Unusual Fate Records

Chapter 290, Question 020.

Jin Ziyue didn't stand on ceremony and said, "May I borrow your [Autumn Water Healer]?"

"You get up first, kid," Jin Junlai said irritably.

"I'm actually more worried about you with you by my side. You're really calm and collected. You even dared to watch the show in that situation just now."

Jin Junlai, thick-skinned and unconcerned by the attacks, changed his destiny to "Autumn Water Healer," a water-based healing destiny that allows one to grow by providing surgical treatment, cleansing, and wound healing.

"You managed to handle it, didn't you? And it seems like she's quite interested in you. I was thinking of telling her not to ruin things, and that I'd help you smooth things over with Fu Qin..."

Jin Ziyue looked at him strangely: "Do you do this kind of thing often?"

"Ahem." Jin Junlai coughed awkwardly. "No, that's not true. Middle-aged people have long seen through those fleeting affairs. I certainly didn't do it myself!"

He said it with certainty, fearing that Jin Ziyue would report him to the authorities if he turned around.

As she spoke, she led Jin Ziyue to a tap next to the park and turned on the water to wipe Jin Ziyue's wound.

The cool water stung my skin a little, but the wound healed quickly, and the bleeding stopped soon after.

"How do you feel about your destiny? What are your abilities?" Jin Junlai asked.

Jin Ziyue pondered for a while and said, "It's very mysterious. It seems to be related to my emotions, mental state, and physiology at the time. My destiny is currently in the realm of soul retracing."

"Wow, things that touch the soul are good stuff, especially when it's something like 'field' destiny. You've really struck gold, kid," Jin Junlai praised.

"Is this effect only occurring when I use the [Tracing Back to the Source] skill?"

"Yes, everyone's destiny is different, and it also depends on the fate master's understanding of the fate inscription and the fate master's own skill. Otherwise, why would we say that destiny is separate from the fate inscription and becomes the power of the fate master himself?"

Jin Junlai nodded and said, "You should activate your life consciousness as soon as possible during this period. Once you can protect yourself, then we can talk about other things. I have a feeling that because of you, Linghai City has become a big melting pot, and all sorts of rotten fish and shrimp want to get involved."

"By the way, Lao Jin." Jin Ziyue looked rather unwell.

"what happened?"

"What was that woman's dying wish?"

"【Without any extraneous details】, the main body is definitely over five hundred years old, and even the clone has less than a hundred years of energy."

"You knew it was a clone?"

"Yes, her life-long lifespan is very high, but her energy is scarce. Isn't that obvious? Don't be fooled by her strong regenerative ability. It's because your flames are too ordinary. They can't exhaust her life-long life energy. If it were the Zhang family's Heaven-Burning Flames, her five hundred years of life-long life energy wouldn't be enough to burn it off."

Jin Ziyue pondered the woman's words, which revealed a great deal of information.

"And she also knew that I came from the future."

Jin Junlai's smile vanished abruptly. He remained silent for a moment, then stroked his chin thoughtfully, saying, "There's nothing I can do. Since it's a soul state, it can't be hidden. I just didn't expect this woman to have so many lives. It seems fate is unwilling to spare you."

"God willing?"

“Every cause has its effect, and every action you take is reshaping everything you experience.” Jin Jun glanced at him and patted his shoulder reassuringly. “It’s alright, you don’t belong here.”

Jin Ziyue looked down at himself; he still had the same sixteen-year-old body and remained silent.

"You need to know that you are now being targeted by that organization. Since they are so wary of you, they will definitely keep causing you trouble. What you need to do is to keep getting stronger and consolidate your military power."

Jin Junlai raised his head, looked at him solemnly, and said, "Son, you must understand what martial arts are and what they are."

"You came into this world with your own trials and missions. You must find your reason to fight. Stop being so narrow-minded and preoccupied with petty emotions and righteousness, otherwise... once you witness those cruel truths, your martial arts and your power will collapse like a building crumbling, and you will be ruined and become a useless person. Do you understand?"

"I only want to fight for the people around me," Jin Ziyue said.

Jin Junlai's eyes turned cold, and he snorted, "What if everyone around you dies?"

Jin Ziyue stood there, stunned.

"Revenge? What happens after you get revenge? How will you survive? Life and death are preordained. You don't have to be responsible for other people's lives, and don't take on other people's lives on your own shoulders. No matter how close you are to someone, try not to."

Jin Junlai said in a deep voice, "These words may seem too cold-blooded to someone as hot-blooded as you, but that's just how life is. Anyone who values ​​the lives of others more than their own is sick. Any truly resolute person would never talk about the lives of others. They would only constantly improve themselves and, within their capabilities, naturally provide protection for more people, and naturally, fewer people around them would be harmed or suffer accidents."

Jin Junlai paused, then adopted a more tactful tone, saying, "But no one is perfect, and no one can save anyone 100%, even if it's done with the gimmick of 'risking one's life.' It just won't work."

Jin Ziyue lowered his head and remained silent.

He wasn't ignoring what Jin Junlai said.

However, there are some principles I cannot agree with.

Once he accepts this, it's like accepting the fact that Fu Qin is dead, or recognizing the fact that Jin Junlai is gone. Then everything he does now will be in vain.

Jin Junlai didn't say anything more, patted Jin Ziyue on the shoulder, and left silently.

A father is a pillar of support for his children, but he doesn't just protect them blindly; he teaches them to shield themselves from the wind and rain.

Fabricating fairy tales and beautifying reality is the choice of those driven by emotion, but as a father, his purpose is always the same—how to make his children accept the bloody truth and stand firm in the face of bloodshed.

Jin Ziyue raised his head and watched the man leave, but he had no words to refute him.

He wondered what Jin Junlai would do if he knew he would be the one to die in the future.
He'll be sad, but maybe not too sad. Perhaps he'll drown his sorrows in alcohol for a few days, then kill a few brats for revenge, and that'll be the end of it.

Jin Ziyue admitted that he could not be so open-minded and carefree.

His heart was filled with worries. His close friends Lao Yan and Douzi, the young and charming Fu Xun, the carefree Chen Ruolan, and... the one he longed for day and night.

Shaking off these jumbled thoughts, Jin Ziyue clenched his fist.

He got up to leave, but noticed a plastic bottle left behind by Lao Jin.

Beneath the simple mineral water packaging lies "well water" personally prepared by Jin Junlai.

"Well Water" is the slang of the Fate Masters, meaning to use life as a well. This is the first wisp of energy to be dug out from the Fate Word, opening the source of Fate Mastery.

Only when paired with the blood droplets of the Fate Controlling Clan can the Fate Controlling ability within one's bloodline be awakened.
