Chapter 540 The Phoenix's Fate
Ye Qing'an's hand, which was hidden in her sleeve, moved slightly, and her eyes widened: "I ran into Abbot Minghua by chance when I was on the street before. My father was there that time, and Abbot Minghua once read my fortune."
"What a coincidence?" The Crown Prince was somewhat surprised: "Abbot Minghua doesn't easily tell fortunes; it all depends on fate."
“Yes, Father said something similar.” Ye Qing’an blinked. “I thought Father was just teasing me at the time, but I didn’t expect it to be true.”
A hint of joy flashed in Ye Qing'an's eyes: "Abbot Minghua once said that I had many hardships in my childhood, but as long as I get through them, I will surely have good fortune in the future and my future will be bright and better."
Ye Qing'an laughed: "I didn't take it to heart before, but these recent events seem to confirm Abbot Minghua's prediction. However, since it was on the street, it wasn't a place to talk, and something seemed to have happened, so Abbot Minghua was in a hurry to deal with it and didn't say much. Now that I'm here, I wonder if I'll have a chance to have a proper chat with Abbot Minghua."
The two were talking quietly when they noticed a person standing under the eaves of a corridor not far away.
"Abbot." The young novice stopped and bowed to Abbot Minghua with his hands clasped together in a Buddhist gesture, then walked to the side.
"Your Highness." Abbot Minghua bowed, then looked at Ye Qing'an and said, "Benefactor Ye, we meet again."
“Abbot Minghua,” Ye Qing’an said hurriedly.
Abbot Minghua smiled and said, "When I first met Benefactor Ye, I felt that he was no ordinary person. Sure enough, not long after, I heard a lot of news about him and learned that he had become a Supreme Being, which confirms what I said back then."
"Actually, after meeting you last time, I always felt a little regretful. After all, I haven't seen such a good destiny in a long time. I really wanted to calculate it carefully, but I was always busy and could only postpone it again and again. Now that I have finally met Miss Ye, it is exactly what I wished for."
The Crown Prince stood to one side, his expression shifting slightly. He had previously heard Ye Qing'an mention that Abbot Minghua had told her fortune, but he had assumed it was just a casual reading out of respect for Prime Minister Ye and hadn't taken it too seriously. He hadn't expected Abbot Minghua to say such a thing.
It is not something that belongs to the pond.
I haven't seen such a good destiny in a long time.
The Crown Prince's eyes darted around, and he smiled, "Is Miss Ye's destiny truly exceptional? Just how exceptional? I'd very much like to see it for myself. I wonder if Miss Ye would grant me that opportunity?"
Ye Qing'an lowered her eyes, her ears turning slightly red: "Of course."
Abbot Minghua stood to the side, his gaze shifting between Ye Qing'an and the Crown Prince, a smile playing on his lips: "Your Highness, Benefactor Ye, this way please."
Upon entering the meditation room, everyone took their seats.
Abbot Minghua looked at Ye Qing'an and said, "Please extend your hand, Benefactor Ye."
Ye Qing'an quickly stretched out her hand.
Abbot Minghua raised his hand, and Buddhist characters suddenly appeared on it, glowing with white light as if they had entered Ye Qing'an's palm.
Ye Qing'an blinked, and then saw countless characters suddenly appear in her palm, floating in mid-air, spinning rapidly, and then combining and arranging themselves.
Abbot Minghua raised his eyes, glanced at the words, and his gaze gradually brightened: "Just as I thought."
"Huh?" Ye Qing'an looked completely bewildered. "As expected? What is the abbot talking about?"
Abbot Minghua's gaze fell on Ye Qing'an's face, his expression very solemn: "Benefactor Ye's destiny is one in a hundred years, it is the destiny of a phoenix."
“The phoenix rises from the ashes, reborn.” Abbot Minghua clasped his hands together: “Half a month ago, a phoenix’s rebirth was observed in the Siyou Kingdom. Many people thought it was a sign of the appearance of a supreme being, but in fact, it was and it wasn’t.”
"Those were signs of the appearance of the Supreme Being, but they did not indicate that the Supreme Being had been born. Whether it was the phoenix rising from the ashes that day or the subsequent hundred birds paying homage to the phoenix, it was all because of you."
The Crown Prince's gaze intensified; was it all because of Ye Qing'an?
"Simply because you are not only a Supreme Being, but also a Phoenix of Destiny. You are the first Supreme Being with the Phoenix of Destiny."
Ye Qing'an blinked, a hint of confusion in her eyes: "What...what does this mean?"
"It means that the fate of this world is determined by you."
"The fate of the world... is determined by me... by me?" Ye Qing'an's voice was filled with undisguised astonishment, as if she could hardly believe it.
"Yes, you were born to be the Phoenix Queen. The one you have chosen is the ruler of this world."
Ye Qing'an seemed somewhat panicked, unsure of where to put her hands: "How is this possible? This is too far-fetched!"
Whether you believe it or not, time will give us the answer.
Abbot Minghua smiled and said, "Like a phoenix rising from the ashes, you have been reborn. Your dantian was destroyed before, preventing you from cultivating and causing you endless suffering. Now your meridians have been rebuilt, and you have been reborn. From now on... it will be the time for you to soar through the heavens like a phoenix."
Ye Qing'an was somewhat at a loss: "But I don't want to become any kind of Empress, nor do I want any Phoenix destiny. I just want to protect the people I care about and my family, that's all."
“Fate is predetermined, and it’s not something you can decide whether you want to or not.” Abbot Minghua looked up at Ye Qing’an: “But rest assured, everything you wish for will come true, and everything you want to protect will be safe. After all, this is why you came here, and you are capable of doing it well.”
Ye Qing'an narrowed her eyes. Abbot Minghua's last words were not based on what she had told Yi Moxu the night before.
But for some reason, she felt that Abbot Minghua's last words were a bit strange.
It seems to have a deeper meaning.
The Crown Prince laughed: "I have indeed never heard of such a destiny before. It is indeed as the abbot said, an extremely auspicious destiny. I just wonder if the abbot has the time today to tell my fortune?"
Abbot Minghua smiled and said, "I am truly sorry, but I have already told His Highness the Crown Prince that I never perform divination for members of the royal family."
The Crown Prince laughed and said, "Alright, then I won't make things difficult for Abbot Minghua."
"Niankong, take these two distinguished guests to their private rooms to rest."
Ye Qing'an and the Crown Prince then stood up, bowed to Abbot Minghua, and left the meditation room.
Two young monks were already waiting at the door: "Your Highness, this way please."
"Benefactor Ye, this way please."
Once outside the meditation room, Ye Qing'an realized that it was getting dark.
The young novice monk led the two to their respective rooms before leaving.
Once inside the room, the attendant lowered his voice and asked the Crown Prince, "Your Highness, is what Abbot Minghua said about the Phoenix's Destiny true?"
