"You're certainly generous."
Watching the two from behind, Yueyu spoke with a sense of helplessness.
"If Yao Guang finds out you just handed over the chance to recruit him to an outsider, you're not going to have an easy time when you get back."
Every Xianzhou ship wanted Leon to stay on theirs.
With his status as the Reignbow Arbiter's personal disciple, he was basically a magnet, you know?
It was like a fan who had successfully met their idol.
Even if Leon did nothing, just the thought of the Reignbow Arbiter's mortal proxy being on their ship...
...was enough to make any Xianzhou swell with pride.
The IPC next door would cry with envy!
"What are you talking about, what are you talking about!"
Jingtian waved it off, telling her not to get ahead of herself.
He was extremely loyal to the Yuque!
"That's my apprentice, the young lady of the Fu family from the Yuque. How can you call her an outsider!"
Jingtian defended himself.
"You can try to fool me, but don't fool yourself."
Yueyu was slightly speechless. "You don't really think your apprentice will take over your position after you've reconciled, do you?"
"Just because he can break fate doesn't mean we can."
Leon has enough DPS to brute-force his way through; that doesn't mean they do.
Breaking it once doesn't mean it's broken forever.
Who can guarantee smooth sailing from now on?
If this situation happens again, and Leon isn't here, they can only pin their hopes on the Reignbow Arbiter taking action.
Who's to say who will live or die then?
You can't expect the Reignbow Arbiter to bestow an Emanator to help out every single time, right? That's ridiculous!
"At least there's hope now, isn't there?"
Hearing this, Jingtian simply smiled it off.
"As long as I can live safely until retirement, she'll have no reason to refuse my position, will she?"
"Besides, so what if young friend Leon really does go back to the Luofu with her later?"
"It's good for them to spend more time together. Feelings can develop quickly between young people. I'm sure General Yao Guang won't have any objections."
Jingtian said with a smile, "If all goes well, he'll take the position of General on the Luofu in the future, and she'll take the position of Master Diviner on the Yuque."
"A talented man and a beautiful woman. Isn't that perfect?"
"I think the Yuque and the Luofu could very well become one family."
Jingtian felt that Yao Guang wouldn't be able to find any fault with his logic.
After all, from another perspective, he was indeed trying to win Leon over for the Yuque.
"You're so quick to sell out your apprentice."
Yueyu retorted.
"What do you mean, 'sell out'? She wanted to meet young friend Leon herself, that's why I brought her."
Jingtian wouldn't accept that accusation.
"You know, for us diviners?"
"A good variable, one that's enough to change fate... that's something you can't even pray for."
After word of his deeds today gets out, I doubt there's a single diviner who wouldn't want to meet Leon.
"And now, a variable we have a chance to grasp stands right before us. Who could resist coming to see this Fate-Breaker?"
According to the divination results from the Omni-Foresight Matrix, the only way for the Xianzhou Alliance to overcome the united forces of the Denizens of Abundance was to ask the Reignbow Arbiter for aid.
"Even my stubborn disciple is no exception."
But the current outcome was completely different from the original divination.
And all of this was because of one person's appearance.
The Fate-Breaker, one who shatters destiny.
In the history of the Alliance, only two such people have ever appeared.
One was the Reignbow Arbiter during the era of the Flint Emperor.
The second is the Leon of today.
There's an old saying: history always repeats itself.
"Good luck to you."
What else could Yueyu say?
Their brief conversation ended there. The two of them, still hidden, turned their gazes back to Leon, waiting for him to make a decision.
"Is anyone sitting here?"
But before Fu Xuan could answer, a tailless Foxian with silver-white hair tied in a high ponytail pulled out an empty chair beside them and asked with a smile.
When Jingtian saw the newcomer, his eyes widened.
He immediately turned to Yueyu with a disbelieving look, an expression that screamed, "And you were lecturing me?"
"Sigh, your apprentice wanted to see the Fate-Breaker. Doesn't my apprentice want to see the person who saved her master?"
Yueyu said without batting an eye.
That's right, kids, she did it too.
The Yaoqing is known as the Xianzhou with the most martial virtue. How could we possibly retreat without a fight?
As for where Leon ends up...
...they certainly can't just hand him over. They have to at least compete for him.
After all, it wouldn't be the Yaoqing without that competitive spirit.
"Come on, sis!"
Jingtian, feeling backstabbed, wore an expression that said, "I can't believe you, of all people, would pull something like this!"
"What are you looking at me for?"
Yueyu cleared her throat a few times, signaling him to pay attention to the gathering.
"For the record, your apprentice came here by chance. My apprentice was planning to come from the start."
To prevent him from thinking the Yaoqing was just copying the Yuque, Yueyu felt it was necessary to clarify the sequence of events.
"You're the challengers!"
It's your master-apprentice duo versus our master-apprentice duo on this one!
"Sigh."
Jingtian sighed, not knowing what else to say.
He silently shifted his gaze back to the three of them.
The tactical Yuque versus the powerhouse Yaoqing.
Looking at his apprentice, whose "stats" were clearly a whole lot lower than the other's, he could only hope that Leon preferred them petite.
"No, please sit."
Fu Xuan shook her head.
Basically everyone here was a soldier who had risked their life on the battlefield. She had no right to act high and mighty.
Not even a Heavenly General would have that right here.
In fact, anyone who dared to put on airs in front of these comrades was probably a spy for the Abundance.
"Thank you."
Feixiao thanked her politely, only daring to take a seat after getting an affirmative reply.
"We meet again."
As soon as she sat down, Feixiao greeted him.
"Thank you for your help on the battlefield earlier. If you hadn't intervened, I'm afraid my companions wouldn't have made it back with all our members intact."
Feixiao said sincerely.
Having finished his meal, Leon put down his bowl and chopsticks, took a sip of SoulGlad, and let out a long sigh.
"It was nothing."
Leon nodded in acknowledgment.
"My name is Feixiao."
Hearing this, Feixiao gave a charming smile and asked, "And what's your name? Dreamboat?"
"I vaguely remember you saying your real name at the end, but I was so out of it I couldn't really hear, so I didn't catch it."
Feixiao scratched her head, embarrassed.
"My name is Leon, but of course, you can call me Dreamboat too."
Leon stated his name once again.
"Leon... Leon..."
Feixiao murmured it many times, as if wanting to etch the name into her heart.
"Yes, Leon, thank you!"
Feixiao said earnestly, "Thank you for saving the General!"
"General Yueyu is the one who gave me a new life. The reason I have the life I do now, the reason I was able to escape the clutches of the Borisin, is all because of her!"
The chair beneath Feixiao was pushed back as she, who had only just sat down, suddenly stood up.
"My parents were killed by the Borisin when I was little. The General was the one who gave me the chance to join the Yaoqing and get revenge!"
"She raised me as if I were her own child. I can say for certain that she is the most important person in my life!"
As she said this, Feixiao bent at the waist, bowing her head in thanks.
"So thank you, I truly thank you!"
"Thank you for bringing the General back to me! Thank you for doing what I couldn't do!"
