Want a fortune reading?

Who would dare to read this fortune?

The crowd that had been watching the commotion turned and left without a moment's hesitation upon hearing this.

Seeing everyone leave, the old man sighed helplessly.

"Ah, the world misunderstands me greatly."

"Thank you, young friend, for your timely assistance."

"I see that you have an extraordinary aura and will surely achieve great things in the future."

"Why not let me..."

"No need, I'm just following orders, no thanks necessary."

Chen Yunxuan had no fondness for this old man; if it weren't for Chen Chang'an's instructions, he wouldn't have intervened.

"Oh? Following orders?"

"So, it must be on the instructions of that young friend over there?"

The old man glanced at Chen Chang'an not far away, then walked over with a cheeky grin.

"Thank you, young friend, for your help."

"I see that you have an extraordinary aura and will surely achieve great things in the future."

"Why not let me..."

"Enough, put away your tricks."

"After all this time, how are you still not dead?" Chen Chang'an asked with a smile.

Seeing that Chen Chang'an recognized him, the old man dropped the pretense and said with a mischievous grin, "Look who's talking, you're not dead either."

"Ancestor, you... you know each other?" Chen Yunxuan was shocked.

He never imagined that the ancestor knew this swindler. Could it be that this person is not ordinary?

"Alright, this isn't the place to talk, let's find somewhere else."

"Come, it's been a long time, let's catch up."

Chen Chang'an and his group found a tavern and requested a private room.

"It's been over three thousand years since we last met."

"I never thought that Brother Chen and Brother Big Huang would still be so impressive."

"Ah, it feels like a lifetime ago."

The old man's words left Chen Yunxuan quite shocked. He knew the ancestor had lived long, but he didn't expect this seemingly unremarkable old man to have lived so long too.

Then he...

"Senior, since you know our ancestor, you must be someone significant."

"Why did you end up in such a situation earlier?" Chen Yunxuan asked, puzzled.

"Yunxuan, there's something you don't know."

"This is the famous Tianji Pavilion... he should be the third Pavilion Master."

"His name is Wang Tianji!"

"He's very powerful, but he's done so many unscrupulous things that he often faces retribution."

Retribution?

What does that mean?

What is Tianji Pavilion? Why have I never heard of it?

"Teasing me in front of the younger generation."

"It's just that our lineage, in trying to divine the secrets of heaven, has been punished."

"Every thousand years, our bodies deteriorate, not only aging in appearance but losing all cultivation, lasting for ten years."

"During this period, we're at our most vulnerable, with no ability to resist if danger arises," Wang Tianji said with a helpless smile.

"Since you know it's the most dangerous time, why did you come all the way to the Great Zhou Kingdom?"

"With your current physical condition, walking here might take more than ten years."

Wang Tianji's location was far from the Great Zhou Kingdom.

If his cultivation were intact, it would be no problem, but now that he's lost all his cultivation, how did he get here? What for?

"Wait!"

"Something's not right!"

"The first time I met you, it was when you had lost your cultivation and aged."

"According to the timeline, you shouldn't be like this now, should you?"

Suddenly, Chen Chang'an realized something was amiss. He had met Wang Tianji when he first lost his cultivation.

But according to the timeline, Wang Tianji shouldn't lose his cultivation again for another three hundred years or so.

Why did it happen early this time?

Hearing Chen Chang'an's words, Wang Tianji smiled wryly.

"About a year ago, I had a sudden feeling and divined a fortune."

"I found the heavenly secrets in chaos, unusually turbulent, and feared a major event was coming."

"Later, I discovered that in this small Great Zhou Kingdom, an old friend would appear, but I couldn't deduce which one."

"You should know, at my age, I don't have many old friends, and the only one I couldn't deduce would be you."

"When I first saw you, I couldn't see through you, couldn't guess, your life's path was shrouded in mystery, impossible to calculate."

"So I rushed here before losing my cultivation because I calculated that there was a high probability of reuniting with an old friend here."

"But I didn't expect..."

"Your descendant here is the same!"

"Does your Chen Family only produce prodigies?"

Wang Tianji appeared calm, but seeing Chen Chang'an and Chen Yunxuan, he was indeed surprised.

Chen Chang'an was a familiar face, but he didn't expect the young Chen Yunxuan to also have great fortune, beyond his calculations.

Chen Yunxuan didn't expect to be caught up in this either.

"My Chen Family members are naturally not ordinary."

"So, is it because of that attempt to divine the secrets of heaven that your retribution came early?"

"Did you come all this way just to catch up?" Chen Chang'an asked with a smile.

"You guessed wrong, it really is just to catch up."

"Maybe it's because I'm getting old and want to see old friends."

"I can't divine the secrets of heaven, nor do I know what will happen."

"So I decided not to think about it," Wang Tianji said with a smile.

"Alright, today we'll just catch up, nothing else."

"Alright!"

After the food and drinks were served, Chen Chang'an and Wang Tianji chatted and laughed, exchanging cups.

They truly didn't mention a word about their earlier discussion.

Chen Yunxuan sat by, occasionally refilling their drinks, thinking to himself, "Following the ancestor really broadens my horizons!"

"To think he knows such people."

An hour later, after eating and drinking their fill, Wang Tianji patted his belly and said with a smile, "That was satisfying, haven't felt this good in a long time."

"It was worth the long journey."

"But, all good things must come to an end, it's time for me to leave."

Chen Chang'an looked at Wang Tianji calmly and said, "Leaving now?"

"Yes, it's time to go."

"Alright."

Chen Chang'an just nodded, not saying much more.

After Wang Tianji left, Chen Yunxuan asked, puzzled, "Ancestor, isn't it dangerous for Senior Wang to leave now without any cultivation?"

"It won't be. He suffered once before; with his character, he won't suffer a second time."

"Don't forget, he's the third Pavilion Master of the Tianji Pavilion; how could he not have someone protecting him?"

"Hmm? Ancestor, you mean Senior Wang has someone protecting him in secret? Then why did you have me intervene earlier?"

"It was just to help him play out the scene."

"Yunxuan, what do you think of Wang Tianji?"

Hearing this, Chen Yunxuan pondered for a moment, then said seriously, "Ancestor, I can't understand this person, nor do I know him well. From our interaction just now, I didn't have much of an impression."

"But since he's an old friend of the ancestor, he shouldn't be too bad. He seems alright."

Chen Chang'an smiled at Chen Yunxuan, making him a bit nervous.

"Someone who attempts to divine the secrets of heaven is not simple."

"You don't really think he came just to catch up, do you?"

"He... though not a villain, is definitely not purely good!"
