The Ballad of Youth: Inheriting Daoji, Li Hanyi, the Escapee from Marriage

"Calculate me? Do you mean calculate my future?"

"Sure! Do you need any tools? Or can you just calculate it with your fingers?"

"A simple calculation will suffice!"

As Li Xiuyuan spoke, he closed his eyes and began to calculate with his right hand.

"Well, this is..."

As Li Xiuyuan got into the zone, what he saw before him was no longer the restaurant he had just been in, but rather as if he had traveled through time and arrived in the future!

Witness Li Fansong's destiny firsthand beneath the Dengtian Pavilion!

"Isn't this the scene from the original novel where Lei Wujie goes to challenge the Heavenly Pavilion? Although the faces are different and the moves are even more magnificent."

"But it seems... there's no difference?"

"But why is it that my calculations just now showed a change in Li Fansong's fate?"

"If it weren't for this, why would I, the monk, have pushed Xiao Se to the restaurant and brought about this encounter with these two?"

Yes, the case can be closed now.

Everything is fate, and everything is based on Li Xiuyuan's previous calculations!

As he said, everything from his acquaintance with Li Fansong to the present day was orchestrated by him!

Otherwise, how could he not know that Xiao Se was truly broke? How could he make such unreasonable demands?

Including that farcical incident just now... well, it's true that he went too far, but there was another reason. He just wanted to take this opportunity to recalculate the other person's future and give the young man some pointers on some potentially dangerous variables.

"and many more……"

Li Xiuyuan continues to "look" at the future.

But when he saw that the woman, who should be Li Hanyi, cleaved the Dengtian Pavilion in two with a single sword strike, startling Lei Wujie, and then Li Fansong followed up to challenge the other party together, the change... began!

Because Li Hanyi simply couldn't possibly go too far in beating these two younger generation members, you know?

As a sword immortal, she has excellent control over her power, making it almost impossible for her to make any mistakes.

But even under these impossible circumstances, the opponent seemed to have seen something ominous, and without careful control, he lost control of his strength, causing a portion of his sword energy to leak out, resulting in Li Fansong's serious injury!

This... is change!

Of course, Li Hanyi wasn't without reaction at the time; she realized what was happening and didn't hold back!

But what can you do when she's a sword immortal?

Even just a fraction of the sword energy was enough to seriously injure Li Fansong!

"Huh? And then..."

Li Xiuyuan was about to watch the changes behind him when suddenly everything went black.

Everything vanished in that instant, something he had never experienced before!

Could it be that what is about to happen has something to do with him?

Li Xiuyuan was somewhat skeptical. He thought, "Either you can't figure it out from the start, or how can you suddenly stop halfway through the calculation?"

So he increased the amount of magic he channeled into his divination, continuing to predict what would happen next.

however……

When the "future scene" returned to his eyes, he saw a sword aura filled with extreme cold flying towards him!

"Holy crap! What the hell?! Li Hanyi stabbed me with a sword?!"

…………

Chapter 67 Is the Moonlit Evening and Flowery Morning Beautiful? Ascending Heaven Pavilion: I traded my life for it!

Li Xiuyuan's expression at this moment perfectly illustrated what it means to be completely dumbfounded.

No, what did he do?

Why did Li Hanyi suddenly stab him with a sword?

And that look in the other person's eyes earlier, as if they had seen something unlucky, made Li Xiuyuan feel like that thing was him.

You know how strange that feeling is?

If you inexplicably feel that "hey, this beautiful woman glanced at me, maybe she likes me," that's just wishful thinking, and it's most likely just your imagination.

But that look in his eyes, like he was looking at something unlucky...

Who would imagine themselves to be something like that?

Moreover, although Li Xiuyuan ate meat and drank alcohol, he did not break the precept against lust, nor was it so easy for him to do so!

It's impossible for someone to develop hysteria just because the other person is good-looking, right?

"Perhaps I, the monk, made a mistake in my calculation? Maybe the forced calculation caused the results to be mixed up?"

"I, a monk, neither provoked her nor do I know her. How could I have become a source of bad luck in other people's eyes for no reason?"

Even Xiao Se, who usually shows obvious disdain for him, is only on the surface. He's just a proud and arrogant guy who's deliberately trying to find an opportunity to tease him or make a joke.

But the sword strike he saw from Li Hanyi in his calculations was no joke!

