Lin Xuan looked at the woman before him, so humble and submissive, and felt a surge of accomplishment.
"Get up."
Lin Xuan made a gesture as if to help her up, his tone softening somewhat. "Since fate has brought us together, I will naturally help you. The Daoist school has a secret art known as the Karmic Reversal Technique. Once used, it can deceive the heavens and sever ill fate.

"The Karmic Reversal Technique?"
Dao Baifeng murmured to herself, a trace of confusion and anticipation flashing through her eyes. "How... is this technique performed?"
Lin Xuan did not answer directly, instead keeping her in suspense.
"This technique defies the heavens. It is no trivial matter. It requires the right time, place, and people—none can be lacking."

As she spoke, she seemed to recall something, and an embarrassed expression appeared on her face.
"Actually... my secular identity is the Princess Consort of Prince Zhennan of Dali.
