Yun Zhiyi frowned. "What about the person who hurt you? Is he still alive?"
Fu Tingchen was personally trained by the retired emperor, so his martial arts skills were naturally quite good.
Even if one is momentarily careless while saving someone on the battlefield, it shouldn't be enough to almost lose one's life at the hands of a mere soldier.
Therefore, that person must be suspicious; perhaps they were already waiting to lure you into their trap.
Fu Tingchen's eyes darkened slightly. "He's dead. He wasn't an ordinary soldier; he seemed more like a江湖人 (jianghu person, someone from the martial arts world). I originally intended to capture him alive for interrogation, but just then a group of soldiers from Xiling rushed over, and he was killed in the chaos."
"Have you checked the other party's identity?" Yun Zhiyi asked.
Fu Tingchen shook his head. "By the time they found him, he had been trampled into the mud and was unrecognizable. All that was known was his military identity, and there was nothing unusual about him."
Yun Zhiyi sighed.
Since there's no way to verify the truth since the person is dead, and there's only one identity, anything can be said, so naturally there's nothing unusual about it.
"So, among the other wounded generals, did they also contract the cold evil energy from you, including the generals of Xiling, or is it only you who has this problem?"
Fu Tingchen pursed his lips, his expression cold and stern, and nodded slightly, "Only me."
Yun Zhiyi understood.
It seems that this conspiracy may be aimed at Fu Tingchen.
However, Fu Tingchen was not only the commander-in-chief, but also the third prince of the Great Dynasty, who was most valued by the emperor.
Killing him would also achieve the goal of making the two countries irreconcilable enemies, so it is also possible that the other party's purpose is to provoke conflict between the two countries.
Of course, under normal circumstances, she might be more inclined to provoke a war between the two countries.
But now, she has a feeling that the conspiracy is aimed at Fu Tingchen.
But why target Fu Tingchen? What's so special about him?
First, Fu Tingchen has a grandfather who is at the peak of the Innate Realm and was once the leader of the martial arts alliance. Perhaps this identity has been exposed, or perhaps he has collected something related to the breakthrough.
Therefore, targeting his most valued grandson might be motivated by a desire to threaten his life.
Second, Fu Tingchen was the emperor's most favored prince, the eldest son of the empress, and held military power.
Barring any unforeseen circumstances, the position of crown prince will most likely be his.
Therefore, it is possible that a prince who wanted to use this opportunity to take action against him was instead used by others.
Third, Fu Tingchen's fate is too strange, bearing both national destiny and misfortune. Is this related to the fate of the world?
If he is the key figure in resolving the crisis, then it is understandable that those who are eyeing this world covetously would want to take action against him.
Yun Zhiyi meticulously analyzed all the special circumstances surrounding Fu Tingchen.
Ultimately, it all came down to his strange, unpredictable luck.
Based on her experience in completing missions, people with extraordinary luck are definitely key figures in the world.
Not to mention Fu Tingchen's strange luck.
'Zero One One, is it possible that time travel has ever occurred in this world?'
Theoretically speaking, only a world consciousness at the Heavenly level or higher can reverse time, and even then, it causes significant damage to the foundation. It's only used as a last resort. If the Cloud Ripple Realm were still at the Heavenly level five thousand years ago, it might be possible, but after its decline, it's unlikely.
After saying that, it asked in confusion, 'Why does the host ask that? What have you discovered?'
Yun Zhiyi did not respond, still pondering to herself.
Fu Tingchen's luck is very unreasonable. He is blessed with the great national fortune. He is either the embodiment of the national fortune or he has made a great contribution to the country.
For example, to save the world from collapse, one needs the faith of the people in order to receive the blessing of national fortune.
Extreme misfortune is the complete opposite.
These two shouldn't appear together unless there was a time rewind in between, in which case it's possible.
Luck is a mysterious thing; it doesn't disappear with the passage of time.
But Ling Yaoyao's words plunged her into confusion again.
Of course, another possibility cannot be ruled out.
That means Fu Tingchen is someone who has been reborn through possession.
The original body carried the fate of the nation, while the soul carried a curse.
Looking at the person in front of her, her intuition told her that it shouldn't be a case of possession.
The room fell silent for a moment.
Fu Tingchen lowered his eyes, letting her look him over from all angles, remaining unmoved, and didn't ask her why she was asking about this today.
After a short while, Yun Zhiyi stood up and said, "I have no other questions. Thank you for your explanation."
Fu Tingchen also stood up, "Then I shall take my leave."
Yun Zhiyi raised an eyebrow. "Aren't you curious why I'm asking these questions?"
Fu Tingchen's expression remained unchanged. "If the master is willing to tell me, he will."
Yun Zhiyi curled her lips, then suddenly asked, "Now that you've recovered, you haven't returned to the capital or taken command of the army for so long. Aren't you afraid that someone will poach your man and you'll lose your position as crown prince?"
Fu Tingchen raised his eyes, his gaze still calm, but the sharpness and confidence in his eyes were revealed without being shown.
"The capable shall occupy the position."
Yun Zhiyi chuckled, "Your Highness Prince Cheng is quite confident."
She took out a small jade bottle and tossed it to him.
"You should be close to a breakthrough, so consider this a thank you gift for answering my questions today."
After saying that, without waiting for Fu Tingchen's reaction, he waved his hand to indicate that he could leave, and then turned around and left through the back door.
Back inside, she let out a soft breath, her brow furrowing unconsciously.
As more and more clues emerge, more and more questions arise.
She turned around and went back to the space, to the grassland, to sort out the clues with Nine-Tailed Fox and the others.
"There is actually another possibility regarding the duality of destiny."
A cute, childlike voice suddenly rang out, carrying a hint of softness and adorableness from just waking up.
Yun Zhiyi turned her head to look.
Then they saw a small white jade sprout peeking out from the top of the Ice Demon Dragon Lion's head.
That was one of Yun Zhiyi's contracted pets in a certain cultivation world, a ten-thousand-year-old mutated spirit marrow worm.
It looks like a miniature white snake, with light golden patterns on its smooth, white jade-like body.
When still, it looks like a delicate work of art.
The Spirit Marrow Worm is lazy by nature and prefers to hide and sleep in the spiritual veins.
When it is dormant, it will automatically absorb spiritual energy and then feed it back. The fed-back spiritual energy will be even purer, making the spiritual energy in the spiritual vein not only more abundant but also purer, thus simultaneously improving the level of the spiritual vein.
After being contracted, the Spirit Essence Worm spends most of its time sleeping in the space unless it is needed.
It's quite rare for someone to suddenly wake up and reply with such a sentence.
Yun Zhiyi hurriedly asked, "What do you mean?"
"Plundering one's luck means taking another person's luck and transferring it to oneself, or transferring the luck attached to something to oneself. However, you say that his two kinds of luck are in balance, with the national luck even slightly suppressing the bad luck. But nothing has happened in this world that could cause such extreme misfortune to appear in the other person's body. Perhaps someone forcibly transferred the bad luck into his body, or perhaps someone else, in order to protect him, tied his fate to the national luck, using the national luck to suppress the bad luck."
Nine-Tailed Fox also said, "Ordinary cultivators can't do something like that, unless they are..."
She pointed upwards with one of her tails.
“Actually, I think what you said about rewinding time before, Ayi, might not be impossible. The rules are ever-changing and there are no standards. Even if it’s not at the Heavenly level, there might be some secret method.”
