No matter how he looked at him, this man seemed perfectly sound and healthy, not someone with little time left to live.
Still, he said nothing and simply listened quietly.
"My name is now Qin Tianqing. I am the current master of the Heavenly Mechanism Taoist Grounds. Of course, I am also the least deserving master in its history. Everyone more capable than me died, and in the end, the position fell to me."
"For many years, the Heavenly Mechanism Taoist Grounds has remained deep in the mountains, with little contact with the outside world. This is a place where we can peer into Heaven's secrets without attracting Heaven's notice," Qin Tianqing said.
"Peer into Heaven's secrets? Without Heaven noticing?" Zhang Yunxi asked, puzzled.
"Fate is ordained by Heaven," Qin Tianqing replied, then asked, "When a diviner tells fortunes, he is actually peering into fate. What happens to a diviner who reads too many fates?"
To Luo Bin, this was a rather complicated question. He could even say he did not understand it.
Zhang Yunxi's pupils contracted slightly. "He pays a certain price."
"A certain price." Qin Tianqing nodded.
"Then what if he interferes with the course of fate, letting those destined to die live, making those who should live die, bringing luck to the unfortunate and misfortune to the fortunate?"
"Or alters the lay of the mountains and the flow of the waters, changing the rise and fall of an entire region?" Qin Tianqing asked again, his gaze burning.
"He becomes entangled in cause and effect. If his fate can bear it, he succeeds. If not, he dies," Zhang Yunxi answered once more.
"If his fate can bear it, he succeeds. If not, he dies," Qin Tianqing murmured.
