The princess was ordained by Heaven.

Chapter 200 is not a good thing.

Zheng Xun nodded without any guilt: "Yes, there are many things I am unaware of."

Logically speaking, in the eyes of extreme believers, God should be omnipotent, but Zheng Xun admitted his ignorance very frankly, and the boy did not show any sign of wavering.

He believed her without question and said with heartache, "The goddess has suffered."

Zheng Xun: ...

If he hadn't told her, she really wouldn't have known she was suffering.

The boy continued, "The goddess has an older brother."

Zheng Xun accidentally stepped on a dead branch.

"Click——"

The crisp sound of the dry twig snapping was particularly jarring in the silent environment.

"goddess?"

Zheng Xun tucked his trembling hands into his sleeves: "It's alright, please continue."

"Simply put, this place was not once a mountain range, but a boundless sea. One day, the sea surged with raging waves, and the tiny people were about to be swallowed up by the waves."

"At this moment, the goddess stepped forward. She split into six, blocking six fortresses. Her skirt became the land, and she herself became the mountain, blocking the sea on the other side of the mountain."

"After being rescued, the goddess's brother was heartbroken and decided to build a temple for his sister as a memorial. When the people learned of his idea, they also spontaneously joined in the construction."

"This is the origin of the Goddess Concept."

As the boy spoke, he became so moved that tears welled up in his eyes.

As for Zheng Xun, she knew that every civilization had its own mythology, so she remained calm throughout.

She only began to think after he finished speaking.

She was now certain that this goddess had some kind of connection with her, but her body transformed into mountains, and her robes into land...

This is not like her at all.

That's more like the way my older brother does things.

He is the kind of person who would not hesitate to sacrifice himself for the common people.

Moreover, he possesses earth-based superpowers.

A thought struck her, and she asked, "Where has the goddess's brother gone?"

"After the Goddess Temple was built, the Goddess's brother disappeared."

This was within Zheng Xun's expectations, but he was still somewhat disappointed.

Could that be my older brother?

If it really is him, why would he leave such a legend in this world?

Where is my brother now? Is that goddess really her?

Filled with doubt, she asked the boy many more questions along the way, but the boy didn't know much either, so Zheng Xun didn't gain much in the end.

Before they even reached Jiang Yang's courtyard, he had already come out to greet them.

Jiang Yang was even more flustered than the two teenagers when he saw Zheng Xun.

It's no wonder he was surprised; he knew where Zheng Jin was, and Zheng Jin had told him that she had a younger sister who was a little fairy.

But no one told him that this princess and the goddess looked so alike!

Oh no, that's not right either. Zheng Jin had been traveling with her adoptive parents and had only been to Wuzhou twice. In addition, the practice of praying to gods and Buddhas was not strong at the academy, so it's normal that she didn't know.

The two boys, though puzzled by the headmaster's appearance, still knelt down.

Zheng Xun: "Get up."

Jiang Yang lowered his hands: "I was unaware of the princess's arrival. I have been negligent and hope the princess will forgive me!"

Zheng Xun waved his hand: "Alright, Headmaster, there's no need for such formalities."

The group moved to another location and sat down before starting to discuss business.

"Is this for the preliminary imperial examination, Princess?"

"That's one reason. The second reason is to help my second sister retrieve her adoptive parents' belongings."

Jiang Yang paused for a moment, then said, “Alright, Your Highness must be tired from your journey. Why don’t you rest for the night? Your belongings still need to be sorted out. Once they are sorted, I will personally deliver them to Your Highness.”

Zheng Xun's gaze lingered on him for a moment, then slowly moved away: "Okay."

Jiang Shanchang looked at the disciple who came with Zheng Xun: "Jiang Ye, take the princess back to rest, and follow the princess's orders."

“Alright, Third Uncle, I’ll go arrange accommodations for the princess first.”

Before leaving, Zheng Xun turned back to look at Jiang Yang: "Jiang Shanzhang, I want to take all of his belongings back with me."

Jiang Shanchang said solemnly, "Please rest assured, Your Highness, I will certainly handle this matter well."

Zheng Xun nodded and left with Jiang Ye.

Once out of Jiang Yang's sight, Jiang Ye said in a muffled voice, "Third Uncle doesn't like the princess."

Zheng Xun raised an eyebrow: "How do you know?"

“If my third uncle had a good impression of the princess, he certainly wouldn’t have entrusted you to me to entertain… because he doesn’t like me either.”

Therefore, Jiang Yang naturally assumed that Jiang Ye wouldn't like him either.

Therefore, he always felt that Jiang Ye would ruin his plans, and he never entrusted him with important tasks.

"You're so honest, aren't you afraid I won't believe you?"

The boy's eyes were full of trust: "The goddess is all-knowing and all-seeing, she would never do such a thing."

Zheng Xun smiled slightly: "You are different from your third uncle. He is not devout enough to the goddess."

Therefore, when he saw that Zheng Xun and the statue looked so alike, he only showed surprise and did not feel fear.

He had no reverence for the goddess, so his mind was never still filled with wicked ideas.

In fact, Zheng Jin did not ask Zheng Xun to help retrieve her parents' belongings.

However, Zheng Xun, who had read the original work, knew that if the items were not retrieved at this time, the most important book among the relics, "The Book of Fragrances," would be sold by Jiang Yang and eventually fall into the hands of the Brown Kingdom.

As we all know, the protagonist's things are usually good things, but even the best things, if they fall into the hands of a bunch of beasts, will become the stuff of evil.

To prevent the soldiers and people of Dayong from being ravaged, she had no choice but to rob them.

Jiang Ye frowned in disgust: "Third Uncle is far too arrogant."

Zheng Xun patted Jiang Ye on the shoulder with a smile as usual: "It's alright. If he's not a good person, the goddess will punish him."

Jiang Ye nodded emphatically: "Yes! We must believe in the goddess."

As Zheng Xun was looked at with unwavering certainty, for a moment she genuinely wondered if she might actually be that goddess.

However, Zheng Xun knew very well that apart from appearance, she and that goddess had nothing in common.

Jiang Ye was very efficient and arranged a quiet and beautiful courtyard for her.

Zheng Xun was very satisfied.

The next day, she met with Jiang Yang again and directly asked to inspect the academy.

Jiang Yang sneered inwardly.

These patrolmen are only good at this much; they just wander around aimlessly. He doesn't believe she can figure anything out.

That's what he was thinking, but for some reason, he always felt uneasy.

No, she won't find anything, definitely not.

Perhaps due to his worries, Jiang Yang's smile remained somewhat forced throughout the inspection.

Two questions kept swirling in his mind: "Can the princess tell fortunes?" and "Is the princess meticulous or careless?"

Because Zheng Xun's arrival was sudden, Jiang Yang's preparations were really limited.

On several occasions, he himself noticed something amiss, but Zheng Xun remained unmoved.

Gradually, he relaxed and began to appreciate what kind of trouble Zheng Xun, this "show-off" and "spendthrift," was going to cause.
