A successor of the Heavenly Secrets Hall? Sorry, never heard of him!

"Good, good, good!"

"He stopped!"

"He's coming, he's coming! The big fat sheep... no, I mean the peerless Child of Destiny is walking over!"

Seeing that young man with Luck like a blazing sun really stop and turn to walk toward her...

Mu Yurou's heart was blooming with joy, her little heart thumping with excitement.

This was a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!

As long as she could establish even the slightest connection with someone carrying such massive Luck—even if it was just selling him a single talisman—the resulting Karma feedback would be enough to benefit her endlessly!

"Phew... stay calm, stay calm."

"Mu Yurou, you are an expert; you must have the demeanor of an expert!"

To avoid losing her composure and scaring away this big client...

Mu Yurou took a deep breath, forcibly suppressed the smile at the corners of her mouth, and tried her best to put on a calm and otherworldly expert appearance.

She sat upright, tilted her head slightly, and tried to make herself look as profound and mysterious as possible.

Soon, Lin Mo passed through the crowd and arrived in front of this inconspicuous fortune-telling stall.

He didn't rush to sit down but stood over her, looking down with interest at the girl with rare white hair.

Up close, the girl was indeed extremely beautiful.

Her skin was as fair as snow, and her features were as delicate as a porcelain doll. Especially that long silver-white hair, which added a touch of ethereal beauty to her.

However... her outfit was indeed a bit shabby, and combined with her charlatan act, it felt discordant no matter how one looked at it.

"You just said..."

"I have a sign of great disaster?"

Lin Mo looked at her with a half-smile, his tone carrying a hint of teasing.

"I'd like to ask, what exactly is going on?"

"Is disaster imminent? Or is it a bloody calamity?"

Hearing Lin Mo's question, Mu Yurou didn't answer immediately.

She first coughed twice with feigned depth, then slowly lifted her eyelids, gazing at Lin Mo with a look that seemed to have seen through the vicissitudes of the world.

"Ahem... Greetings, Fellow Daoist."

"To meet is destiny. Since you have asked with such sincerity, this Fairy will naturally clear your doubts."

At this point, she paused for a moment, as if building up the atmosphere.

Then, she straightened her back and introduced herself with a face full of pride:

"But before that, let's get reacquainted."

"My name is Mu Yurou, and I am the Mortal World Successor of this generation's Tianji Hall!"

"That's right, it's the legendary Tianji Hall that knows the past and future, and calculates the fates of all living beings!"

After revealing her background, Mu Yurou stared intently at Lin Mo's face, wanting to observe his reaction.

In her view, any Cultivator in the Cangxuan Great Realm, even a bitter ascetic from the deepest forests, would have definitely heard the great name of "Tianji Hall"!

It was the most mysterious and transcendent top organization, one that even the various Holy Lands had to treat with respect!

Upon hearing this name, wouldn't an ordinary Cultivator bow down on the spot, shocked beyond words?

However...

Reality gave her a resounding slap in the face.

After hearing her introduction, Lin Mo's expression wasn't one of shock; instead, it showed a hint of... confusion?

"Tianji Hall?"

Lin Mo frowned slightly, searching through his mind.

It hadn't been mentioned in the ancient texts he'd read, Sikong Yang hadn't spoken of it, and it seemed he hadn't seen this name anywhere.

"The name sounds quite impressive."

Lin Mo looked Mu Yurou up and down with some suspicion and said casually:

"Is it a School you created yourself?"

"It doesn't look like any major power..."

"Pfft!"

Mu Yurou almost spat out a mouthful of blood.

Her large, expressive eyes widened, and she looked at Lin Mo as if he were an alien, completely stunned.

"Oh my god..."

"Where did this peerless country bumpkin come from?!"

"You haven't even heard of the Tianji Hall?!"

"Created it myself? Brother, do you know how to talk? The Tianji Hall's Legacy has lasted for hundreds of thousands of years. How could I have created it myself!"

Mu Yurou roared inwardly, feeling that her career had suffered an unprecedented insult.

This was like someone in Great Xia telling people they graduated from Qinghua or Peking University, only for the other person to ask: "Qinghua? Peking? Are those some diploma mills?"

It was a critical hit!

"Could this guy have jumped out of a crack in a rock?"

Mu Yurou grumbled in her heart.

But on second thought, with such terrifying Luck on him...

Perhaps he really was one of those peerless Prodigies who had been living in seclusion or had just emerged from some remote corner?

If that were the case... not having heard of the Tianji Hall seemed somewhat understandable?

"Hmph, ignorance is not a crime."

Mu Yurou took a deep breath, deciding not to argue with this ignorant fellow.

She was about to speak and give this "country bumpkin" a good lesson on the glorious history and supreme fame of the Tianji Hall to intimidate him.

"Well... Fellow Daoist, you might not know, our Tianji Hall..."

However, before she could finish, she was interrupted by Lin Mo's impatient wave of his hand.

