Chapter 816 Together (1)
"Xue tuanzi, Sister Lan is my best friend, and I can’t just stand by and watch her jump into a fire pit. Regardless of the consequences, I must stop her from marrying that man from the Du family!"
Xue tuanzi’s warning did not make Mo Yan back down. That was her best friend. Not knowing would have been one thing, but knowing that the man from the Du family could not give Sister Lan happiness, if she didn’t stop it, her conscience would be uneasy for the rest of her life.
"Yanyan, don’t be reckless!" Xue tuanzi’s tone was unprecedentedly serious, and he already regretted telling Mo Yan about it: "That is her fate. If you help her change her fate, you will also change the destiny of others. If this creates karmic obstacles, the karmic consequences will also befall you!"
Mo Yan smiled proudly: "This world might have the Heavenly Dao you speak of, but the existence of all things is the very foundation of the Heavenly Dao! Humans are one of these beings and the destiny of an individual is just as inscrutable, which, as you said, isn’t set in stone! You say that changing Sister Lan’s fate might lead to changes in others’ destinies too, but who’s to say that isn’t their true fate? Just like in the first life, Bro Xiao was plotted against and died, and the Crown Prince also succumbed to poison. In this life, they are both alive and well, and even the internal strife in Great Chu in the coming years can be changed! You’ve said that because of my existence, the fate of Great Chu nearly falling apart and being decimated by a foreign tribe was altered. This shows that fate can be changed! As for punishment, there may well be some. Just like when I changed Bro Xiao and the Crown Prince’s fates, I incurred the wrath of King Heng and the Lin Family, and they nearly killed me. But in the end, I was the one who triumphed. If the consequences of changing fate can be overcome, why can’t I help Sister Lan and change her miserable destiny?"
In this world, some people are born with a silver spoon in their mouth and do not need to do anything to live a life without worries about food and clothing; others are born into poverty and struggle on the edge of survival—this is their fate!
Those born with a silver spoon, if they yield to luxury and dissipation without striving for self-improvement, will sooner or later squander the wealth left by their ancestors; those born in poverty, if they strive and persevere, will one day stand out—that is also fate.
