Chapter 483: Pointing out Fate?

~8 min read 1,501 words

The demon cultivator old man continued to ask Liu Er about Unlike Ning Zhuo, and finally, he understood the reason.

"Unlike Ning Zhuo is only temporarily attached to Little Six because of a family grudge."

"He himself has the goal of traveling, so he will leave after this great battle."

"Even, as long as the war is unfavorable and he sees no hope of revenge, he will leave halfway."

"As for his and the Ning family's funding of Little Six, on one hand, Unlike Ning Zhuo himself has a good relationship with Little Six; on the other hand, it is a family grudge; and finally, it is to plot the profits of the spoils."

"After all, in many cases, war wealth is the most profitable."

Thinking of this, the demon cultivator old man no longer paid attention to Unlike Ning Zhuo.

Liu Er, seeing his own teacher act like this, also knew that the demon cultivator old man was good at divination, so his heart moved, and he probed: "Teacher, is this Unlike Ning Zhuo not destined to be in my life?"

The demon cultivator old man said sternly: "Little Six, you need to dispel such thoughts immediately!"

"Although you possess a Royal Order, you must understand that things in the Royal Order are not absolutely going to happen."

"The Royal Order is just a huge trend, and it can also be changed."

"Therefore, even if Unlike Ning Zhuo is not destined to be in your life, you can change this through your own efforts, making the undestined destined, and letting him become your subordinate."

"If Unlike Ning Zhuo is destined to be in your life, but you give up the opportunity time and time again, leading to the loss of talent, that is your fault. If you cannot grasp the opportunity in your life, it is also in vain."

"Do you understand?"

The demon cultivator old man's voice changed to a scolding tone at the end.

Liu Er bowed repeatedly, thanking his teacher for the scolding, and said he would definitely keep his teacher's words in mind in the future.

"Hmm." The demon cultivator old man nodded, his expression softening.

It was precisely because the Royal Order could be changed that the demon cultivator old man came in person to protect this key node.

In Liu Er's early development, Mu Lan was especially important to him, being the most critical stepping stone, allowing Liu Er to enter the officialdom of the two-note kingdom with a positive stance.

Otherwise, relying solely on his half-demon identity to fight, he would definitely not be accepted by the mainstream high-level, and even if he had talent, he would be buried for many years.

The demon cultivator old man changed the subject: "Regarding the ownership of the spoils, Little Six, how are you considering it?"

Liu Er looked solemn, bowing and cupping his hands: "In the disciple's view, there are two major drawbacks."

"First, it may damage our reputation for integrity. Such a reputation needs to be cherished; mixing in the righteous path requires it very much. My identity is awkward, and without the many beautiful names of the righteous path, it is almost difficult to move an inch."

"Second, our military funds are mostly funded by Unlike Ning Zhuo, and in the future, they will likely all be funded by him. Taking back the ownership of the spoils is equivalent to eating the Ning family's rations. If this continues for a long time, is the Three Generals Camp ours, or the Ning family's?"

Liu Er observed his expression and saw the demon cultivator old man stroking his beard and nodding, looking satisfied, so he became bolder and continued: "The disciple wanted to ask about the fate of the Royal Order and Unlike Ning Zhuo."

"Actually, it was also for this matter."

"If Unlike Ning Zhuo has no fate with me, I can be bolder in accepting the Ning family's funding at this time."

"After all, the Ning family is in the Southern Bean Kingdom, not in the two-note kingdom."

The demon cultivator old man saw Liu Er still wanted to speak and decisively reached out: "Alright, just handle it like this."

"I called you here this time for another matter, which is a thousand times more important than any Unlike Ning Zhuo or spoils!"

"Little Six, since you want to pursue Mu Lan, be decisive, bold, active, and grand."

"Mu Lan is a tiger daughter of a military family, most appreciative of heroes on the battlefield. If you are sneaky and secretive, even if you eventually defeat Shuang Jing and Sun Gan, you will not make Mu Lan fall for you."

Liu Er said "Ah": "This... Teacher, the disciple naturally has the spirit of a hero, and I also want to stretch out."

"It's just that the enemy is too strong, and my Three Generals Camp has just been created, and the small family business is very likely to be tossed away." The demon cultivator old man reached out again, stopping Liu Er's explanation.

"You go."

The old man waved his hand toward the direction of the Three Generals Camp.

Liu Er was surprised but quickly realized, saying when he took his leave: "Teacher, I understand what you mean."

"After going back, I will make a big splash and pursue that Mu Lan openly."

Liu Er looked up again and found that the demon cultivator old man had already disappeared.

"Teacher is still so mysterious." Liu Er sighed and turned back to the military camp.

The demon cultivator old man did not leave and stayed in place.

It was just that the old man's illusion technique was unique, deceiving Liu Er.

The demon cultivator old man's face was pale, blood spraying from his seven orifices, and a large amount of essence and lifespan flowed with the blood, consuming rapidly.

This work was organized and uploaded by ~~

The old man endured bitterly.

The severe pain in both body and mind made him feel like life was worse than death, and every day felt like a year.

Finally, the pain gradually subsided, and the old man's seven orifices no longer bled.

This was the drawback of divination.

Everything has two sides, pros and cons; this is the balance of nature.

Divination can often calculate the future trend, which is the huge benefit of this cultivation art. But its drawbacks are far more numerous and severe than other cultivation techniques.

The demon cultivator old man's encounter just now was because he relied on the results of divination to guide key figures, causing the fortune to fluctuate violently, making the old man bear this fluctuation and suffer a strong backlash.

Even so, this was not a key reminder!

A key reminder is also known as "pointing out fate," which is very difficult and requires the diviner to have a strong spirit of dedication and sacrifice. Because it is very likely that leaking the secrets of heaven will lead to backlash and death.

The demon cultivator old man's reminder just now was not a key reminder, not pointing out fate.

If it were before, when Liu Er hadn't found out key information like Mu Lan's dual cultivation and had the idea of seeking Mu Lan, and the demon cultivator old man had given a clear reminder, that would have been pointing out fate.

Liu Er received very valuable advice from his teacher, and after returning, his actions were quite decisive.

He summoned Guan Hong, Zhang Hei, and Unlike Ning Zhuo, and announced in public that he would take back the ownership of the spoils, but only for a part of the people.

"Since this part of the people doesn't want this right, we will increase their rations to win them over."

"The other part of the people still wants to keep the right to own the spoils, so we will continue to leave it to them."

"Counting these two parts of people is a cumbersome task with many missions, and it depends on the military advisor."

Unlike Ning Zhuo immediately expressed that this was what he should do. And he praised Liu Er's arrangement as mature and statesmanlike, very steady, and much better and more comprehensive than his own proposal.

Then, Liu Er announced that he would pursue Mu Lan openly.

As expected, this decision caused the other three to oppose it at the same time.

But Liu Er showed a man's fearless spirit, and his will to not fear difficulties made Guan Hong and Zhang Hei's blood boil, and they expressed their firm intention to follow.

Unlike Ning Zhuo, seeing this, couldn't help but guess what Liu Er's trump card was? To make him so confident!

But since the three generals had all agreed, Unlike Ning Zhuo, in addition to curiosity, also decisively expressed obedience.

"In this way, the situation of the Three Generals Camp will take a turn for the worse, even more difficult than the Red Flower Camp."
