Jiang Feng looked at the fat man in front of him seriously and asked, "Who is your master? Where is your sect located?"
Fatty Qiu swallowed the spicy liquor with a gulp, then wiped his lips and slowly spoke, "Our sect has always kept a low profile. In the vast and mysterious world of cultivation, we rarely show our faces or travel around. My master is none other than the renowned Elder Tianji. His divination skills are unparalleled, and he's hard to find a rival in the entire world of cultivation! But our sect is too small. Including this insignificant disciple like me, there are only a mere five of us."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Feng couldn't help but stare at the chubby guy in front of him in astonishment, thinking to himself: A sect with only five people? This is really unheard of!
After a brief silence, Jiang Feng calmed down and asked Fatty Qiu, "So, what are your plans next?"
Fatty Qiu grinned and answered without hesitation, "Why ask? Of course I'll be following you closely, Daoist Friend Jiang!"
Jiang Feng smiled slightly after hearing this and asked, "Don't you know? I have many enemies in the martial arts world, and my enemies are everywhere. If you insist on following me, aren't you afraid of being implicated and getting into trouble?"
Fatty Qiu burst into laughter again upon hearing this, patting his round belly and saying loudly, "Hahahaha, don't worry, Fellow Daoist Jiang! I've been wandering the martial arts world for so many years, so I naturally have a unique set of life-saving methods and means. Those little troubles can't do anything to me!"
Jiang Feng frowned slightly, thinking for a moment before responding, "That being said, I didn't agree to let you stay by my side forever. Besides, I've always liked to roam the world alone, I'm used to being free, and I'm really not used to having someone accompany me. Besides, even if you do have some so-called great opportunity as your master said, it doesn't seem to bring any substantial benefits to me, right?"
Hearing this, Fatty Qiu, seeing that Jiang Feng was about to turn and leave, could not help but feel extremely anxious. He quickly shouted, "Stop, Fellow Daoist Jiang! Listen to me. Although I cannot accurately predict the direction of your future fortune, as long as I can always be by your side, I can use divination to predict your own fate and then infer whether your current situation is dangerous! Wouldn't that be helpful to you as well?"
Jiang Feng thought this made perfect sense, and the fat man's divination skills were indeed remarkable. There was no harm in having him around. Jiang Feng stared at Fatty Qiu with a sharp gaze and warned him again solemnly, "Fatty Qiu, let me be frank. I've made it clear to you beforehand! If you dare resort to any underhanded tactics or do anything to my detriment, don't blame me for being ruthless. I will absolutely not show you the slightest bit of mercy! Also, regarding this divination technique, you must explain to me the ins and outs of it."
Hearing this, Fatty Qiu was slightly startled at first, then he showed an expression of pretending to be profound and mysterious on his face. He slowly opened his mouth and said in a low and mysterious tone: "The practitioners in our sect are all people chosen by God! They usually practice to understand the various mysteries of heaven and earth. With this profound practice, they can not only know all kinds of things that happened in the past, but even foresee what will happen in the future. According to my master, everyone has their own unique destiny since they came to this world. No matter right or wrong, love or hatred, everything has actually been destined. It's settled. Even matters as crucial as life and death are predetermined by what's called destiny, and there's no way to change them. However, the Dao Heart, upheld by our sect, demands that while we understand destiny, we also strive to break free from the limitations and constraints of fate, thereby finding our true selves in this vast and uncharted avenue. But…" Fatty Qiu paused, gave Jiang Feng a meaningful look, and continued, "My master once mentioned that you are a significant exception. Even a highly respected senior like him, with profound Daoist accomplishments, couldn't fathom your fate."
After hearing these words, Jiang Feng couldn't help but fall into deep thought, muttering to himself softly: "Is everything really predetermined? Humph! I don't think so! In this vast universe, all living things should have the right to control their own life and death. How can there be such a thing as destiny? Even if the road ahead of me is a rugged, thorny and dangerous one, I will not fear or retreat! Even if the sky tries to block me, I will not hesitate to swing my sword to cut the sky and split the earth!"
After hearing Jiang Feng's words, Fatty Qiu fell into deep thought.
A moment later, the two left the cave and headed towards the Misty Forest. Before setting off, Fatty Qiu had a fortune-teller read for himself, which indicated that this trip to the Misty Forest would be fraught with danger, a dilemma of life or death!
However, despite facing numerous difficulties and uncertainties, Jiang Feng, after careful consideration, still resolutely chose to embark on this journey full of unknowns and dangers. Because the lingering sense of unease in his heart always lingered in his heart, making him worry about the life and death of everyone in Huoyun Village all the time.
