After destroying Jinluo City, his fate had already changed.
Even the most skilled fortune teller cannot discern the predetermined fate within the nine numbers of his destiny palace. Now, even the world's strongest fortune teller, when looking at Ye Xingchen's destiny, would only feel as if he could see through fire but not flowers in the fog.
Human destiny, and the fate of all things in the world, may have been predetermined from the moment the universe was born.
However, Ye Xingchen slaughtered Jinluo City, drawing countless malevolent energies into his fate, so his destiny is no longer predetermined.
"Thank you, Qianyu. I know what to do now." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly at Si Qianyu.
"By the way, we've got news about Ruochu," Si Qianyu said. "She was slightly injured that day and is now in a quiet Buddhist retreat, so you don't need to worry about her."
"Is she really alright?" Ye Xingchen was overjoyed.
On that day, Su Ruochu fought a fierce battle with the second city lord of Jinluo City. At the last moment, she had no choice but to use her own blood to invigorate the Black Lotus, which was extremely dangerous.
That mysterious black lotus was itself transformed from an ancient, ferocious creature.
It constantly sought to break free from its own seal, and Si Qianyu's use of blood to invigorate it was tantamount to opening a door for it.
If this door isn't closed in time, and Si Qianyu's consciousness is taken over by it, that would be extremely dangerous.
Hearing that Si Qianyu was alright, Ye Xingchen breathed a sigh of relief.
“It’s alright, she’s currently cultivating at Sanxian Mountain,” Si Qianyu said.
"Sanxian Mountain, Bai Yingyun?" Ye Xingchen was slightly taken aback.
"right."
Ye Xingchen nodded. Bai Yingyun had taken vows and practiced Buddhism at Sanxian Mountain. Her life itself was a tragedy, but after entering the path of Zen practice, she became transcendent in body and mind, and her progress in Zen practice was rapid.
She once said that Si Qianyu was going through a mental ordeal, and if she fell into it and couldn't get out, she should definitely go to Sanxian Mountain to find her.
It now seems that Su Ruochu's fierce battle was the inner demon tribulation that Bai Yingyun had mentioned.
Ye Xingchen didn't want Su Ruochu to get involved in what followed, so he decided to handle it himself.
Ye Xingchen then bid farewell to Liu Xuesong.
“I’ve already released Li Zhenye, but don’t worry, I’ll have someone keep an eye on him. If he shows any abnormality, I’ll have him tied up immediately.” Liu Xuesong said with a smile, “I originally wanted to keep you here for a while longer, but your matter is more important.”
"There'll be plenty of time later. Don't forget the two drinks you owe me." Ye Xingchen smiled.
"Don't worry, I won't forget. We'll have a good drink when we get back to Yanjing." Liu Xuesong paused, his expression complicated, and said, "You're going to Nanjing?"
"I have to go." Ye Xingchen nodded.
“You have to go, but Jinling is Liang’s territory, and there will inevitably be a conflict between you and Liang Er.” Liu Xuesong said, “The Liang family in Jinling is powerful and influential, and Liang Er has an unclear relationship with that ship in international waters.”
"As the saying goes, 'a single hair can affect the whole body,' so you must be careful."
"Understood, thanks for the reminder." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly, then gave Liu Xuesong a bear hug and got into a military vehicle.
Yushan is far on the border, so it takes hundreds of miles to travel north to reach the station.
Ye Xingchen had to make several detours to reach Jinling. As Prison Mountain receded into the distance, Ye Xingchen's heart couldn't help but feel complicated.
Going to Jinling will surely mean another fierce battle.
There are also many connections between the Liang family of Jinling and the Dawuxiang Temple.
He didn't know what role the Liang family of Jinling played in all of this, but one thing was certain: a confrontation with the Liang family was inevitable.
After several transfers, I finally boarded the high-speed train heading north.
Unable to get a business class seat, Ye Xingchen closed his eyes to rest in a first-class seat.
At the next stop, a few people got on.
These men had dark skin and deep-set eyes; judging from their gazes, they were likely police officers, though they were dressed in plainclothes.
Moreover, among the three police officers was a man whose hands were covered by his clothes, and he looked dejected.
His hands, which were covered by his clothes, were handcuffed.
Without further ado, the arrest was carried out across districts.
Several police officers switched seats and surrounded the arrested criminal.
The high-speed train has already started moving. There aren't many people in the carriage. Most passengers are either resting with their eyes closed or playing on their phones with the volume turned down to the lowest setting.
The plainclothes officers remained vigilant. They had finally managed to capture this notorious thief after traveling hundreds of kilometers across different regions, and they were terrified that something might go wrong.
As it was lunchtime, the flight attendants started pushing carts and selling boxed meals.
The boxed meals on the high-speed train are really not cheap, and they are both expensive and unpalatable, mostly pre-made dishes.
At that moment, the man who had been arrested shouted, "I want to eat something."
"Didn't you already eat before getting on the bus? Why do you need to eat again?" The leader, a plainclothes officer in his thirties, frowned.
"I'm not full, I'm hungry now." The man said shamelessly.
Although this guy was handcuffed, he didn't seem flustered at all. This kind of person is either a regular at the police station or someone who is fearless and has nothing to fear.
"Why all the fuss? We'll be there in two hours. Just bear with being hungry," the plainclothes officer in charge snapped.
"I don't care, I'm hungry. Even if I've been arrested, I still have human rights. If you police don't give me food, I'll file a complaint against you." The man retorted.
"Liu Fugui, I'm warning you, don't cause me any trouble." The plainclothes officer was furious, pointing at the man and saying, "You haven't explained what you did yet."
"Look, everyone! The police are abusing people! They're not feeding me and they're threatening me!" Liu Fugui suddenly stood up and shouted, "Even if I've committed a crime, I still have human rights! Look at this abuse!"
"What are you doing? Sit down and behave yourself." Several plainclothes officers stood up and forced Liu Fugui into a chair.
Even after being forced back into a chair, Liu Fugui continued to shout, "I'm going to report you! You're using excessive force! Everyone, record a video! The police are beating people! The police are beating people!"
As expected, his shout drew the attention of everyone in the carriage.
A girl took out her phone and started recording, while simultaneously stopping the police: "What are you doing? Stop it right now."
"We are enforcing the law, please do not record." After restraining Liu Fugui, the leader of the group stepped forward to stop the girl.
“I am a student at Jinling Law School. Your violent enforcement is unreasonable. Even criminals have human rights.” While recording, the girl warned the plainclothes officers who came forward: “I am a citizen and have the right to supervise you. Don’t touch my phone.”
"Also, please show me your identification."
The plainclothes officer in charge was helpless. He had no choice but to deal with such a difficult person. He flashed his police ID: "Zhang Qiao, Xishui Branch. This is my ID. This is also the arrest warrant. The criminal Liu Fugui is suspected of trafficking children and women. We are arresting him in accordance with the law. Please do not interfere with our law enforcement."
