The Mysterious Diviner.

A magnificent gate was opened to reveal a beautiful large yard with some colorful never-seen-before flowers planted at the side of the stone walkway. Just the gate alone could help determine the rank of the owner, much less the size of the residence. As the man entered the gate, all the servants kneeled down to greet their master. However, there was extreme pressure falling down onto them when their lord passed. Each step was more solemn than the others. None of the servants dared to look up, even the chief eunuch that had served the lord for years.

Zheng Guozi's empty dark eyes swept across the flowers that were called 'tulips'. The flowers that he saw in his dreams and the flowers that he knew his fated beloved would love. Looking at them reminded him of the captivated diviner he had met this afternoon. His mood became fouler and he stomped to his resting quarter. All the servants dared not move as their lord flicked his sleeves and slammed closed the door to his room. It was his sign to not be disturbed. They had to retreat and leave their lord alone if they did not want to suffer in his fit of anger.

Zheng Guozi sat down on a wooden chair with his palm holding his chin. His clothes rustled and he pulled out a white handkerchief. His eyes marveled at it for a while and his fingers gently stroked the cloth. When he was eating tofu and pissing his fated beloved off, he sneakily got under Sun Gui's clothes and stole his handkerchief. If any of his attendants were to see that sight, they would think that this was not their almighty Lord Regent at all, someone must have possessed his body.

For 36 years of his life, he knew he was waiting for someone and that someone had appeared. The soft handkerchief was put close to his nose as he took a sniff to recognize the smell of incense and cinnamon. His eyes were filled with fire and determination.

"I will find you wherever you are. Nothing can ever happen to you."

Only then his uneasiness could subside, the moment that beautiful diviner disappeared from his sight, he felt like his world was crushed and what awaited him was the diviner covered in blood. A crazy look of obsession appeared on the attractive face.

Meanwhile, Sun Gui shuddered in his sleep, he felt like a cold wind passed by despite the burning coal in his room.

----------------------------------

For the next few weeks, with recuperation as his shield, he no longer had to attend any events inside the palace. Instead, he started creating miracles among the common people in the city. There was a plague creating havoc to the border of the city. The disease that killed people left and right were quelled in just two weeks. His knowledge in medicine became a valuable source and he spread awareness about hygiene with some fancy words.

"All the filth that is built up continues to savage your body. Only by giving yourself a cleanse with this medicine called 'soap' everyday could give you great fortune of health. Even after the plague was over, continue to build your fortune for the next reincarnation."

His reputation soared as a mysterious diviner who blessed the people with good health. He did a feat that not even the imperial doctor could do. A man with power as well as unparalleled beauty masked with a veil became a curious presence.

Two strong forces were looking for Sun Gui. One was the emperor and one was the regent. The emperor soon gave up after the news that he had disappeared from that town. But how could the Zheng Guozi give up? His diviner was more nimble than he thought as he kept escaping from his search. He searched through the mountains and rivers, the towns and the cities, even in the slum of the country but no one knew where this diviner was residing in. Due to his frantic search, people started whispering that the regent had found his beloved but they seem to be hiding. Why would they hide from this excellent unmarried man? That person was considered fortunate to those who had their hearts on the regent.

"Who's the beloved of Lord Regent?"

"Even the flower of the city could not get into his eyes. This person must be powerful."

"Ha, the lord have been unmarried for so long, I hope the lord find that person soon."

…

Meanwhile, Zheng Hong, who wanted to invite the diviner to the palace, had been keeping the hat like it was a treasure. It was placed beside the dragon bed so he could fall asleep next to it every night.

The favored concubine, Sun Wen, saw this and it sparked a flame of jealousy in his heart. Whose hat was that for the emperor that had been infatuated with him to cherish just a damn straw hat? He acted carefree, unrestrained and shared some modern poems to keep the emperor interested. He could not have a fit of jealousy in front of the emperor because the emperor was not that in love with him yet, the emperor cared more about the throne at the moments. He had only eliminated his brother in this harem with dozens of wives.

