Chapter 90 Asking about Reincarnation
Zhang Xiaofan turned his head and saw Biyao smiling at him. The young girl stood gracefully to the side, her eyes sparkling with charm.

After shifting his gaze from Biyao, Zhang Xiaofan looked at Youji, who was standing not far away.

You Ji was staring intently at him, her face still veiled, making it impossible to see her features. But her alluring eyes were now fixed on him with a resentful look, as if blaming him for their parting.

Zhang Xiaofan frowned, not daring to look any longer. After withdrawing his gaze, he looked at the old man again, put the silver back in his hand, and said softly.

"In that case, let the old lady calculate it for her first."

"Easy to say, easy to say."

The old man was stunned for a moment, then looked at the silver ingot in Biyao's hand, which was a size larger, and his eyes lit up. He nodded repeatedly in agreement.

The little girl standing nearby turned her head away with obvious disgust at the old man's greedy appearance.

Seeing the old man's worldly appearance, Biyao couldn't help but frown, feeling that he didn't seem very reliable, but she still asked him a question.

"Could you please tell me about my marriage prospects, old man?"

"Ahem! Young lady, would you like your own marriage fortune told, or would you like this young hero's marriage fortune told?"

The old man seemed to notice Biyao's gaze, and quickly coughed twice, reverting to his previous demeanor as a reclusive master, and asked in a deep voice.

Biyao pointed to herself, and originally thought that she would also point to Zhang Xiaofan so that the old man could calculate their marriage prospects as well.

But considering that she already had Aunt You and Lu Xueqi, there was no point in giving up, so Biyao had no choice but to give up.

Upon hearing this, the old man slowly narrowed his eyes, making it unclear whether he was actually closed. He shook his head and chanted in a mysterious manner.

"The person you love is the person in front of you, and the person in front of you is the person you love. However, whether you can seize your destiny, hehe, that depends on the girl's own efforts."

Upon hearing this, Biyao was overjoyed and tossed the silver ingot in her hand to the old man.

The old man, who had seemed to have closed his eyes, saw the silver ingot being thrown at him and, disregarding his appearance, hurriedly caught it.

After putting it away, the old man looked at Zhang Xiaofan with a smile again and spoke softly.

"I wonder what troubles you, young hero? Please speak freely. I have knowledge of the past eight hundred years and the future three thousand years, and I am sure I can answer your questions."

Lu Xueqi frowned, feeling that the old man was sometimes like a Taoist master and sometimes like a charlatan. Just now he was talking about five hundred years, then a thousand years, and now he has increased to so much.

Zhang Xiaofan didn't care. After pondering for a while, he spoke with a rather cold expression.

"May I ask, in this world, is there such a place as the cycle of reincarnation?"

"Huh? Reincarnation?"

The old man was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He had not expected Zhang Xiaofan to ask such a strange question, and for a moment he stammered, not knowing how to answer.

The little girl next to him stopped eating her candied hawthorn and gave Zhang Xiaofan a strange look.

Seeing this, Zhang Xiaofan shook his head slightly, but he was not disappointed. He simply said to Lu Xueqi and Biyao beside him.

"Let's go, it's getting late, let's find a place to stay first."

"Okay, let's go. Last time, Aunt You and I treated you to a nice meal. This time, it's your turn to treat me, right?"

Biyao quickly followed with a smile. The girl put her hands behind her back and spoke very eagerly. However, the young man did not show much emotion and just nodded slightly.

Seeing this, the mature woman beside her shook her head with a worried look in her eyes, and followed them with light steps, leaving the old man and the little girl behind. After watching the group of four—one man and three women—gradually walk away, the little girl reached out and tugged at the old man's sleeve, asking curiously.

"Grandpa, how do you know that the girl's sweetheart is the older brother?"

"You silly girl, can't you see how obvious it is? If that woman wasn't here for that Qingyun disciple, why would she offer to pay for him and ask about her own marriage in front of him?"

The old man rolled his eyes, then squatted down, chuckled, and said.

“Xiao Huan, you’re still young. It’s not safe for you to keep silver on your person. Let Grandpa keep that silver ingot for you for now.”

Upon hearing this, the little girl named Xiao Huan pouted, but still reached out and handed the silver ingot to the old man.

After licking the candied hawthorn in her hand again, Xiao Huan suddenly asked curiously.

"Grandpa, why did that older brother ask about reincarnation?"

Upon hearing this, the old man suddenly fell silent. After looking up at the sky, he took the little girl's hand and walked away into the distance, saying in a low voice.

"Who knows? Perhaps he just wants to find out where he came from, or perhaps he wants to go to the land of reincarnation to find his deceased family? Who can say for sure?"

"Grandpa, does the legendary place of reincarnation really exist in this world?"

"Perhaps there is. At least, in ancient legends, there is a place of reincarnation. However, it seems that no one has mentioned it since. Perhaps it collapsed, or perhaps the gods were angry and destroyed it? Who knows? Anyway, these things have nothing to do with us."

The old man and the young man walked together in the sunset, heading into the distance. No one knew where they were going, as they were traveling so late at night.

It's night, the moon and stars are sparse.

In an unnamed inn in Xiaochi Town.

Youji slowly pushed open the door and saw Zhang Xiaofan standing alone by the window gazing at the moon. She turned around, closed the door, and walked over gently. She reached out from behind and embraced Zhang Xiaofan's strong waist, pressing her arms against his back, and whispered something.

"Are you still thinking about that fortune teller from this evening? He's just a charlatan, why bother taking him to heart?"

"I know."

Zhang Xiaofan's answer startled Youji, but then she saw Zhang Xiaofan slowly turn around and look at her.

The moment their eyes met, Youji blushed slightly, though it was clearly visible despite the veil covering her face.

Looking into You Ji's eyes, Zhang Xiaofan understood immediately. He reached out and gently removed You Ji's veil, then lowered his head and kissed her.

Youji took the opportunity to hug Zhang Xiaofan's neck, and in an instant, the temperature in the room gradually rose.

Suddenly, Youji called out softly.

"Close the window and carry me over there."

Soon after, intimate whispers seemed to come from inside the room.

Lu Xueqi, who was next to Zhang Xiaofan, blushed deeply upon hearing this, and even lost her focus on cultivation.

On the other side, Biyao clenched her teeth, as if she was forcibly enduring something. After a while, she finally let out a heavy sigh and lay down on the couch, exhausted.
