Xingtie: My silly online friend is actually a raccoon!

Upon hearing Lu Ze's words, Jing Tian neither became angry nor refuted them.

He stared at Lu Ze with his cloudy yet bright eyes, slowly scanning him from head to toe several times, before shaking his head.

"Even if it's a matter of resetting one's destiny, changing one's fate still comes at a price. Young man, you should think it through before you speak."

Jingtian spoke calmly, as if he were reciting a divination hexagram that had already been deduced.

Diviners usually speak only to the point, so to say this is already an exception for Fu Xuan's sake.

After saying that, he stopped trying to persuade Fu Xuan.

He knew his disciple's temperament better than anyone else—a hundred years ago, when she heard the prophecy of the assassination, she left the Jade Palace without looking back. A hundred years later, she had a man standing beside her who could change her fate. How could she possibly change her mind because of a few words from him?

Moreover, the current battle situation is critical, and he needs to deduce the troop deployment after the two immortal ships merge and the trajectory of the planet Fengraomin as soon as possible.

With so many things piling up, there's simply no time to waste on this pointless argument.

Jing Tian withdrew his gaze and turned to leave.

"Aze".

Fu Xuan watched Jing Tian's departing figure, then tugged at Lu Ze's sleeve, his voice tinged with worry.

She had been standing there listening the whole time, and when she heard the word "price," her fingers unconsciously clenched tighter.

She was afraid that Lu Ze would overthink things, that he would turn around and carefully consider what the teacher had said, and then think that he was only with him because he could change his fate.

"Xuan'er, would you mind telling me about your fate?" Lu Ze didn't do what she expected; he just smiled and asked.

He didn't care about the cost; he had his own reasons for being confident.

Every time he travels to the end, he is rejected by the world; he never leaves voluntarily.

He had a premonition that he would most likely have to leave after this war of abundance ended.

Even if there are any costs involved, they won't be able to be collected across worlds.

So he let Jingtian's words go in one ear and out the other.

He was more interested in the so-called "destiny" that Fu Xuan had been keeping hidden.

"Hmm... let's talk when we get home." Fu Xuan nodded, her hand still gripping his sleeve.

Back home, Fu Xuan took off his outer robe and hung it by the door, poured two cups of hot tea, and sat down next to Lu Ze.

The aroma of tea wafted between them. She held the teacup in silence for a while before she began to speak.

She began by talking about the Jade Palace, and then about the lifelong divination that Jingtian had deduced for her.

He killed the master and then ascended to the position of Grand Diviner.

She didn't believe it, so she left the Jade Palace.

She naively believed that as long as she stayed away from Jingtian, she could escape the prophecy of the assassin.

Later, she came to Luofu and started from the lowest level as a diviner, climbing up step by step, all for the sake of becoming the Grand Diviner one day.

If one ascends to the position of Grand Diviner before the prophecy, then the prophecy of "killing the master and then ascending to the position of Grand Diviner" will be refuted without any further evidence.

But it wasn't enough, no matter how hard she tried.

The trajectory of fate seemed to mock all her struggles; the more desperately she tried to escape, the closer she got to that final destination.

Lu Ze listened quietly to her finish speaking, then reached out and patted her head.

His palm rested on her meticulously styled pink hair bun, the movement very light and slow.

"Silly girl, you should have told me sooner. I would have helped you."

His tone was both indulgent and reassuringly confident.

He actually had some ideas on how to change Fu Xuan's fate.

However, the time is not yet ripe, and we need to wait a little longer.
