Hearing the old Grand National Master say this, Chen Xuan and Baili Yunsu both looked toward Ji Wushuang. Seeing the expression on her face, they both knew that the old man's words were likely true.
The concept of "fate" is something ethereal and mysterious, yet both Chen Xuan and Baili Yunsu were compelled to believe in it, as both had experienced it firsthand. Chen Xuan, in particular, had embarked on a long, arduous journey to escape his own calamity—a path that had even led to the cancellation of his engagement to Shen Binglan. Therefore, he did not doubt the old Grand National Master's words in the slightest.
It seemed that Ji Wushuang now faced a choice: either abandon her pursuit of the title of National Master or marry Baili Yunsu. As the Buddha said, "Every drink and every meal is predestined; the fruit of today stems from the karma of yesterday." Ji Wushuang felt a bitter smile rise within her. To become the National Master, she had paid any price, including agreeing to this alliance with Baili Yunsu. Now, she found herself caught in a knot of cause and effect she could not escape.
