Chapter 65: Chapter 64: Strange Fate

The multilingual boy mage rushed to say, "Pah, is a simple thank you really enough? Do you have any idea what it cost Lord Junior Fate to save your father? He must have lost at least..."

"Yu Ji, no more words," the young man in white gave a slight nod. He is not one for many words, his facial expressions scarce, a definitive poker face, truly a waste of his handsome features.

Fortunately, his brief and powerful speech suits his aura, akin to that of a Banished Immortal.

"My name is Xia Wenxu, a servant of the Magic Temple. The healing was a minor effort, no thanks are necessary," said the young man in white, yet his gaze fell upon the remains of the Wind Maggot Beast not far away.

Xia Siming—no wonder his name sounded familiar. The one mentioned by the Great Magic Director of Qi City Temple, Xia Siming, was him; Xia Wenxu, a teenage Sky Mage, a name she would remember.

"Miss Yun, might you grant me the remains of this Wind Maggot Beast?" Xia Wenxu’s face flushed slightly.

Though the Magic Temple has many branches across the continent, such as the Banana Leaf Temple and Qi City Temple, there is only one true Magic Temple.

Though Yun Sheng does not yet know the status of Si Ming within the Magic Temple, Xia Wenxu’s identity is undoubtedly prestigious.

For him to personally make a request is already a great honor.

He came here this time for the Beast Blood Cloud. The Demon Beasts bred within the Beast Blood Cloud are extraordinary, and the Magic Temple has been dedicated to slaying and collecting them over the years. This Wind Maggot Beast was slain by Yun Canghai and, according to the longstanding customs of Wuji Continent, unclaimed Demon Beasts belong to the slayer.

With Yun Canghai unconscious, it is up to Yun Sheng to decide the fate of the Wind Maggot Beast.

Therefore, Xia Wenxu asked Yun Sheng to give up the Wind Maggot Beast.

At this moment, Little Black was slyly carrying a limb of the Wind Maggot Beast, facing off against the mage named Yu Ji.

The sight of a man and a dog was quite amusing.

Yun Sheng also noticed her Little Black’s sneaky actions; it seemed to have a particular interest in High-level Demon Beast meat.

This Wind Maggot Beast is a High-level Demon Beast, its meat rich in Magic Elements, a pity that Xia Wenxu had already asked for it.

The few people from the Magic Temple, who had traveled far and wide to this desolate village, would surely not easily give up the remains of the Wind Maggot Beast.

"Lord Xia, you flatter me. You saved my father, so let this Wind Maggot Beast serve as your reward. Please take it," said Yun Sheng as she helped Yun Canghai to his feet, her petite frame juxtaposed against the tall figure of her father.

Xia Wenxu’s eyes flashed briefly, something inside him stirred.

He suddenly spoke, "Miss Yun, where do you plan to go?"

Their carriage was still parked not far behind.

"First, I’ll settle my father, then I’ll find a way to cure the poison," said Yun Sheng, who called Little Black to her side. Despite being denied the Demon Beast meat it had nearly tasted, Little Black was not angry; it followed Yun Sheng, helping to support Yun Canghai’s body and sharing some of the burden for its young master.

"There is no cure for this poison," Xia Wenxu seemed intent on dissuading Yun Sheng from any hope.

"If it’s impossible now, that doesn’t mean it will be impossible forever. I’ve seen people with similar symptoms wake up before, and besides, there isn’t an ailment in the world that can’t be cured," said Yun Sheng, a doctor who had witnessed countless lives and deaths but had also seen many miracles.

And those miracles required patience and persistence.

Supporting her father and accompanied by Little Black, Yun Sheng walked resolutely forward.

"Junior Fate, why didn’t you tell them the truth about the poison on that person earlier," the two twin mages standing beside Xia Wenxu spoke up. The more talkative one was named Yu Ji, the more reticent one was Yu Mo, but it was the usually taciturn Yu Mo who raised the question.

"You’ve also noticed that it wasn’t poison, but rather the Beast Blood Curse from the Summoning Court," Yun Sheng’s figure was gradually fading into the distance, and Xia Wenxu had an indistinct feeling of melancholy in his heart, "If she knew the truth, I’m afraid she wouldn’t let it go so easily."

That’s why he chose to conceal it.

There is a complex relationship between the Summoning Court and the Magic Temple, and he is not yet able to break the balance between the two.

"That’s just because you’re too kind-hearted, Junior Fate. Her father must be a vicious character; otherwise, he wouldn’t have been afflicted with the Beast Blood Curse by the Summoning Court. Does she really think she can take on the entire Summoning Court by herself?" Yu Ji snorted. Their Si Ming was just too kind-hearted.

The Summoning Court and the Magic Temple have always prided themselves on punishing evil and promoting good; only those who are utterly wicked would be subjected to such a malicious curse as the Beast Blood Curse.

"The ways of the world are difficult to predict, and I can’t see through her destiny," Xia Wenxu said indifferently.

"What? There’s actually a destiny that even you, Si Ming, can’t see through?" Since birth, Xia Wenxu possessed the natural talent of Heavenly Vision and could predict a person’s past and future with just simple physical contact.

But because seeing through a person’s destiny is as good as deciding their life and death, revealing too much of the Heavenly Secret would attract divine punishment. Therefore, Xia Wenxu’s master, the Chief Fate of the Magic Temple, ordered him to use the Light Healing Magic and Heavenly Vision only as a last resort.

But just earlier, when he came into contact with Yun Sheng, he inadvertently used his Heavenly Vision.

What he saw was only a haze.

"A destiny that even Junior Fate can’t see through is indeed very rare," Yu Ji said curiously.

"Not necessarily. Have you forgotten? Aside from his own destiny, there is another person whose destiny Junior Fate also couldn’t see through," Yu Mo thought of someone.

The former Crown Prince of the Great Zhou, who is also someone Si Ming could not see through.

"Speaking of which, I’ve heard some news from the Tingfa Temple. Just a few days ago, the former Crown Prince who had been confined to the Cold Palace was released," Yu Ji, who loved to snoop around for various gossip and was especially knowledgeable about the royal affairs, said eagerly, "What’s even more astonishing is that his eyes have healed."

"What? Are you saying that Ye Beiming, whose eyes even the Chief Fate could not heal, has regained his sight?" Even Yu Mo, who normally did not care for such news, couldn’t help but be curious upon hearing this.

Xia Wenxu was also surprised. Could it be that there exists a level of Healing Technique even more advanced than the Light Magic mastered by the Magic Temple?

The news would surely have stunned his master as well.

"Clean up the remnants of the Wind Maggot Beast, and let’s head back to the Magic Temple quickly," Xia Wenxu instructed the twin mages to gather the scattered limbs of the Wind Maggot Beast properly before leaving.

Not long after Xia Wenxu and the others left, a carriage rumbled along and a small black dog jumped down from it.

The little black dog sniffed around the ground, dug vigorously, and found a small piece of "Wind Maggot Beast" meat buried underneath.

"Little Black, you’re really clever for hiding a piece of meat. I’ll make it into jerky on the way, and you and Bobbie can enjoy it," Yun Sheng patted Little Black’s head.

The Wind Maggot Beast’s body was very long, blown to pieces by Yun Canghai’s magic—here a piece, there a piece. Even with a piece missing, the Magic Temple was none the wiser.

Cunning Little Black took the opportunity while the Magic Temple folks were distracted and secretly buried a piece in the ground.

"Let’s set off. I’ll definitely reach Yujing with father and with the help of the Yun Family. Father will surely wake up," Yun Sheng flicked the whip, and the carriage moved forward.
