the next instant, a monk came over and couldn't help but ask, "Today, the Eldest Princess Ningyu is coming to offer incense. Others may not recognize you, but she certainly will. If it's discovered that you've quietly entered the Capital City, it could lead to trouble."

Benyin, one of the three Divine Monks of Xuankong Temple, holds a transcendent status far above the ordinary Saint Realm.

...

"The Eldest Princess Ningyu has arrived!"

Wang Junze naturally did not recognize Divine Monk Benyin; he didn't even sense a hint of Spiritual Qi from him and assumed he was just a regular monk, not thinking much of it.

Moreover, having just come out of the side hall, Wang Junze heard a commotion from the crowd, and his attention was quickly drawn to it.

In the distance, amidst the escort of dozens of Feather Army, a palace-clad beauty slowly made her way to the main hall, and people around her automatically made way.

This Eldest Princess' status is truly high. She is the current Majesty's most beloved sister, with a tranquil personality and an unworldly demeanor. No one wants to offend this Eldest Princess.

There is even a rumor that if you insult the current Majesty, he might laugh it off. But if anyone dares to speak ill of the Eldest Princess Ningyu, the Majesty would not hesitate to destroy your entire family!

Moments later, the people in the main hall voluntarily retreated, waiting patiently for the Princess to offer incense first.

With a slight twitch of his eyelids, Wang Junze realized that now was the best opportunity.

"Ru'er!"

Turning his palm slightly, Wang Junze instructed in a deep voice, "Send the hairpin over, tell the Princess that I am waiting for her in the side hall!"

Too many eyes are fixed on the main hall, making it unsuitable; rather retreat to the side hall and wait for Her Highness the Princess to come after clearing the area.

Of course, this naturally seems somewhat presumptuous, but Wang Junze believes that if Qu Lishang really holds such an important place in her heart, she will definitely come, and this is the safest way to meet.

"Brother, what are you doing?"

Hearing Wang Junze's words, Wang Xinren was dumbfounded. What was going on?!

She had been in the Capital City for a long time and knew that although this Eldest Princess Ningyu seemed very young, she was actually already over fifty years old and should have nothing to do with Wang Junze!

"I'll explain later!"

Waving his hand, Wang Junze answered softly.

As he spoke, Peng Ru had already taken the hairpin towards the main hall. Though stopped by the Feather Army, Peng Ru took out the hairpin, and after waiting only a moment, a maid came out and took Peng Ru into the hall.

Peng Ru, being a beautiful woman herself, appeared to others as either a palace maid or a young lady from some family, using this opportunity to seek an audience with the Eldest Princess Ningyu, naturally wouldn't stir any attention.

"Successful!"

Seeing Peng Ru enter smoothly, Wang Junze understood that the situation was likely secure.

Silently retreating to the side hall, Wang Junze also failed to notice that the old monk who had him draw the divination had already left.

Indeed, after waiting less than the time it takes for half a stick of incense to burn, a maid brought the Feather Army over to clear the side hall, merely glancing at Wang Junze and deliberately acting as if she hadn't seen him, leaving him behind.

Moments later, the Eldest Princess Ningyu slowly stepped into the side hall, leaving everyone but one trusted Female Official outside.

"Who are you, and why do you have My phoenix hairpin?"

One could feel the Eldest Princess Ningyu's tension, but even so, her voice remained supremely tranquil, like a gentle stream flowing.

Only at this moment did Wang Junze truly see her appearance.

Time had left no mark on this Princess. Her face still appeared to be only around thirty years old, extremely beautiful, and her demeanor was something Wang Junze had never seen before; not to exaggerate, but even Luo Qingxuan or Su Yuwei seemed slightly overshadowed by her charisma.

Wang Junze didn't rush to respond, instead directing his gaze to the Female Official beside her.

Seeing through Wang Junze's thought at once, the Eldest Princess Ningyu explained softly, "I conceal nothing from her about My matters, so you can speak freely."

Upon hearing this, Wang Junze finally slightly bowed, saluting the Eldest Princess with deep voice, "Wang Junze of the Profound Moon Sword Sect, paying respects to Your Highness the Princess!"

Without waiting for her inquiry, Wang Junze immediately explained, "Junior has just returned from the Nether Sea, and this phoenix hairpin was entrusted to me by Uncle Qu Lishang for the Princess. Uncle Qu is now trapped in the Nether Sea, severely injured, so he sent me to the Capital City to request a Creation Golden Lotus from Your Highness the Princess!"
