Xian Ni: The God of Killing Returns, Marries Li Muwan at the Beginning

The blood bead in Su Wan's hand suddenly cracked, and a thin red thread, as fine as a hair, emerged and crawled up her arm from her fingertips.

"Don't touch it!"

Lin Che grabbed her wrist, and the red thread touched his fingertips, then with a "sizzle" it retracted and curled up inside the pearl shell.

He looked down at his palm and noticed a faint golden line that had appeared there, like a broken rune.

Lin Che looked at Master Su beside him and said, "For this kind of thing, we can only ask the immortals nearby. Master Su, why don't you go and ask the immortals to come?"

Lin Che swung his shovel and dug hard into the base of the west wing wall. He unearthed more old bricks with scale-like patterns and some rotten wood chips, which emitted the fishy smell of river mud.

As Lin Che was digging, his shovel suddenly hit something hard, making a dull thud, as if he had struck a huge stone slab.

"This is it."

The crimson clouds in the sky churned even more violently, and drops of blood covered the bluestone slabs, seeping into the ground through the cracks, as if searching for the way home.

The wine flag in the distance was torn to shreds by the strong wind, revealing the blurry water ripples engraved on the flagpole. It turned out that the entire street was built on a filled-in ancient riverbed.

Seeing what was happening before his eyes, Lin Che had no way to interfere, after all, this was beyond the control of a fortune teller like himself.

Su Wan gazed at Lin Che before her, thinking to herself, "Why... does he feel so familiar to me... Where have we met before?"

Looking at the scenery before him, Lin Che sighed softly and then said, "Let's go and invite the immortals."

Su Wan's father quickly summoned an immortal, who, despite only being at the Foundation Establishment stage, still managed to completely annihilate the evil spirits in the area, thus restoring peace to the city's inhabitants.

Master Su repeatedly knelt before the immortal and offered him precious gold and silver jewelry, but the immortal refused.

"I have no interest in the gold and silver treasures of mortals. If you wish to repay my kindness in the future, go to the nearby Hengyue Sect and participate in the immortals' assessment."

Upon hearing this, Master Su immediately nodded and bowed respectfully towards the other party, fearing that his recklessness might offend the immortal before him.

After the other party left, Su Wan sincerely invited Lin Che to stay overnight, but Lin Che refused.

"The divination for today is complete, Miss Su Wan. If there is nothing else, I will take my leave."

Lin Che bowed to Su Wan, then picked up his divination cloth and turned to leave the Su family mansion.

Watching Lin Che's departing figure, a strange emotion flashed in Su Wan's eyes, and she murmured to herself, "Why... does he give me a feeling of déjà vu?"

…………

For the next few months, Lin Che spent every day in the city telling fortunes. Although he only had three fortunes to tell, he was still desperate for them.

Lin Che gently rubbed his forehead, glanced at the divination chart in his hand, and said, "Why is no one coming to see us? If this continues, we might really starve to death here."

Just as Lin Che was pondering, a figure appeared in front of him.

Lin Che's eyes lit up, and he immediately looked up at the middle-aged man in front of him, smiling as he said, "Are you here for fortune-telling or to seek a marriage partner?" The middle-aged man was dressed in a magnificent robe, with an extraordinary demeanor that gave off an invisible sense of pressure, clearly indicating that he was an immortal.

"Are you the fortune teller here?"

The middle-aged cultivator sat upright in the chair, then nodded and smiled slightly, "I am Tian Kongzi, and I would like to ask you to perform a divination for me."

Lin Che smiled and asked, "What would you like to know, senior?"

"This is about the future of the Hengyue Sect... How can we make the Hengyue Sect even stronger?"

Lin Che waved his right hand forward, scattering three special copper coins onto the table. At the same time, he subtly moved his fingers and began to calculate in a very professional manner.

As the first ancestor of the Hengyue Sect and a powerful expert at the late Nascent Soul stage, he has been obsessed with one thing for hundreds of years.

He wasn't originally so persistent, but he saw different futures for the Hengyue Sect in the divination multiple times. So, at the moment when the heavens and earth collapsed and the wind and rain subsided, he had a slight feeling and spent a lot of his life force to calculate and deduce nine times in a row.

He was going to seek the future of the Soul Refining Sect and find a path to heaven for it!

Nine deductions and nine calculations led to a conclusion that he found utterly absurd. He didn't believe it at first, but after nine consecutive repetitions, he had no choice but to believe it.

All these deductions pointed to the State of Zhao, to a county town within Zhao, and to the fortune teller in that county town!
So he came, carrying his hopes and that absurd feeling, and searched for several days in the county town, visiting almost every fortune teller, but in the end he still did not get any satisfactory answers.

Those fortune tellers were just ordinary people, how could they answer his questions? For a middle-aged man of his cultivation, finding a fortune teller was not difficult, but it still took him a long time.

Just as Sky Prince was about to ask again, Lin Che slowly opened his eyes, his voice as calm and composed as ever.

"A thousand years from now, an abandoned baby will appear in the Hengyue Sect, and this abandoned baby will be the one who can completely untie the knot in your heart."

Upon hearing this, Sky Prince paused for a moment, instinctively glancing at the fortune teller in front of him. Then, as if he had guessed something, he slowly stood up.

Tian Kongzi bowed to Lin Che in front of him and said softly, "I understand. Thank you, sir."

Although his lifespan was less than a hundred years, he was able to use his Nascent Soul power to take a look at the world a thousand years later, and he also noticed that the abandoned baby had been taken in as a disciple by the current Hengyue Sect leader, Master Huanglong.

It seems that there is a divine will at play, and everything will follow the way of heaven, eventually returning to dust and disappearing from this world.

With one hand behind his back, Tianzi gazed at the azure sky, sighed softly, and said, "The will of Heaven is beyond my control, but having spent hundreds of years deducing the future and being able to know the outcome for my Hengyue Sect, I am... content."

After Tiankongzi left, Lin Che packed up his stall and went home for the first time. Even the neighbors felt strange, obviously not expecting Lin Che to finish so quickly today.

Back home, Lin Che saw many things in his dream. These memories seemed not to belong to him, but they did. It was as if everything had become more mysterious because of what he had said earlier.

...............

The next morning, the golden rooster crows.

Awakening from his sleep, Lin Che resumed his old routine, setting up his stall nearby and beginning to tell fortunes and pray for love for passersby. (End of Chapter)
