Xiao System: Diviner Yi Hua
Liu Xingsheng's Past

"Since the era of the Kingdom's rise, the Prime Minister of this Country used a two-post system. The Li Kingdom had two Prime Ministers. Therefore, if not with Liu Xingsheng, then this system of two Prime Ministers would be meaningless to me." - Huan Ran.

...***...

Ling Xiao slightly drew closer to Liu Xingsheng, and the man watched the black mark on Liu Xingsheng's chest closely. After all this was actually the first time Ling Xiao had seen such a clear sign of the curse of the White Skull. It was as if just by peeled off his skin had just been the sign that nature disappeared. It was even if this mark was not attached to Liu Xingsheng's heart.

Shortly after Ling Xiao approached, Liu Xingsheng suddenly opened his eyes. This made Yi Hua surprised, and Huan Ran seemed to react a little. But Ling Xiao was calmer than he should have been. The man looked at Liu Xingsheng's blank-looking eyes, and after a long time Liu Xingsheng's gaze seemed to turn as restless.

Huan Ran spread his right hand between Ling Xiao and Liu Xingsheng. "What are you doing, Clairvoyant Ling?" asked the man with a sharp look.

Ling Xiao got up and raised both of his hands in the air. "I was just trying to scare him. For, even if one is unconscious, but his soul is still there, he will react with the circumstances around him."

"So, did Astrologer Ling mean that her soul was still inside her?" asked the confused Yi Hua. The reason, Xiao said that Liu Xingsheng lost his soul.

Xiao sighed slowly. "Can you live without a soul? It can make you a Human Shell. However, Liu Xingsheng from the beginning did not look like a Human Shell. He is more like a living, breathing person, but has no energy to get up as he usually does*. His spirit is still there, but his consciousness is out of place."

^^^*The term is kayak koma so if the modern language.^^^

Does it make sense for Liu Xingsheng to be made into a Human Shell by someone? Like Consort Qian was?

Yi Hua thought was what if when hit by the corpse powder Liu Xingsheng was actually dead. Then, since we know very well how much this Liu Xingsheng was loved by his brother, Consort Qian performed a ritual to raise his sister. Unfortunately, the incident is the same as the famous story of the Human Shell, the person who was brought to life is unfortunately no different from a corpse.

But, how to explain the presence of this sign from the White Skull?

Xiao was suddenly tired of Yi Hua's wild brain. "How can you think of such a complicated thing? It was you yourself who said that Liu Xingsheng would not die just from corpse powder poisoning. Moreover, you've given proper handling at that time."

The daydreaming of Yi Hua seemed to make Ling Xiao interested. As Yi Hua frowned too much. And, it made Yi Hua look capricious in expression. Sometimes it's like nodding his head, and sometimes his face frowns when his thinking doesn't arrive. I don't know. That was all Ling Xiao could predict.

"Does the Diviner of Yi have an opinion on this?" ling Xiao asked in the end.

Huan Ran also looked at Yi Hua who was like a surprise.

"Please continue," Yi Hua said with a sweet smile. He asked not because he knew, but rather was curious.

Who would have thought Ling Xiao was the type of person to ask back when asked. Actually this is a teaching method that scares students. Let alone the often dreamy disciple like Yi Hua. Suddenly he recalled about his youth in Cloud Training. And, Ling Xiao was still the same as before. A teacher who never gives ease to his students.

"It's like when you're asleep and dreaming. It's a very long dream that you don't even know how to start. When you have that dream, it hurts a lot. Yet the dream kept repeating itself, and there was no end," explained Ling Xiao who walked over to pay attention to the painting he had hung on the wall.

Yi Hua who was drunk because his brain could not catch Ling Xiao's intention immediately raised his hand. "I'm sorry I'm not too smart, Sage Ling. It's just that I thought that Prime Minister Liu was not physically ill, but his heart."

Yet Huan Ran seemed to understand Ling Xiao's words. Suddenly Yi Hua felt like he did not want to hang out with these people anymore.

Ling Xiao nodded as if agreeing to Yi Hua's words. "Like that. Perhaps there was something in his past that was present in this man's dream. Then, the dream continued to come non-stop. Until his physique could not wake up because his consciousness continued to dream."

Huan Ran suddenly spoke up. "When I was a kid, I heard stories. He said, when we fall asleep, our souls will walk out of the body. Our souls go to places or experience things we think about before going to sleep. When we wake up, our bodies will come back. That is why when we dream sometimes what we want before falling asleep can happen in the dream. Or, sometimes when we go somewhere we feel like we've seen it. Maybe it's not that we've seen it for real, but it's a dream."

Geez, there's no limit to his mouth talking!

At first Yi Hua thought that Huan Ran was like a system that had speech restrictions. However, now Huan Ran spoke quite a lot. And, as far as Yi Hua knew, Huan Ran would not say much back then was not an important matter.

Isn't it so amazing when we fall asleep and wake up already in the afterlife?

Xiao clucked as Yi Hua's thoughts bounced. "Can you be serious, HuaHua? Why are you even amazed at the talkative Huan Ran?"

" ... Concubine Qian?"

Since it was mostly daydreaming, Yi Hua only heard Ling Xiao's words when referring to Consort Qian. However, Huan Ran and Ling Xiao seemed to be talking quite a lot while Yi Hua was talking to Xiao. And they've come to this conversation.

Ling Xiao frowned. "I don't think that Consort Qian has a brother."

Huh uh? What the fuck is this story?

Just as Ling Xiao wanted to continue speaking, the sound of Yue Yan's footsteps sounded. The man seemed to be angry until he walked loudly. Yi Hua immediately ran towards the door and opened it quickly. Just then Yue Yan had already brought a bowl of water.

Yue Yan snatched. "It's your water!"

You rude human! How can he always yell when he talks?

Yi Hua touched the edge of the bowl. "It looks like this water isn't ready yet."

"What do you mean you're not ready yet, Yi Hua?" asked Yue Yan annoyed. After all Yue Yan was not the owner of this house.

Although Ling Ling did not have a large residence, but who knew if there were any traps in this house. Plus Yue Yan was told to look for drinking water, which Yue Yan himself was a guest here. Finally, Yue Yan had to spend long enough to open some jugs in the kitchen. Who would have thought that Ling Xiao had a lot of water jugs, which contained various kinds of herbs.

And, after that time of struggle, Yi Hua said that the water was not ready! Isn't this a very fucking arrangement?

"According to the health standards of the Li Kingdom Physician, good drinking water is boiled at a high temperature. The water is not ready. You have to cook it in the fire stove until it boils. Then, waiting for her the new cold could be consumed," Yi Hua explained with a serious face.

"Yi Hua, you ..." Yue Yan wanted to nag just unable to finish.

Because, Yi Hua had already pushed Yue Yan out again. Then, close the door slowly. Even Yi Hua had barely moved the large cupboard to cover the door for fear that Yue Yan might force his way in. However, Yue Yan this time obeyed Yi Hua's words, even by mentioning the names of the beasts behind her.

Oh gosh.

Yi Hua could hear the footsteps of Yue Yan who was moving away again.

After which, Yi Hua turned around to ask Ling Xiao. Exactly Ling Xiao's statement about Consort Qian. Whatever happened after his death (as Li Wei), Yi Hua did not know. Thus Consort Qian's existence was a while after Li Shen ascended the throne.

But the one who asked was Huan Ran. "What do you mean by saying if Consort Qian has no brothers?"
