Maybe I shouldn't die.

When they arrived at the door of the inn, Mr. Fang just returned with a relaxed smile on his face, presumably because the communication with the escort agency went smoothly.

He caught a glimpse of Fang Li and Fang Yue walking in from outside, and immediately walked up to them, picked up Fang Yue, stroked her little face, and asked gently.

"Yuer, did you have fun today?"

Fang Yue nodded.

"We had a lot of fun, but we came across a strange fortune-telling stall." Fang Yue couldn't help but tell Mr. Fang about her bizarre experience today.

Mr. Fang frowned and was secretly alert, worrying that he might have met a charlatan or heard some unlucky prophecy.

He turned his head to look at Fang Li, and saw that he also had a confused and uneasy look on his face, and he was even more worried. He gently stroked Fang Yue's head and asked softly.

"Oh, what kind of fortune-telling stall can be described as strange? Tell me about it. I am also very curious."

As he spoke, he carried Fang Yue towards the inn, and Fang Li hurriedly followed.

"Well, a special fortune-telling stall, that Taoist priest..." Fang Yue hesitated, as if organizing her words.

"Don't worry, Yue'er, just speak slowly." Mr. Fang encouraged his daughter patiently, his voice gentle and full of care.

So, Fang Yue began to describe today's experience in detail, describing every detail clearly.

After hearing this, Mr. Fang fell into deep thought, and only spoke after a long time.

"Li'er, what do you think about this?"

Fang Li thought for a moment and replied

"Father, I think the Taoist's words are somewhat credible. This matter concerns Yue'er's life. I have asked my servant to inquire around to see if there has been such a Taoist setting up a stall recently."

Mr. Fang nodded in agreement.

"Yes, Li'er, you have thought it through very carefully. You will take care of this matter. When Ashu gets back with the information, we will discuss the next steps."

Fang Li agreed, and in his heart he somewhat believed what the fortune-teller said. This was the first time he had encountered such a bizarre experience.

When night fell, the inn was brightly lit and the Fang family sat in the lobby waiting for news from Ashu.

The scholars around were still talking loudly, their voices full of the youthful vigor and ambition that is typical of young people, while the silence of Fang Yuanwai's family seemed a little out of place here.

About two hours later, Ashu hurried back to the inn with a piece of paper in his hand.

He walked up to Mr. Fang and respectfully handed him the note. Mr. Fang took the note, unfolded it, and his expression changed slightly.

He looked up at Fang Li and spoke in a low voice.

"Li'er, it seems that this matter is very serious. We must treat it with caution."

Fang Li took the note and saw that it said,

"The Taoist priest is nameless and mysterious. He occasionally sets up a stall in the city, but few people see him. Rumor has it that someone once encountered him and asked him to tell his fortune, and then most of them told him to go southwest."

Fang Li frowned, feeling nervous, and said in a deep voice:

"Father, it seems that this Taoist priest is not an ordinary person."

Mr. Fang nodded and looked at Fang Yue, a hint of worry flashed in his eyes.

My daughter was born with congenital deficiencies and has been relying on precious medicinal herbs to sustain her life.

He had consulted countless doctors, but was told that his congenital disease was difficult to remedy. His first move to the capital was just to seek a glimmer of hope.

Now, he is under the guidance of this mysterious Taoist priest.

"Is it true that Yue'er's life is not in the capital?"

Mr. Fang was struggling in his heart as he wanted to find a cure for his daughter, but he didn't want to delay his son's future.

Over the years, Li'er has been wronged a lot in order to heal Yue'er. Although Li'er also loves her younger sister and has never complained, this time it concerns her future, so she can't make a decision easily.

Fang Li looked at his father's expression. He understood his father's worries, but he also loved his sister deeply.

So he resolutely said to his father,

"Father, let's go southwest!

The doctor once asserted that my sister would not live past the age of ten. Now she is five years old and her time is really running out.

I still have a long way to go in my future, and I will have time to find a famous teacher later. This time, I will just go out to study in advance, and my son will stick to his studies during the trip."

When Mr. Fang heard his son say this, he showed relief in his eyes. His son was so good at logic.

Finally, Fang Yuanwai made up his mind and said firmly:

"We are heading southwest to seek a ray of hope. But it will be a pity for my son."

Fang Li shook his head with a determined look.

"Father, Yue'er is my sister. I naturally hope that she can get better. No matter what the result is, I will not regret it."

