Chapter 47: The Great Prophet Duel

  As soon as they met, sparks of passion flew out of their eyes.

  "Ah, the two of you are really close, it seems I don't need to make an introduction after all!" Gris pretended not to know the rules between precogs. "The Ninth Prince is just up ahead on the road, but Master Ye, as a prince, he has to take care of the local officials' feelings, so later, the Ninth Prince will come back personally to apologize to you."

  As he spoke, he gave Gao Xingchen a glance and pulled Jiggs aside to exchange pleasantries.

  Ye Huan was not mistaken, from Su Tianhe's confession, he learned about Ye Huan's 'miracle', the shock in the heart of the Ninth Prince was beyond measure. But this time, recruiting a prophet was no trivial matter, what the Ninth Prince sought was the greatest prophet who could help him ascend to the throne. After the success, this prophet would also become the Black Robed State Master of the Canaan Empire! For this future identity, the Ninth Prince had to be extra cautious, so he spent a large sum of money to invite out Gu Yizhen, who had been in seclusion for many years.

  Gu Yan was self-sufficient and proud, and would not participate in the struggles between the various princes. However, helping the Ninth Prince with a small matter was still possible.

  "Ha ha!" Hearing Ye Huan say out her breakfast, a flash of astonishment flickered across Gao Xingchen's eyes. He had taken seven or eight minutes to guess what Ye Huan was wearing under her shirt, but Ye Huan had guessed his in just one second!

  "It's indeed a hero emerging in his youth! I heard from the Ninth Prince that you are a new prophet with immense potential, and now that I've seen you, the Ninth Prince was still too modest!"

  The Ninth Prince wouldn't be foolish enough to reveal what was going on between Su Tianhe and Ye Huan, so in Gu Xingchen's opinion, he had come to test the abilities of a newcomer. He smiled, "The Ninth Prince still needs some time, it seems Principal Jigges also wants to chat with General Geres for a while. Little Brother Ye, let's have a chat first?"

  "Sir has invited me, how can I refuse?" Ye Huan smiled and said: "What does sir want to know, please ask!"

  "Hmm, I know there are seven major schools of thought. Su Tianhe is from the Star River school, and I'm from the Brush Fairy school. Which one does Ye Xiao belong to?" Gu Yizhang looked quite pleased with Ye Huan's humble attitude. "If I'm not mistaken, you're also from the Star River school?"

  No!

  The lie has been spoken, and Ye Huan can only hold on to the end. "My divination technique comes from Brother Dan's blessing, and all schools of thought in the world are not enough to describe Brother Dan's greatness, so I created a school - Big Brother Dan's Glory Divination Technique!"

  "'Glory Divination Technique'? Gū Yī's face sank, 'Hmph, interesting. Now young people have some skills and dare to create their own school of thought. In the past, even hundreds of seniors didn't dare say such things! So, Ye Xiao, can you show me your Glory Divination Technique?'"

  It's already been said to this point, even little kids know what Gu Yizhou wants to do now. Ye Huan could only force a smile and cooperate: "Gu Lao Xiansheng is also a descendant of the Yan and Huang Emperors, naturally he knows that one move can't complete a chess game, haha, if the old sir is interested, we can study some divination techniques together!"

  "Alright, follow me!"

  Gu Xingchen strode into a small grove by the side of the road.

  ……

  "Lu Xiu, what are they talking about?" Seeing Ye Huan also walking into the small woods, Bai Xiaobai scratched his head in surprise, "When did Big Brother become a prophet? And this valley is one hand, he, he seems to be challenging Big Brother!"

  "Hey Bai Xiaobai, you don't know what's going on either?"

  Jiggs was speaking politely on the side, but his eyes kept glancing over here, "Hey, when did Ye Huan become a prophet? No way, I have to find him back, Gu Yizhang is notoriously known as the Black Prophet, and people often die during divination!"

  Bang!

  Gleis patted his shoulder from behind, "Principal, if they're interested, let them compare. This is also the meaning of the Ninth Prince, Ye Huan isn't even worthy of being the future Black Robe Nation Master if he can't even pass this level of Gu Valley!"

  Damn it, I'm not afraid of Gu Yi killing Ye Huan with one hand, but I'm afraid that mysterious power will take down Gu Yi!

  Jiggs swallowed his saliva and didn't dare to say the words in his heart, "Wait a minute, General, what did you just say? The Black Robe Country Master? The Ninth Prince intentionally wants Ye Huan... to become the future Country Master!?"

