Against Heaven's Will

Chapter 93 Your Choice



Liu Xinyu wasn't even mad at the threat, smiling instead. Knowing the Fate Spirit's powers and knowledge, she was probably the one who passed a Forbidden Art to Xuefeng. The mature lady would for sure find a way to kill her if she wanted to.

"Don't worry, I don't have any bad intentions," Liu Xinyu assured, acting full of calmness compared to the panicking Mia. "I initially wanted to talk to him after the tournament to see if he is worth being my Junior Brother but I got bored so I thought of checking him out earlier."

Liu Xinyu gave the mature lady a look over and added, "Can I know your name? With such a powerful Fate Spirit like you, Xuefeng points went up for sure."

"I'm Ming, but don't try to research about me. Even your father won't know about my existence," Ming said. "Xuefeng is my first and last Fate Holder."

Liu Xinyu opened her mouth in surprise, not expecting to receive such a clue. What did that mean? It meant her abilities were not known by anyone in the world. What's more, she came from the Fate Kingdom and probably had a high role as well!

All Fate Spirits residing in the Lower Realms were either connected to a Fate Holder or simply belonged to the Fate Management that controlled all worlds. If Ming was the latter, the complications would be enormous! Even the ever calm Liu Xinyu was shaken by the news.

'If only my father knew about this…' Liu Xinyu muttered, already thinking of notifying him as soon as possible but she quickly changed her mind. She had to tell him in person and in the best-case scenario, introduce Ming to him directly.

In both cases, she couldn't let Xuefeng go!

"That wasn't my intention, Lady Ming. I just wanted to befriend you," Liu Xinyu muttered as she bowed slightly in greeting. "I'm Liu Xinyu and this is my assistant Mia. Nice to meet you."

"I know who you are and I knew someone will eventually appear to check on us," Ming replied casually. "I'm pleasantly surprised it turned out to be someone important like Sect Master Liu's daughter instead of some Elder. It will make the negotiations much easier."

"Negotiations?" Liu Xinyu repeated.

"Well, not really. I can just tell you what will happen in the nearby future and you will decide who you want to side with," Ming corrected and didn't beat around the bush anymore. "The Water Land Capital will turn chaotic in the next few days. Tens of experts will arrive around the time of the tournament with the goal of hunting Xuefeng down."

Liu Xinyu frowned deeply, not expecting such a sudden development. She was even more shocked after Ming's next words.

"Your father should be involved as well. I'm sure he is already coming to the Water Land Capital as we speak."

"But why?" Liu Xinyu questioned, trying to understand. "Also father is currently in the closed-door cultivation, preparing for his breakthrough. Why would he go out of his way to hunt down Xuefeng?"

"Ask him then," Ming suggested with a gentle smile.

"He won't pick up," Liu Xinyu muttered but still pulled out a Communication Crystal from her Storage Ring. Her eyes widened when the crystal actually connected.

"Dad? Are you—" She wanted to question but her father's voice cut her off. "I was about to call you. I'm coming to meet you in the Water Capital. Don't do anything involving this Liu Xuefeng. It is best if you don't meet him at all. I will explain everything when we meet."

His dad's tone confirmed Ming's words perfectly. What's more, she couldn't even reply when the connection got cut and the Communication Crystal dimmed.

"I told you. It is the third day since we arrived in the Heaven Realm. I already suspected they will hunt us down within the first five days," Ming said with a shrug. "Your father is not the only one coming after us. More will come from various Realms. Experts all over the Worlds and Hidden Realms who desire power and longevity will arrive to compete against each other."

"But why? Even my father seems to be interested…" Liu Xinyu still didn't understand, gazing at the golden barrier behind Ming. "What does Xuefeng have that they want?"

"Well, it won't be a harm to tell you now as it will be public any time soon anyway. If we can't hide it, might as well tell everyone and force people to fight each other," Ming exposed her plan. "Xuefeng has a Godly Treasure that allows you to control all elements, called Elemental Bracelet. Did you hear about it?"

"…"

As long as Liu Xinyu lived in this world, she has never been more speechless. Did she know it? Of course, she did! Who didn't?! It was one of the ten most powerful Godly Treasures!

Mia wasn't any different, already shivering on the side.

"Seeing your expression, I'm sure you heard about it already," Ming commented with a smile. "You probably wonder why am I telling you this."

"I do… Aren't you worried I will try to claim it for myself and scheme against you?" Liu Xinyu asked quietly, not believing she was this trustworthy.

"You know about Fate Spirits but you still don't have one. It means you don't wish to depend on foreign powers. You won't desire the Elemental Bracelet, especially after knowing its drawbacks and how it will cause everyone to hunt you down," Ming explained to which Liu Xinyu nodded.

"You are right. Only a mad man would want it but my father is not one of them. He was the one who told me how stupid anyone is who desires the Elemental Bracelet," Liu Xinyu informed. "It was his old Master that wanted it."

"Your Father was probably sent by his Master to collect the Bracelet then. I wouldn't be surprised if that was the case. Isn't he proclaimed the strongest expert in Heaven Realm?" Ming pointed out.

"Xuefeng never really wanted the Bracelet either and he got it by accident. As you know, you can't take it off unless you die, so he has no other choice but to fight. We knew he will be hunted by experts desiring the Bracelet so it was never a question if he can or cannot improve enough to face them. He needs someone to support him till he is strong enough and I chose House of Dragons."

Gazing at her deeply, Ming asked directly.

"Are you with us or against us? Your choice."
