My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!-Chapter 456 - 316: The Debate on Destiny
Song Yiren looked at the suddenly silent fortune-telling old man and curiously asked, "Why did you stop talking? Can I cultivate to the Sixth Realm?"
Becoming a Grandmaster is not difficult for her.
She had already touched that boundary.
But as for the Sixth Realm, she was not confident. To step into the Sixth Realm, innate talent, comprehension, and opportunity are indispensable.
The invisible and elusive opportunity is the most critical.
The fortune-telling old man gradually came back to his senses.
At his level, being unable to foresee is actually a kind of certain outcome.
Regardless of whether her cultivation path ends at the Grandmaster or the Semi-Saint of the Sixth Realm, they are within the scope of the Yin Yang Technique's insight. Only the result of the Seventh Realm is beyond his current cultivation.
The significance behind this is naturally self-evident.
Not only is that kid strange, but the people around him are also abnormal...
He returned half of the silver to Song Yiren and said, "Sorry, I won't continue the fortune-telling..."
After saying that, he packed up the fortune-telling stall and left with the young girl.
Song Yiren watched the grandfather and granddaughter leave and did not stop them.
The elder being able to consecutively guess the three questions she wanted to ask clearly indicated he had genuine skills, at least not like the Jianghu fraudster she encountered last time.
If he truly is a formidable Yin Yang Master, does that mean she'll be able to advance to Grandmaster within a year?
And then get married...
She suddenly remembered an important question she hadn't asked and hurriedly chased after them, loudly saying, "Elder, please wait! Could you help me find out who my husband is..."
However, when she reached a street corner, she discovered that the grandfather and granddaughter had already disappeared.
She had no choice but to return to the academy, feeling slightly disappointed.
Although she had always been firm in her original choice, hearing a certain result would make her more reassured.
At that moment, on another street in Zhao Country's capital, a young girl looked up and asked, "Grandfather, are we going to leave here?"
The old man did not directly answer. After a moment of contemplation, he said, "No hurry. Grandpa needs to visit an old friend first..."
...
Li Nuo finished his classes at Wansong Academy and was walking home with Yiren when she mentioned an incident.
He looked at Yiren in surprise and asked, "Will you accomplish the breakthrough this year?"
Song Yiren nodded and said, "That's what the elder said."
Li Nuo asked again, "Did you tell her about your cultivation?"
Song Yiren shook her head and said, "No, I didn't even tell him what I wanted to ask, he just knew it was about cultivation."
Li Nuo paused, showing a look of astonishment.
He was aware of those Jianghu fraudster routines.
When young girls come for fortune-telling, eight or nine out of ten are about marriage.
If it's young couples, there's a great chance they're asking about descendants.
It's easy to scam money by mentioning meeting good matches or soon having children.
But knowing without asking that Yiren was inquiring about cultivation and seeing her cultivation level at a glance, she must have encountered a real Yin Yang Master.
And a High Realm one.
With Li Nuo's careful guidance and her own diligent cultivation, Yiren had already mastered various swordsmanship techniques. Her cultivation had progressed rapidly, touching the boundary of Grandmaster. If luck favors her, advancing within a year is not impossible.
Li Nuo asked, "Where is that elder now?"
Song Yiren shook her head and said, "He left right after the fortune-telling..."
Li Nuo inquired thoroughly, finding out that the old man had a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl with him.
Isn't that the Yin Yang Master he encountered in Daxia?
He really should thank him.
If it wasn't for his successful prophecy about Jiaren's pregnancy, which convinced Jiaren and Anning of his predictions about Li Nuo's future marriages, he and Yiren wouldn't be holding hands and appearing in Zhao Country's streets now.
Li Nuo did not go looking for him.
According to the Yin Yang Master's words, everything is predestined.
If they were fated to meet, it would happen sooner or later.
If they were not destined, forcing it would be futile.
Li Nuo looked at Yiren and asked, "What else did you ask him?"
Knowing Yiren, he was certain she wouldn't only inquire about one thing.
Song Yiren lowered her head and said, "No, he just calculated when I would break through, and then he left..."
Then she raised her head again and asked, "Will I really be able to break through to Grandmaster this year?"
Li Nuo encouraged her, "Don't worry, since he said so, it means that your breakthrough this year is predestined."
"Predestined..."
