Tan You looked up at the sky, where a few stars twinkled on the horizon. She suddenly raised an eyebrow. "Fate... Even fate you create yourself is still fate."
Many people say to let nature take its course, but to Tan You, passively waiting made that philosophy seem far too pessimistic. She preferred to put in the effort first and *then* let nature take its course. That way, everything would simply fall into place.
'Who's to say a forced fate isn't still fate? They say a melon plucked by force isn't sweet, but I want the melon, not its sweetness.'
The brief exchange was over in an instant, but Tan You was in no hurry. 'Rushing leads to mistakes. It's better to go slow and make sure I don't miss anything.'
Even as she searched for Bai Ze, Tan You left markers along her path, cataloging all the contracted demons she encountered. That way, once she found a powerful demon to anchor her formation, she could seek out these other demons with specific goals in mind.