  "It's Ye Huan!" Gleis' eyes flashed with a hint of respect, "For the past 800 years since the founding of Canaan, behind every generation of emperors, there must be a great prophet standing. This has become an imperial tradition! If the Ninth Prince ascends to the throne in the future, he will naturally have such a person by his side as well. Principal, if one of your students becomes a Black Robe National Master who stands above all others, wouldn't you be invincible?"

  "Hehe, hehehe......"

  Jiggs smiled foolishly, his chubby fingers still fiddling with the abacus, "Last year I trained a great general and earned 40,000 to 50,000 in military pay, this year if I train a black-robed national teacher..."

  ……

  In the woods, Yu and Ye Huan stood face to face.

  However, it wasn't until Ye Huan walked in that he discovered Gu Yi had also prepared two large trunks, one blue and placed on the empty ground between the trees, and the other red, hung from a tens of meters high tree branch, blocking another patch of empty ground.

  "Yeh Xiao Ge, in order not to spoil the atmosphere, let's start with something simple?"

  "Look at these two trunks, one red and one blue. We'll each take one and walk 100 meters away from each other, back to back. Then we'll put an item of our choice in the trunk and try to guess what the other person has placed in their trunk. Whoever guesses correctly first wins!"

  "This is purely prophetic ability, no real skills, how could you possibly know what's inside the box hundreds of meters away!?"

  "Good idea!" A bead of cold sweat appeared on Ye Huan's forehead, but he stared at Gu Xingchen and smiled confidently. "Old sir, in order to show respect for your status, please choose the box first!"

  The box was brought by Gu Yi, who also let him choose first. Ye Huan had already shown enough confidence. Gu Yi looked at him for a while, nodded, and carried a blue box to the back of a large tree.

  Ye Huan picked up a red trunk and walked to the back of a big tree with her back facing outward.

  He opened the trunk, looked inside and found nothing, then he raised his head, closed his eyes to think for a moment, clanged, didn't put anything in, and carried the trunk back with an air of pretence.

  Soon, Gu Yi also came back with a box in his hand. He put the two boxes together and smiled: "Let's start divining!"

  "Old gentleman, you first!" Ye Huan made a nonchalant gesture. "I've already let you choose the box first, so I'll just let you have this round too. You go ahead and divine it!"

  "Ye Huan, what do you mean by this!" Gu Yizhang's face turned unpleasant. "The rules have already been stated, we're supposed to divine together. Now you're standing there, letting me start first - are you looking down on our Bi Xian sect?"

  "Hehe, old sir misunderstood me, what I meant was...". Ye Huan slowed down her speech, "Under the protection of Brother Dan, I have already finished divining!"

  "What?"

  Gu Yan's face changed color in shock, "I took the box, put things in it, and came back, all within tens of seconds, and you've already divined the result?" There was also a second half of the sentence that he didn't dare to say out loud. Moreover, when opening the box, he had even used some secret methods to prevent the other party from divining!

  "Old master doesn't believe?" Ye Huan's hand was placed on the lid of Gu Yi's box, "Then I'll tell you now, old master... nothing is packed!"

  Bang!

  The box was opened, and it was empty!

  "Brother!"

  "Ah, you, you really divined it?! This is impossible! Your physique is not suitable for being a prophet at all. Except for my hundreds of years of experience, you know nothing about divination techniques!"

  "But I'm a psychologist!" Ye Huan's heart was racing, almost jumping out of her chest. In hypnosis and psychology, there is an ability called personality simulation, which involves getting into the other person's mindset and guessing what they will do. Just now, Ye Huan had observed every small movement of Gu Yi's hands, simulating his state of mind, and that was how she guessed that he wasn't hiding anything!

  Moreover, the success rate of this kind of personality simulation is extremely low. Yehuan was able to guess it, more than 60% relying on luck!

  "Brother, you really scared me to death..." After hearing Ye Huan's explanation, Dan Dan immediately became worried. "You passed this test, but next time, Gu Yi will definitely want to compete with you in real skills. What will you do then?"

  As expected, the moment Ye Huan opened the box, Gu Yi's face turned pale. He was still preparing to make a divination, but the other party had already announced the result. This wasn't just failure, it was humiliation!

  "Hmph!" He sneered, suddenly smashing the box and a dozen or so small trinkets on his body to pieces. "Ye Huan, I had originally prepared many small things, thinking of slowly competing with you in ten or more rounds, but now, your divination skills are indeed extraordinary. No need to prepare small things for an apprentice, let's go straight to the most difficult... Soul Divination!"
