Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

"Simply put, Lu Ze is the one destined by the Grand Diviner."

Qingque carefully put the Imperial Jade Tokens back into her sleeve one by one, her tone resolute.

"The destined one?"

Xing tilted her head, her golden eyes filled with confusion.

She's only three years old; she's still a baby.

March 7th and Danheng, who were standing next to them, also showed curious expressions.

This word clearly has a special meaning in the context of Xianzhou, and it cannot be understood by simply guessing its literal meaning.

"To put it simply, he is a crucial person who can influence the life of the Grand Diviner."

Qingque picked up her teacup to moisten her throat, then put it down again.

"Moreover, the Grand Diviner must have also learned about this through divination, which is why she cared so much about Lu Ze—paying for his meals, finding him a job, and arranging his accommodation."

"Think about it, given her personality, when has she ever been this enthusiastic towards a stranger?"

After careful consideration, March 7th realized that Qingque's words made a lot of sense.

Although she hadn't met Fu Xuan many times, based on those few interactions, this Grand Diviner didn't seem like the kind of person who would be so attentive to strangers.

Unless she knows that this person means a lot to her.

"I suppose that no matter how much they outwardly appear to disbelieve in fate, deep down they must still be wavering."

Qingque put down her teacup, her tone tinged with a touch of melancholy.

Having worked in the Grand Divination Bureau for so many years, she knew better than anyone the contradictions hidden beneath Fu Xuan's cold and aloof demeanor.

He says he doesn't believe in fate, but he takes every divination very seriously; while denying the existence of destiny, he can't help but repeatedly seek proof in the divination results.

"What? What's going on? Qingque, can you please stop being a riddle reader?"

March 7th slammed her hand on the table in dissatisfaction. She felt that Qingque seemed to have said a lot, but at the same time, it was as if she hadn't said anything at all.

The text is a jumbled mess of seemingly unrelated phrases and sentences, making it impossible to translate coherently. It appears to be a collection of fragments from various sources, possibly related to a story or a series of events. A proper translation wouldn't be meaningful without the full context.

"I understand!"

Xing stood with her hands on her hips, head held high, chest puffed out, a smug look on her face.

"Alright, stop joking around. I know exactly what you're capable of."

March 7th doesn't believe Xing's words at all. Every time this little raccoon shows this expression, it's not because it really understands, but because it's about to start talking nonsense.

Seeing that the two of them were both unreliable, Qingque sighed and decided to try a different approach to explain things.

"Sister, you should know what the Grand Diviner looked like when he was possessed by Suiyang." She turned to look at Xing, her tone much more formal than before.

"I know."

Xing nodded, his previous playful expression vanishing.

She remembered that Fu Xuan was controlled by Sui Yang back then, and in the illusion, he became a person who resigned himself to his fate.

"Suiyang can manipulate people's dreams and desires. The Grand Diviner who was possessed by Suiyang showed what she feared most deep down."

Qingque paused for a moment, looked around at everyone present, and then told them what she knew about Fu Xuan's master-killing destiny.

From Jingtian's deduction of that cruel destiny for Fu Xuan, to Fu Xuan's departure from Yuque to Luofu in order to defy fate, and then to her rise from the lowest level of diviner in Taibu Si, step by step, to where she is today.

That prophecy was like a thorn, piercing her heart from the day she became an apprentice, and it has remained there for nearly a century.

On the surface, she remains the same confident, straightforward, and fatalistic Fu Xuan, but only she knows that every time she opens the divination board in the dead of night, she is searching for the possibility of breaking the deadlock.

A hundred years passed in haste, without any results.

And now, a complete game-changer is standing right in front of us.

How could she not be tempted?

"So the Grand Diviner's kindness towards Lu Ze is not due to any romantic entanglement."

Qingque concluded.

"It's just because she, who defied fate, finally met someone who could help her change her destiny."