Fang Yuanwai looked at his son with pride in his eyes. He knew that this decision was not an easy one for Fang Li. The journey to the southwest was full of unknowns and hardships, but he was willing to make sacrifices for his sister.

The next day, orange-gold clouds appeared on the horizon, and the mountains in the distance were still shrouded in the night.

A shout of "Gee!" broke the silence.

A team of carriages slowly drove out of the city gate. The coachmen waved their whips and directed the carriages to the southwest.

The curtain of one of the carriages was gently lifted, revealing a pale-faced little girl. Her eyes were fixed on the increasingly distant Maple City, watching the ancient city walls getting smaller and smaller. Her eyes were filled with confusion and anxiety.

The Taoist's prophecy once again stirred her heart. Could it be a ray of hope for her to become an immortal?

After the carriage had been driving for more than half an hour, there were not many pedestrians on the road. Fang Yue was planning to lower the curtain and rest for a while. Her energy was always not very good, and she got up very early today, so she felt exhausted.

Just after Fang Yue closed her eyes, the carriage suddenly stopped. She heard voices talking outside, so she curiously lifted the curtain.

She saw a Taoist priest walking towards her. Upon closer inspection, she found that it was the middle-aged Taoist priest who had told their fortunes in Fengcheng before. The Taoist priest was dressed differently from before.

He was dressed in a white Taoist robe, pure and flawless. As he walked, the hem of his robe fluttered gently, giving him a sense of otherworldly carefreeness.

The Taoist held a whisk in his hand. The whisk looked ordinary, but it seemed to contain some mysterious power.

His eyes were deep and wise, as if he could see through everything in the world, which made people feel awe.

The Taoist priest walked to Fang Yue's carriage, took out a token from his arms and handed it to Fang Yue.

The token is simple and majestic, full of a sense of heaviness, with exquisite patterns carved on it. The overall color is deep copper, exuding a majestic and mysterious atmosphere.

Fang Yue was attracted by the token and couldn't help but reach out to take it.

When the Taoist saw her take the token, he slowly spoke:

"After arriving at Yishui City, you can enter the road to immortality with this order."

After saying this, the Taoist priest turned around and left without further explanation, and in the blink of an eye he disappeared again.

When Mr. Fang and his son Fang Li arrived, they saw Fang Yue standing there in a daze, his eyes fixed on the token in his hand.

Fang Yue's heart was already filled with turbulent waves. "The Ascension Order" was the Ascension Order she had imagined?

Although she had made some guesses before, but now that the guesses were confirmed and such an opportunity to cultivate immortality was before her, she was so excited that she could hardly breathe.

Fang Yuanwai and Fang Li, father and son, were surprised to see Fang Yue like this. Where did this token come from?

Fang Yue and other officials approached Fang Yuanwai and Fang Li and hurriedly invited them to get on the carriage.

She showed the token in her hand to Mr. Fang and Mr. Fang, and described in detail what had just happened.

Emphasis was placed on the Taoist priest's different attire from the previous time and his mysterious disappearance technique where he disappeared after just taking two steps.

After carefully looking at the token in Fang Yue's hand, Mr. Fang and Fang Li couldn't help but shrink their pupils. Then they looked at each other and found a glimmer of hope in each other's eyes.

If she really met an immortal, and the immortal gave the token to Fang Yue, does it mean that Fang Yue has the destiny to become an immortal? If Fang Yue can become an immortal, the immortal has great magical powers, so what is there to fear about her congenital deficiencies?

Thinking of this possibility, Mr. Fang and his son Fang Li couldn't help but get excited.

Mr. Fang carefully tied the token with a rope and hung it around Fang Yue's neck. He seriously reminded Fang Yue to keep the token well and never tell anyone else about it.

Then Mr. Fang looked at Fang Li again.

Fang Li saw his father's expression and understood what he meant. Cultivating immortality was a great temptation. However, the one who got this opportunity was his beloved sister, so how could he snatch it away?

So he looked back firmly, and the other man said:

"Father, don't worry. The immortals have predicted that my future lies in the capital. Perhaps I will be able to become a marquis or a prime minister in the future. Let me take the path of cultivating immortality."

After hearing this, Mr. Fang nodded with satisfaction. He hugged Fang Li and Fang Yue in his arms.

A blush appeared on the face of the young boy Fang Li. He had not felt the warm embrace of his father for a long time. He always felt particularly safe in his father's arms.
