Chapter 39: Child of Fortune
Just as he was thinking, a mechanical voice suddenly rang out in his mind: “Ding, lucky one detected.”
Lu Fengmian froze. “Child of Fortune?”
He looked at the youth beneath the tree again. Qi Refining, fifth stage; an outer sect disciple by status, yet dressed in faded, whitened old clothes, with an air of “ordinary” from head to toe.
【Name: Little Jin.】
【Background: A direct descendant of the Xiao family. In his early years, his elders arranged a marriage alliance with the Bai family. As times changed, the Xiao family declined. Three months ago, his fiancée and her elders came to publicly dissolve the engagement. Xiao Jin felt humiliated, left home in anger, and joined Lingyun Sect.】
Hearing that, Lu Fengmian was stunned. He sighed inwardly. “Wow, this character setup is way too classic.”
As for the old broken-engagement cliché—“Thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river; do not bully the poor youth”—he had already seen that trope far too many times in novels in his previous life.
