Chapter 1156: Guoguo Changes His Name to Fengguo
After bidding farewell to Long Xiyuan and saying goodbye to Song Qingrui, Bai Zhi’er took Guoguo and others to witness Duke Huan’s execution.The harm to Chu Ping and the forced return of Guoguo never made Guoguo feel like family.
The death of Duke Huan finally allowed Guoguo to breathe a sigh of relief.
Bai Zhi’er thought that perhaps it was because, from now on, Guoguo knew he could truly live for himself.
Otherwise, as long as Duke Huan was alive, he would constantly remind him of having such a vile father in the world.
Fortunately, everything had settled.
Guoguo completely discarded his previous name.
He gave himself a new name, Feng Guo.
Bai Xingye teased him, "Aren’t you becoming the Marquis’s son now?"
Guoguo’s face darkened, "Can’t I be his younger brother?"
Feng Fuce usually scolded him, but through this experience, Guoguo discovered a truth.
Those who were not related to him by blood were less likely to betray him or push him to take the blame at crucial moments.
Some people, even his biological father, were willing to let him drift for many years, expecting him to sacrifice himself for the legitimate son.
At the end of October, they boarded a ship to return to Great Chu.
Long Xiyuan was very reluctant, repeatedly emphasizing that Bai Zhi’er should remember to come back and visit him.
Or, when he’s not busy next year, he could visit Great Chu for some leisure.
Bai Zhi’er readily agreed.
"Sure! Once you’re in Great Chu, I’ll host you."
Actually, she wasn’t quite sure herself.
If by then she inherits the Heavenly Dao, she would be even busier.
On the return journey by water, that night, the moonlight was clear and bright.
Bai Xingye and Feng Fuce gathered around Bai Zhi’er.
Bai Zhi’er was lying on the table, drawing.
Bai Xingye curiously watched for a long time, "Is sister drawing an immortal?"
In the portrait, this unfamiliar immortal sat cross-legged, his expression not kind but rather profound.
Bai Xingye felt slightly uneasy looking at it.
Bai Zhi’er nodded, "Yes, this god’s name is Star Lord Yuan Qing."
"Earlier, at Duke Huan Mansion, we discovered they all worshiped him, even in Prince Li Zheng’s cellar, those statues filled with gold and silver, were also of Star Lord Yuan Qing."
Although the matter of Prince Li Zheng has been resolved, why were the statues of Star Lord Yuan Qing carved so vividly?
Unless it was carved by someone who had seen him in person.
But Star Lord Yuan Qing, in the Heavenly Court, was responsible for matters unrelated to the mortal world.
Even if you worship him, he can’t protect the world, due to his responsibilities being different.
Moreover, in the mortal world, people prefer to worship well-known immortals, such as Yue Lao or the God of Wealth.
Star Lord Yuan Qing is obscure, so how did those people know of him?
Bai Zhi’er originally asked Long Xiyuan, but Long Xiyuan did not know.
He only knew that it was Prince Li Zheng who commissioned the statues, meaning the person commissioned by Prince Li Zheng must have seen Star Lord Yuan Qing.
Unfortunately, Prince Li Zheng committed suicide in prison before the execution.
Bai Zhi’er had no one to ask, so she decided to draw it.
"I’ll send it to my little uncle; he is well-connected in Jianghu. I’m curious what people seek from this Star Lord."
Bai Xingye didn’t think much of it, smiling lightly, "It’s nothing more than seeking wealth, peace, or longevity."
Bai Zhi’er nodded thoughtfully.
When someone worships and offers incense, an immortal’s mana can increase.
Because belief is a powerful force.
Bai Zhi’er speculated that perhaps Star Lord Yuan Qing wanted to increase his mana.
But for the specifics, she’ll have to investigate what people generally seek from worshiping the Star Lord.
