Transmigrated To Another World: General, I'm Not Your White Moonlight - Chapter 349

Chapter 349: Meeting You Xiaocheng
Zhan Wenmin then recalled Chi Xiyou’s words and added, “Young Master Chi asked me to tell you not to worry about them. They appear to have worked in the Ministry of Works, teaching the ministers and artisans there how to create the designs you had previously provided to His Majesty.”

Duan Yixin nodded after listening to Zhan Wenmin’s explanation and sat down. When the maidservants served breakfast, Xuan Ruiquan said, “Xin’er, after breakfast, we can go to the Star Pavilion.”

“All right.”

Listening to their conversation, Xie Yanghui touched his chin and asked curiously, “Xin’er, why do you want to see You Tai Shi?”

Since Xie Yanghui had already asked the same question twice, Duan Yixin decided to tell her father briefly.

“Someone told me to go find him. The man said that only You Xiaocheng could help me solve my problem.”

After hearing Duan Yixin’s answer, Xie Yanghui frowned slightly. Her answer was too vague, and Xie Yanghui knew his daughter must have her reasons for hiding this from him. Thinking that his daughter was already an adult, Xie Yanghui didn’t ask any more questions and decided to believe her.

“I understand. Then you should bring some gifts when you visit You Tai Shi. Father will ask Lao Zhan to prepare gifts. You can take them with you later.”

Hearing this, Duan Yixin breathed a sigh of relief because her father did not ask for details. She smiled and nodded, “Yes, Father.”

After breakfast, Duan Yixin and Xuan Ruiquan left Xie Guogong’s Mansion with gifts and headed to the Star Pavilion.

When they arrived at the Star Pavilion, the morning lecture had just ended. Seeing the horse carriage bearing the emblem of Yan Junwang stopped in front of the main gate, the two disciples who were guarding the gate stepped forward and clasped their hands together.

They bowed slightly and said, “I have met Yan Junwang.”

After they said that, Xuan Ruiquan got out of the carriage and then helped Duan Yixin down. The two disciples glanced at her and quickly stepped aside to let them in.

When the disciples who had just finished the morning lecture saw Xuan Ruiquan, they all stepped aside and saluted him. After walking for more than thirty minutes, Xuan Ruiquan and Duan Yixin arrived at the lecture hall. Seeing them coming, a teacher came over.

The teacher clasped his hand and said, “Wangye, the Pavilion Master is already waiting for you. Please come with me.”

Xuan Ruiquan nodded to the teacher and followed him to the lecture hall’s backyard. Ten minutes later, the teacher stopped and said, “Wangye, the Pavilion Master is in the garden.”

Xuan Ruiquan thanked the teacher and walked through the circular doorway with Duan Yixin. When they walked out of the long path, Duan Yixin saw a handsome man wearing black clothes sitting in a pavilion in the distance. The man was playing chess alone, exuding a trace of familiarity.

Seeing her staring at the man, Xuan Ruiquan said, “That man is You Xiaocheng. He is twenty-two years old this year, but he has become the patriarch of the You clan since he was sixteen years old. He knows a lot of things, and you can just ask him what you want to know.”

Duan Yixin nodded, and the two of them walked up to You Xiaocheng. Before they could greet him, You Xiaocheng placed a white chess piece on the Go board and said, “You are finally here.”

Hearing this, Duan Yixin and Xuan Ruiquan exchanged glances. She looked at You Xiaocheng again and said calmly, “Thank you, You Tai Shi, for agreeing to meet me today.”

You Xiaocheng raised his eyes from the Go board and looked at Duan Yixin. After a while, he looked at Xuan Ruiquan and said, “Wangye, please leave first. I need to talk to this young lady alone.”

Xuan Ruiquan hesitated when he heard You Xiaocheng’s words, but Duan Yixin nodded to him and said, “I will be fine.”

He looked at her for a few seconds and said, “Call me if you need anything.”

“All right.”

Xuan Ruiquan then turned to look at You Xiaocheng and said, “I will be back in twenty minutes.”

You Xiaocheng said nothing as he looked at the Go board intently. Seeing that he was still acting as weird as usual, Xuan Ruiquan said to Duan Yixin, “Then I will wait for you outside.”

“Mhm.”

After Xuan Ruiquan left, You Xiaocheng said calmly, “Young Lady, please take a seat.”

Duan Yixin sat in front of him and then said politely, “You Tai Shi, I came to see you to ask you a question.”

You Xiaocheng looked at her and nodded, “I know. Do you want to know what he wants you to do?”

Duan Yixin was surprised to hear his question and asked, “Do you know who he is?”

You Xiaocheng nodded, “Yes.”

“Can you tell me who he is and how to change my future?” Duan Yixin asked again.

You Xiaocheng stared at her for a while and said, “You will know who he is when the time is right. As for the answer to your question, it depends on your decision.”

Duan Yixin pondered about his words and asked, “You mean– the future will change depending on my actions?”

You Xiaocheng poured her a cup of tea and placed it in front of her.

He nodded and explained to her, “Everything in this world is based on equal-value trade. Even the law of heaven needs to abide by this rule. If you want to get what you want, you need to sacrifice something of equal value.”

After hearing what he said, Duan Yixin fell into deep thought. After a long silence, she asked, “What should I sacrifice to change the future?”

You Xiaocheng formed a complicated hand seal and a small golden formation appeared in the air in front of him. Then he said, “Young Lady, please let me see your hands.”

Duan Yixin raised her right hand and showed it to him.
