“Who’s the Harbinger?” Xiaobao asked, looking conflicted.
“It’s like the fated person who can help some rank nine powerhouses ascend into grand mastership,” answered Qi Qingyao as she rubbed between her brows. “Like someone who helps others gain enlightenment!”
Xiaobao opened his clear, pitch-black eyes, the corners of his mouth raised. He continued eating his roasted sweet potatoes as he said, “Mommy feels that she started off on the wrong foot, but still got to know the Head Grand Secretariat, the State Preceptor, and later on the young grand master Si Jin as well as the young master who is the richest man in Northern Liang. When you look at it this way, you didn’t start out badly. At most, you’re a late bloomer.”

A later bloomer? That made sense. “Does Xiaobao think I might be the Harbinger?”
Xiaobao licked the corner of his mouth. “If this Harbinger is very important to the rank nine powerhouses, then…it wouldn’t matter if you are or not. The important thing is that if they think you are, you would have become the heart of the vortex. You would either be abducted by one of the various powerhouses or be assassinated by grand masters from the other nations since they’d be afraid that the little empress would use you to cultivate more grand masters for Northern Liang.”
His words reminded her of something.
Qi Qingyao suddenly stood up and said, “I had thought at first that the Daming emperor had deliberately spread this rumor to get the Ghost Organization and the little empress to test me. After you said what you said, I realized that Daming’s emperor wants to burn bridges by taking drastic actions.
“He wanted someone to kill for him.
“Gongsun She informed him that Si Jin was not with me when he returned to his country. Upon receiving that news, spies from every nation must have taken action, especially those from Eastern Ling since they have lost Pang Juan and are definitely nursing a grudge—not to mention that the person who killed him is Si Jin. Considering Si Jin’s relationship with me…
“Now there’s the rumor about me being the Harbinger. Eastern Ling is trying to contain Northern Liang’s strength and will never let me live. There is also the mysterious Western Zhou who has been silent so far. I don’t know what they’re thinking—maybe they also sent a grand master over…
“As for the Ghost Organization, if I were used by the little empress to help her cultivate grand masters, it will also become the Ghost Organization’s worst nightmare. The Ghost Organization is also known as the Empire of the Dark Night, so naturally, they will not allow a superpower that surpasses other powerhouses to appear on the mainland. They would get rid of this bug that I am to maintain the balance!
“Huff—
“I feel like my life will always feel like I’m teetering off the edge of a cliff.”

Qi Qingyao paced around the main room. Her expression darkened suddenly upon analyzing the situation.
Xiaobao agreed seriously. “Yes.”
“…” Dabao and Erniu understood nothing. Looking at their mommy and Xiaobao’s expressions, the situation seemed to be very serious.
“Mommy, I don’t want you to die.” Not understanding, Dabao hugged Qi Qingyao tightly.
“I won’t die. We won’t die. I firmly believe that your Uncle Si Jin will appear during any critical moment!” Qi Qingyao said firmly, “In the time to come, you must hold onto Li Ruoxuan tightly!”
Li Ruoxuan was the only one they could hold onto now.
The triplets nodded cautiously.
The State Preceptor was a grand master now. Among their acquaintances in the capital, the State Preceptor was the strongest! In terms of power, his was the greatest!

Erniu tilted her head, trying very hard to wrap her head around the situation. It seemed that she had to cultivate diligently with her master. Otherwise, how could she protect her Mommy, Dabao, and Xiaobao in the future!
Qi Qingyao and the children had only just decided to remain in the State Preceptor’s residence for the rest of their lives when another edict arrived, beckoning Qi Qingyao to take it.
“F*ck, the edict arrived so fast!
“Sure enough, it’s from the empress. She receives information much sooner than any normal individual.”
‘It’s asking me to visit the palace again. I wonder if I’m going to get steamed, or fried, or even roasted…’
