It seemed that ever since she met him, she became more vulnerable. In her past life, after being imprisoned for a year, she learned how to tolerate pain and how not to let her tears fall. However, now, all of that effort seemed to be in vain. With Li Lei by her side, she became a girl who cried easily over the smallest matter.

Li Lei, you’re a big jerk! Big jerk! Big jerk!

As she cried, she fiercely cursed.

After some time, the door of the tea room opened.

Xia Moyan, dressed in white, appeared in front of her. He noticed her red eyes but was not surprised. He only said quietly, “You can come in now.”

She dejectedly walked in.

Xia Moyan returned the amulet to her.

Xia Ling looked at the amulet with a puzzled expression and felt that it was no different from before. The dark red paulownia wood was still unadorned and did not look eye-catching at all. Wait… Something’s not right. Her fingers felt as if they touched something. As she turned the amulet over and realized that there were two rows of symbols, she did not know whether it was a bone inscription or some sort of special language. The writing style was like a flowing stream, and there was a strange and mysterious beauty about it.

“What is this?” She asked.

“You and Li Lei’s birth charts.” Xia Moyan said. “At the temple, the amulet I gave him was not the full version as I did not engrave the birth charts. As your birth chart is too special and is not Ye Xingling’s exact birth chart, I was worried that Li Lei would be suspicious after checking it.”

“Since you wrote… drew it like that, I’m sure he won’t notice.” Xia Ling tried her best to read the strange drawing to no avail.

“It’s just one type of ancient Chinese writing.” Xia Moyan smiled for the third time. “He really cares about you, so he would definitely not let you wear something he doesn’t understand. Even if he can’t recognize these words, he will be able to find out if he does a search. When that time comes, your reincarnation secret may be exposed.”

“He doesn’t know that I was reincarnated? You only told him that I was destined to be alone?”

Xia Moyan nodded.

Xia Ling flipped the amulet around a few more times. “With the inclusion of birth charts, he won’t share my burden of disasters anymore?”

Xia Moyan said, “With the birth charts, your fates will be tied together even tighter. Originally, this amulet could only be used three times before the effect wears off, but now it can be used forever.” He remembered that after taking this amulet, she had already run into disasters twice. With the distant trip to a snowy mountain approaching, he had to quickly complete the amulet before her third accident.

Xia Ling widened her eyes. “You lied to me?”

“When did I lie to you?”

“You said that you would help me get rid of the connection between my fate and Li Lei’s so that he would no longer have to share my burden! Xia Moyan, now you are telling me that our fates are even more closely linked and the original three times have become unlimited. What do you mean?!”

Seeing her infuriated expression, Xia Moyan remained calm. “I never promised you anything. I only told you to leave the tea room for a while.”

Xia Ling was startled. After thinking about it closely, she realized that he was right.

She begged him to undo the binding of their fates and he asked her to wait outside… That was why she mistakenly thought that he had agreed to do so.

“You deliberately misled me!”

“My schedule is very tight.” Xia Moyan put on his white gloves again and took his white coat from the clothes rack. “If I didn’t do that, I would probably have to spend a lot more time persuading you to give me the amulet. Xiao Ling, I won’t hurt you. Actually, the binding of fates is irreversible. As long as he contributed a drop of his blood, even if the amulet loses its efficacy, it will only be unable to help you get over the disaster. If you encounter an accident and die, he won’t be able to survive as well.”

Xia Ling’s hands froze.

Xia Moyan opened the door and walked out. Before he turned around to leave, he said, “Oh yes, I haven’t congratulated you yet. Perhaps you found your paulownia wood. I wish you two eternal love.”

The door was closed.

As she sank into the tatami cushion in the tea room, she held the blood-stained amulet in her hands and slightly shivered.

Her cell phone rang non-stop.

However, she was not in the mood to check it.

The door was pushed open again. A man who was panting in the snow appeared in front of her. “Xiao Ling, what happened to you? Why did you hide here alone without a word? Do you know how many times I’ve called you?” It was Li Lei. After seeing that she was safe and sound, he breathed a sigh of relief, but then his sight fell on the amulet in her hands.

“What happened to the amulet?” His voice suddenly became tense, and he knelt by her side.

On the wood of the amulet, there seemed to be additional markings and symbols like a curse, making him very worried. Xia Ling was startled and wanted to draw her hand back, but it was too late.

Li Lei grabbed her hand and looked at the amulet. “What’s written here?”

“Li Lei, how dare you ask!” She suddenly yelled as tears uncontrollably flowed down her face. “I saw Xia Moyan! He told me everything! He said that you kowtowed as you made your way up from the foot of the mountain and used half of the blood in your body to make the amulet! Li Lei, are you stupid? I should be bearing my own disastrous fate! Why did you intrude?!”

Her entire body was shaking, her chest was heaving, and she had a look of sadness and anger on her face.

Startled, Li Lei asked, “Xia Moyan? Who’s Xia Moyan?” He had never heard of this name before. Suddenly, after looking at the amulet in her hands, he realized who she was referring to. “Are you talking about Preceptor Xia? Have you seen Preceptor Xia?” If it were really that powerful man who was like a floating cloud… Why did he tell Xiao Ling his full name? The Li family and even the high ranking abbot only knew that his surname was Xia. No one knew what his real name was. Why did he specifically tell Xiao Ling?

Xia Ling was still screaming at him. “If Preceptor Xia didn’t tell me the truth, were you planning on hiding this fact from me forever?!”

After knowing that it was The Preceptor, Li Lei’s initial suspicions were reduced by half. He comforted her gently. “Alright, it’s not that much of a big deal. Just take it as a normal amulet and wear it. Who knows if the disaster thing is real anyway.”

“If it isn’t real, then why did you contribute your blood!” Xia Ling cried again as she knew that he had no doubt about the truth but still wanted to comfort her with his words. She hit Li Lei’s chest with her fist. “You jerk!”

“Ok, ok. I’m a jerk.” Li Lei hated it when girls cried, especially his beloved girl who was weeping sorrowfully. He hugged her and softly coaxed her for a long time. He swore that he would never do something like that again, and it took a while before she finally stopped crying and leaned into his arms.

“Let me see that amulet.” Li Lei gently kissed her forehead. “What changes did Preceptor Xia make?”
