52: Chapter 52 On Fate, Li Huayin's Shameful Escape

Before long, the group of three arrived at Destiny Peak and entered Li Zhenwu's Residence.

Li Zhenwu respectfully brewed a pot of fine Spiritual Tea for Lin Ran and Li Huayin, then made a random excuse to leave, giving the space to Lin Ran and Li Huayin.

Lin Ran took a light sip of the Spiritual Tea and went straight to the point: "True Disciple Li, how much do you know about destiny?"

Li Huayin lowered her head to look at the Spiritual Tea in her cup, her delicate brows slightly furrowed as a look of contemplation appeared on her face, looking extremely cute.

After a long while, she finally spoke slowly, her tone carrying a hint of nervousness that even she hadn't noticed:

"Destiny is an invisible and intangible illusory thing. It controls the life and death of endless living beings and is the strongest Great Dao in the world!"

"Cough, cough!"

Lin Ran almost spat out the tea in his mouth.

He looked at Li Huayin as if she were an idiot, then whispered under his breath, "Her chest isn't even that big, so how can her words be so brainless?"

Li Huayin naturally heard his muttering, her cheeks turning as red as blood. She couldn't help but say in embarrassment and anger, "Then, True Disciple Lin, what is your view on destiny?!"

She was, after all, a Prodigy who had cultivated Destiny True Intent. Although the Great Dao of Destiny was not her primary path, she still had her own insights into it.

But in Lin Ran's eyes, her insights were just brainless words.

What made her even more furious was that Lin Ran insulted her by saying her chest was small!

How could she endure this?!

No woman could endure this!!!

Lin Ran didn't mind and chuckled:

"Everyone knows that before the world first opened, the Dao was born. It was only when the world opened that billions of living beings gradually appeared."

"So, this involves a question: where exactly does the destiny we carry come from?"

"Is it really as you said, an illusory thing forced upon us by the Great Dao of Destiny to control all the living beings in the world?"

"This is naturally wrong. Rather than saying the Great Dao of Destiny you mentioned has ill intentions and wants to control all of us living beings..."

"Or saying that we need destiny and thus plunder our own destiny from the Great Dao of Destiny..."

"It would be better to say that all things in this world and the Great Dao of Destiny are inseparable and complement each other."

"The Great Dao of Destiny needs us, and we just happen to need destiny. From this, a point of balance is formed."

"The closer we are to this point of balance, the more we can see the mysteries contained within, which is the profundity of destiny."

What a joke!

He possessed the Destiny Immortal Body. How could Li Huayin's comprehension and insights into the Great Dao of Destiny possibly compare to his?!

As the saying goes, every profession has its specialty, and his specialty was the Great Dao of Destiny!

Li Huayin was entranced, completely absorbed.

Lin Ran's words seemed to draw a door in her Sea of Consciousness. Behind that door was the profundity of the Great Dao of Destiny, surging like a vast sea!

Although she had cultivated Destiny True Intent, she had never thought at such a deep level.

She had only superficially thought that the Great Dao of Destiny was the strongest in the world and that the destiny carried by billions of beings was merely a gift from the Great Dao of Destiny.

But now, Lin Ran told her that it wasn't destiny controlling living beings, nor was it living beings desperately needing destiny; the two were complementary existences.

Between these billions of living beings and destiny, there existed an ethereal point of balance!

She never expected that Lin Ran would have such insights into the Great Dao of Destiny.

The way she looked at Lin Ran also underwent a slight change that even she herself didn't easily notice.

"I didn't expect True Disciple Li to be so cute when she's 'taken aback' by me."

Lin Ran gave a cynical smile.

Li Huayin's face instantly turned completely red, and she gave Lin Ran a bashful, angry glare:

"True Disciple Lin, can you be serious? You... what kind of suggestive words are those?!"

But for some reason, it seemed that the improper Lin Ran was more capable of stirring her long-frozen heartstrings.

"Ah? Did this True Disciple say something?"

Lin Ran blinked, playing dumb while knowing exactly what he was doing.

"You! Forget it!"

"Hearing True Disciple Lin's words today has suddenly enlightened me. I am deeply grateful."

"If True Disciple Lin has any need for me in the future, just ask, and I will do my best!"

Li Huayin solemnly cupped her fists and spoke seriously.

"Don't worry, if I have a use for you, I'll definitely ask. However, when the time comes, True Disciple Li must also remember to 'open your mouth'~"

"Otherwise, this True Disciple won't know what other doubts you have in your cultivation."

"By the way, I heard that True Disciple Li also practices the Sword Dao. Do you need to discuss swords with me?"

Lin Ran lightly patted Li Huayin's fragrant shoulder and smiled mischievously.

Smelling the tempting scent emanating from Lin Ran and hearing the suggestive words from his mouth, the blush on Li Huayin's face became even more prominent, like peach blossoms, and it even spread to the back of her neck.

"No... no need. The insights I've gained today are already enough. Thank you, True Disciple Lin!"

After saying that, Li Huayin fled as if running for her life, really not wanting to hear any more of Lin Ran's suggestive words.

"Eh? Sister, why are you..."

Li Zhenwu, who was guarding outside the Residence, only saw a ball of light fly past him at high speed, bringing with it a gust of fragrant wind.

For a moment, he was stunned on the spot, his mind filled with constant guesses.

So, did the discussion of the Dao between Lin Ran and Li Huayin succeed or not?

He hoped his good intentions weren't wasted!

Inside the Residence, looking at the hurriedly fleeing Li Huayin, Lin Ran's gaze darkened slightly as he stroked his chin and thought to himself:

"It seems this girl is inexperienced in the world and her emotions are a blank slate. She probably couldn't handle the big impact my words gave her, right?"

Sure enough, there were still some differences between women.

Like Su Xiyue, who was already used to hearing his suggestive words, although she would still blush occasionally.

As for Yan Ruyu, her suggestive words were even more aggressive than his, to the point where even he couldn't take it.

Compared to Su Xiyue and Yan Ruyu, the difference with Li Huayin was immediately clear.

[Ding! Detected that Li Huayin's favorability toward the Host has increased by 25 points!]

[Reward: 10,000 destiny points!]

[Current favorability of Li Huayin: 25!]

A simple act of bestowing the Dao had increased Li Huayin's favorability by 25 points and even earned 10,000 destiny points.

These days of Cultivating in the Feixian Sect are getting more and more stylish!

Lin Ran hummed a little tune and walked out of Li Zhenwu's Residence, completely ignoring the dazed Li Zhenwu as he flew straight toward Yan Ruyu's Residence.

"Seeing True Disciple Lin in such a good mood, I suppose the discussion with my sister didn't fail."

"That's great, it looks like there's hope!"

Li Zhenwu clapped his hands and laughed, unable to help but give himself a thumbs up for his own wit.

Lin Ran's guess was correct; the reason he brought Li Huayin to find Lin Ran was indeed to act as a matchmaker for the two!

If Lin Ran and Li Huayin truly became Dao Companions, then after returning to the Imperial Province, Li Huayin would no longer be fighting alone!
