Chapter 570: Chapter 571 Request_1

"What are you looking at?"

Sitting on the rooftop of the inn in Yongning City, Feng Yuan gazed up at the starry sky. ’Mo Li’ looked at him with a hint of curiosity and said, raising the wine gourd in his hand, Feng Yuan shook it and said

"Care for a drink?"

Smiling and shaking his head, ’Mo Li’ said

"No, thank you. I still have military affairs to deal with later, and you... why exactly did you... this afternoon?"

With a mischievous grin, Feng Yuan said

"Just testing you."

"Why?"

"What do you think will happen next in Great Li? Nanyu is already in chaos, and Great Yan has been hit too. Do you really think Great Cang and Chi Yu have no plans? And the King of Great Li..."

"Heh, it’s been too peaceful for too long."

As he spoke, Feng Yuan raised the wine gourd to take a big gulp. Noticing the scent was off, ’Mo Li’ looked at him doubtfully and said

"Is that wine in your gourd?"

Glancing at ’Mo Li’, Feng Yuan smiled and said

"No, it’s not. I don’t like alcohol. Apart from making my head dizzy, it serves no purpose. Even if I get completely drunk, besides acting foolishly under the influence, nothing changes..."

"What you’re saying is also..."

Feng Yuan smiled softly without responding, lifted his head to look at the sky full of stars, and said in a low voice

"It’s really cold tonight, even though spring is supposed to be on its way..."

"Are you planning to freeload off of it?"

Seeing Feng Yuan climb onto Xiao Ji’s back again after dinner, Guo Huai said with some disapproval, and Xiao Ji gave him a disdainful look and hummed happily. Lying on Xiao Ji’s back, Feng Yuan hugged a Pomiti-branded pillow and hummed

"I fought for so long today, I’m tired."

"Do you really think I’m the only one who can save Nanyu?"

"What?!"

Startled by Feng Yuan’s out-of-the-blue remark, Guo Huai and the others looked surprised. Liu Wenli, who was carrying a fruit platter and was about to come over, froze when she heard Feng Yuan’s words. After a moment, she chuckled slightly and said

"It seems you’ve seen right through me."

"At least, I haven’t found any other way yet."

"How can you be sure he will help you?"

Guo Huai asked Liu Wenli, puzzled, and Feng Yuan glanced at Liu Wenli and said

"The possibility you see might not exist, I’m not interested in saving Nanyu."

Having said that, Feng Yuan sat up and stared at Liu Wenli

"To put it cruelly, Nanyu’s destruction is already a foregone conclusion. No one can resist it."

"Fate?"

Liu Wenli stared intently at Feng Yuan, her eyes reflecting a mysterious light. After evaluating Feng Yuan for a moment, Liu Wenli scoffed

"Have you already submitted to fate?"

"If you want to put it that way, sure, what about it?"

"I don’t believe in fate."

Liu Wenli said, staring at Feng Yuan

"Help me, believe in me, there’s nothing that is predetermined!"

"Yes, nothing is predetermined. Even the chaos in the south isn’t unchangeable, but... the cost."

"Do you really think you haven’t lost anything?"

"I..."

Liu Wenli lowered her head and remained silent. Feng Yuan set down the Pomiti and had Little Green Snake take care of it, slid down from Xiao Ji’s back, and walked to Liu Wenli’s side, whispering

"I guess you don’t want them to know about you, shall we step aside and talk it over properly?"

Liu Wenli lifted her head to glance at Feng Yuan, not refusing. Seeing Feng Yuan pull Liu Wenli aside to talk in private, Guo Huai curiously said

"What’s he up to?"

"Probably something personal, otherwise he wouldn’t have specifically avoided us."

Yao Yin glanced briefly then paid them no further attention, continuing to console Mo Ling. After all, Feng Yuan had been acting somewhat off today, making the battle extremely bloody. Mo Li was relatively okay, but Mo Ling was just enduring the discomfort, having eaten very little at dinner. Hua Yiyou thought for a moment and pulled Mo Li aside to talk about something.

"I’m actually not worried about them knowing my true identity, I’ve never hidden it, have I?"

Liu Wenli calmly said to Feng Yuan, leaning against the trunk of a tree while Feng Yuan, with his arms crossed over his chest, assessed Liu Wenli

"Are you certain you want others to know about your ability to see parts of the future?"

