> Resumos de Fate Chooses You
Under the influence of the order-following spell, Xin Mei found herself unable to swallow a single drop of water or even eat a juicy pear. Lu Qianqiao, traveling with her under the identity of Lord Meishan, noticed her physical distress but remained unaware of the magical nature of her ailment. As a storm approached, they sought refuge in a ruined house, only to find it filled with travelers whose gazes were far from friendly.
The occupants were occupied with talk of the legendary Immortality Pill and the thirty Gongshan Jade Tablets distributed by Su Taiyi of Chongling Valley as vouchers for the elixir. Lu Qianqiao, a bounty guard from the Dongzhou Prefecture, quietly identified nearly everyone in the room as a criminal on his list. Among them were a group of escorts from Lingnan who had murdered their employers and the notorious duo known as Xiyu Sword and Shuangfeng Scissors.
A sudden conflict erupted when a young woman named Lv Yunsu was threatened. Though Xin Mei usually avoided interfering in mortal affairs, she stepped in to protect the girl, allowing Lu Qianqiao to efficiently deal with the outlaws. In the aftermath, they discovered that Lv Yunsu’s protector, Li Si, was a thief who had stolen a Gongshan Jade Tablet from the Ling mansion.
Li Si admitted he had only taken the tablet to save Lv Yunsu, who suffered from terminal heart failure and needed the Immortality Pill to survive. The atmosphere shifted when Li Si revealed that Lv Yunsu was the daughter of the late General Lyu Jing. Lu Qianqiao was visibly moved; he knew the General was a hero who had died defending the Beixiang border, having eaten nothing but grass and tree bark to stay at his post.
Respecting the General’s sacrifice, Lu Qianqiao decided to let Li Si and the girl go, telling them to pretend they had never met him. This act of mercy sparked a conversation about the nature of rules. Lu Qianqiao challenged Xin Mei's rigid adherence to her sect's regulations, suggesting that if a rule is wrong, it shouldn't be followed.
He shared his own philosophy, noting that he believes his ordinary sword is the greatest in the world simply because he chooses to believe in it, rather than following the opinions of others. Xin Mei continued toward Chongling Valley with Lv Yunsu and Li Si, but they were soon intercepted by a man named Zhang Dahu.
Claiming to be a representative of the valley, he convinced the group to abandon their carriage and board a cramped boat, promising a shortcut that would bypass the long lines. Upon arrival, Xin Mei realized they had been scammed. There was a bridge they could have easily crossed on foot, and Zhang Dahu demanded payment for his "guidance" even though they hadn't seen a doctor yet.
At the clinic at Suwen Hall, a medicine boy named Huaiqing treated them with coldness, as cultivators were generally unwelcome in this sanctuary for the sick. While the various sects and officials gathered at Longevity Hall to count their jade tablets and wait for the pill, Su Taiyi remained secluded within Mount Jiujue.
The elders revealed that Su Taiyi had fortified Jiujue Cave with a dragon-severing stone, a mechanism that ensured the entire mountain would collapse if any outsider tried to force their way in. In the hidden depths of the cave, Lu Qianqiao and Chu Ying appeared before the elderly Zhu Yu and Su Taiyi.
Despite being a legendary physician, Su Taiyi greeted Lu Qianqiao with the profound respect one shows an ancestral master, revealing that he had been sending out letters for years in the hopes of Lu Qianqiao's return.
