I Have an Omen System

"As you command."

A youth in blue robes who looked to be sixteen or seventeen years old quickly stepped forward. "Elder Wei, this way, please."

"Thank you for taking the trouble to show this old one the way."

Smiling, Qin Xuan patted Wang Runsong’s shoulder, smoothly slipping a Mid-Grade Talisman from his sleeve into the boy’s palm.

A youth at a mere Qi Cultivation Third Layer had never seen such a High-Tier Talisman before.

He beamed with joy, his attitude becoming even more genuine.

"Thank you, Elder Wei!"

Qin Xuan narrowed his eyes and stroked the long beard under his chin, smiling but saying nothing.

His Divine Sense, comparable to that of a Foundation Establishment Ninth Level cultivator, suddenly flared out, instantly enveloping the entire Qixing Royal Family estate.

...

「Meanwhile, in a secret chamber」

The Wang Family’s ancestor, Wang Zezhou, sat cross-legged, seemingly in meditation. He was well over two hundred years old, his life like a candle in the wind.

Before him, the Wang Family Patriarch, Wang Lansheng—the same man who had just greeted Qin Xuan with a welcoming smile—stood by, attending to him with a cautious and respectful expression.

"Ancestor, what is your judgment? Is that Wei Chusheng genuinely planning to join our Wang Family?"

"His cultivation at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer is genuine, as is his status as a Talisman Cultivator. As for the rest, I cannot yet tell."

Wang Zezhou’s voice was hoarse and his eyes were cloudy. The deathly aura clinging to him was even heavier than the one Qin Xuan was faking as Wei Chusheng.

Hearing this, Wang Lansheng’s eyes lit up.

"Ancestor, doesn’t that mean our Wang Family can obtain his Tier One Talisman Cultivator legacy?"

Ever since losing the Cold Stone Ore mine to the neighboring Wu Family from Cold Abyss Valley years ago, the Wang Family’s power had been in sharp decline.

Now, with the addition of Wei Chusheng, a Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer Talisman Cultivator, the Wang Family had essentially gained an Honored Elder.

The ambitions Wang Lansheng had long since extinguished were now beginning to stir once more.

He said impatiently, "Ancestor, since his identity and cultivation are not a problem, should I take the initiative and make him a son-in-law of our Wang Family?"

"We can have him father a child as soon as possible, so we can bind him with a family Soul Lamp and prevent the Wu Family from snatching him away."

"No rush. Observe him for a few years. We’ll assess his character then."

Wang Zezhou shook his head slightly. "These are chaotic times. The world is in turmoil, and both the Canglin and Jade Wind countries have become battlefields. People like him will become more and more common. There’s no need to make a big fuss."

"Right, don’t forget to report to the Household Registration Department of Prince Yaan’s Mansion first. Register his True Essence Aura on a Talisman Disc, just in case."

"As you command!" Wang Lansheng, looking slightly disappointed, slowly retreated.

「Jade Balance Lake Courtyard」

Qin Xuan was half-reclining on a soft couch.

The gentle strains of string and flute music filled the air.

Beside him, a shy, sixteen-year-old mortal girl lay in his arms, feeding him grapes mouth-to-mouth.

’This little Foundation Establishment Clan might not look like much, but it’s got all the bells and whistles!’

Take these nine maids they just sent over, for instance.

Every one of them was sixteen years old, with lovely features and skin so tender it looked like you could squeeze water from it.

Qin Xuan wasn’t actually a lecher.

But he had no choice. To maintain his disguise and fit the persona of Wei Chusheng—a man anxious to produce an heir—he had to go against his own nature and act the part.

’Heh, those two old foxes from the Wang Family are pretty cautious.’

A glint of light flashed in the depths of Qin Xuan’s eyes as he retracted his Divine Sense.

He had heard every word of the conversation between Wang Lansheng and the old ancestor.

’But trying to figure out my true background? They must be dreaming.’

’A Foundation Establishment First Level, and the weakest kind—Human Dao Foundation Establishment—at that. I could beat a hundred of them with one hand!’

Withdrawing his Divine Sense, Qin Xuan felt utterly at ease.

’This kind of high-level disguise is so much more comfortable. Backed by the Ten Thousand Forms Blood Talisman, it couldn’t be more authentic.’

Ever since accepting the Youzhou Spy mission and leaving the Holy Sect, Qin Xuan had traveled straight south.

Along the way, he casually killed a Loose Cultivator at the Qi Cultivation Eighth Layer.

Soul Search, disguise...

All done in one smooth sequence.

Afterward, he made his way to the Wang Family on Thousand Lakes Island.

This Wang Family of Thousand Lakes Island was the prize he had settled on after a meticulous screening process.

The Patriarch’s cultivation was low. The family was situated in the far south of You Province, a long way from the front lines in Canglin Country. As long as Prince Yaan’s Mansion held, he wouldn’t need to fear getting swept up in the war.

’As for gathering intelligence on Golden Core True Monarchs?’

’Fuck that. Once I deal with the backlash from my Divine Techniques, I’m just gonna lay low on this Thousand Lakes Island until the war blows over!’

Suddenly, Qin Xuan leisurely opened his eyes.

"Why has everything stopped?"

He gave a grand wave of his hand. "Keep the music playing! Keep dancing!"

Then, taking a deep breath, he buried his face once more in the softness before him.