"I certainly don’t have that kind of legendary ability~"

"You can’t fool me, although you’ve tried your best to suppress it, the power of time is too obvious."

Having taken a glance at Liu Wenli, Feng Yuan casually said as he looked at the tree leaves above him in a soft voice,

"You shouldn’t be doing this for yourself, as Nanyu and Tian Fang have absolutely nothing to do with each other, and before this, you hardly had any interaction with the people from the southern regions of Divine Land."

"And then?"

Bending over, Feng Yuan examined a plant emitting a faint, ice-blue glow at the side of the tree and said,

"Can you tell me why you really want to save Nanyu?"

"Heh, when have I ever wanted to save Nanyu?"

Glancing at the Telekinetic Brown Bear beside her, Liu Wenli murmured softly,

"You’re right, to change fate, I’ve lost too much..."

"However, I don’t want to submit to fate! If deciding the future means rolling the dice each time, then I will keep rolling until I get the outcome I’m satisfied with! Even fate can’t stop me!"

Feng Yuan smiled and plucked the glowing fruit from the plant, handing it over and said,

"Here, it should at least alleviate some of its injuries."

"You..."

Turning his back, Feng Yuan said calmly,

"No matter how you resist fate, please don’t forget those friends and family members who have made sacrifices for you... maybe they have borne the cost of reversing fate for you."

"So, are you afraid?"

Having taken a look at the firm Telekinetic Brown Bear standing behind Liu Wenli, Feng Yuan stroked Xiao Ji’s head, which had somehow sneaked up beside him, and said,

"Yes, I’m afraid. I’m afraid that excessively changing the future could harm the friends beside me."

Xiao Ji nuzzled Feng Yuan with its head, calling out softly. Liu Wenli, unable to refute while looking at the firm Telekinetic Brown Bear standing behind her, handed the fruit to the bear and said in a low voice,

"I’m sorry..."

Stuffing the fruit into its mouth, the Telekinetic Brown Bear hugged Liu Wenli as she turned to face it. Its fluffy bear paws gently patted her back as if to comfort her. Reluctantly pushing away the Telekinetic Brown Bear, Liu Wenli stared at Feng Yuan and asked,

"Will you help me or not?"

"Since it’s not about saving Nanyu, then what exactly do you want to do?"

"Me? I hope the person you encountered today is okay!"

Feng Yuan looked at Liu Wenli in surprise and said,

"Why? You don’t know each other, do you?"

"I know her, but she doesn’t know me."

"She wields a long sword like me and has its guardianship, only... her life is much better than mine..."

Feng Yuan curled his lips disdainfully and said,

"It doesn’t look to me like she lives a joyful life, being busy putting out fires everywhere."

"You wouldn’t understand, she has things to do and family by her side, which really makes me envious..."

"Just because she resembles you in some ways, you want to help her?"

"Is that reason not good enough?"

After carefully observing Liu Wenli, Feng Yuan smiled and said,

"It’s not that it isn’t good enough, but do you know how to save her? You can’t possibly think of carving out a bloody path with her, could you? Leaving aside whether it’s possible, would she even agree?"

"I’m not sure at the moment, but I know that there must be a way if I stay by your side!"

"Why are you so sure?"

Feng Yuan looked at Liu Wenli somewhat surprised; he was certain that she had no idea of his true identity. Though she had the ability to see through part of the future, she definitely couldn’t see through him completely.

With a sly smile, Liu Wenli said,

"If there were some doubts before, now I can be sure that you definitely have a way!"

"Actually, you don’t need to follow me. You could have easily infiltrated Wei Dingwu’s side. I believe you could make her see you as a dear friend. When the time comes, just take her to King Nanyu’s side and escape with them... No, that’s not right. King Nanyu probably won’t choose to run away. He, like you, will not submit to fate."

Remembering a rather famous relic from later generations, Feng Yuan corrected himself, while Liu Wenli said softly,

"Not submit to fate?"

"You don’t have to think about saving him, it’s impossible."

Smiling slightly, Liu Wenli said happily,

"I thought I was the only one~ Don’t worry, I understand. If he truly doesn’t want to submit to fate, he certainly won’t come with me. We, should we leave, will go out with a bang~"

Feng Yuan took one last look at the Telekinetic Brown Bear standing behind Liu Wenli and said nothing; he knew some things were pointless to discuss at this moment.
