> Resumos de Fate Chooses You
Lu Qianqiao and Xin Mei shared a fleeting moment of intimacy that left Xin Mei so restless she couldn't sleep that night. As they lingered outside, Lu Qianqiao eventually urged her to rest, and they exchanged soft farewells. Meishan Jun, watching from the shadows, jokingly told Xin Mei to get some sleep, calling her his "junior sister." Xin Mei hurried away, playfully questioning when she had ever become his junior. At the Tianyuan Sect, the atmosphere was far more somber.
Sect Leader Li Mofu received distinguished guests but pointedly excluded his former top disciple, Bai Zongying. While a kind-hearted junior brought Bai some snacks from the foot of the mountain, a messenger soon arrived from Manager Yu. Finding that Bai had no duties, the manager assigned the former prodigy to the menial task of fetching water, a chore usually reserved for the lowliest disciples.
Bai Zongying was joined by a junior disciple from the Suxin Hall who had spent over a decade in the sect with little progress in his cultivation. As they rested, the junior explained that the mountain was once a blessed land picked by the founder, but after the Battle of Pinghu, its spiritual veins and vegetation had withered. The ancestors refused to abandon the site, decreeing that every new disciple must carry water up the mountain for three years.
Bai, who had been a "Heavenly Talent," had bypassed such hardships in his youth. Now, he had to endure the sight of other disciples mocking his fall from a Nascent Soul master to a common laborer. The conversation took a significant turn when the junior mentioned the "Wooden Ox and Gliding Horse," legendary inventions by human artisans that could carry goods across mountains as if on flat ground.
Though the technology was lost, the mention of it triggered a realization in Bai Zongying. He finally understood why Xin Mei had fought so hard to protect the Wushuang Society in Beixiang; they were preserving the very knowledge that allowed ordinary humans to overcome the limitations of nature. Meanwhile, at Liubo Temple, the group passed the time with a card game.
Sheng and Zuo Yingying proved to be a formidable team, winning a significant amount of money from Xin Mei and Meishan Jun. Seeing Xin Mei’s mounting losses, Lu Qianqiao stepped in. Despite having only watched for a short while, he played with such skill that he quickly won back everything, leaving Sheng and Zuo Yingying with no desire to continue. Later that night, Lu Qianqiao brought meat buns made by Xin Mei to Sheng.
He spoke of his own lonely childhood as a drifter and told Sheng that while she once only had her master and sister, she now had him as a third family member. Sheng, though stoic, accepted the gesture and ate the buns. The degradation of Bai Zongying’s status continued as he was ordered to move out of his private courtyard.
A subordinate informed him that he was to live in a communal dormitory with the ordinary disciples, claiming it would be "less lonely" for someone who no longer needed to cultivate. While others whispered about his disgrace, the junior disciple Yuanqi was overjoyed to have Bai as a roommate, hoping to learn from his vast experience even if his spiritual power was gone. In a nearby town, Xin Mei took Lu Qianqiao on an extensive shopping trip.
She bought him elegant new robes, boots, and a hat, making him look like a refined gentleman, yet she repeatedly delayed their meal despite Lu’s growing hunger. Eventually, she led him to a grand restaurant where the rest of the group was waiting. It was Lu’s birthday, and Xin Mei had arranged the feast to fulfill a promise about eating the finest food in a great hall.
She offered him a poetic blessing, wishing him longevity and happiness, a gesture that deeply moved him. Back at the Tianyuan Sect, Sima Randeng orchestrated a confrontation. He encouraged his junior, Yuanfeng, to challenge Bai’s roommate, Yuanqi, to a duel. Although Bai Zongying had lost his spiritual root, his tactical genius remained. He coached Yuanqi to stay in close combat and disrupt Yuanfeng’s rhythm, preventing him from focusing on his sword-controlling technique.
Following Bai’s guidance, Yuanqi won the spar using a simple starting technique. Infuriated by the loss, Sima Randeng personally struck out and injured Yuanqi. Jiang Ji arrived just as Sima was bullying them. She had traveled to Tianyin Mountain and Taishan Cave to obtain rare medicines like the 100-Rotation Pill and Wash-Marrow Pill for Bai. However, Bai refused the medicine, knowing it could not help his condition. He urged Jiang Ji to return to her own sect at Lingji Mountain.
When she begged him to leave with her, offering to go anywhere in the world, Bai delivered a final, painful rejection. He told her plainly that even if his powers remained, they would never be together because he did not love her and already had another woman in his heart. With the "Unparalleled Secret Magic" needing to be returned to the Central Plains, the group decided to split into two paths for safety.
Lu Qianqiao and Xin Mei headed west toward Xutuo City, while Sheng and Meishan Jun took the eastern route through the desert. Zuo Yingying bid them farewell to return to her own home. However, their movements were being closely watched by Li Mofu and Cang Fengzi. As soon as they left Liubo Temple, a secret message was sent back to the Tianyuan Sect, confirming their departure.
