Inside a small tavern in Ping'an Town...
"Senior Sister, our mission this time was to recruit Ye Ningshuang. Why did we take in another?"
One of the disciples of the Shenxiao Sword Sect asked, his face full of confusion.
Lü Qingyi sat by the window. Hearing her junior brother's question, she looked out the window with a blank expression.
After a moment of silence, Lü Qingyi finally spoke, "Since they both have Spiritual Roots, adding one more to the Outer Sect doesn't make much difference!"
Hearing this, the questioning disciple chuckled.
"Senior Sister, you have a point, but I noticed that Ye Ningshuang seems to have an unusual connection with that Ying Huaixu. This might not be a good thing!"
At these words, Lü Qingyi frowned.
Ye Ningshuang was the Fortune Bearer predicted by the Patriarch, someone capable of changing the future's balance.
If such a person were to develop unfavorable feelings towards someone with a Low-grade Spiritual Root, it wouldn't bode well.
Of course, this is from a broader perspective.
For Lü Qingyi, if the so-called grand scheme could be influenced by personal feelings, then it was too fragile to begin with.
Though she thought this way, it was merely a complaint.
Lü Qingyi sighed.
"There is some truth to that. After all, Ye Ningshuang is a Fortune Bearer, and without someone of similar fortune, she can't share this Karma. This isn't good for Ying Huaixu, as Fortune-Favored Ones are often solitary!"
The group of disciples was speechless.
Logically, shouldn't they be worried about Ying Huaixu delaying Ye Ningshuang?
How did it become that Ye Ningshuang might harm Ying Huaixu?
At this moment, a beam of light suddenly descended towards Lü Qingyi.
Lü Qingyi raised her hand to catch the light.
The light transformed into a Jade Token in her hand.
The Jade Token contained information about Ying Huaixu.
Lü Qingyi casually probed the Jade Token with her Divine Sense, but the more she looked, the more intrigued she became.
It even felt absurd.
Because Ying Huaixu's information was quite clear.
Orphaned at a young age, a fallen family disciple, he joined a martial sect to train for a few years.
Though said to have poor martial aptitude and underestimated by all, Ying Huaixu always managed to break through rapidly.
In the end, he had the misfortune of encountering an Evil Fiend, was pursued, fell off a cliff, and was later saved by Ye Ningshuang.
"Give me Ye Ningshuang's information!"
Lü Qingyi quickly said.
As soon as she spoke, a disciple handed over another Jade Token.
Lü Qingyi swiftly scanned it with her Divine Sense.
Finally, Lü Qingyi's face showed a skeptical expression! The source of this chapter is novelping.com.
"What is it, Senior Sister?"
The disciple who had questioned her earlier asked again.
Lü Qingyi didn't respond immediately. Instead, she compared the two sets of information, feeling a bit doubtful.
She instinctively asked, "Has the Patriarch's prophecy ever been wrong?"
The disciple shook his head.
"Never!"
Lü Qingyi was now somewhat incredulous.
Because comparing the two identities, Lü Qingyi suddenly felt that Ying Huaixu seemed more like the Fortune Bearer.
An orphan, with amnesia, and many inscrutable aspects.
This fit the typical profile of a Fortune-Favored One.
Looking at Ye Ningshuang.
Though also an orphan, her experiences were rather ordinary.
The only thing that suggested she was a Fortune Bearer was her knack for turning misfortune into fortune.
But wasn't Ying Huaixu the same?
Lü Qingyi's fingers tapped the table rhythmically as she fell into thought.
Unable to resist, Lü Qingyi took out three copper coins.
The three coins floated and spun between her fingers. With a gentle flick, they fell randomly onto the table.
Lü Qingyi looked over and raised an eyebrow.
For it was calculated based on Ying Huaixu's birthdate.
She wanted to see Ying Huaixu's future achievements.
The result was, the divination showed, nothing remarkable!
Lü Qingyi didn't believe it and calculated again with seriousness.
This time, the divination changed.
From nothing remarkable, it became ordinary, unremarkable!
"Hmm?"
Lü Qingyi was dumbfounded.
What kind of divination was this? What did this phrasing mean?
Unconvinced, Lü Qingyi tried once more.
This time, it changed again.
"Ordinary, unremarkable!"
Lü Qingyi suddenly felt a headache!
She never doubted her skills.
Because there was no reason to doubt.
Her Divination Art, though not on par with the Patriarch, was the best under him.
But Ying Huaixu's divination was truly baffling. This chapter was taken from g.com without permission.
A simple "nothing remarkable" could yield so many variations.
The key issue was, Lü Qingyi had to believe it, as calculating Ying Huaixu required no cost.
Thinking it over, Lü Qingyi calculated Ye Ningshuang's future achievements.
The result was, Lü Qingyi couldn't help but rub her temples.
Because the result was blinding.
Propping up a collapsing building, subduing the Eight Desolations, ending the Dark Age, an Empress unmatched through the ages, eternal...
The information was overwhelming.
The Shenxiao Sword Sect disciple, seeing the two divination results, couldn't help but smile.
"I told you, the Grandmaster has never been wrong, and now Senior Sister has confirmed it too!"
"Otherwise, perhaps Ye Ningshuang and Ying Huaixu should part ways."
Lü Qingyi waved her hand.
"Let's not mention this again. I've already accepted Ying Huaixu as a disciple of the Shenxiao Sword Sect. Since he's one of us, I won't tolerate any mockery or insults towards our disciples!"
"If Ye Ningshuang or Ying Huaixu themselves find it unsuitable in the future, they can decide for themselves, rather than us breaking them apart!"
The disciple quickly bowed.
"Senior Sister's lesson is well taken."
He dared not disobey.
In the Shenxiao Sword Sect, although Lü Qingyi was the youngest Core Disciple, her authority was akin to that of the Sect Master.
Sometimes, her words carried more weight than the Sect Master's.
Of course, reaching this point was due to Lü Qingyi's reliability and her contributions to the sect's development.
The Grandmaster's prophecy even stated that within the Harmony World, Lü Qingyi was like half the sky!
Such an evaluation was quite intimidating.
As for why Lü Qingyi, being so formidable, still needed Ye Ningshuang.
It was because Ye Ningshuang was even more extraordinary.
What they didn't know was that Lü Qingyi always had a feeling.
Ying Huaixu was different.
Where he was different, Lü Qingyi couldn't say, but her intuition told her, Ying Huaixu was truly unique.
"Alright, let's wait for three days. We'll set off after that..."
The disciples of the Shenxiao Sword Sect naturally all bowed.
And Lü Qingyi continued to gaze out the window.
Then, Lü Qingyi was stunned.
For she saw a rather comical scene.
