Ye Tian Yun was perplexed.
'If I am searching at the correct place but the manual isn't here and Xiao Ming didn't find any manual last night, then who has the manual?'
'From the report on the God's Legion I received before rebirth, it was clearly stated that Xiao Ming got his first plot armor, the manual, on the Third Floor of the Martial Book Pavilion after he became the Top Ranked Disciple in the Inner Court Entrance Hunt.'
'And if he didn't get the manual last night, then he won't get the manual at all. Because this was the only chance he had to enter this floor. The next chance won't come till the Grand Spirit Hunt.'
'What in the world is happening?'
'System, can't you give me a discount this time and tell me who has the manual?'
[System is impartial and cannot consent on discount]
Ye Tian Yun scratched his head as he said, 'Damn it, the tell me how do I get that manual? Just tell me something useful from all the fate points I have.'
[System suggests that Host should make Yuan Shuchun his ally]
[Fate Points consumed: 11]
[Remaining Fate Points: 0]
Ye Tian Yun stared ahead with a shocked blank expression. His mind felt numb after hearing what the system has just advised him. To make friends with Yuan Shuchun? To ally with the person whose nature was synonymous with creating chaos?
As much as he found the character of Yuan Shuchun interesting, he just wanted to stay away from her. Not because she could be a distraction for him, but because she would end up creating more trouble for him.
He knew the secrets of many younger and old generation cultivators of the Lower and Middle Heavens. In his previous life, he had forced himself to understand the intricate relationships between different powers so that he finds a weak link in God's Legion.
And among all the reports he read, excluding the members of the God's Legion, very few people stood out. And Yuan Shuchun was one of them.
She was the only character who will encounter and make enemies with more than one God's Legion member before it could even form.
And even after all this, she will survive because instead of killing her, God's Legion will just avoid this plague.
Ye Tian Yun was now in a big dilemma. However, before he wanted to think deeper about this, he had one thing to ask the system.
'System, do you know the future?'
[System does not know the future]
'Then, why would you suggest me to ally with Yuan Shuchun? And you said I don't have enough fate points to know where the manual is, so Yuan Shuchun shouldn't be the person who possesses it.'
[System may not know the future but it knows the past. It knows everything happened before rebirth, which is now future]
'Huh? But you just said you don't know the future.'
[The future which system knows is now invalid because it all happened when you didn't go through a rebirth. With your rebirth and knowledge acting as the catalyst, the future that System knows is becoming impossible with your every move]
'What? Doesn't that mean that after some time, all the information I have will become useless?'
[System cannot answer this. The future is ever-changing. Everything is working in sync. And if you make huge changes in the present time, the future will be affected. For better or for worse.]
'So what should I do? Go back home and wait for my death? Or kill my future enemies, and strive to claim that god emblem?'
[The choice is yours to make, Host.]
'Still, in your opinion, what should I do?'
[System suggests that the host should make Yuan Shuchun his ally.]
'Ah, not again.' Ye Tian Yun's eyebrows scrunched when he received System's reply. His aim to get into the sect was to kill Xiao Ming and take away his Token of Fate. Then he would move on to his next target.
However, if he made acquaintances with Yuan Shuchun, things would turn out different. He will get himself into a big mess and will have no choice but to join the internal conflict of the Gracious Sword Sect.
To Ye Tian Yun, this conflict between the Sect Leader and Grand Elder or the Heavenly League and World League was meaningless. He had no plans to become part of this in any way. Just like Xiao Ming, he wanted to stay away from this conflict. However, if he started to take sides, and join Yuan Shuchun, he will have to make 'contributions' to make himself trustworthy, but why should he do this? His aim wasn't to gain power in the sect nor was it to seduce Yuan Shuchun. He only wanted to kill Xiao Ming, get the Token, and move on.
For a manual, which wasn't even the 'real' plot armour of his enemy, should he waste more time in making acquaintances? Was it worth it? Ye Tian Yun was very confused. And what confused him, even more, was the fact that in his previous life, Xiao Ming did get the manual, so did he also make friends with Yuan Shuchun? But then why are they enemies?
Too many questions, but one decision.. He didn't think that a simple plan of his to take away a manual will not only go off track but, it was even about to affect his future plans.