That sword strike... it seems he really wanted to kill that unlucky thing?

Pshaw, he's not some kind of bad luck!

Thinking this, Li Xiuyuan continued his calculations, but before he could start channeling his magic power again...

In the outside world, that is, in reality, someone is speaking to you.

"Forget it, if we continue calculating, we probably won't get any useful information."

"Starting from the broken section after Li Fansong was knocked down from the Heavenly Pavilion and seriously injured, the rest... are all not very accurate."

Li Xiuyuan sighed inwardly, then opened his eyes.

"what happened?"

Seeing that Li Xiuyuan had reopened his eyes, Li Fansong spoke up somewhat guiltily.

"Um...did I disturb Master Daoji?"

"No, that's not true. My cultivation is insufficient. I can only calculate up to the part that is not far in the future, and then I can't continue."

Li Xiuyuan shook his head; he wasn't lying.

After all... if his cultivation level is truly high enough, the rule of considering others as superiors and not oneself simply cannot restrain him!

Moreover, he has now decided in his mind that what happened after the video cut off was unrealistic.

There doesn't seem to be much difference between calculating something unreal and being unable to continue calculating, right?

"Tch, I thought you, you filthy monk, were some kind of all-powerful being. Turns out you can only predict a tiny bit of the future?"

"Let me tell you, my great-great-grandmasters and grandmasters could all predict the future decades in advance!"

This slightly immature yet rather smug voice could not possibly come from someone of Li Fansong's age and personality.

As expected, the words spoken were those of Xiao Feixuan, who, although sometimes appearing mature, was actually more childlike in nature.

He crossed his arms, a silly grin on his face, like a roe deer, and began to "show off" to Li Xiuyuan.

"Hey, Feixuan! You can't say that. What is the Grandmaster's cultivation level? And what are the cultivation levels and ages of our Master and Uncle?"

How can these be compared?

"Furthermore, the arithmetic they use is a rough, approximate form of arithmetic, similar to that used by the Imperial Observatory."

"In a sense, it is the detailed arithmetic that calculates the near future that is more difficult to control."

Li Fansong first lectured Xiao Feixuan, then turned to look at Li Xiuyuan.

“Master Daoji, to be honest, judging from the way you were doing your calculations just now, it doesn’t seem fake.”

"So... as long as you actually calculate something this time and it comes true."

"So, whether we spar or not, I won't hold this meal accountable; consider it my treat."

Perhaps it was after hearing Li Fansong's words, or perhaps it was after a period of time that Li Xiuyuan was able to emerge from the frustration of making a wrong calculation and wanting to know something but being unable to grasp it.

His smile returned, and he slammed his hand on the table, startling Lei Wujie, who was eating!

"Alright! Just for those words, when your calamity comes to pass, I, the monk, will lend you a hand!"

Li Xiuyuan spoke with "high spirits," unaware that annoyance was slowly creeping onto Li Fansong's face opposite him.

Bloodshed or disaster?

Good heavens, is this the kind of "bloody disaster" that comes with the saying "I see a dark aura around your face, you're likely to suffer a bloody disaster soon"?

Damn it, isn't this the signature phrase of those fake immortals who pretend to be gods and ghosts, those so-called great immortals and half-immortals?

The worst outcome is bloodshed and a darkening of the forehead.

The better option would be, "I see your mind is radiant and your bones are extraordinary, so I'll entrust this Tathagata Palm manual to you."

This... are you sure you really know the art of calculation?

“Master Daoji…you are definitely not joking, are you? Although I, Li Fansong, have a good temper, this can’t happen repeatedly…”

Before Li Fansong could finish speaking, Li Xiuyuan interrupted him with a smile.

"Hey! Monk, didn't I teach you before? Don't react immediately to what others just say."

"I know you don't believe me, but... how about we make a bet?"

Li Fansong acquiesced, and then, following Li Xiuyuan's guidance, turned his gaze to the towering Dengtian Pavilion outside the window.

"That's... the Heavenly Pavilion?"

“That’s right, that’s the Ascension Pavilion. I, the monk, foresaw that your bloody calamity would be at that Ascension Pavilion!”

"Your main purpose in coming to Snowmoon City this time must be to challenge the Ascension Pavilion, right?"

Li Xiuyuan said with a smile.

"So what if it is? Don't tell me you figured this out yourself. You should know that to join Snow Moon City, you have to pass the Ascension Pavilion."