A slight smile appeared on Song Yiren's face. If breaking through to Grandmaster this year was predestined, then getting married this year was also predestined.
She decided to work harder on her cultivation, to reach Grandmaster as soon as possible, to verify if his calculation was true.
However, she then thought of something and curiously asked Li Nuo, "If I stopped cultivating right now, could I still break through to Grandmaster?"
Li Nuo shook his head and said, "It's down to personal effort. Even if it's in your fate, if you give up, your cultivation won't increase out of thin air."
This question had indeed puzzled many people before.
But predecessors had already verified that fate was not unchangeable.
The Yin Yang School was the key to affecting fate.
If a person's fate is to die at eighty peacefully, under normal circumstances, he can live until eighty.
But if the Yin Yang School tells him his fate and he commits suicide early, he cannot come back to life. Or if someone else knows his lifespan and deliberately sends someone to assassinate him, his fate will also end early.
That's why there is a saying, "Heaven's secrets must not be leaked."
Once fate is prematurely revealed, it is likely to be interfered with externally, thereby changing it.
Of course, there are also those from the Yin Yang School who believe that fate cannot be altered.
All actions that appear to change fate are within fate itself.
But these are not issues Li Nuo could explain. Throughout history, countless Yin Yang School masters have debated this for hundreds of years, driving many to madness, yet there is no universally accepted answer.
As Li Nuo and Yiren walked hand in hand back to the Embassy, an old man and a young boy on another street were walking slowly.
Another stealthy figure was trailing behind them.
This burly man had been following the grandfather and grandson for quite some time.
It was clear they were outsiders. The old man had a broken leg and could be sent to beg, and the little girl was beautiful and seemed innocent, capable of fetching a good price.
With these thoughts, he continued to approach the two.
But as he walked, he suddenly felt his steps growing heavier.
His waist and back inexplicably began to ache, his vision blurred, and suddenly, he stumbled and fell to the ground.
A passerby hurriedly helped him up and asked, "Old man, are you okay?"
"Old man?"
He heard the passerby's words and angrily grabbed the passerby's collar, displeased, "Open your dog eyes wide and see, where do I look like an old man..."
Before he could finish, his voice abruptly stopped.
He looked at his own shriveled hand, stunned.
His hand, why had it turned like this?
The good-hearted passerby, angered by being yelled at, lightly pushed him, causing the disrespectful old man to fall to the ground. Spitting on the ground, the passerby walked away briskly.
The old man, who had fallen to the ground, looked at his shriveled hands, touched his wrinkled face, not knowing why he had turned into this, was filled with infinite fear, his vision went dark, and he fainted... ƒгeeweɓn૦vel.com
At this moment, the grandfather and grandson had arrived in front of a mansion.
A middle-aged man had been waiting at the door for a long time.
He bowed to the grandfather and grandson and said, "Honored guests, please."
The old man showed no surprise and followed the middle-aged man into the mansion, passed through several doors, and entered a courtyard.
A thin, frail old man lay on a rocking chair in the courtyard.
He looked withered, with sparse hair and a face full of spots, laying there motionless, with only a faint rise and fall of his chest every so often, proving he was still alive.
Opposite the rocking chair was a chair.
The fortune-telling old man walked over, sat on that chair, and looked at the withered old man opposite, saying, "Old guy, not dead yet?"
The withered old man slowly opened his eyes, looked at him, and said, "Which one of us dies first is still uncertain."
The fortune-telling old man said, "Instead of being a good Yin Yang School master, you insisted on becoming a State Preceptor, revealing too many secrets. Who would die first if not you?"
The withered old man's face showed a hint of a mocking smile and said, "As a Yin Yang School master, if you neither dare to calculate this nor that, why be a Yin Yang School master? You might as well change your profession early..."
The two exchanged sarcastic remarks, neither gaining the upper hand.
Knowing that arguing would yield no results, the fortune-telling old man waved his hand and said, "Old man, I'm not here to banter. Besides seeing you for the last time, I have one question. At this point, do you still think fate cannot be changed?"
The withered old man's body looked like an oil lamp about to burn out, but his gaze remained clear as he slowly said, "Outside of fate is still fate..."
The two had different beliefs and had argued all their lives. The fortune-telling old man didn't want to debate further and coldly laughed, "Very well, I hope you still have this confidence when you meet that person..."
