"Could it be... that if a woman makes a mistake and marries the wrong man, she has to suffer for the rest of her life? Mr. Gao also said that fate doesn't necessarily require two people to be together. Is it not even possible to give Guo Xiaomei a little bit of hope?" This was the voice of the little female ghost Qin Su.
"It is the natural order for a woman to remain faithful to one man until death; those who harbor lustful desires deserve to die!" This was the Three-Headed Ghost King speaking again.
"Hey! We're discussing something, you can't resort to violence, and you can't scare us either!" Wang Yao shouted.
"Yes, yes, yes! Fate and reason are two different things. Reason is for people to follow. If fate were the same as reason, what would be the point of reason? Wouldn't all men and women in the human world become puppets? I hate you guys who only know how to fight and kill..."
This was the group leader calling out.
"I love fighting and killing the most! You dare to hate me? I'll make sure you never have the chance to hate me again!" A rough voice shouted. The fairy was stunned. It was Li Kui beside her who was yelling.
A dark shadow flashed in the human realm's fortune-telling archives, and the Three-Headed Ghost King instantly leaped out of the door. He first looked at Li Kui, then at the fairy maiden who followed, and only then did the expression on his face soften.
"What are you arguing about without knowing the situation?" Fairy Maiden scolded Li Kui, then stepped forward. The Three-Headed Ghost King hurriedly stepped aside to let Fairy Maiden enter the Human Realm Fate Archives.
Qin Su was sitting in front of the computer, while Wang Yao, Hui Shuo, and Gao Qunzhu were standing in the room. The computer was surrounded by a jumble of papers, some filled with writing and others blank.
"What are you doing?" the fairy asked in astonishment.
"Fairy, your arrival is just in time. We were discussing Molopo's fate. Molopo is a mortal from the human realm, and my mission here is to resolve this matter. Here's what happened..."
Upon seeing the fairy, Wang Yao hurriedly explained to her the mission of the lone traveler and the problems he encountered in modifying Molupo's destiny.
"...Since Moloppo was destined to be entangled in romantic affairs, I arranged for more than twenty women of similar age to have various emotional entanglements with him, and even some who were older than him..."
"You only arranged for people younger than him. If I hadn't insisted, you wouldn't have arranged for anyone older than him!" Group Leader Gao interrupted from the side.
“Let’s not discuss that. Didn’t I accept your opinion that age discrimination is unacceptable? But don’t you think Guo Xiaomei’s age is too much? Seven or eight years older. Even if there’s no problem with Guo Xiaomei, and she can be loved, how could Mo Luopo possibly fall in love with her?”
"That doesn't make sense!" Wang Yao argued.
"Why not? Let me tell you, Xiao Wang, you have a sexist mindset. If you want to find a partner in the immortal realm, let me tell you this: the youngest fairy in the immortal realm right now is old enough to be your great-grandmother. What? Are you planning to remain a bachelor forever?"
The fairy maiden was displeased upon hearing Wang Yao's words.
“We’re discussing matters of the human realm, not immortals of the celestial realm. Mortals age easily, and women age especially quickly. This is a physiological phenomenon. Can we please stop making sweeping generalizations?” Wang Yao was also displeased.
"Nonsense! In the human realm, do women or men live longer? And women age faster? And what about physiological phenomena? And what about big labels? I say you're discriminating against women! You're absolutely right!" The fairy glared at him, her finger almost touching Wang Yao's nose.
"Fairy... Fairy Maiden, Brother Wang... Brother Wang didn't mean that. He was mainly considering the rationality. We were talking about the possibility. There's been a misunderstanding..." Qin Su hurriedly stood up and stammered an explanation for Wang Yao when she saw the Fairy Maiden's expression change.
"Hey! Which side are you on? We were on the same page just now!" Group Leader Gao hurriedly called out. Fortunately, Qin Su had spoken up for him during the previous argument, otherwise he would have been isolated.
Moreover, he could also see that Wang Yao still cared a lot about Qin Su's opinion, so when he saw Qin Su waver, Gao Qunzhu immediately became nervous.
"You silly girl, even if you want to like a man like that, you should cleanse his mind of all bad thoughts first. I'm trying to help you, but you're helping him instead?" The fairy priestess scolded Qin Su with exasperation.
"I...I..." Qin Su's face immediately turned red, and she stammered, unable to speak.
"We were discussing Molupo's fortune telling, how did it get to me?" Wang Yao said helplessly. He originally thought that the fairy maiden's arrival would help him, but unexpectedly, she gained a powerful ally, and his originally high morale couldn't help but wane.
"What are you doing here?" Li Kui entered the fortune-telling archives, ignoring the content of everyone's argument, and stared at Wang Yao for a long time before suddenly taking off his sunglasses and asking.
He naturally recognized Wang Yao, just a minor immortal who had recently taken over as the Old Man of the Moon. He had a grudge against the Old Man of the Moon and had planned to take action against him at the South Heavenly Gate Customs Administration, but unexpectedly, the kid grabbed the Heavenly Emperor's display board and managed to get away with it.
Not only was this kid completely unharmed, but he himself had almost been sent by Director Mo to be tormented by the patrol generals. He had been holding a grudge about this ever since, and when he saw Wang Yao now, he felt like an enemy meeting with intense hatred.
"Director Li, I'm investigating fortune telling here." Wang Yao had already seen Li Kui, but he pretended not to notice him and was discussing Molupo's fortune telling with everyone. At this moment, Li Kui asked directly, and Wang Yao could only answer with a smile.
"Investigating fate and destiny, what does that have to do with us catching the real culprit of this great calamity?" Li Kui turned to look at the fairy maiden in astonishment.
"Come, come, let me introduce you. This is Xiao Wang, Wang Yao, the current matchmaker and a member of our investigation team. This is Li Kui, the director of the security department of the Nantianmen Customs Administration. You... should know each other, right?" The fairy looked at the expressions of both sides and asked with a slight hesitation.
Of course, the fairy knew that Wang Yao and Li Kui knew each other. Li Kui was clearly recommended to the fairy by Wang Yao. Moreover, she knew that the two of them probably didn't have a good relationship, otherwise Wang Yao wouldn't have recommended Li Kui to be the scapegoat for the team.
However, the fairy was unaware of the past conflict between Wang Yao and Li Kui. Seeing that the two men looked rather hostile, she tried to smooth things over by introducing them.
"Of course I know him, of course I know him. I didn't expect Director Li to be on our team. Oh, I'll have to ask Director Li for guidance in the future!" Unexpectedly, Wang Yao suddenly smiled and stepped forward.
“My lady, I’m not exaggerating, but Director Li is a truly capable immortal in the Heavenly Court. He’s principled and skilled. He can chop down immortals with those two big axes with incredible efficiency. I was initially worried that the task of capturing the real culprit of the great calamity would be too stressful, but I didn’t expect you to recruit Director Li into the team.”
"With him here, those real culprits will definitely have nowhere to escape. Oh, Director Li, seeing you has finally put my mind at ease." Wang Yao turned to the fairy maiden and then to Li Kui, showering him with praise.
Li Kui originally intended to turn hostile. He was just a minor immortal, not in the Heavenly Court. He could just hit him and what would happen if he killed him? Would the patrolling heavenly generals take his life in return? But unexpectedly, Wang Yao praised him, and he couldn't swallow his pride anymore.
He puffed out his chest, thinking to himself, "This kid knows how to handle things. As the saying goes, you don't hit a smiling face. Since he's flattering me like this, I guess I'll just have to hold onto this grudge for now and deal with it later."
