Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 1257

Chapter 1257 Odd Meeting

Wang Wei walked out of the cultivation room, and Wang Qi came to see him. However, Wang Wei could tell this was just a clone, and he knew the fact that the real one had entered seclusion.

"Why do you seem stressed out?" Wang Wei asked.

"I haven't figured out what gift to bring to the celebration," Wang Qi said.

"That's what's gotten so you riled up?"

"You should take this seriously. On such a grand occasion, we must bring the appropriate gift, or we will lose a lot of face."

"It's not like I'm going as my real identity, so it doesn't matter as much as you think."

"But, aren't you going to meet Lady Xun Junyao in person? Since it's your first meeting, you should bring a worthy gift."

"It's fine since I already prepared the perfect gift."

"Please don't say something as stupid that your presence is the best gift," Wang Qi warned, making Wang Wei speechless.

"I was going to say that as a joke, but now, you've ruined it."

"Patriarch, this is a serious matter."

"I know," Wang Wei waved his hand.

"So, what gift did you prepare?"

"You're persistent, aren't you?"

"It's one of my best qualities."

Wang Wei sighed and told him the gift he had prepared; he even summoned it to show him.

"It's indeed perfect for her," Wang Qi said, and Wang Wei rolled his eyes. "However, wouldn't it be better to refine it into something else? Maybe a hairpin, bracelet, or a mirror. Oh, I forgot she hates mirrors."

"She does?"

"It's a known fact," Wang Qi explained before handing Wang Wei all the information he had gathered about Xun Junyao, and it indeed stated that she would return any mirror she received as gifts and even publicly admitting to not liking them.

"The most beautiful woman in the world doesn't like to look in the mirror?" Wang Wei muttered.

"I had the same reaction after finding out," Wang Qi added. "Do you think she doesn't like what she sees?"

"Or she's afraid of falling in love with herself," Wang Wei joked as he thought about the Greek myth about the man named Narcissus.

"Is that possible?" "Stranger things have happened."

"True," Wang Qi nodded before changing the topic. "Did you prepare a gift for the first meeting with the madam?"

"That's not necessary."

"But—"

"I don't want to complicate our first meeting," Wang Wei stopped him. "So, there is no need for any gifts or grand gestures. We only need to talk."

"Maybe you have a point." Wang Qi did not bring up this topic again.

"Did anything special happen during my absence?"

"No, everything was calm. Everyone seems to be waiting for the celebration."

"Including them?"

"Yes, including them."

"I expect the men's faction to behave in such a way, but I thought someone like Five Feather would be jealous of Xun Junyao's beauty and make trouble," Wang Wei commented.

"That might still happen at the celebration," Wang Qi added. "However, knowing that her actions might turn everyone against her, she might restrain herself."

"I hope she doesn't, as that would make things more interesting," Wang Wei sneered. "Where is Red Mask?"

"People called me Old Man Tianji. It's a pleasure to meet you, the Destined One."

'Of course they do,' Wang Wei thought to himself, rolling his eyes. His meeting with the lower-dimension Old Man Tianji was also this random.

"It seems you came here purposely to meet me, but can I ask how you found me?" Wang Wei was curious as even the parasites, who were Paragons and had plenty of manpower, failed to find him, but this old man did.

"I've observed everyone who comes and leaves this place," Old Man Tianji said. "I can say with confidence, whoever it is, I can see some information about their fate — no matter how little. However, you are the only exception, so I deduce who you were."

"What if I was only a man really good at Anti-Divination?"

"I thought of this possibility," Old Man Tianji replied. "That's why I called your status as a test, and based on your reaction, I figured I hit the jackpot."

"I have to say — well played, old man," Wang Wei admitted.

"Thank you. I have a feeling that coming from you, those words mean a great deal."

"They do," Wang Wei acknowledged. "So, why did you want to contact me?"

"For now, I only wanted to ensure you were present at the celebration."

"And why is that?"

"I can't say anything more, but you only need to know your presence, no, your destiny, is essential to whatever is going to happen," Old Man Tianji.

Wang Wei sighed. "I don't appreciate how you know something but keep talking in riddles."

"I am not blessed like you," Old Man Tianji responded, his tone not hiding his envy. "Even at my current cultivation level, there are plenty of secrets of fate that I cannot reveal, or I will suffer tremendous backlash." He was very talented and achieved the realm of Everlasting, but even then, he was permanently blind because of peeping too much into fate when he was a mortal. _{ƒгeewёbnovel.com}

"Then, don't say anything — I'll just look it up myself," Wang Wei said as he directly looked at Old Man Tianji's fate line.

"It's useless," the old man said calmly.

"Hmm? What's this?' Wang Wei immediately saw something interesting. "You have more than one fate line? No, that's not it. Your…"
