Chapter 516: Chapter 515: Unpredicted Prophet, Longevity Pill_1
“Coo coo.”
Understood, the message pigeon flapped its wings, circled around the small courtyard a few times, and set off in the direction of the Imperial Palace.
**
Serene Snow Pavilion.
The Noble Lord leaned against the window sill, draped in a ravishing crimson robe, stunning in every spectacle. His tear mole under the eye looked like a droplet of blood, bewitchingly fascinating.
Lin Qingluo eluded layers of guards and arrived in the moonlight.
As she approached the study, she glanced at his tear mole and her heart sank involuntarily.
Perhaps it was due to the Spirit Pill that the tear mole was redder than a year ago. His Charming Skill had improved, and his ability to bewitch the mind was even stronger.
“Miss Lin, please come in.”
The Noble Lord retreated a few steps, further away from the window.
“Where is Xuan’er?”
Like a wisp of blue smoke, Lin Qingluo drifted into the study.
“He’s asleep.”
The Noble Lord gently lifted his brows, hinting at countless emotions, “He’s tired from the long journey.”
Lin Qingluo did not feel like lingering, she got straight to the point: “Regarding the red mole on Xuan’er’s brow, what do you want to say?”
The Noble Lord’s eyes moved, a faint light flashing in them, “Miss Lin, do you know what special ability the Prince has awakened?”
Lin Qingluo replied honestly, “I’m not entirely sure, I would appreciate your enlightment.”
“With Miss Lin’s intelligence, you do not know?”
The Noble Lord chuckled, “Could it be that Miss Lin still doesn’t trust me and doesn’t want to continue cooperating with me?”
“Not at all, I genuinely don’t know.”
Lin Qingluo’s eyes were a touch cold, not wanting to argue with him.
“Miss Lin truly has a good temperament.”
The light in the Noble Lord’s eyes flickered, his breath slightly uneven.
He hadn’t expected her to be so aloof, and for a moment, he was at a loss for words.
Lin Qingluo did not wish to chat with him, her tone hardened, “Please be straightforward, Noble Lord, I do not have time to spare.”
“Cough cough.”
The Noble Lord coughed twice, his hand over his heart as if she had left him breathless.
Lin Qingluo waited in silence, her expression unchanged throughout, and avoiding his gaze.
The Noble Lord had no other choice, his mood for idle chat killed.
“The Prince’s awakened ability is the Wu Clan’s most mysterious inheritance, prophecy.”
As expected!
Lin Qingluo’s eyes darkened, her breath hitching momentarily.
“Prophecy allows one to foresee other people’s futures but not their own.”
The Noble Lord sighed quietly, “Moreover, he cannot reveal the secrets of fate. For every revelation, a year of his life will be lost.”
“Alas.”
Lin Qingluo sighed softly, “Have you told Xuan’er about this ability yet?”
“Not yet.”
The Noble Lord revealed a rare hint of desolation, “Such a heavy topic, I’ve not yet figured out how to tell him.”
“Xuan’er might be more intelligent than you give him credit for.”
Lin Qingluo felt melancholic, remembering the image of the Little Prince secretly wiping away tears in the stone cave behind a rockery, and her heart ached.
“You should tell him the truth, so he can prepare himself.”
Unwilling to admit defeat, the Noble Lord asked, “Miss Lin, you are skilled at pill refining, do you know if there is a Spirit Pill that can extend a person’s life?”
“Yes.”
Lin Qingluo did not hide the truth, “But, the process of refining is extremely difficult. The variety of Spirit Plants needed are numerous. Unless the person is a Cultivator with great fortune, it would be nearly impossible to gather all them.”
“Just because others can’t, doesn’t mean Miss Lin cannot.”
The Noble Lord chuckled lightly, his eyebrows raising with elegance.
“If there’s anyone in this world who can refine the Longevity Pill, it’s Miss Lin, who possesses the fortune of the heavens.”
“You’re giving me too much credit.”
Lin Qingluo bluntly brought him back to reality, “The Spirit Plants needed to refine the Longevity Pill are extremely rare in this world. Some are even treasures that have existed for tens of thousands of years. Do you think the heavens will just drop these Spirit Plants down from the sky?”
