> Resúmenes de Fate Chooses You
At the Liubo Temple, Lu Qianqiao worked tirelessly on the production of the "Unparalleled Secret Magic". He handled every stage of the process alone, from applying the printing ink and pressing the pages to cutting the paper and sorting the finished scrolls. When the Lord of Rust-Sword stopped by to check on the progress, he noticed the varying thicknesses of the stacks.
Lu Qianqiao explained that they were printing everything in duplicate to ensure accuracy, though some pages from the earlier volumes remained incomplete or were still drying. Although the Lord of Rust-Sword offered to help, Lu Qianqiao politely declined, noting he had finished his carving for the day. The arrival of mealtime brought a sudden shift in Lu Qianqiao’s focus. Having recently undergone the grueling process of purifying his blood, he possessed an insatiable appetite.
However, the dinner Xin Mei prepared consisted entirely of cabbage, as she had arrived at the market too late to find anything else. While Sheng happily ate whatever her senior sister made, the burnt smell of the dish made it difficult for the Lord of Rust-Sword and Zuo Yingying to swallow.
As they picked at their food, they discussed Volume 16 of the manual, which recounted the tale of Ma Sheng, also known as Lord Youyang, who rose from a humble stable hand to a border protector. Lu Qianqiao praised the meal’s unique flavor, but the others quietly agreed to sneak out for a late-night snack. Meanwhile, the leaders of the immortal sects gathered to discuss the fallout from the Qinghong Sect.
Li Mofu expressed his outrage at the Master of the Qinghong Sect for his cold-blooded business of extracting spiritual roots to refine Yangyuan Pills. He vowed to order all sects to conduct internal inspections and purge any traitors. Jiang Ji was deeply concerned about Bai Zongying’s recovery, but Li Mofu offered little hope; with a destroyed Qihai and a stolen spiritual root, the damage was irreparable.
During the meeting, Sima Randeng and Cang Fengzi cast doubt on how Lin Muhan and Jiang Ji managed to escape the Qinghong Sect’s headquarters. Choosing to protect Lu Qianqiao’s identity, they claimed they had used the internal chaos of a rebellion to slip away. Lin Muhan then formally accused Sima Randeng of cowardice, detailing how Sima had used a junior disciple as a human shield before abandoning his fellow disciples to flee the battle.
When Sima Randeng tried to dismiss the accusation, Lin Muhan produced the touchstone of Tianyin Mountain to test his honesty. Sima, knowing the stone would expose his lies, could only fall to his knees in silence. Disgraced by his disciple’s actions, Cang Fengzi scolded Sima before Li Mofu, and the decision of punishment was left to Lin Muhan. Sima offered a hollow apology and suggested Lin Muhan punch him to vent his anger.
Lin Muhan did not hold back, delivering two heavy blows that left Sima spitting blood, finally settling the grievance. Back at the manor, Sheng stayed up to proofread the scrolls while Xin Mei brought her some sweet soup. While helping Sheng tidy her bed, Xin Mei discovered a ring, which led Sheng to open up about her complicated past with Jin Lun.
Sheng confessed that she hadn't intentionally abandoned Jin Lun at Wushui Cliff; instead, the sudden sight of Xia Xuanzi had terrified her so much that she momentarily lost her composure and let go of his hand. She had assumed Jin Lun died, but he survived the fall—albeit at the cost of an arm—thanks to a protective bracelet.
When they later crossed paths at Crescent Lake, Sheng had acted heartlessly to drive him away, wanting to protect him from the danger of following her. In town, Lu Qianqiao met with Zuo Yingying and the Lord of Rust-Sword at a century-old shop known for its sheep blood tofu stew. Lu Qianqiao, who had recently recovered his sense of taste, found the rich broth to be a revelation.
During their meal, he asked if they were bothered by the revelation that he was a War Demon. To his relief, both Zuo Yingying and the Lord of Rust-Sword were entirely indifferent to his lineage, treating him only as their friend. Before leaving, Lu Qianqiao made sure to pack two portions of the stew to bring back for Xin Mei and Sheng.
At the Tianyuan Sect, Jiang Ji decided to stay behind to care for the weakened Bai Zongying, recalling how he had once saved her life and eyes during a dangerous formation. Nearby, Lin Muhan found Jin Lun staying in a dilapidated hut. Observing that Jin Lun’s Dao heart was in turmoil, Lin Muhan sat with him and set up a formation to protect and stabilize his meditation.
As the days passed, Xin Mei realized that her own cultivation had plateaued because she had inadvertently inhaled turbid qi during the battle. Though it had begun to erode her spiritual root, she accepted that she would never progress beyond the Nascent Soul stage. Lu Qianqiao, whose memories had fully returned, shared a secret with her. He revealed that his companion, Chu Ying, was actually a spirit tree he had brought to life years ago to combat his loneliness.
Since Chu Ying’s existence was tied to Lu Qianqiao’s own power, the spirit was weakening as Lu Qianqiao’s cultivation dropped. Using his restored knowledge, Lu Qianqiao helped Xin Mei recover her lost memories. In the quiet of their room, they shared a tender moment and a kiss, which was accidentally witnessed through the window by Sheng and the Lord of Rust-Sword. Afterward, they spoke of their future once the printing was complete.
Lu Qianqiao planned to follow a travel journal left by Su to taste the various delicacies of the world. Xin Mei, amused by his new obsession with food, promised to take him to the food street near her own sect, where they could find everything from Yangchun noodles to meatball stews.
