The sword seller, dressed in red, deserves applause for the prankster.

At the entrance of the square of Nine Swords Mountain, a girl dressed in red set up a stall by placing several wooden frames. She wore a mask that only covered the upper half of her face, but her beauty was still evident in the lower half of her face and her eyes.

She was slender and tall, but her every move was neither charming nor ingratiating. Instead, she was poised and upright, as if she were radiating light.

Passersby were all captivated by the light: "Wow... what a beautiful girl! She seems to be glowing. Could it be... could it be that I'm in love?!"

"What? So the saying that when you fall in love with someone, you feel like they're radiating light isn't a lie? I guess it's love at first sight, otherwise why is my heart pounding so hard, and why do I feel like kneeling down when I see her? Could it be... could it be that I want to propose?"

Others couldn't hold back any longer:

"Are you two idiots?! It's not just that she seems to be glowing, she's absolutely glowing! It's the golden light of merit! Anyone who shines upon her will kneel down!!!"

Looking back, wow... a whole row of them were kneeling!

The order was so perfect!

The two slow-witted people in front: "???"

No, that thing is the golden light of merit?!

After they realized what was happening, the two of them finally knelt down obediently with a "thud," bowing their heads to face the girl in red in front of them.

What's wrong with this girl? She clearly has absolutely no cultivation level, and I can't sense any spiritual energy about her, yet she's already turned into light through merit?!

"Is this the prodigy who signed up for Nine Swords Mountain? She's an outstanding individual in the entire universe! I've never seen anything like it! What did she do to accumulate such merit without any cultivation?"

"Perhaps... it's not that she lacks cultivation, but rather that her cultivation level far surpasses ours, to the point that we cannot sense it!"

Thinking of this, everyone gasped, feeling even more pressure!

"I'd thought about the Nine Swords Mountain arc, but I never imagined it would be this complicated! How are we supposed to play this?! Isn't this just pure insane?!"

"Actually... more than her background, I'm curious about what she's trying to do with that stall and drums..."

Jin Shengfei and the others also became serious as they watched this scene.

Jin Shengfei: "This girl is quite interesting... Even we can't sense her cultivation level, but her merits are truly extraordinary... She looks to be only in her early twenties; it's rare to see someone so young with such merits!"

Ying Wuhuo nodded: "She must be a promising talent being groomed by someone, but I don't know how good she is. Perhaps... I can give her a try."

Now that he is the sect leader of Nine Swords Mountain, even if he is aloof, he can't help but feel a sense of appreciation for such promising talents. After all... once they join Nine Swords Mountain, they will become the pillars of the mountain's future!

Jin Shengfei was speechless: "You're not going to pretend to be a Qi Refining stage cultivator again to fight with them, are you? You're hundreds of years old, have you no shame?"

The others nodded in agreement.

This is indeed unethical. What if it causes someone to become withdrawn and isolated? That would be terrible for their future!

Rong Xuanji narrowed her eyes: "She's starting to make a move!"

Several people looked over.

Suddenly, the sound of gongs and drums was heard.

"Bang bang bang—!"

"Fortune telling! Fortune telling! We'll answer every question, and it's guaranteed to be accurate!"

"I'll calculate your father's name, your mother's age, and the number of people in your family. Each calculation costs one low-grade spirit stone, and if I'm wrong, the second calculation is half price!"

Several people nearly collapsed after hearing this.

Yu Wuxin complained, "Seriously... setting up a stall with gongs and drums, and then fortune-telling here? Bringing your scam business to the gates of Nine Swords Mountain? Aren't you afraid someone will just arrest you and fine you?!"

"What is she anyway? Does she know the father's name and the mother's age? And if she's wrong, she charges half price the second time? So she doesn't lose out on either end, and the less accurate she is, the more she profits?!"

"Can she really find business with this? Are there really idiots in the world who would go to her for fortune telling?!"

Yu Wuxin was utterly speechless at this absurd fortune-telling business; it was simply too abstract, completely blatantly admitting "I'm a fraud."

No one in this world would ever seek her advice, not even an idiot.

"have."

Ying Wuhuo's voice rang out, shocking Yu Wuxin: "What?! Which idiot is this?! How could they believe her?!"

Ying Wuhuo pointed in a direction.

The group looked in that direction and saw a young man dressed in luxurious gold robes. He had a smile on his face and was holding a high-grade spirit stone in his hand as he hurried over.

That was the incarnation of Jin Shengfei, Jin Shengfei in his youthful form.

Yu Wuxin's mouth dropped open: "?"

Rong Xuanji pinched her brow and rubbed it.

Jingming: "Amitabha Buddha."

I dare not laugh, for fear of having my luck diminished.

Yu Wuxin immediately questioned her existence and teleported in front of Jin Shengfei:

"Dude, are you really going to go up there and get your fortune told? Don't you know she's a scammer? It's written all over her face!"

However, when he saw Jin Shengfei's expression, he was stunned.

Jin Shengfei clenched the high-grade spirit stone in his hand. A slight blush crept onto his handsome face, and his eyes were red. His breathing seemed to be labored, which made his voice heavier.

It looks like I could burst into tears at any moment.

Yu Wuxin: "No...no, buddy, I didn't curse you that badly, did I?"

Did they even make Jin Shengfei, with his thick skin, cry?

Surely not?

Although Jin Shengfei was indeed the one who cried the most among them, that was only hundreds of years ago. Jin Shengfei had been an immortal for so long, what hadn't he seen? In addition, he was thick-skinned enough and lucky enough that he was always the one who made others cry, and no one else had the chance to make him cry!

Jin Shengfei sobbed and sniffled, "I...I don't know, I just felt...I felt that it was really tough for her, a little girl, and it would be so embarrassing to leave her there shouting. I had to help ease her embarrassment, and...and...I felt that she was very familiar, a kind of familiarity that I couldn't quite put my finger on."

"My heart and my body are telling me... if I don't help her this time, we will never have the chance to meet again. If I don't help her this time, I will definitely regret it for the rest of my life."

"Wuxin, do you understand this feeling?"

Jin Shengfei's eyes were brimming with tears, she looked incredibly aggrieved.

Yu Wuxin: "...Is...this so?"

Rong Xuanji also stepped forward, looking at the girl's figure: "Let him go. I can also feel a fatal attraction to her, something familiar, something warm... Perhaps, she is the one we are looking for?"

Even Jingming stepped forward and nodded.

His Buddha-like eyes can see through all evil and reveal the true nature of the world.

Only...

"I can't see her clearly. Her appearance is blurry in my eyes. Her soul cannot be recorded by the world... Her fate is extremely chaotic. It seems incredibly resilient, yet it also seems so fragile that it would vanish into nothingness with the slightest touch."

"I think... she's very likely the person we're looking for. Let Saint-Fei give it a try; perhaps... there will be unexpected results."

He can still see...

Their fates, their joys and sorrows, were all intertwined with this familiar "stranger".

As Jin Shengfei said, if they missed her today, they would regret it for the rest of their lives.

Yu Wuxin pursed her lips, took a deep breath, and looked at Jin Shengfei: "Then go ahead."

Jin Shengfei gripped the high-grade spirit stone in his hand, suppressed all his emotions, and rushed towards the girl.
