986 Fate (6)
When Xie Jingxing and the others arrived at the hall, Daoist Priest Chi Yan was about to take out the jewel eye on the slot on a vase. He asked Hui Xiang, “Can I take this away?”
“Daoist Priest Chi Yan!” Luo Tan shouted when she saw him.
When Chi Yan saw her, he smiled and said, “Miss Luo, long time no see.”
Luo Tan immediately said, “Did you come because you know that something happened to my little cousin?” Although Luo Tan felt that Daoist Priest Chi Yan was an annoying person, he seemed to be quite capable. Otherwise, Shen Miao wouldn’t have trusted him so much.
Daoist Priest Chi Yan looked at the silent Xie Jingxing behind Luo Tan and smiled. “I can’t change her fate. I can only read fortunes. Young man, what do you think?”
“I don’t believe in the Heavenly Dao,” Xie Jingxing said.
“The Heavenly Dao is not a belief. Why should people insist on seeking answers from the Heavenly Dao?” Daoist Priest Chi Yan shook his head and said, “This madam’s fate is strange. Others can’t fathom it. It’s all up to her choice. You and I can’t do anything to help.”
Luo Tan did not understand what Daoist Priest Chi Yan was talking about and hurriedly asked, “Daoist priest, what should my little cousin do now?”
“Do you still have the spirit herb I gave her back then?” Daoist Priest Chi Yan asked.
“Eh?” Luo Tan was puzzled. “Back then, when we came back, Prince Rui’s poison had already been removed, so the herb was naturally useless. I didn’t know where my little cousin put it.”
“I think I know!” Jingzhe said and then brought everyone to Shen Miao’s room. She really found a dusty box under the dressing table. She opened it and saw an ordinary-looking herb lying inside.
Luo Tan pointed at it and said, “That’s it!”
“Chuck it away.” Chi Yan stroked his beard.
“Wait.” Xie Jingxing looked at the strange Daoist priest. “Why should I believe you?”
“You can choose not to believe me, but you have no other choice.” Chi Yan sighed and said, “This herb was obtained by your wife, but when she got it back then, I told her that her efforts were in vain. Even without this herb, you would still be safe and sound. Your fate doesn’t end with this calamity. What she did was useless.”
Everyone was stunned.
“However, it’s not for nothing.” The strange Daoist priest looked relieved again. “The person who gives love will be reciprocated, and the person who saves will likewise be saved. If she had been half-hearted and perfunctory in the valley back then, she wouldn’t have obtained this spirit herb, and we wouldn’t meet here today. This spirit herb was obtained to save you, but little did she know that she did it to save herself.”
At this moment, Luo Tan vaguely understood something. She asked, “What you mean is that you already knew that this spirit herb would not be used on Prince Rui, but on my little cousin. You predicted that my little cousin would suffer such a life and death tribulation, so you asked her to do something to trade for this herb.”
The strange Daoist priest looked at Luo Tan and smiled. “You are quick on the uptake.”
Xie Jingxing stared at him. “You asked her to work in the field?”
There was killing intent in his eyes. The Daoist priest took a step back and hid behind Gao Yang. He cleared his throat and said, “This calamity is preordained to happen in her life. I’ve already minimized the effect of this calamity. Compared to her life, working in the field was not worth mentioning.”
“But why isn’t she awake yet?” Gao Yang was puzzled. “I’m also a doctor. I checked her condition, but I couldn’t find the reason why she couldn’t wake up. She looks fine. She should have woken up today, but she hasn’t woken up for a long time. What’s the reason?”
The Daoist priest said, “I said that this is a calamity destined for her.”
“What do you mean by calamity? I don’t understand.” Luo Tan said, “Why don’t you tell us when my little cousin will wake up after eating that herb?”
Chi Yan smiled. “That herb is not for her, but for another injured person.”
Could the other injured person be Pei Lang?
Xie Jingxing said in a low voice, “If you dare to play tricks, I’ll kill you.”
Chi Yan shook his head. “That person is entangled with Madam in some sense. With this herb, Madam can disentangle with him.”
“Then what about my sister-in-law?” Ji Yushu asked.
The strange Daoist priest looked at Shen Miao, who was lying on the bed. Her expression was calm, as if she was asleep.
“This calamity is both a blessing and a misfortune for her.”
“I’m fated to see her three times, and this is the third time. I came here to end this fate.”
“Things in the world are never perfect. There are regrets and indignation. She wanted an answer, but no one could give her one.” The strange Daoist priest narrowed his eyes.
“Now, she has found a way. The answer she’s pursuing is right in front of her. No one can help her. You can’t, she can’t, and neither can I.”
“So, just wait patiently.” The Daoist priest looked at Xie Jingxing.
“That’s what you can do.”