However, his system dictated him to be the only love in the emperor's life. Thankfully, no one in the harem had any offsprings, even the empress. His system might be generous but Sun Wen had already died once and gained this second life with the system. If he failed to fulfill the goal, this body would be returned to its owner and he would die.

That was the reason he had to buy intel from the guard present at the day Zheng Hong brought that hat back.

"What? In history, there's such fantasy thing? Ha, is this guy a fraud?"

Sun Wen hooked his lips up in a mocking smile. He could never believe that his man fell for a crook.

"Can the system track this fraud?"

To his delight, the system gathered enough information to track this abnormality. Sun Wen put on a disguise just like how he used to sneak out before. With the help of his system, he successfully got out of the palace. It was still too tiring to dodge and hide from patrol like this. It would be better if he could get rid of the fraud today. Either he died or they died.

----------------------------------

"Hm? Someone's tracking me? Heh, Sun Wen made his moves?"

There was a change in the air as if a pair of eyes appeared and observed him from the shadow. For Sun Gui, a thousands year old transmigrator, it was not hard to detect another system's presence. Thankfully, he was at a common tea shop with his newly bought straw hat. If he had been in the palace, it could have messed up his plan.

The tea was piping hot and the aroma was pleasant. He leisurely took a sip of the tea under the veil and marveled the taste. After waiting for a while, the person he was waiting for finally arrived.

A boy in common clothes walked in. His stature was small just like Sun Gui. He had his hair up into a bun with cloth wrapping around his forehead. His appearance was cute and a bit ordinary made him blend easily into the crowd. His eyes dashed around before seeing the familiar straw hat. His lips raised up into a smirk.

Sun Gui raised his head up and looked straight at the boy. It made the boy flinch, not because he was discovered but the exuding aura from that person was too breathtaking. Even if the diviner covered most of his face, he could imagine a beautiful face underneath. Sun Wen bit his lips in jealousy.

'I would rather transmigrate into that body!!'

"Esteemed diviner, may I have some of your time."

Sun Wen pushed his words out, concealing the envy in his eyes. Sun Gui blinked several times as if to flaunt his luscious lashes and then curved his eyes into crescents.

"Gongzi, you are bold."

"W-What do you mean, esteemed diviner?" Sun Wen was alarmed at the dangerous glint in those beautiful eyes. He unconsciously took a step back.

"You dare to use this kind of power to spy on me? For what reason?" Sun Gui knew despite Sun Wen's appearance, this person was ruthless with their methods of getting rid of obstacles. He quietly killed the harem one by one, even the whole family of the empress fell to despair thanks to him. This would be the first time Sun Gui would deal a heavy punishment to the leads of the world.

"Y-You're for real?" Sun Wen's eyes opened wide and his tone seemed to be scared. His system was discovered by the diviner.

"Gongzi, I don't understand your meaning. This diviner wishes to know gongzi's purpose for spying on me. Did I steal something from you? Such as… a person's attention?" There was a mocking tone in that light voice.

"Y-You!! So you knew?! Do you want to enter the palace by seducing the emperor?!?" Sun Wen slapped his hands on the table and looked fiercely into the visible eyes.

"Hahahahaha, gongzi said such joke! How can I be confined in that bird cage when I belonged to the world. I already have a beloved waiting for me." Sun Gui laughed so hard that tears started forming at the corner of his eyes. After having the laughing fit that stirred the people around them, he continued. "Don't worry, you will be the only one left with the dragon aura. It is your fate. Lastly, don't you dare use this power on me again."

Sun Gui opened the shop and bought a signal jammer, effective against all technology with an obscene price. Sun Wen winced in pain as he felt the system was being forcefully cut off. He hurriedly retreated the connection between the system and this scary diviner. His heart started to fill with fear and ran away without looking back. There was still an echoing laugh behind that running back.
