Chapter 38: Turning Point

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

Jiang Yi stood up and walked to the window, looking at the busy figures of the workers outside. His mood seemed to have been comforted. He had ordered the various flowers, plants, and trees planted by ‘that person’ in the past five years to be uprooted and replaced with the things that Fu Xin used to like. He also replaced the things in their bedroom.

When Fu Xin returned and dealt with the clothes that ‘that person’ had worn, all traces of ‘that person’ in this house would disappear.

It was rare for Jiang Yi to feel impatient again. After waiting for two lifetimes, they were finally going to meet. He turned around and watched the live broadcast. Finally, he took out his phone and made a call.

In the production team.

Old Mr. Zhang looked at the unfamiliar caller ID. Although there was no name, he knew who it was. “Mr. Jiang.”

“Hello, Daoist Master.” Jiang Yi was not surprised that the old man could guess who he was. Considering that the old man’s work courtyard was now surrounded by cameras, he asked first, “Is it convenient to talk now?”

“Sure.” The person on the other end of the line pondered for a moment.

“Daoist Master, can you see past and present lives?” Jiang Yi’s voice was low. “If I remember correctly, the martial arts master invited by the production team to participate in the recording in my previous life wasn’t you.”

Old Mr. Zhang did not answer immediately. He recalled a child’s bright smile in his mind. Five years ago, when Jiang Yi realized that something was wrong with ‘Fu Xin,’ he reached out to him. He calculated with his fingers and connected with the soul of the other world, which disrupted the Jiang family. At the same time, he concluded that he was powerless. However, everything in the world had variables, and that variable was Jiang Xinyuan.

The influence of the other world’s soul was too great. Old Mr. Zhang had tried to deduce it repeatedly, but he couldn’t deduce what the future would be like. He could only tell Jiang Yi to let the child spend more time with ‘Fu Xin.’ A turning point would appear, but he didn’t know the time and place.

Jiang Yi had found many mystic masters. What they said was either the same as Old Mr. Zhang or they said that there was nothing they could do. Jiang Yi was at a dead end and could only follow Old Mr. Zhang’s suggestion.

In the blink of an eye, five years had passed. Old Mr. Zhang suddenly sensed something and ‘saw’ the future.

After experiencing hardships, the young birds returned to their nests!

He never thought that the turning point brought about by Jiang Xinyuan would come at such a tragic price.

He sighed softly. “I can’t see past and present lives, but I’m fated to see the future. Your son is blessed and pure. He used reincarnation as the price to exchange for the return of Madam’s soul…”

Jiang Yi felt as if someone was pressing on his throat. After a long silence, he finally asked, “His wish was to give up on reincarnation, so he only has this life, right?”

Old Mr. Zhang shook his head. “That’s not the case. He has a body of great merit. In this life, he became the child of you and your wife. He was originally here to enjoy life. I didn’t expect such a change to happen. The ability of that soul from another world is not compatible with our world. It’ll absorb the luck of this world for her use. Her luck, your son’s luck, and your wife’s luck are different. If we can expel her from this world, it’ll also be a merit to this world. At that time, perhaps your son will have other fortunes.”

Jiang Yi frowned. “You mean that person hasn’t disappeared?”

Old Mr. Zhang nodded. “Yes.”

“Where is she? Will she snatch Fu Xin’s body again?” Worry for Fu Xin and hatred for that person surged in his heart at the same time. Jiang Yi’s body was cold.

“I don’t think so. I don’t know what kind of opportunity your wife encountered, but her fate became very strong after her soul returned. It complements your son. The current situation is unfavorable to that person. As for where she is, ordinary people like us have no way of knowing. Only your son has great luck and can barely resist her. I only barely managed to deduce that this calamity hasn’t passed. My attainments aren’t deep enough.” Old Master Zhang’s ability was rare, but he was helpless in the face of such an unreasonable thing. Many otherworldly souls had taken a fancy to the children of luck in this world and wanted to take advantage of them. Therefore, the outcome of things depended on whether the children of luck in the current era could resist them.

One of the children of luck in this world was Jiang Xinyuan. As the mother who could give birth to a child of luck, Fu Xin’s luck was also very strong. Otherwise, the otherworldly soul would not have chosen to take advantage of her difficult delivery.

“Daoist Master, you’re too modest. If it weren’t for you, there wouldn’t be such a turn of events. Our family wouldn’t have had the chance to meet again.” However, as a father, he owed Jiang Xinyuan too much. “Can I do anything for them?”

“Don’t do anything. The otherworldly soul is too obsessed with you. Don’t appear in front of your son before the outcome is decided, lest she jumps over the wall in desperation!” Old Mr. Zhang said seriously.

Jiang Yi: “…”
