308: Chapter 139 Fate is False, I Determine My Destiny!_2 308: Chapter 139 Fate is False, I Determine My Destiny!_2 It was almost possible for famous generals to charge across the battlefield undetected by magicians, making tactics such as flanking much easier to execute.
“No wonder Si Qing liked using this mask combined with the Black Dragon Coiled Body Armor, Chengying Sword, and his martial movent techniques—it was near flawless.”
Voices from the palace couriers ca from outside, and Li Guanyi returned the scroll to its original place.
Then he deliberately ssed up so of the military tactics scrolls and created so creases.
If soone ca in, they would think he was looking at these items.
He then removed his armor, changed into casual clothes, and even chatted idly with Ye Buyi and others for a while before slowly heading toward the Xue Family’s direction, pondering the matters of Qi Fortune and the whereabouts written in the scroll—seven or eight famous generals had left Chen Country and vanished without a trace.
Even without weapons and armor, their martial skills would make them heroes of a region in the Martial World—they couldn’t possibly have fallen so easily.
To discover their whereabouts, only one place sprang to mind.
The Netherworld Ghost Market.
Li Guanyi suddenly felt that there was a reason this organization existed throughout the world.
But to enter the Ghost Market, one needed their own token.
Or perhaps, one could use Situ Deqing’s mask and the reputation of being the world’s tenth assassin?
Li Guanyi pondered thoughtfully and made a ntal note of this, then silently thanked Situ Deqing.
You were truly exceptional!
The world’s tenth assassin!
Even in death, you deliver!
Feeling sowhat elated, Li Guanyi thought about the affairs of the prince as he walked.
In Jiangnan’s sumr, the air was heavy, almost humid, and before he knew it, it had started to rain, the fine drizzle lending the cobblestone streets a serene atmosphere as the young man walked along them.
Then he turned his head and bumped into a shiny bald head.
Thud!!!
Li Guanyi’s vision went dark, and stars danced around him.
Since his physique had improved, he hadn’t experienced such an incident.
Settling his mind, he saw a monk in a gray robe, appearing to be in his forties or fifties with slightly dark skin and so wrinkles—a Western Regions living Buddha he had seen before.
The world’s third grandmaster.
Li Guanyi said, “Senior.”
Then he stepped aside to clear the way, but as he sidestepped, the living Buddha also moved, nearly stepping on the sa spot as him.
After several more changes in stepping skills, Li Guanyi still bumped into the living Buddha.
He stepped back and asked, “Senior, have you co for ?”
He had to have seen it by now.
The Western Regions living Buddha chuckled, “Ah, little layman, you and the Buddha have a connection.”
“Indeed, I ca to find you today, but you arrived a bit late, just when I was feeding so cats, which was just perfect.” He lifted his wide sleeve to reveal a few newborn Li Nu’er.
The old monk laughed, “If I had t you earlier, these little cats would have missed out, wouldn’t they?”
“Little layman, that military madman Chen Chengbi ca to see , it’s no trouble for to teach you martial arts, but I had a sudden whimsy to co and see you right now—partly for these Li Nu’er, and partly…”
“Also for the Li Nu’er.”
He laughed, a sly look on his face, and winked, “Seeing you today, I have observed that you are sowhat different, which is why I feel the need to talk to you.”
“Co with .”
Li Guanyi thought for a mont and, carrying his sword, followed the old monk.
The old monk led him beneath a pavilion where the two of them took a seat.
The living Buddha from the Western Regions looked at the young man before him and smiled, “Little layman, you have a strand of Purple Energy about you, and plenty of green Qi Fortune—it seems to have appeared suddenly.”
“When I saw you a few days ago, you didn’t have these things, just a single strand of Qi Fortune.”
“Have you had so adventure recently?”
Li Guanyi candidly replied, “There was a bit of an adventure; this Qi Fortune was originally stolen from others, and today it has returned to .”
The monk looked at him and smiled, “That is indeed good news!”
Caressing the kittens on his knee, the old monk continued, “But I see that having obtained Qi Fortune, you appear to be pondering over sothing.
What, isn’t the green and purple Qi Fortune considered by ordinary folk to be a peerlessly auspicious Fate Grid?
Don’t you think so too?”
Li Guanyi sat there, voicing his doubts, “I indeed have little faith in it.”
“If the color of green and purple is held in such high esteem, how could my Qi Fortune have been stolen in the past?”
“Why did my parents die so young?”
“If purple Qi Fortune truly signifies supre human fortune, then why was that person today beaten up by , forced to give up his gains with interest?”
“And why has this Qi Fortune returned to ?”
Li Guanyi looked at the monk before him, “If the Qi of an emperor were so powerful, then Liang Country’s reign would not have been usurped by Chen Country.”
“If one needed emperor’s Qi to achieve great things, then the Red Emperor couldn’t have taken up the Three-foot Sword to sweep across the world—were all those fortune-tellers and butchers under his command endowed with green and purple Qi Fortune?”
“Yet at the end, they sought fortune-tellers to read their destinies.”
“Every single one was considered nobility beyond words.”
“But initially, they couldn’t even afford a proper al.”
The living Buddha from the Western Regions said, “It seems, little layman, that you don’t really believe in fate.”
Li Guanyi, sitting upright, replied, “If Qi Fortune were truly so useful, the countries of the world would not fall.”
“If a Fate Grid truly determined everything, then the rich would be rich forever, and poor children who acquire Qi Fortune and a Fate Grid would be robbed and killed.
The world would have turned out that way, but everyone believes in Fate Grids.
And yet, Purple Energy circulates and holds its own wonder.”
