Jing Qing’s phrase, “part the clouds to see the moon,” struck a chord deep in Xiao Churan’s heart.
All those past doubts—Ye Chen never spoke of them, and she couldn’t bring herself to pry. With no third party to clarify, she buried her questions deep within, sometimes even consoling herself with Ye Chen’s own logic.
But this phrase, “part the clouds to see the moon,” was like a thunderbolt piercing through heavy fog, stirring her long-suppressed curiosity.
So, with earnest sincerity, she looked at Jing Qing and said, “Please, Master, enlighten me!”
Jing Qing nodded solemnly and said, “Your husband’s fate is one in a billion, a true dragon among men. His abilities and status must be extraordinary, perhaps even worthy of universal admiration.”
“This…” Xiao Churan frowned, saying, “My husband doesn’t seem as remarkable as you describe, Master. He’s self-taught, good at reading feng shui, and some entrepreneurs and big bosses trust him, that’s true.”
“Not so,” Jing Qing shook his head slightly, “For someone with such an exceptional fate, if he were in business, he’d be among the world’s top ten richest. If he pursued academic research, he’d be winning Nobel Prizes effortlessly. If he seems unremarkable to you, the issue isn’t with him, but with you—something is blocking your view of the truth.”
Xiao Churan, astonished, asked, “Is it really that extraordinary?”
Jing Qing nodded, “You may not have heard of the Ascending Dragon Fate. As far as I know, your husband is likely the only one in the world with it.”
He continued gravely, “To achieve the Ascending Dragon Fate, one must first possess the Dragon Fate, and then be blessed by a father who also has the Dragon Fate. Only exceptional parents, sacrificing everything, can nurture such a person. His parents must be dragons among men, the rarest of the rare, one in a billion.”
Xiao Churan, half-doubting, said, “This… it sounds too fantastical. So, my husband’s parents must also be dragons among men? But… but he’s an orphan…”
Jing Qing smiled, “Don’t forget, even orphans had parents before they were orphaned.”
Xiao Churan struggled to comprehend.
Ye Chen lost his parents young and grew up in an orphanage. When she asked about his parents’ memories, he always said they were ordinary people who died in an accident, leaving him alone until the orphanage took him in.
Yet Master Jing Qing claimed his parents were dragons among men, the rarest kind. How extraordinary must they have been to earn such a title?
Now, Ye Chen’s and Master Jing Qing’s accounts directly contradicted each other. If one was true, the other must be false.
Who was telling the truth, and who was not?
Though reluctant to admit it, the scales in her heart began to tip.
Considering her lingering doubts, Master Jing Qing’s credibility seemed to outweigh her husband Ye Chen’s.
At this moment, Jing Qing looked at her and asked, “You said your husband’s name is Ye Chen. I recall the Ye family of Yanjing. Have you heard of them?”
