Chapter 463: No Fate or Bad Fate?

[Xiaoxu, what do you want to do?] Zhen Yuan asked, looking at Shen Xu with serious eyes.

Hearing the question, the double didn’t immediately answer.

Instead, he fell into thought and thirty breaths later, he shook his head.

[I haven’t changed my mind.] He said and quickly continued.

[I still feel that I have no fate with my maternal family including my mother and Bai Guo.] He said and Zhen Yuan subconsciously frowned.

[Do you really feel that you have no fate or is it that the fate is not good?] He asked and Shen Xu couldn’t help but be surprised.

Zhen Yuan was right!

His feelings for the Bai family were similar to those for Xiao Weimin.

Rather than having no fate, it was more accurate to say that their relationship was destined to not be good.

’So that’s how it is.’ Shen Xu thought and sighed.

[I understand what you mean.] He said and sighed before continuing.

[I avoid the relationship because I instinctively know that it’s going to end badly. However, some things are fated and can’t be avoided no matter how much we try.] He said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

After all, Jingyu had practically erased their existence but as soon as they met again, Xiao Weimin and Bai Guo immediately noticed Shen Xu.

Realising this, Zhen Yuan could only accept that their entanglement with Xiao Weimin’s group and the Bai family had only just begun and would likely not end any time soon.

[I will play along since I can’t avoid it.] Shen Xu said and Zhen Yuan nodded.

[I will be with you no matter what happens.] He said but his heart was uncomfortable.

Zhen Yuan didn’t doubt that he and Shen Xu could handle whatever they encountered. However, he felt uncomfortable with how Xiao Weimin was staring at Shen Xu.

’I want to gouge his eyes out.’ He thought and a trace of murderous intent flashed in his eyes.

Time passed and before they knew it, it was Zhu Huang’s turn to draw a lot.

[System, can you help?] He asked.

[I can help you get a good lot but it won’t be the best.] The system said and Zhu Huang subconsciously frowned.

However, he was used to this.

After all, Xiao Weimin was the child of luck and his destined treasures couldn’t be stolen easily.

Thinking this, Zhu Huang sighed and nodded.

[I understand.] He said and dipped his hand into the sack.

A moment later, he took out a wooden square and revealed it to the leaders.

“Plot fifty-four.” Xu Xue announced and the Hanging Garden sect’s group leader couldn’t help but be excited.

’Not bad.’ He thought.

Comparing the one thousand plots, plot fifty-four could be ranked among the top ten.

Seeing that his sect’s disciple had secured such a good plot, the leader nodded in satisfaction and signalled.

“Draw another lot.” He said and Zhu Huang understood.

Like the other major sects, the Hanging Garden sect had one hundred and fifty quotas.

Since fifteen of those quotas were protected and couldn’t be challenged, the sect had decided to let the guardians of those plots draw an extra lot.

As a result, the Hanging Garden sect’s group had two hundred participants, but only one hundred and thirty-five were actually needed.

After receiving the instruction, Zhu Huang drew another lot and showed it to the leaders.

“Plot two hundred and seventy.” Xu Xue announced and the Hanging Garden sect’s leader smiled.

’Another good plot.’ He thought but didn’t give another signal.

Seeing this, Zhu Huang stepped aside and let another cultivator take the stage.

[Ayuan, how are plot fifty-four, and plot two hundred and seventy?] Shen Xu asked.

[Plot fifty-four is among the top ten and plot two-hundred and seventy is among the top fifty.] Zhen Yuan said and the double nodded.

[As expected of someone who has a system. His luck is not bad.] He said.

[Your luck is better.] Zhen Yuan insisted and Shen Xu curled his lips with a teasing expression.

[I used eight lifetimes of luck to meet you. What remains is just a little bit.] He said and Zhen Yuan chuckled.

After Zhu Huang was his two lovers: Ouyang Feng, and Song Wandong.

Compared to others, the two drew relatively good plots but compared to Zhu Huang, their plots were unremarkable.

However, this was expected and no one dwelled on it.

[Xiao Weimin is up next.] Zhen Yuan said and tilted his head with a thoughtful expression.

[Xiaoxu, let’s make a bet.] He said and the double raised an eyebrow.

[What bet?] He asked.

[Let’s bet on Xiao Weimin’s plots.] Zhen Yuan said but Shen Xu rolled his eyes.

[Ayuan, are you trying to take advantage me?] He asked and quickly continued.

[You can see laws and can naturally deduce which plot Xiao Weimin will get.] The double said and Zhen Yuan smiled.

[Let’s change the bet then.] The man said and continued.

[How to change it?] Shen Xu asked and Zhen Yuan smiled before answering.

[I will reward you if you guess correctly.] He said but Shen Xu was not convinced.

[Everything you own is already mine. How will you reward me?] He asked and Zhen Yun chuckled.

[Haven’t you been refining all kinds of weird costumes? I will wear them for you the next time we retreat.] He said and Shen Xu was immediately tempted.

Some time back, Shen Xu impulsively refined a formal suit and asked Zhen Yuan to model it for him.

Seeing the novelty of the suit, Zhen Yuan agreed but this opened a door to unknown world.

After the suit were all manner of clothes and eventually, Shen Xu gravitated towards cosplay. However, some of the costumes were too outrageous and Zhen Yuan couldn’t be convinced to wear them.

[This is what you said.] Shen Xu said and narrowed his eyes.

[I won’t break my promise.] Zhen Yuan assured and the double nodded with a thoughtful expression.

A moment later, he turned to Zhen Yuan and began speaking.

[I want three chances.] He said.
