Zhang Sanfeng asked the middle-aged Fire Qilin, "Are you here to guard Goddess Nuwa's statue?"
"That's right," the middle-aged Fire Qilin replied. "But that's not all. I'm also waiting for my destined duty to arrive."
"To break off your own Qilin horn?" Zhang Sanfeng asked.
"You... how could an old Taoist like you know that?" the middle-aged Fire Qilin exclaimed in shock.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled. "My cultivation reaches the heavens. I know the fate of everyone in this world."
"Oh, I see," the middle-aged Fire Qilin said.
"You no longer need to stay here," Zhang Sanfeng said. "The chosen one's fate has changed, and the fate of Nuwa's descendant will change with it. Yours will change as well. You're free."
The middle-aged Fire Qilin was stunned, then grew lost, unsure where to go.
Zhang Sanfeng smiled. "Since you don't know where to go, follow me for now. You can give Little Fire some guidance. He's still growing, and although his cultivation is higher than yours, he lacks the Qilin clan's legacy. That will surely hinder his cultivation in the future."
The middle-aged Fire Qilin nodded. The Fire Qilin glanced at him, then flashed with red light and attached himself to Zhang Sanfeng's Taoist robe.
Seeing this, the middle-aged Fire Qilin also attached himself to Zhang Sanfeng's Taoist robe.
Zhang Sanfeng said to the Wine Sword Immortal, "Fellow Taoist, since we've come to know each other, let me offer you some guidance. You have a daughter named A Nu, born after you drunkenly slept with the Holy Maiden of Nanzhao all those years ago. Had you not advanced to the immortal realm, and had I not appeared in this world, your daughter would have killed you, because the Moon Worship Sect Leader would have taken control of her."
