Shennong Dao Master
Chapter 1750 - 5: Ma Yi Divine Physiognomy, Marvelous Fate Master
Zhao Xing looked up at Han Chuchen on the ridge.
Han Chuchen looked at Zhao Xing in the pit.
Both recognized each other.
In the Primordial Realm’s Minister of Agriculture, there aren’t many battle-type members of the Self Sect, making it easy to remember those with somewhat notable abilities.
Moreover, Zhao Xing and Han Chuchen could perceive the subtle connection of fate linking them.
This was the cause and effect sensing generated after meeting and being in the same faction.
The line of cause and effect was weak, yet very resilient.
"So it’s Brother Han, what a coincidence."
Zhao Xing sensed an unusual tension in the other’s emotions.
If Han Chuchen’s emotions were calm, that would indeed be strange!
"It’s this guy, it really is him!"
Han Chuchen murmured to himself.
Behind him, a pair of wings woven from white leaves spread out, kicking up a solar storm as he quickly descended to the pit.
"Zhao Xing, why are you here?!"
"What does Mr. Han mean by this?" Zhao Xing pretended to be clueless, sensing Han Chuchen’s excitement. "I came to the Primordial Ocean for a mission. Isn’t it normal to be here?"
"Past entanglements, intertwined fate... Zhao Xing, you and I need to talk." Han Chuchen suggested.
Seeing no way to dodge it, Zhao Xing reluctantly said, "What do you want to ask, Brother Han?"
"Why did it turn out this way?"
"I can’t say. If you know, you know. If you don’t, I can’t tell you." Zhao Xing sighed.
About the affairs of Yuanhai Ancient Country, although he was in the know, he couldn’t speak carelessly.
If Han Chuchen had died unaware at the Yuanhai Ancient Country’s ceremony, he couldn’t disclose anything.
"Can’t say? Why can’t you say, what do you know?" Han Chuchen became anxious.
Zhao Xing frowned at the sight. "There are naturally reasons for not saying. Even if I dare to say, do you dare to listen?"
"Do you want to reincarnate again?"
Han Chuchen was taken aback.
"Why, why did it come to this, the Three Gods Fate Palace is just a small divine power, not a Great Divine Power of ’Reincarnation’... It’s just a minor matter!"
"Zhao Xing, originally we were just doing a business transaction, each taking responsibility for its risk. But so many people have done such things, how come it’s become like this with you?"
"I died, not even knowing why."
Han Chuchen felt a bit resentful.
He wasn’t here to blame Zhao Xing, acknowledging his own misfortune, but why did it require such a heavy price?
"Wait, were you punished by the Reincarnation Temple, is that why you reincarnated? I understand now, you weren’t..." Zhao Xing quickly realized he might have misunderstood something.
Han Chuchen hadn’t attended the Yuanhai Ancient Country’s ceremony back then.
In other words, he was purely punished as a typical case.
Punished by the Reincarnation Temple, forced to reincarnate.
And that was precisely what puzzled Han Chuchen.
How did it come to this?
"You really know something!" Han Chuchen keenly deduced from Zhao Xing’s words that there might be hidden truths behind his reincarnation.
At the very least, Zhao Xing was involved.
"No." Zhao Xing shook his head. "Brother Han interfered with the Reincarnation Temple affairs and was just made an example of, which is why the punishment was so severe."
To explain completely, Zhao Xing would have to start with stealing the Yanshen Stele from the East Extending Ancient Clan, discuss the Yuanhai Ancient Country’s ceremony, his actions, and his connections with Qing Yu Zi.
Only then could Han Chuchen understand why the punishment from the Reincarnation Temple was so severe.
Mainly pulled from Zhao Xing, uncovering that Han Chuchen dared to get involved in something like this.
The Reincarnation Temple, with its three factions, couldn’t deal with Qing Yu Zi but certainly could with Han Chuchen, right?
They were bound to clean up, and he just happened to be caught up in it, making Han Chuchen unfortunate.
Because Han Chuchen hadn’t gone to the Yuanhai Ancient Country to die, he was aware that his reincarnation was forced, due to becoming entangled in Zhao Xing’s commission.
However, he was not at the Emperor level and had no way of knowing the details, nor would the Reincarnation Temple reveal more.
Therefore, Han Chuchen couldn’t figure it out.
He felt the transaction itself was problematic.
Zhao Xing was a mere Origin Realm cultivator who learned the Three Gods Fate Palace, while Zhao Xing was a Reincarnation Realm reincarnator who learned the Three Gods Fate Palace, a fundamental difference.
Initially, Han Chuchen hadn’t connected the dots this way, but when the Guluo River took Zhao Xing as a disciple, he began to suspect Zhao Xing was a reincarnator.
"In this world, there’s a code of conduct, I helped out of goodwill, yet you hid key truths from me. Leading to my punishment and reincarnation... Zhao Xing, did you use Du Yun and me, or did you conspire with Du Yun against me?!"
Zhao Xing: "..."
From Han Chuchen’s perspective, he certainly had reason to be angry.
Giving trouble to an Origin Realm and a reincarnator is vastly different.
The issue was, at the time, he genuinely hadn’t intended to cause trouble.
As for using Du Yun and Han Chuchen, that was even more baseless.
Zhao Xing also didn’t consider himself a reincarnator; who had ever seen re-incarnation into the past?
Moreover, he lacked memories related to reincarnation Divine Weapons and cultivation techniques.
Thus, facing Han Chuchen’s questioning, Zhao Xing really found himself speechless.
Unable to clarify, he decided not to explain.
"Brother Han, this is indeed a misunderstanding."
"I share a life-and-death bond with Du Yun, and since you were hired by him... Well, I suppose you won’t believe this."
"Since it’s like this, draw your line."
"Whether it’s gratitude or resentment, I’ll face it, Du Yun is blameless."
After speaking, Zhao Xing quietly watched Han Chuchen.
The latter fell into a brief silence.
At this moment, when Han Chuchen looked at Zhao Xing, it was reminiscent of how Zhao Xing looked at Wu Tian.
