Chapter 601: No Guarantee of Accuracy
The arrival of Kong Asan did make the Emperor of Fengdu feel much better.
The King of Fengdu, who originally had a sullen face, immediately came forward and asked Kong Asan to sit down with a smile.
"It's been a while since we last met. How's Doctor Kong doing these days?"
Kong Asan, who was sitting nearby, waved his hands and said, "That's just the way it is. I'm just idle all day, so anywhere can be a good place to sleep!"
"Where's the Emperor? The war has just ended, and the underworld should be quite busy. How could the Emperor have the time to ask me for a chat?"
Kong Asan took a sip of tea while speaking. Maybe he didn't like this kind of tea, and he always felt that the taste was just average.
Seeing Kong Asan asking about his intention directly, the King of Fengdu did not hide anything and laughed heartily while sitting at the top.
"The affairs of the underworld have basically calmed down now, and I am now free. I am thinking of treating Divine Doctor Kong to a banquet."
"After all, the fact that this war was able to be quelled so quickly, in addition to the help from Heaven, the assistance of Divine Doctor Kong cannot be ignored."
To put it simply, the celebration banquet that I had been planning to arrange has now been arranged.
Feeling he had grasped the key point, Kong Asan slapped his thigh and said, "Hey, that's great! I can get a free meal, and even a free celebration banquet from you, Your Majesty! I'm truly honored!"
The Emperor of Fengdu looked at Kong Asan with amusement, and then told him the location and time of tomorrow's celebration banquet.
Kong Asan pondered, "I see. Why didn't the Emperor just send the invitation directly to me? Why did he personally invite me here?"
So, there is only one explanation.
The King of Fengdu told him that there would be a celebration banquet tomorrow, just by the way.
He asked me to come because of another important matter.
Ah, what trouble... I wonder what kind of trouble is coming to my door~
Kong Asan sighed in his heart, but did not show it on his face.
He was still thinking about how to pretend to accidentally leave out the things that the Styx Patriarch gave him.
The key point is, if he just throws this thing down, will the King of Fengdu be able to detect what his intention is?
Forget it, there will always be a way when you reach the mountain. Instead of thinking too much, you might as well just do it.
Anyway, you have to try it to know the final result.
Kong Asan, who had successfully convinced himself, narrowed his eyes slightly and waited quietly for what the King of Fengdu would say next.
Just as he had imagined, the Emperor of Fengdu soon revealed his real purpose in inviting Kong Asan here.
"Huh? Your Majesty, I'm not saying this, but you shouldn't tell me about this kind of thing, no matter what, right?" Kong Asan's face showed bitterness.
After hearing the King of Fengdu say that the king has been managing the stability of the underworld recently, he unexpectedly discovered that there are far fewer ghosts coming down to the underworld recently than in the past.
Even many ghost messengers who went to collect souls for free were injured by mysterious monks while collecting souls, resulting in returning empty-handed.
After research in the underworld, it is speculated that there may be people in the human world who are indiscriminately capturing ghosts and practicing evil skills in order to achieve some purpose.
Kong Asan said that he really didn't want to know the secrets of the underworld!
Seeing Kong Ah San's frightened expression, the Emperor of Fengdu smiled and tried to appease him, "I know this is an internal matter of the underworld, and it's not appropriate to involve Divine Doctor Kong. However, Divine Doctor Kong will give you a divination for the details."
But this kind of comfort is worse than no comfort at all!
Kong Asan twitched his lips and said quickly, "Although it's an honor for me to ask you, Emperor, to tell my fortune, this kind of thing shouldn't be my turn, right?!"
Then came his three old things: I am just a charlatan, I am not that good at fortune-telling, and I just want to live a life of idleness and wait for death.
He used this to emphasize that he really had no ability, and begged the King of Fengdu to find someone else to cause trouble.
The Emperor of Fengdu stood up and walked to Kong Asan. He gently patted Kong Asan's shoulder and said earnestly:
"Although there are many people in this world who are good at divination, the only one I can trust is you, Brother Kong."
The Emperor of Fengdu simply lowered his status and became brothers with Kong Asan.
If it were someone else, being treated like this by the King of Fengdu would definitely make them anxious and fearful.
However, it was Sora Asan who was here.
He twitched his lips and thought to himself: You are such a bad guy!
Isn't it just to get something for free? Who is he, Kong Asan? How could he expect him to get something for free without giving any benefits?
"My appearance fee is very expensive." Kong Asan coughed, cleared his throat, and looked at the Emperor of Fengdu with pretended arrogance.
The Emperor of Fengdu was silent for a moment, then made his promise: "Two acquired spiritual treasures, you can choose from them."
"Three items, and I'll give you a little surprise." Kong Asan shook his head and looked at the King of Fengdu with a smile.
"Then three." The King of Fengdu agreed without any hesitation.
Considering that Kong Asan had previously offered such a useful prescription as a bonus, the Emperor of Fengdu intuitively felt that this "little surprise" might be beneficial to the underworld.
Seeing that the Emperor of Fengdu agreed so readily, Kong Asan felt that he had been at a disadvantage again: "Damn it, I underestimated it."
The villain in his heart bit his handkerchief and shed tears: If I had known that he would agree so readily, I should have asked for more.
Although acquired spiritual treasures are of little use to him, the process of collecting these spiritual treasures is still very relaxing.
What a sense of accomplishment!
Putting aside all distracting thoughts, Kong Asan immediately asked the Emperor of Fengdu: "If that's the case, then please tell me, what exactly do you want me to calculate?
"I have to state in advance that I cannot guarantee that my calculations are accurate."
"If you can't find what you want based on my calculations, it's none of my business~"
Kong Asan's eyes drifted when he remembered to give himself a disclaimer halfway through his speech.
He was definitely not blinded by the three acquired spiritual treasures given by the Emperor of Fengdu, so he forgot to issue a disclaimer at the first time.
The King of Fengdu chuckled and then stated his request.
He wanted to know whether the person behind the scenes was related to the River Styx.
Kong Asan paused as he was about to calculate, and said jokingly:
"Ah? I thought you, Emperor, wanted to know where the mastermind behind this is now, so you could eliminate the villain who protects the human world!"
No matter what, the person behind the scenes is competing with the underworld for the KPI. No matter how you think about it, the underworld will not just sit there and do nothing!
The Emperor of Fengdu said, "Although I do want to know the answer to this question, I am more worried about the connection between the Styx and this matter."
Kong Asan chuckled, "In that case, I will reluctantly make a calculation. Your Majesty, please listen to it and use it as a reference."
Then, he took out the fortune-telling props he carried with him and began to predict for the Emperor of Fengdu what he wanted to know.
The coin fell to the ground, and Kong Asan frowned as he looked at the hexagram on the table.
"What?" The Emperor of Fengdu subconsciously raised his mind.
