Without Xianyu, it would have been easy to predict Jingliu's future from the course her life was taking.
The Luofu's Sword Champion, with her illustrious military achievements, would leave an indelible mark on Xianzhou history.
Across the span of centuries, even millennia, later generations would readily find themselves awed by this extraordinarily gifted Cloud Knight through old records.
Generation after generation of Cloud Knights would remember the Sword Champion named Jingliu.
They would remember her as a spirited Xianzhou hero with countless achievements to her name.
Wielding the peerless weapon forged by her friend, she would slay Abominations for the Xianzhou time and again. A close friend to four other prodigies, she would deserve every word of praise.
Xianyu gathered his wandering thoughts and looked at Jingliu.
She looked stunned, as though she had never expected him to say such things.
With a relaxed tone and a smile, Xianyu said:
"After all, telling fortunes pays pretty well. Even if you leave me, at least you won't go hungry."
Jingliu stared steadily at him and sighed.
"I didn't understand what Yingxing meant before, but now I do. You're far too easy to fool."
Xianyu was a Diviner who held a position in the Divination Commission through his divination skills. How could he so readily teach someone else the very thing he excelled at?
And why did he have to imagine the worst-case scenario in advance?
Just as Dan Feng had said, he would test her again and again, and she would have to reassure him each time.
It was like dealing with a Kitty that had suffered terribly, constantly showing kindness to earn its trust.
He really had no sense of security.
Xianyu shook his head, his tone meaningful. "Not just anyone can fool me."
"All right, go on home."
