Fellow Daoist! That scoundrel has written a new book again.

Outside the water mirror.

Sect Leader Fang watched this scene with a hint of appreciation.

Through the act of "buying and selling," the little girl earned money with her own hands, and in this small world, she was given a destiny of "self-improvement."

In a virtual world with so many variables, how can one possibly calculate everything?

Unfortunately, breaking through the mirror's inner realm is easy, but resolving destiny is difficult...

However, the divination method she used vaguely resembled the rudiments of "divination of the heavens," and within this simple illusion, the truth could already be glimpsed.

She calculated not only the little girl's fate, but also the true nature of this illusory realm.

It seems... Little Yezi really found the right person.

She gently waved her hand, calming the anomaly in the water mirror and temporarily suppressing the changes within it.

Behind them, Elder Chi and Elder Xiaobai were still arguing.

The object of their argument was Xu San'er.

After entering the mirror world, the fat man also understood the connection between the two prophetic statements.

He did not rashly attempt to take the little girl away.

During his first reincarnation, Xu San'er took the little girl as his apprentice, but did not sever the so-called "kinship".

But who would have thought that the couple had their own child, and since the little girl had been taken away, they simply pretended she didn't exist.

And so—this kinship was severed.

During the second cycle, Xu San'er did not attack the couple, not because he was afraid, but because he knew it would be futile, so he did not do so.

He rolled his eyes and made an attempt—to target the couple's biological child.

Unexpectedly, the little girl discovered it.

After a moment's consideration, Xu San'er stopped and fled.

The little girl saved her younger brother and sister, and although their lives improved somewhat, she eventually died from exhaustion and illness, unable to afford medical treatment.

Xu San'er narrowed his eyes slightly, as he had come up with a way to break the deadlock.

To be precise, he already had a plan in mind during his second reincarnation.

Xu San'er looked up at the sky and guessed that there must be seniors from the Star-Picking Tower watching outside the water mirror.

This... is a bit troublesome.

If he makes a move, he will surely be disliked by the Star-Picking Tower; but if he doesn't make a move, he won't even have the right to be disliked by the Star-Picking Tower.

Xu San'er looked up at the sky, cupped his hands in a gesture of respect, and said with a somewhat ingratiating smile:

"Seniors, I'm about to break this deadlock. Although this method is somewhat unethical, it is undeniably effective. Please forgive me!"

Whether or not anyone heard him, his attitude was appropriate, wasn't it?

After saying this, Xu San'er swaggered into the courtyard, making quite a show of himself.

With a wave of his hand, he closed the courtyard gate, circulated his spiritual energy, and his clothes and hair moved without wind, making him look somewhat like a celestial being.

"I have been traveling around and have discovered that I have a predestined master-disciple relationship with you."

The little girl had just been beaten, and when she heard those words, she seemed both scared and expectant.

But Xu San'er didn't look at her; instead, he looked into the room.

He landed gracefully, flicked his sleeves, and said:

"Your twins are born with extraordinary talents, but their talents have been wasted because they were born into a poor family."

Having said that, he took out a black jade abacus, making it float in the air and tremble slightly. Xu San'er's eyes lit up, and he said with considerable satisfaction:

“Very good, these twins can inherit my mantle.”

The couple watched the legendary immortal technique with bated breath, feeling a mixture of excitement and fear upon hearing that their child had a "predestined connection with the immortals."

"This...this immortal, is our child truly destined for immortality? Can he learn immortal arts?"

"Yes."

Xu San'er nodded solemnly, then sighed:

"It's a pity I arrived too late. I didn't enlighten them when they were just born, which has delayed their talents. These two children are like pearls hidden in the dust by your side."

Upon hearing Xu San'er's words, the couple hesitated. They wanted their child to cultivate immortality, but they were also worried about his safety and were reluctant to entrust him to the immortal in front of them.

Xu San'er patiently and skillfully persuaded him, and in the end, he even thoughtfully offered a solution—

He gathered his spiritual energy and pretended to envelop the little girl, then laughed:

“I have cast a spell to link her fate with yours and your child’s. If your child’s life is in danger, she will become seriously ill or even die.”

"On the contrary, if she is healthy, it means your child will be well and worry-free."

The little girl was frightened when she heard that if her younger siblings were in danger, she would also perish. Her eyes filled with tears.

But looking left and right, no one seemed to care about her thoughts.

Her parents were only concerned with asking when her younger sister and brother would finish their studies and return home. She huddled in a corner and hugged herself tightly.

Xu San'er took the twins and left, leaving only the couple and the little girl at home.

Life stress has decreased dramatically.

Since they are their own children, they naturally think about them often, so how could the couple sever their kinship?

Therefore, the little girl's fate was accurately predicted; she was destined to have a younger sister and brother... and the twins, though not by their parents' side, were also safe and sound.

Xu San'er held the two children, smiling as he watched the world in the mirror unfold.

You won't know the pain until you get slapped yourself.

People will protect their own interests, so when the little girl's interests become intertwined with those of the couple, how could they dare to easily give them up?

As for the twins... they survived, didn't they?

Outside the water mirror, the rigid Elder Xiaobai was so angry he couldn't speak, and Elder Chi, seeing this outcome, was also at a loss for words.

"This child is ruthless and unscrupulous. If he makes even the slightest mistake, he will go astray and harm the world!"

Elder Chi also frowned slightly.

This Xu San'er shouldn't have been allowed into the mountain gate; even if he had, he should have been thrown out.

As it happened, the boy named Xiao Liuzi discovered a strange phenomenon when his mutated single spiritual root appeared, attracting everyone's attention. This allowed the fat man to take advantage of the situation and break through the mountain gate.

But that's not all.

He was actually able to break through the illusory world reflected in the water mirror.

Could it be... that he really intends to enter the Star-Picking Tower?

Elder Chi looked at the fat man's ingratiating smile and sneered inwardly. Just as he had expected, this man was cunning and treacherous.

It seems that it wasn't that he was destined to enter the Star-Picking Tower, but rather that the Star-Picking Tower was destined to suffer this calamity.

Elder Chi thought to himself, but he knew that this "wrongful accusation" was somewhat impulsive and unreasonable.

The sect leader next to him also roughly understood what was going on.

She looked at Xu San'er in the water mirror and suddenly said:

"If this person reaches the Golden Core stage, he might be able to compete for the last position as a personal disciple."

Upon hearing this, Elder Xiaobai and Elder Chi had different expressions.

They were all direct disciples of the previous generation of Zhaixinglou, so how could they not understand the meaning of these words?

Elder Chi remained silent.

Elder Xiaobai wanted to say something, but only sighed, seemingly disagreeing.

Sect Leader Fang chuckled and offered his advice:

"We will not get involved in this matter. What the future holds depends on each person's own fate."
