When a Child of Fortune Returns, It Is Either to Repay a Debt or Seek Revenge
"This whole matter was my fault."
As Gong Jiulong said this, his eyes were filled with complicated feelings, as well as guilt and anger!
"An old friend of mine once told me he had a disciple who was a dragon among men."
"That time, I never expected to get drunk and fall into that fellow's trap."
"And then the marriage was arranged."
"I thought he was joking before, but I never expected it to be real."
"I'm the head of the Gong Family. Since I already made the decision, there's no changing it. It's just that Xin'er has been put in a difficult position."
"Grandfather, I'm not in a difficult position. Aren't things quite good now? I don't have to leave the Gong Family either."
"From now on, I can stay by your side."
"Xin'er, sigh."
Gong Jiulong and the old madam sighed.
Di Juetian sneered inwardly.
There was probably more to this matter than met the eye.
After all, the moment he saw Zhao Wuji, the system had spoken up. This was a Child of Fortune.
Name: Zhao Wuji Identity: Matrilocal son-in-law of the Gong Family, Child of Fortune Strength: None (soul fusion in progress) Cultivation technique: None yet Heavenly Mandate Value: 20,000
Looking at this Child of Fortune with 20,000 Heavenly Mandate Value, Di Juetian would have been lying if he said he wasn't coveting it.
However, after seeing this Child of Fortune's condition, Di Juetian was also curious.
His soul was fusing. He didn't know whether he had transmigrated, whether a powerful expert had been reborn, or whether it was something else!
When a Child of Fortune was reborn, it was either to repay a debt or seek revenge.
Judging by the way Zhao Wuji looked at Gong Xin, there should be some melodramatic story between them.
For now, however, Di Juetian wasn't focusing his attention on the Child of Fortune.
At that moment, Gong Jiulong took out a jade plate.
"The Yin-Yang Divine Fruits have ripened and can be picked now."
"After a million years, there are only three."
Hearing this, Di Juetian was curious too. After all, when the Gong Family transplanted the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit, it had formed a secret realm of its own.
Of course, Di Juetian wasn't curious about the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit, but about the secret realm!
It was also called the Yin-Yang Secret Realm.
The Yin-Yang Divine Fruit could nourish both the soul and the body. And looking at the Child of Fortune's current condition...
Clearly, this thing was a stepping stone for the Child of Fortune.
"Go on in."
Gong Jiulong said.
"Let's go."
Gong Xin said as well.
After all, the Lineage had promised to give Zhao Wuji one.
After watching the three enter, Gong Jiulong sighed.
I don't know if anything unusual has appeared inside. I keep feeling that this secret realm has changed.
"I just don't know what this change is."
Gong Jiulong had a bad feeling, but he couldn't put his finger on it.
After the three entered,
and saw the demonic beasts appearing around them,
they froze for a moment.
Then Di Juetian stuck out his foot.
Zhao Wuji was caught off guard and kicked straight out,
landing among the demonic beasts.
Gong Xin's expression changed. She came to her senses and looked at Di Juetian, just about to question him,
when her expression suddenly changed again.
Zhao Wuji actually possessed a little strength now.
Di Juetian sneered when he saw it.
He hadn't expected it to be just as he had imagined. When faced with danger, a Child of Fortune's soul would fuse extremely quickly.
Only by breaking could one be rebuilt. That sort of thing suited a Child of Fortune. If it were a villain, they would suffer Qi deviation and be doomed to die.
When Zhao Wuji was kicked away unawares, his expression changed. He didn't know whether Di Juetian had done it deliberately or by accident.
But he truly couldn't fend off the demonic beasts in front of him. He looked at Di Juetian with anger.
This sneaky bastard—I can't believe him!
Seeing the demonic beasts charging at him,
Zhao Wuji's expression changed.
Gong Xin had already made her move.
"You can cultivate now?"
Seeing that Zhao Wuji had suddenly gained a little strength, Gong Xin was shocked. She asked with a smile on her face!
After all, this fellow had always been trash.
He hadn't been able to cultivate before and had hoped to rely on the Yin-Yang Divine Fruit.
Zhao Wuji had said that his soul had been damaged, which was why he couldn't cultivate.
Although that explanation was a little far-fetched.
After all, even a fool could sharpen his spear.
"I told you before, my soul was damaged."
Di Juetian noticed something: when Zhao Wuji came to this secret realm, he had a nostalgic look on his face.
It was as though he was somewhat familiar with the secret realm.
"A powerful expert reborn?"
Di Juetian's eyes were thoughtful.
"Cousin, go on ahead. His condition seems a little off to me."
Hearing this, Gong Xin looked worried.
But then she remembered that Di Juetian was stronger than her, and that he also seemed to have kicked Zhao Wuji deliberately just now.
At that thought, Gong Xin looked at Zhao Wuji apologetically.
If Di Juetian could see what was wrong with Zhao Wuji, that would be good too.
Her grandfather had once said, "Of your generation, Juetian will become someone you'll find hard to surpass."
Zhao Wuji came to his senses and looked at Zhao Wuji, his eyes flickering almost imperceptibly.
Then,
without betraying anything, he glanced at Gong Xin and gave him a reassuring look.
"Don't worry. Presumably, he could tell that my soul was damaged. When he kicked me just now, he must have had some way to help me resolve it quickly."
"But..."
"Cousin, you still don't trust me?"
Di Juetian smiled gently.
It seemed that the Child of Fortune and his cousin, this heroine of fortune, had already formed a bond.
That gave the Child of Fortune a weakness.
As for Gong Xin, Di Juetian didn't care in the slightest.
After all, the Child of Fortune was the greatest threat.
If he hadn't transmigrated here, his cousin would probably have opposed the Di Lineage when the time came.
Then Gong Xin would have fallen out with the Lineage.
Or there was another possibility: with the Child of Fortune's help, the Gong Family would ultimately stand against the Di Lineage.
But by then, Gong Xin, who had previously defected, would probably be in charge of the Gong Family.
Or perhaps the Child of Fortune would establish a faction of his own, with a group of great experts helping him, and become one of the hegemonic powers of the Immortal Domain.
Its foundations would be formidable.
But now that he knew all this, he would nip it all in the bud.
Gong Xin walked in front, glancing back occasionally.
These demonic beasts weren't very strong, or perhaps they simply hadn't reached that place yet.
It looked as though, if the previous Di Juetian had come here, he might have returned empty-handed.
Seeing the two talking and laughing, Gong Xin relaxed.
Besides, her younger cousin was stronger than her. If anything unexpected happened, he should be able to protect Zhao Wuji easily.
When he saw that Gong Xin was no longer paying attention,
Zhao Wuji looked at Di Juetian, his eyes betraying nothing.
"Young Master Di, you didn't get me alone just to chat, did you?"
"Can you tell me where you came from?"
Hearing this, Zhao Wuji's expression stiffened.
He looked at Di Juetian in disbelief.
His heart still stirred.
Then he smiled.
"Young Master Di, I didn't expect you to be curious about my identity."
"I'm not ashamed to tell you."
"I was an orphan before, and I was fortunate enough to meet a master."
"I never expected that, through a strange twist of fate, I'd become a matrilocal son-in-law of the Gong Family."
"Young Master Di, you're a man too. You know how helpless a man without strength can be, don't you?"
"This time, no matter how dangerous it is, I'll seize a Yin-Yang Divine Fruit."
