Lin Qi could honestly hate Heaven's Path, Lin Yun, and Elder Jinwu, but in the end, she chose to turn against herself, burying her resentment in her heart and pretending nothing had happened.

She had the chance to change her fate, better conditions than Qiao Yu, yet she couldn't cultivate a broader mind and vision. What's the difference between her and Qiao Yu, who was said to be blind?

Qiao Yu had completely fallen into darkness. In the darkness, she saw a glimmer of light and desperately reached for it.

Today, he dared to ask her and Dan Yueqing for a tryst. Isn't this all-in?

Lost, can't get any worse. Won, there will be another opportunity.

Isn't this defying fate?!

Lin Qi seemed to have seen light on Qiao Yu's body.

She suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, gently wiping Qiao Yu's forehead as if to comfort him and also as if drawing strength from him to find peace within herself.

Tan Yueqing was also taken aback by Qiao Yu's words.

She had lived in the fairy garden for years, and her eyes could hardly see such miserable people and things as Qiao Yu.

>More often than not, it's all about self-interest, power struggles, and vying for resources.

Like Qiao Yu, growing up in the lower strata, fragile and small like weeds, experiencing repeated blows and hardships, yet still able to swallow blood and tears, persevering and unyielding, striving upward against the wind, seizing opportunities and bravely charging forward, she would find it difficult to empathize even if she had seen such a person.

At this moment, Qiao Yu, with a smile on her face and tears streaming down her cheeks, recounted her experiences, leaving her deeply shaken.

This kind of impact, it strikes the soul!

Lin Qi adjusted her emotions before calmly speaking: "You should know that fairy arts aren't something anyone can just learn."

Qiao Yu's eyes were filled with determination. "I only ask that Immortal Sister give me a chance to try!"

"Can you read?"

Qiao Yu hurriedly said: "My grandfather is the most famous scholar in Bisui Town. He and my mother have always taught me to read and write!"

“I can give you a try.”

Lin Qi took out a book titled "Lin Family's Breath-Gathering Technique" from her storage space and threw it to her. “You can take this book and have a look first. Tomorrow, I'll find a Spirit Detection Orb to help you check if you have spiritual roots.”

"Linggen?" Qiao Yu suddenly remembered something. "Didn't the immortal say that my father had the three spiritual roots of water, wood, and earth? Does having a linggen mean I can cultivate?"

Lin Qi nodded seriously.

Qiao Yu clutched the Qi-inducing Manual given by Lin Qi, his whole body trembling.

I don't know if it's excitement or fear.

Lin Qi gave the things and prepared to leave. She needed to hurry back to digest the emotions she had just experienced.

Tan Yueqing grabbed her hand and asked Qiao Yu, "How old are you this year?"

Lin Qi patted her forehead, forgetting the most important thing.

Joe raised his head and answered crisply, "I am seven years and eight months old."

Lin Qi never expected that Qiao Yu, who looked smaller than herself, would be three years older.

Actually, Qiao Yu was afraid that she was too young to learn Xian arts, so she deliberately claimed to be a year older.

After the two left, Tan Yueqing asked, "If you led her into the Dao, you would create a karmic bond with her, which could greatly affect your cultivation path."

Lin Qi tilted her head and looked at her, "So, have I changed her fate?"

Tan Yue was taken aback, "This still depends on tomorrow's results."

Lin Qi retracted her gaze, lifting her head to look at the moonlight partially obscured by clouds. She suddenly let out a relaxed smile, "If I could truly change her fate, then changing my own fate wouldn't be so difficult either."

Tan Yueqing didn't quite understand Lin Qi's words, but she fell silent nonetheless.

She was deeply moved today, her worldview seemed to have a crack in it, through which a ray of light shone.

Lin Qi walked and walked, suddenly feeling a lightness and comfort in her chest. She smiled at Tan Yueqing, "Even if I don't help her, you would help anyway!"

No matter how cold she appears, Dan Yue was the first person on the ice rink to extend a helping hand to Chen En.

The three fire spirit flowers given quietly, are the tenderness under Tanyue's cold appearance.

"Tán Yuè Qīng, "She is courageous, bold, and possesses a resilient yet unyielding character. She embodies all the qualities that a cultivator should have. Even if fate turns against her, she will not fall too far."

Lin Qi remembered her eyes, which were too bright.

"A person with a forthright and straightforward personality, who has always been unable to escape the four words 'tough and easily broken'. However, she can bend and stretch, endure but also dare to face her own heart... I want to learn from her!"

Tan Yueqing couldn't help but chuckle and shake her head, "You never forget to learn, no matter what."

Lin Qi puffed out her chest and said confidently, "Of course. Confucius said, 'Among three people walking together, there must be someone you can learn from.' Confucius also said, 'Learning cannot stop.'"

Tan Yueqing covered her face and pretended to have a headache, kindly reminding: "The second sentence is from Xunzi."

Lin Qi: “.... all the same, who cares!”

"Are the two of you here on a mission or just here to relax and chat?" A senior sister from Lu Bing Feng stood at a distance, arms crossed, watching the two.

While she kept making eye contact with Dan Yueqing, she coldly said, "Hurry up and come in, we've been waiting for you two!"

Lin Qi and Tan Yueqing, thinking about their practice of spells today, felt a pang of nervousness and immediately quickened their pace into the room.

Li Shouzheng, sitting in the center with a serious expression, opened his mouth and asked: "What is the matter with your casting spells today?"

Tan Yueqing fell silent, not knowing how to explain.

Lin Qi said calmly, "Report to Senior Brother. Our cultivation is still shallow, and we haven't fully mastered the control of spiritual energy. We used a lot of spiritual energy casting spells at the front, so we failed several times later."

Lin Qi and Tan Yueqing weren't lying either.

They were only at the middle stage of Qi training, with little spiritual energy in their dantian. Casting a spell took them an hour, and they needed to meditate for half an hour to replenish their energy.

Lin Qi and Tan Yueqing could squander spiritual energy so freely because they were rich, always grinding for spirit stones.

It's already pretty good if someone with less wealth can hold on for half a day.

Li Shuzheng's dark eyes fell on Tan Yueqing, "Is that so?"

Tán Yuè Qīng naturally wouldn't try to undermine Lín Qī's credibility, "Returning the salute, Senior Brother, that is indeed so."

Just as the last team returned, Li Shouzheng didn't have a chance to question them further.

The last team was a man and a woman, the male cultivator's face pale, leaning on the female cultivator as they walked in.

Everyone suddenly looked serious, as if they had been ambushed.

One question revealed that the male cultivator had been casting spells frequently, overdrafting his spiritual energy, which is why he was so weak.

Li Shouzheng immediately realized the seriousness of the situation, and a group of people immediately gathered around to discuss the problems encountered during today's spellcasting.

Everyone unanimously reacted that the spell's range was too large, its effect was nearly nonexistent, and it consumed a lot of spiritual energy.

Someone suggested: "Since the hunting squad has gathered all the remaining people in town, why don't we contact Sister Luo and ask her to shrink the barrier's range? That way, my casting range will also become smaller, and the previous problem will be solved."

Li Shouzheng had rejected Yuan Xi and Luo Yidie's proposal for cooperation just this morning. Now, to contact Luo Yidie would be slapping himself in the face.

Therefore, he resolutely declined the proposal.

The next chapter will be added tomorrow, I can't add it today.
