The Twists and Turns of Destiny

In the dark corner of the rock crevice, Robin snapped out of her daze and looked at Lin Yu, who was standing close by.

The two were enveloped in a pitch-black shadow, as if they were cut off from everything outside.

Robin blinked, then spoke in surprise.

"You... how could you?"

Clearly, she was quite puzzled that Lin Yu, a Tier 1 cultivator, dared to return.

Lin Yu, in the darkness, made a shushing gesture.

"Shh, while this thing is generally reliable, I'm not sure it will work on that person."

Robin, regaining her composure, also lowered her voice. "You... how did you come back?"

Lin Yu sighed.

Indeed, returning here doesn't seem like a wise move.

Even though this is the first time I've met the Diviner, judging from the way the organization he leads, "The Marauders," operates, this guy is definitely not a kind person.

Being able to forgive myself this once is already a stroke of good luck.

He returned and Robin...

That certainly seems too risky.

"I don't want to sound too noble, but I was just acting out of self-interest."

"I've just joined the Order. If I can save you, Tier 3 Night Watcher, especially from the Boss of the Marauders, it would be extremely beneficial to my future."

Lin Yu said sincerely.

Moreover, in that case, the name "May May" will surely resound among the Player again, and even everyone's assessment of his implicit strength will rise considerably.

If I were to use this identity again in the future, I would have more Item and strength to Fraud others, and it would be easier for me to succeed.

Therefore, everything he said to Robin was true.

But Lin Yu also knew that if he said that, it would Robin think of the other side.

"Those who can enter 'Order' are all single-minded idiots," Robin sighed. "But anyway, thank you for saving me."

We're not safe yet.

Lin Yu reminded him.

Robin shook her head. "Delaying this much longer will be more advantageous for us. Tier 4 Player... especially Tier 4 Player like the 'Diviner,' will face significant limitations in their activities."

"Although there are fewer restrictions in the Game, there are still quite a few things to consider."

Upon hearing Robin's words, Lin Yu pondered, "Now that he has obtained what he wanted, is there any chance he will let us go if we hide it well?"

"Possibly, but we'll have to hide very well," Robin said cautiously, "Because this guy holds a grudge."

Lin Yu let out a sigh of relief.

"That's really bad. If I remember correctly, this guy was pretty good at finding people..."

"If he decides to end this quickly..."

Before Lin Yu could finish speaking, he felt a blinding light descend from above, tearing apart [the Shady Corner].

Looking up, they saw a white-haired man wearing a dark blue robe and Cloth shoes standing on the rock above them, toying with three copper coins in his hand.

"That's a pretty good hiding trick, kid from 'Order'... I quite admire you."

"But you insist on coming back to die."

As soon as the other person finished speaking, three copper coins were tossed out and landed with a clatter.

The instant the copper coin hit the ground...

Lin Yu suddenly felt his body sink.

"What methods!"

He was almost knocked to the ground, his bones and muscles felt incredibly heavy, and even breathing became difficult.

The Robin next to him was almost slumped over, speaking through gritted teeth.

"It's his 'Heart Domain'... We're already inside his 'Heart Domain'!"

"What is that thing?"

Lin Yu asked.

"You can think of it as the ability gained at 'Tier 4,' just like the [Profession Item] you get at 'Tier 1'..."

The Diviner beckoned, and three copper coins flew back into his palm.

"It's far Robin early to explain 'Heart Domain' to 'Tier 1' guys, Robin... Besides, you two are already dead."

Lin Yu raised his head.

"Then hurry up and do it... Kill, but don't torture, you bastard!"

The Diviner said coldly, "But I'm determined to torment both of you."

Lin Yu laughed.

"That means I made the right bet—don't think I don't know, your time is valuable too!"

He certainly considered the potential benefits of returning, but he wasn't entirely without regard for the risks.

Judging from the brief encounter with the Diviner, this guy, though cruel, does indeed adhere to the principles of a "Marauders."

But the "Marauders" are never indiscriminate killers—they are driven by self-interest.

"I'm not letting you go because you're kind, Diviner, but because I have something you want on me," Lin Yu sighed. "Right?"

"Logically speaking, as a 'Tier 1' Player, even if I've recently gained some attention and even had some friction with your organization, I shouldn't be remembered by Player of your level..."

He recalled the inexplicable targeting he had received from the "Marauders" organization.

Although the executor is "Almond"...

But when he went through the information inside the "Marauders" from the perspective of "Heavenly Artisan," he discovered that the source of the investigation against him actually came from "A'yu"!

Therefore, all these things are connected...

Lin Yu instinctively sensed that something was wrong.

"I'm curious, what is it that makes you care so much about me, a newcomer to 'Order,' that you'd spare my life even under these circumstances?"

Lin Yu spoke Leng Jing, while the Diviner looked him over and fiddled with the Compass in his hand.

"To be honest, before you made that statement, I was also very curious about what was so special about you..."

"But now I have some ideas."

Diviner spoke, Lin Yu immediately realized what he meant.

"You don't know what's special about me, but you think I am, so someone must have told you something about me..."

"No, no... You're a 'Diviner,' so... you predicted something about me?"

The Diviner nodded slightly. "Yes, including this Miss 'Robin'..."

"My capable assistant, the one you impersonated, A'yu, encountered some difficulties and asked me to tell her fortune."

The Diviner spoke with a look of reminiscence.

"How should I put it... I originally intended to help her resolve her doubts, but unexpectedly, I myself encountered a divination that left me perplexed."

"So I used my abilities to try to gain a more obvious 'revelation'."

"However, the content of the revelation was even more chaotic, bizarre, absurd, and ridiculous. I initially thought that my abilities had malfunctioned, or that someone was playing tricks on me."

"But it wasn't until I experienced everything in this Instance, until you just asked me, that I realized..."

The Diviner's Compass stopped, and the coins fell to the ground again.

"Destiny is truly full of twists and turns."
