Meng Qianqian was more convinced that Prime Minister Xun was withholding information about the Thousand Mechanism Pavilion.
Lady Yan sighed, "Miscalculated the divination? Do you know where Gongsun Yanming learned his craft?"
Meng Qianqian replied, "Witch Mountain, of course."
Lady Yan was surprised, "You know?"
Meng Qianqian spread her hands, "I just pried it out of Mr. Zi Wu's mouth."
The old man sure can keep a secret!
Lady Yan said, "Back in the day, the old Pavilion Master apprenticed at Witch Mountain. He didn't achieve much, but Gongsun Yanming mastered the Stargazing Skill just by studying the notes the Pavilion Master brought back. Even the Goddess praised his talent. Do you realize—"
She hesitated to continue.
Meng Qianqian said dismissively, "His talent means nothing if it isn't used for good. I only believe in one thing: evil cannot triumph over righteousness!"
"You're still so young."