"Alright, Young Miss Mu, was it?"

"I'm not interested in your Sect's history."

Lin Mo looked at the sky and then toward the battlefield in the distance, where rumbling sounds could be heard from time to time.

He was here to stock up and make money; every second was battle merit and Spirit Stones!

How could he have the time to listen to a little girl tell stories?

"Tell me, why did you call out to me?"

"I'm in a hurry. If there's nothing serious, I'm leaving."

Having said that, Lin Mo made a move to leave.

If it hadn't been for the strange feeling this girl gave him earlier...

Making him feel that she might be a special talent, he wouldn't have bothered with her.

"...Ugh."

Mu Yurou was so choked she rolled her eyes, and the phrase "Tianji Hall's fame shakes the universe" that was on the tip of her tongue was forced back into her stomach.

Depressing!

So depressing!

This person in front of her didn't seem easy to fool at all!

Should she say he's truly a Child of Destiny with shocking Luck?

This personality is just too straightforward.

Seeing that Lin Mo was really about to leave, Mu Yurou got anxious too.

If she really let this invincible fat sheep run away, wouldn't she suffer a massive loss?

"It seems if I don't show some real ability, I won't be able to suppress this person!"

Thinking of this, Mu Yurou's expression turned solemn, and she dropped her previous smiling charlatan act.

She stood up, a mysterious light suddenly flashing in her eyes, and her entire temperament instantly became ethereal and profound.

"Fellow Daoist, wait!"

"Since you're in a hurry, I'll get straight to the point."

She looked directly at Lin Mo and said word by word:

"Do you know that your Luck is like a blazing sun, illuminating the world!"

"The moment you appeared, the originally mixed and chaotic Qi within this Zhenyuan Pass was forcibly suppressed and pushed aside by your Luck!"

"Wherever you are, thousands of Karmic threads will invisibly gather toward you..."

"Even the fates of those around you will change because of your presence!"

"This is what they call—the trend of the times, the mandate of heaven!"

"Luck?"

Hearing these words, Lin Mo stopped in his tracks and turned around.

He looked at Mu Yurou's eyes, which had a faint flow of light, and suddenly became interested.

"You mean... you can directly see through Luck?"

He felt this white-haired girl wasn't simple; those eyes gave him a very special feeling, unlike ordinary Spirit Eyes or Dharma Eyes.

If she could really see through that ethereal Luck, then this ability was truly rare!

A definite strategic-level special talent!

If he could trick her into going to Great Xia to check the Feng Shui and stabilize the national destiny, wouldn't that be wonderful?

"Hmph hmph!"

Seeing Lin Mo finally looking at her properly, Mu Yurou proudly puffed out her unremarkable chest, her confidence restored.

"This Fairy's 'Heavenly Derivation Dao Pupil' are the supreme secret transmission of the Tianji Hall; naturally, I can see through Luck!"

"But... it's not just Luck!"

She extended a slender finger and shook it gently, her tone proud:

"Above, I observe the trends of the Heavenly Dao; below, I inspect the Nine Serenity Yellow Springs."

"Even those intricate fates and Karmic ties, or even the obscure Laws of heaven and earth, I can glimpse them!"

"This is the value of a successor of the Tianji Hall!"

"Oh?"

Lin Mo raised an eyebrow, truly a bit surprised now.

Not only can she see Luck, but also Karma, fate, and Laws?

That's quite a big boast!

But looking at the girl's confident manner, she didn't seem to be lying.

"Since you say you're so capable..."

Lin Mo rubbed his chin, a playful glint in his eyes.

"Then Young Miss Mu, could you show me your skills on the spot?"

"No need for anything else, just peer into my fate and see how it is?"

He wanted to see just how much this so-called successor of the Tianji Hall was worth.

Could she figure out he was a transmigrator?

Or... could she calculate the Great Xia behind him?

"Oh, I'd be more than happy to!"

Hearing this, Mu Yurou's eyes instantly lit up, like a hungry wolf seeing meat.

She was waiting for those words!

Telling the fortune of someone with such Heaven-Defying Luck carried great risk and could easily lead to backlash.

But as long as she could glimpse even the tiniest bit of heaven's mystery, it would be a huge nourishment for her Heavenly Derivation Dao Pupil!

It might even allow her Pupil Technique to reach the next level!

This was what they called "seeking wealth amidst danger"!

"Let's go, let's go! We need to find a quieter place first!"

Mu Yurou was extremely impatient. She grabbed the tattered banner on the table and with a wave of her hand, swept the entire simple fortune-telling stall into her storage ring.

"There are too many people here, and the Karmic aura is too chaotic. This Fairy can't display her full strength!"

"I know a good place where absolutely no one will disturb us!"

"Keep up!"

Having said that, without caring whether Lin Mo agreed or not, she reached out and grabbed his sleeve.

Then she dived into the complex alleys of Zhenyuan Pass, quickly leaving the noisy street!
