"The divination suggests that the person you seek seems to be as far away as the horizon, yet as close as right before your eyes. In the near future, you are destined to reunite."
"However, this encounter may bring about a storm of blood and chaos. To fulfill your wish, it won't be easy, yet it's not unachievable either. You will be the key to unravel this predicament."
"To aid you, I've specially prepared a Brocade Bag for you. In moments of extreme peril, opening it might save your life and help you achieve your desire."
Saying this, Lin Beichen took out a Brocade Bag from his person and handed it to Qing Wudi. The bag contained items he had long prepared for Qing Wudi and Flame.
He had been pondering on how to hand over these items to them, and now, they came right to him, saving him the effort of searching for them.
Taking this opportunity to give them the items would also enhance trust between them, making it easier to convert them into followers in the future.
After all, their Faith Value was as high as twenty thousand! Such generous Faith Value, he absolutely couldn't miss it!
Upon hearing Lin Beichen's words, Qing Wudi's expression instantly became serious. Lin Beichen's divination had, in fact, come true! What he was thinking was exactly about the reunion with Sun Shinen and the mantis. The divination showed that news of the mantis would soon arrive.
But to catch the mantis personally, a storm of blood and chaos was inevitable. This was expected, as the mantis was not an easy opponent.
Yet, the final sentence "You are the person to break the impasse," left Qing Wudi somewhat puzzled. Nonetheless, he silently accepted the Brocade Bag, lost in thought.
Flame, on the other hand, listening to Lin Beichen's words, had a flash of wariness in his eyes. He felt Lin Beichen's statements were reminiscent of those charlatans on the streets.
It seemed Lin Beichen was truly just a fraud... Flame thought, preparing to rise and leave, but met Lin Beichen's smiling gaze.
Their gazes crossed in the air for a moment, making Flame uneasy. He frowned and asked, "Why are you looking at me?"
Lin Beichen calmly extended his hand, signaling Flames to look at his palm: "Why don't you mark a character in the palm of my hand, Flame."
Though Flame doubted Lin Beichen's words, he couldn't suppress his curiosity in the end. What if Lin Beichen was telling the truth? Moreover, even if it provided some psychological comfort, that would be good.
So he wrote the character "Encounter" in Lin Beichen's palm. After Lin Beichen withdrew his hand, he began divination. Five minutes later, with furrowed brows and a grave expression, he said, "This divination..."
Flame asked, unable to contain himself, "What's the matter?"
"The divination shows that the person you are concerned about is not in a good situation, always striving for peace. But you'll soon meet." Lin Beichen muttered, "However, this meeting is likely to be accompanied by a disaster. If not handled properly, this meeting might be your last encounter."
"Flame, are you willing to break this predicament? If you have the will to break it, then this issue might be resolved. But if you don't want to break it, then it's a deadlock without resolution."
Hearing this, Flame's expression instantly turned serious. He widened his eyes, leaning forward slightly: "What you said... is it true?" he still couldn't fully believe Lin Beichen's words.
If not handled properly, it could indeed be a deadlock! Could it be that if he didn't believe Lin Beichen, the meeting with his father would be their last encounter?
This was practically cursing his father! Just as Flame was about to get angry, Lin Beichen, smiling, said, "If Flame doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do. However, I do have a method to break the predicament. Would you like to hear it?"
Lin Beichen's move of using the bait and switch was very clever. He knew that if he directly told Flame that their father-son meeting might be the last, Flame, with his fiery temperament, would certainly confront him.
Although he wasn't afraid of Flame, he couldn't let such a substantial Faith Value slip away, so he used this method to stabilize Flame's emotions.
As expected, hearing this, Flame's anger somewhat subsided: "Let's hear what you have to say first," he said in a lower voice.
Without saying more, Lin Beichen took out another Brocade Bag and handed it to Flame: "When the two of you act together after meeting, open this Brocade Bag and use what's inside."
"Remember, you must open this Brocade Bag and use the contents when acting together to resolve the disaster. Otherwise, the impasse cannot be broken, and even with heaven-reaching cultivation, it will be useless."
Lin Beichen's words, though cryptic, gave a sense of authenticity. Flame, though puzzled, still accepted the Brocade Bag.
He was about to open it, but seeing Lin Beichen's serious gaze, he obediently put it away. Lin Beichen nodded with satisfaction, knowing he had successfully planted the seed, now just waiting to reap the harvest.
At this moment, Qing Wudi, who was immersed in thought, suddenly seemed to realize something. He asked very seriously, "Lin Beichen, are you telling the truth? If..."
But before he could finish, Lin Beichen had already stood up, hands behind his back, facing away from them, saying, "Believe it or not, the choice is up to you two coaches. I've already told you the divination, and now it's up to your own decision."
