Master of the Law spoke, paused for a mont, and then added, "The forr Saintess left the Moonwatching Sect in a huff, and the man she married was surnad Han. Regrettably, the Saintess died of hemorrhage during the birth of her first child, and the child she left behind is your grandfather Han Xuzi!"
"..."
Yun Jinnian was utterly shocked.
So Master of the Law knew all along...
"Your mother did not inherit the Nanjiang Poisonous Insect Technique, and neither did you when you were little. However, by so twist of fate, you gained the inheritance later on..." As Master of the Law was speaking, he suddenly rembered sothing, quickly turned, and walked to one side. He took out the Turtle Card and started divining.
He was even muttering to himself.
Watching him, Yun Jinnian felt particularly anxious.
Because at Huguo Temple, Abbot Wuxin and Master Micheng had seen through her destiny and had exposed it with a single statent.
Seeing Master of the Law like this, Yun Jinnian was very nervous, wanting to leave but unable to do so, her back drenched with sweat.
"So that’s how it is, that’s how it is!" Master of the Law was ecstatic.
He approached Yun Jinnian, "Have you died once before? And was it an extrely miserable death? Soone changed your fate, sending you back to your younger days, altering your destiny. Thus, the fate that was taken from you returned to you once more, and the inheritance erged!"
Yun Jinnian was so frightened that her face turned deathly pale, and she nearly slid off the chair.
What is all this about?
It seed outrageous, yet it could explain everything.
Because indeed, she had an extraordinary talent for dicine; she could rember the effects of any herb after seeing it just once, and knew which herbs to combine to cure specific illnesses.
"No!"
"No?"
Yun Jinnian nodded.
"How could it not be? I clearly divined that there was an anomaly in your fate. It changed in the winter of the year you turned ten..."
"Stop talking, I beg you, stop talking!" Yun Jinnian suddenly scread.
She struggled to get up.
Her eyes were bloodshot, brimming with tears.
She had always tried hard to forget, to grow strong by constant effort. Why bring it up again...
That past was like an arrow with a reverse hook, unbearable to pull out without causing heart-wrenching pain.
Master of the Law suddenly understood that what he had divined was accurate.
He extended a hand and gently rubbed Yun Jinnian’s head.
Yun Jinnian looked up at Master of the Law.
"Don’t be afraid, I, this old man, have been in retreat for many years. Since it’s your secret, it shall forever be your secret. Not a single word will spread from !"
Yun Jinnian lowered her eyes, and then slightly nodded.
Master of the Law sat down in the chair next to Yun Jinnian, "What are your plans moving forward?"
"?"
"Since soone has changed your fate and stolen your exceedingly noble destiny, don’t you want to take it back?" Master of the Law asked, taking a deep breath.
He was old now, and it had been many years since he last traversed the martial world. He had the heart to perform rituals for Yun Jinnian, but his energy was not what it used to be, and he feared bungling it and endangering Yun Jinnian’s life.
Therefore, he still needed to seek out a true master of the Taoist arts.
"What should I do?" Yun Jinnian asked.
"Beco the Nanjiang Saintess, take control of the entire Moonwatching Sect, and make all the followers do as you wish!"
Yun Jinnian sneered, "Then wouldn’t I be utterly shaless, doing nothing yet ordering others around? I cannot do that!"
Master of the Law looked at her and started to smile.
She had the sa temperant as that girl; seemingly weak but extrely resolute, adhering to her own principles in all matters.
That was why the girl had stord out of the Moonwatching Sect and would rather die than return.
"You must have known earlier that you are now the Nanjiang Saintess. As long as I acknowledge it here, from now on, fifty thousand followers of the south will do as you say. Everything in the sect will be yours, including all the Blood Lotuses in this valley. You can pick them freely, use them for yourself, give them to others, or bestow them upon your followers. You truly must think this through!"
