Chapter 197: Chapter 197
Observing Feng Qiwu’s calm demeanor, Witch Doctor Gu He’s thoughts were racing, and he had already made up his mind.
At this moment, if he didn’t make an effort to please him and join them, it would be difficult to find such an opportunity once Feng Qiwu fully grew into power.
Thus, Witch Doctor Gu He quickly spoke to Feng Qiwu earnestly, "Crown Prince, I willingly acknowledge you as my lord; may I humbly ask if you would accept me?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Quanzi and others were stunned.
Did they hear correctly?
This guy actually chose to become one of the Crown Prince’s men voluntarily?
Could there be some trick involved?
While they were pondering this, Feng Qiwu glanced at Witch Doctor Gu He and then asked leisurely, "Give me a reason to accept you."
He’s not so easily fooled. ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novelꜰire.net
Witch Doctor Gu He had long anticipated that Feng Qiwu would doubt his sudden loyalty.
After a moment of inner turmoil, he chose to reveal the true reason for his submission over lying.
Thus, he bit his lip and said to Feng Qiwu, "Because you are likely the chosen one in this world; following you in practice could allow me to bask in your fortune, which might be greatly beneficial for me."
This statement took Feng Qiwu by surprise.
This concept was intriguing.
But how could someone so unlucky as him be favored by the heavens as the chosen one?
Narrowing his eyes, Feng Qiwu replied flatly to Witch Doctor Gu He, "If that’s the reason, you’ll likely be disappointed."
"I could never be the chosen one."
At least he had never felt the favor of heaven towards him.
Upon hearing Feng Qiwu’s denial, Witch Doctor Gu He urgently said, "That’s impossible! You must be the chosen one, otherwise, how could so many highly talented subordinates gather around you? Moreover, how could you easily discover a rich Star Stone Mine in this star power-deprived world..."
These are all solid proofs.
Listening to Witch Doctor Gu He’s theory, Feng Qiwu calmly looked at him and said, "That’s because I never keep useless people around me; only the most outstanding talents are qualified to stay by my side, and the discovery of the Star Stone Mine was just coincidence."
Seeing Feng Qiwu’s disbelief, Witch Doctor Gu He became anxious, "How could there be so many coincidences? According to your standards, there are many Royal Family members cultivated, but how is it that only people around you naturally aggregate talent?"
After saying this, he quickly glanced at Feng Qiwu, whose destiny was so bright it blinded him, and cautiously yet enviously said, "You might not be aware, but your fortune is so overwhelming that it’s nearly transforming into a dragon. If this doesn’t count as being the chosen one, then I truly can’t think of who else could be."
Feng Qiwu listened and finally opened his eyes to seriously regard Witch Doctor Gu He, "You possess the art of observing fortune?"
"I wouldn’t call it the art of observing fortune; it’s simply a matter of often having to identify geographical features when traveling famous mountains and rivers to uncover hidden Treasure Medicine, so I have some knowledge in this area but wouldn’t call myself proficient."
He then reminded, "However, you should learn to conceal your aura quickly, or you’ll easily be discovered by those who excel in these matters."
Feng Qiwu pondered for a moment before nodding slightly.
Narrowing his eyes, he said, "Very well, in this case, I shall give you the opportunity to follow me."
Witch Doctor Gu He was immediately overjoyed, "Really?"
This was wonderful indeed.
Yet, if Bai Susu were here, she would surely tell him that the one with overwhelming fortune might be the protagonist of the world, but there’s also a significant chance of being the major villain destined to destroy heaven and earth!
