The experts passing near Li Zi's courtyard all stopped in their tracks.

So did the clan heads, who were in talks with several Sect Masters.

The system said, [Looks like it. Fortune is a mysterious thing. These four great lineages all had tremendous opportunities and fortune. Many of their ancestors achieved Tribulation Transcendence to Immortality, and immortal blood itself carries inherited fortune, making the path of cultivation smoother.]

[Take the Pu Clan. When their fortune was flourishing, they could wander into a Secret Realm and stumble into an expert's Cave Abode, gaining an enormous opportunity. Si Le's remaining undiscovered all this time must have had something to do with that fortune. It was also why his strength recovered so quickly.]

Li Zi sighed, [Good thing we found out early.]

The others exchanged relieved smiles.

The Sect had felt the effects of so-called fortune more directly than anyone.

They had searched the towns near where Ran Zirou found the hairpin countless times, practically combing every inch, yet they had still missed it.

That was fortune at work.

These experts were more than strong enough to crush Si Le in his soul form.

If they had found him and killed him outright, everything would have been settled!

Yet obstacle after obstacle had appeared. First they could not find him; then they wanted to kill him but could not.

Was this what fortune was?

It was so mysterious and wondrous that they could only marvel.

Song Wanbai and Ji Zheng, along with their third companion, returned to their respective Cave Abodes for Secluded Cultivation.

Li Zi stayed on. She still had to help Pu Tingyun "recover."

After resting for a day, she remembered to visit Pu Tingyun the next morning.

As the clan head's youngest son, Pu Tingyun lived in a splendid courtyard.
