> Resumos de Fate Chooses You
Xia Xuanzi emerged from his seclusion in the Qianlü Caves to the grim news of his son's death. Through his formidable powers, he reviewed the past and identified Xin Mei as the one responsible. Aware that she had already arrived in North Xiang, Xia Xuanzi summoned a black crow and commanded it to find her while he prepared to deal with her personally.
On their journey to North Xiang, Tai Shiqian attempted to win over Xin Mei and Sheng by offering them a specialized sleeping bag. He explained that such practical human inventions were suppressed by the immortal sects, who forbade commoners from selling anything innovative. This led to a discussion about the origins of the Qiandie Scripture.
Tai Shiqian claimed the forging techniques in the scripture actually belonged to his ancestor, the master craftsman Zhu Qiandie, and had been recorded by the sect's ancestor Lin Ye without permission. He further lamented how the sects used high taxes and seed control to suppress the cultivation of the high-yielding "Golden Tassel" maize, forcing the population to rely on rare spirit rice to maintain control over the human race.
During a stop at the Yunhan Inn, Zuo Yingying approached Lu Qianqiao. Having witnessed his strength, she revealed she knew he was the one who had annihilated the Bishui Branch to avenge a female cultivator. Rather than exposing him, she proposed a deal: if Lu Qianqiao killed the brute Wenyin Vajra for her, she would keep his secrets. Lu Qianqiao accepted but tasked her with finding the Sunblock Banner in return.
Their meeting was interrupted by the arrival of Lin Muhan, the young master of Lingji Mountain. When a conflict nearly broke out over room availability, Zuo Yingying smoothed things over by surrendering her room to Lin Muhan. As they neared the heart of North Xiang, Sheng’s return triggered traumatic memories. She recalled her childhood as a "monster" abandoned by her mother and the agonizing moment she was poisoned by a Baihua snake under the orders of "Old Seven."
Meanwhile, Lin Muhan caught up with his acquaintance Lu Qianqiao. He shared his mission to eliminate the Wushuang Society, a group of demonic cultivators who had plundered his sect’s archives. Sensing the danger of being involved with the sects, Tai Shiqian, Zhu Dajian, and Shi Wen made a quiet exit. In the city, Xia Xuanzi’s youthful appearance nearly led to his kidnapping by human traffickers.
Jin Lun, a practitioner of the Path of Severing Emotions, intervened to save the thugs from certain death, though they remained ungrateful. Jin Lun and Xia Xuanzi engaged in a philosophical debate; Xia Xuanzi mocked Jin Lun’s desire to protect life as naive, warning that his lingering emotions would eventually lead to a spiritual backlash. After they parted ways, Xia Xuanzi proved his ruthlessness by tracking down the traffickers and killing them anyway.
Tai Shiqian and his associates tried to raise funds in the city by running a horse lottery game. Although a winner was declared and the game appeared legitimate, the disgruntled crowd suspected a scam after losing their silver. When the local guards were called, the trio had to abandon their prize and flee, narrowly escaping under the eyes of Xin Mei and Sheng. Later, Xin Mei and Sheng rescued a caravan leader from the Bishui Branch dungeon.
From him, Xin Mei learned the truth about her recovery: Lu Qianqiao had traveled thousands of miles to North Xiang specifically to kill He Wabu, the man who had cast the Spell of Utterance on her. Realizing that Lu Qianqiao had left her side at the Spirit Valley only to save her life, Xin Mei became more determined than ever to find him. At the inn, the group tended to Changyuan, whose scorpion poison had reached his vital organs.
Fortunately, Meishan Jun and Lu Zhanying returned with the Dragon Subduing Grass just in time to treat the wound. Seeking to locate Lu Qianqiao, Xin Mei asked Tai Shiqian to use his "Spirit Projection" technique. Since she lacked a personal token to guide the spell, Tai Shiqian initiated the complex Heaven-Offering Ritual to amplify his power. As the ritual began, Xin Mei focused her spirit, entering her own spiritual sea to find the gate that would connect her to Lu Qianqiao.
