Xie Lian tightened his fists, his breath slightly erratic.
One sentence.
It sounded so unbelievable, even ridiculous, yet he couldn’t manage a smile.
The national teacher said, “Aside from these monsters, there’s also something else. Crown Prince, do you remember how shocked I was when you brought that child you rescued from beneath the city tower to the Emperor’s Pavilion?”
“…”
Xie Lian immediately focused, glancing quickly at Hua Cheng, and asked, “I remember. What happened to that child? You said he was…”
The national teacher replied solemnly, “The Celestial Star of Misfortune!”
He continued, “At that time, I sensed a heavy evil aura surrounding that child, something far from ordinary. Later, when I compared notes at Copper Furnace with three others, I discovered that Copper Furnace not only produces monsters but also has the power to cast curses.
Just as you can scatter your own fortune, it can unleash the calamities it has stored, causing them to roam freely. “That child’s birth chart was exceptionally ominous.
If it brings good fortune, it will be sky-shattering; if it brings misfortune, it will pierce through the earth.
It seems that on the day he was born, he absorbed all those scattered misfortunes, which made him so fearsome.
