> Resúmenes de Fate Chooses You
Lin Muhan, the Young Sect Master of Lingji Mountain, and his junior sister, Jiang Ji, gathered at the Peaceful Inn with other cultivators, including the unaffiliated Jin Lun and the flirtatious Zuo Yingying of the Cyan-Rainbow Sect. They were also joined by Nangong Guohong of Riyue Cave, who used music as a weapon. They promised to capture the rogue cultivator Xin Mei to reassure the official Song Qingbao.
During the meal, Zuo Yingying attempted to provoke Lu Qianqiao by suggesting he strike at Jiang Ji, but he remained indifferent to her taunts. The inn’s landlady, Li Niang, attempted to incapacitate the group using Immortal-Sealing Powder from Chongling Valley. A skirmish ensued, and when Lin Muhan launched a powerful strike at Li Niang, Lu Qianqiao intervened and blocked the blow.
Stunned that a man with a mortal body could withstand his power, Lin Muhan offered a bottle of Yangyuan Pills as a peace offering for the trouble caused at the inn. While the cultivators prepared to head for the capital, Zuo Yingying noted her growing curiosity about Lu’s true strength. Meanwhile, at Xin Xie Manor, Asheng took drastic measures against her master, Xin Xiong.
Knowing he had used the Jiu Xi technique to seal his own acupoints just to get drunk, she tied him up while he was powerless. She had discovered a court dispatch hidden in the wine cellar for four days, which detailed a female cultivator named Xin killing officials in the capital to avenge her husband.
Despite her master’s claim that Xin Mei had only gone to visit an elderly relative, Asheng was certain the description referred to her senior sister and set off to find the truth. In the capital, Xin Mei launched a daring attack on the residence of Liang Wenjing, the Minister of the Court of Judicial Review. She was intercepted by Mr. Gui of the Cyan-Rainbow Sect, who berated her for wasting her talents on mortal grievances.
During their fierce duel, Xin Mei feigned weakness to lure Mr. Gui’s Sunblock Banner into destroying the manor’s gate. To finish her, Mr. Gui activated a formation that reversed time by fifty years within a small realm, allowing him to return to his peak cultivation. He believed Xin Mei would be rendered a powerless novice by the time shift.
However, Xin Mei revealed she was a "Heavenly Spiritual Root" who had reached the threshold of the Golden Core realm by age twenty. She explained that she chose to remain a Stage 4 Qi Refining cultivator only because she could not tolerate the world’s injustices or the way power crushed the innocent. Harnessing her peak power from her twenty-year-old self, she overwhelmed and killed Mr. Gui within his own formation.
Though she was successful, the effort left her completely exhausted, and she collapsed. As Lu Qianqiao and Chu Ying arrived in the city, they noted that the guards remained on high alert, confirming that Xin Mei had not been captured. While Lu Qianqiao gave silver to beggars—a gesture born from his own memories of childhood hardship—he listened to the city's gossip.
The public had romanticized the conflict, believing Xin Mei and the late official Lu Huai were childhood sweethearts seeking tragic vengeance against corruption. Lu Qianqiao realized that while the people sympathized with her, the immortal sects were closing in. Elsewhere, Asheng arrived in Pingxiang Town, where she used a high-grade pill to save a young girl dying from snake venom. Jin Lun followed her, but Asheng sensed his presence and gave him a cold warning to stay away.
Back in the capital, the children Lu Xiaodao and Jiujiu managed to recover the unconscious Xin Mei. They desperately sought medical help by snatching a traveling medicine seller, only to find the man was a fraud who sold fake "Ten-Complete Tonic Pills" and had no real ability to heal her. Lin Muhan and Jiang Ji reached the Liang residence and deduced that Mr. Gui’s sentient Sunblock Banner had likely parasitized Xin Mei’s flesh to survive.
Since the banner was an artifact of extreme darkness that suppressed all light, Lin Muhan devised a plan to flush her out. He consumed Yangyuan Pills and used his own blood to activate the "Blood-Guided Thousand Lanterns" formation, forcibly igniting every lamp in the capital. Jiang Ji watched from the city's highest point, knowing that the one patch of absolute darkness in the glowing city would reveal Xin Mei’s location. Watching the sky change, Lu Qianqiao realized that the cultivators were using their arts to set a trap that Xin Mei could not easily escape.
