On the illusory light screen, two lines of small characters slowly appeared.

Yun Si Ning's heart jumped into her throat.

When she finally saw the two lines of small print, she felt an eerie silence all around her, with only the pounding of her own heart in her ears.

It says this on it.

"You have been given two opportunities to ask questions and can answer any question."

Note: There are only two possible answers: 'yes' and 'no'.

A chance to answer questions...

Yun Si Ning suppressed her excitement and read the two lines of text several times, gradually gaining clarity of thought.

"It can answer any question, but it can only ask yes or no, which limits the questions to a specific range."

She pondered, a series of ideas flashing through her mind.

If she could ask anyone, she would definitely ask a question like, "How can I change my senior's tragic fate?"

However, since she could only ask yes or no questions, she had to consider it carefully.

How exactly should we ask the questions to resolve this predicament with the least amount of effort and the greatest possible benefit?

Yun Si Ning's brain was racing.

The biggest dilemma facing her now is naturally how to help her senior sister Qingyu escape her predicament at the disciples' assembly ten months from now.

After careful consideration, Yun Si Ning took out a pen and paper and listed several feasible questions.

1. "Can external intervention help my senior sister escape her original fate during this ordeal?"

This is actually a very important question, as it relates to whether Qingyu is completely beyond saving.

If the answer is no, then it means that the previous prophecy cannot be changed, and Qingyu's fate has already been determined.

If that's really the case...

Yun Si Ning was taken aback and quickly patted her cheeks.

"Pah, pah, pah! How could that be!"

Even if that were true, I wouldn't believe in fatalism. My fate is in my own hands, not in the hands of heaven!

Um... why did it catch fire?

Yun Si Ning brushed her disheveled hair aside and then wrote on the paper.

2. "Could Senior Sister rely on improving her cultivation to defeat Chai Yanchen, a disciple of the Four Symbols Divine Sect, head-on, and thus change her fate?"

This issue is mainly to avoid some extreme situations.

Yun Si Ning had once imagined that, given her senior sister's strength, no younger spiritual cultivator should be able to defeat her head-on, and she might even "die a miserable death" in the end.

So Yun Si Ning wondered if there was something else going on with Chai Yan Chen on the other side.

Either he has some shady dealings, or the Four Symbols Divine Sect has some conspiracy to assassinate Qingyu.

If that's the case, unless Qingyu has the strength of Hua Yuncang, it's meaningless.

This is also an important question, and Yun Si Ning decided to consider it as an alternative.

She thought for a moment, then continued writing on the paper.

3. Will the Four Symbols Divine Sect use any underhanded tactics to harm the disciples of Sword Screen Mountain at this disciple gathering?

4. "Was there a traitor within Jianping Mountain who led to Senior Sister's tragic death?"

5. "Could seeking help from Elder Jianping Mountain change Senior Sister's fate?"

6. "Would forcibly preventing the senior sister from attending the disciple assembly have prevented the original outcome?"

…… ……

Yun Si Ning listed more than a dozen items in one go.

She picked up the paper, leaned back in her chair wearily, and held it above her head to examine it closely.

Too many problems, too few opportunities, it's so difficult...

It's no exaggeration to say that the senior sister's chance to change her original fate may lie in these two questions.

After a long period of careful consideration, Yun Si Ning let out a long breath and made a decision.

She's taking a gamble. If she succeeds, she might only need to use one chance to save her senior sister. If she fails...

Oh dear, oh dear, let's talk about it later if we bet wrong!

Yun Si Ning shook her head vigorously to clear her mind of distractions.

She raised her hand and summoned the light screen again.

She reached out and touched the light screen, and said in a deep voice.

"I have a question."

Instantly, the screen responded, the pale blue illusory text standing out starkly in the dark room.

"Please ask your question."

"If Senior Sister successfully finds the place described in that ancient scroll and inherits the other party's legacy and essence, will it help her change her original tragic fate?"

As soon as the question was asked, Yun Si Ning held her breath and stared intently at the light screen.

Her question is actually quite radical because it involves several premises.

First, my senior's fate can be changed.

Secondly, the ancient scroll she obtained was genuine, and the senior Si Yiqi was indeed a real person.

Third, the other party actually placed their inheritance and essence in the place marked on the ancient scroll.

Fourth, no one took those things beforehand, so the senior sister could get them when she arrived.

These prerequisites are all indispensable in this problem.

It appears to be one question, but it actually asks for six unknown pieces of information.

Yun Si Ning didn't know what kind of response the system would give if the premise was wrong.

The result could very well be a wasted opportunity with no gain whatsoever.

So, she's gambling.

Those few seconds felt like an eternity to Yun Si Ning.

Finally, a change appeared on the light screen.

"yes"

A single, simple word, yet it resounded like a thunderclap in Yun Si Ning's mind.

"Yes...yes..."

A fleeting look of disbelief crossed her eyes, as if her mind had momentarily paused for a second.

Immediately afterwards, this disbelief was quickly replaced by a surge of overwhelming ecstasy.
