Chapter 171: Chapter 31 Heaven’s Will, My WillTea House. During An Jing’s action. "This is..." Enchanted by the splendid Liuguang, Granny Huai raised her hand in shock to cover the jade stone on the girl’s chest. The old lady lowered her voice and said, "Is this why you are being pursued? Foolish!" "Although I don’t know what abilities you possess, I helped you not for any reward... Quickly cover it up, and don’t activate it; it would be bad if it were exposed!" "But... Granny, it can change your fate!" The golden-eyed girl looked somewhat bewildered: "I’ve seen that you are... you are bound by your Fate Pattern to this place, like a locust tree rooted here, so much so that you cannot even leave. You’re practically an Earthbound Spirit!" "Those people will definitely come to snatch the Earth Pulse Node, and your soul is merged with the land—if I’m not here to help, and you are forced to leave, you will die!" At this point, the girl’s tone carried a hint of self-reproach and reluctance: "I don’t want you to die because of helping me!" "When the time comes, I’ll choose another Yin place for you. You could live a few more years and enjoy a peaceful retirement..." "What joy is there in living, what pain is there in death?" Granny Huai was not moved in the slightest: "Helping people has been the path I chose. If I am to die because of my choices, then so be it." She calmly gazed at the girl in front of her: "I still have some connections in the city. In a few days, once preparations are complete, I will be able to get you out of the city... Before then, you need to hide well and not do anything that could expose you." "But if it’s like this, you really will die..." The girl still felt a bit unwilling, but when she was embraced by the old lady, she who had been on the run for so long began to choke up: "Why do you help me like this? You don’t even know my name, yet you’re willing to risk your life..." "Because ’I want’ to help others, I want to help you." Granny Huai tenderly stroked the girl’s long hair, reciting with a near-devotional tone: "How great is Imperial Heaven to create this body, ignorant are the common folk to not recognize the grace." "Life and death, great difficulties, the beginning of Life Tribulation, my will and my heart are born from Heaven." "Being human in this life is not easy, there is no need to blindly follow others, no need to alter oneself for things, just ’I am me, I’d rather be myself.’ "My life, my death, both are of my will." "My fate, my heart, both are Heaven’s Will." "Heaven’s Will?" At first, not quite understanding, the girl whose eyes had been half-closed from being petted by the old lady suddenly opened her eyes wide, looking at Granny Huai with incredulity: "In accordance with my heart, is Heaven’s Will..." This is, this is the Heaven’s Will Demon... But, but... could someone like Granny Huai really be a member of the Demon Sect?! No, that’s not right... Granny Huai must have been deceived... But even if that were the case, it doesn’t matter anymore... Pushing the sudden thoughts that arose back into her heart, the girl curled up in the elder’s arms, feeling fatigue wash over her. And after she had drowsily slept for a while. Outside the tea house. A knock on the door sounded. "Granny Huai?" An Jing’s voice came from outside the door: "There are some important matters I wish to discuss." "I think it is time for a frank discussion." "Please, come in." After a while, when An Jing heard the voice of permission, he entered the teahouse and the first thing he felt was a burst of coolness. It wasn’t the kind of ice-cold pain, but a comfortable coolness, like a breeze in the summer that swept away all the scorching heat. An Jing looked around with some curiosity, feeling that the circulation of Qi within his body became much more active because of it. "Eh." In the Divine Sea, Subdue Evil also remarked curiously, "The Earth Vein Yin Channel here has been fully activated—if one would say that this place was only slightly Divine Abnormality before, now, cultivating here, especially cultivating Divine Skills like Visualization and Divine Sense, will receive a huge bonus!" The Earth Vein Yin Channel contains not only Yin Ming Qi, but also Nurturing Qi and Soul Qi, which are more effective for nourishment than the Yang Pulse. Although he didn’t know why, An Jing quickly suppressed his curiosity. The teahouse’s environment was dim but the tables and chairs were arranged very neatly, the rich aroma of tea assaulted the senses, and Granny Huai was sitting behind the counter, seemingly about to stand up. —That’s not right. An Jing, with his keen senses, realized that Granny wasn’t about to stand up, but had just been preparing to sit down. Furthermore, the door leading to the backroom was still slightly swinging... Was there someone else just now? And they were inside the tea house? Did Granny Huai not wish to expose them? —How intriguing. It seems there are more secrets behind all this. Even though he said he would be open and honest, An Jing didn’t actually plan to make her talk about the things they didn’t want to discuss with him. An Jing’s thoughts spun quickly, and he acted as if he had noticed nothing, "My apologies, Granny, but I am from Dust Li and not familiar with the customs of Da Chen, so my words might be a bit direct. Please excuse me." "May I ask if Granny needs a martial artist as a guard? Although I am not much to speak of, I do have some martial skills up my sleeve. I may not be capable enough to be an Inner Strength martial master, but I can assure you that against ordinary martial artists with Inner Breath, I am quite confident I can fend off enemies and ensure victory!" He spoke rather confidently because, in the eyes of others, ’Jing Xuan’ was merely Inner Breath like Silk or at best Inner Breath as Vast as River, but An Jing believed that with Granny Huai’s discerning eyes that saw through his real identity and Fate Pattern, she would also have an idea of his true strength. Only with this understanding could they have an open conversation. "As for your strength, I naturally have faith in it," the old lady in the shadows replied with bright eyes, noticing An Jing’s luggage and subconsciously feeling remorse for a moment, sighing, "But please tell me the truth... did you get into trouble because of my help?" "To say trouble, indeed there was something, and I never shy from the truth," An Jing said with a smile, "But to say it was all because of you, Granny, would simply be exaggerating. If I had to say, I should actually thank you, Granny. Otherwise, it would have been quite difficult to notice those people spying on me." "In other words, they had been planning to move against me regardless, it just so happened to coincide with your place." "That’s why I wanted to come here to inquire about the situation, to figure out who exactly those people are and what their intentions might be. Only after clarifying these causes and effects can I plan my counterattack." "...Alright." After pondering for a while, Granny Huai made up her mind, "In that case, we indeed need to have a good discussion." The situation with Granny Huai was actually quite simple. She was once the daughter of a caravan leader in the northwest. As a child, the caravan suffered a Ferocious Beast attack that left her family and friends dead, and only she survived with the help of a kind stranger. Ever since then, she had been living at this ’Earth Pulse Node of the Yin Channel,’ and it had been decades since. "My Fate Pattern is unique, with deficits in life and body, and I can only be nurtured by the Earth Pulse," Granny Huai explained: "In return, my Fate Pattern can also nurture and stabilize the Earth Pulse. According to the noble person from that time, it’s a win-win situation." "Because of this, the guardians and officials of Kanming City over the generations have allowed me to run a small teahouse here."
