The young novice monk behind Master Yixin stepped forward, bowed, and accepted the silver note. Master Yixin then chanted a Buddhist prayer: "Benefactor, your wish has been fulfilled because of your good deeds, which have yielded good results."

Su Ruojin also had Yanluo hand over the silver notes. Jinming Temple had a very good reputation in Yanyang. Every year in the cold winter months, the temple would distribute porridge to help the homeless.

Master Yixin bowed slightly to the group again: "Would you two benefactors like to draw a fortune stick? This humble monk will interpret it for you."

Jinming Temple is very popular, and Master Yixin usually doesn't interpret fortune sticks for people easily. Now that he has offered to do so, Madam Zhong is naturally willing.

"Xiao Jin, why don't you draw a fortune stick too? The fortune sticks from Jinming Temple are very accurate."

Unable to resist Madam Zhong's insistence, Su Ruojin also knelt in front of the Buddha statue and shook the divination sticks.

The two handed the drawn lots to Master Yixin.

Madam Zhong drew the best fortune slip: "A secret pregnancy brings joy, a unicorn is bestowed by heaven, the family prospers and enjoys great fortune, generations will be prosperous and peaceful."

Master Yixin smiled slightly: "Congratulations, Madam, on the birth of your son. With careful nurturing, he will surely become an outstanding person in the future."

Upon hearing this, Madam Zhong couldn't suppress her smile: "Yingchun, quick, donate some more money for incense oil."

Her biggest concern right now is the baby in her womb. According to Master Yixin, she is carrying a boy who will grow up to be a dragon or a phoenix. This is the wish of every parent, so how could she not be happy?

When Master Yixin saw the fortune slip handed to him by Su Ruojin, he was slightly taken aback and remained silent for a long time.

Su Ruojin asked in confusion, "Master, is there something wrong with this fortune slip?"

Master Yixin looked at Su Ruojin and said, "Young lady, since you're here, make the best of it. Everything in this world is predestined. If you do good and follow your heart, you will surely have great fortune. Amitabha."

Su Ruojin's heart stirred slightly. Since she was already here, she might as well make the best of it. Where did she come from?

Did Master Yixin realize that she was a soul from another world?

Since waking up in this life, Su Ruojin has realized that there are many things in this world that are beyond her understanding, and she has developed a greater sense of awe for the unknown.

She wanted to ask something more, but Master Yixin had already turned and left.

Su Ruojin caught up with him: "Master, could you please explain to my daughter what the meaning of 'since we're here, let's make the best of it' is?"

Master Yixin smiled slightly: "Benefactor, there is no need to be too concerned about comings and goings. In this world, everything comes and goes, and all things have their own destiny. The young phoenix hides its tail in the forest, but one day its cry will shake the whole country."

After saying this, Master Yixin turned and left, leaving Su Ruojin deep in thought.

The young novice monk following behind Master Yixin couldn't help but ask out of curiosity, "Master, what kind of fortune slip did that young lady draw?"

Master Yixin said, "Zero lot."

The young novice was stunned; how come he didn't know there was a zero-number lottery?

"Master, is this fortune stick a good or bad omen?"

“Wunian, you are attached to appearances. There is no such thing as good or bad in the world. Everything is in people’s hearts. This girl’s fate is shrouded in mist, yet it is tied to the rise and fall of the Great Chu. I cannot fully comprehend it for the time being.”

Upon seeing Su Ruojin return, Madam Zhong hurriedly asked, "Xiaojin, what did Master Yixin say?"

Su Ruojin shook her head: "The master told me not to worry too much, everything has its own destiny."

Madam Zhong sighed, "That's right. If I hadn't met you, I wouldn't be where I am today. It's all fate."

Although it was already April, the temperature in the mountains was still a bit cool, so Madam Zhong went back to her room to rest early.

Su Ruojin, accompanied by Yanluo, strolled casually towards the back of the temple.

The air in the mountains is always much fresher than in the city.

Just then, a surprised voice rang out: "Cousin Ruojin, is that you? Cousin Ruojin?"

Su Ruojin turned her head to look at the source of the sound, her eyes darkening. How could it be them!
