Worldwide Class Change: An Invincible Swordsman

Chapter 662: Chapter 661, The Clue Left by the Fortune Teller_1

Jiang Chen asked, "So it wasn’t him?"

Yuan Ziyi shook her head. "I don’t know. The person inside can’t awaken their power, but if I knew his name, I could probably confirm if it’s him."

Jiang Chen nodded. "Knock on the door."

The thug nodded.

KNOCK KNOCK KNOCK...

A young man opened the door, and the thug asked, "What’s your name?"

"Who are you?"

"I’m asking you what your damn name is!"

"Zhao Ning."

Yuan Ziyi made a quick calculation, then shook her head. "It’s not him..."

Jiang Chen nodded. "If it’s not him, let’s go."

The two left the residential complex and returned to the slums.

They continued to wait.

They kept waiting for responses. After an hour, someone else noticed something unusual and immediately came to report it.

Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi went to investigate once more.

Still, they found nothing.

They searched for three or four people this way, one after another, only to find that none of them were the Son of Destiny. Finding a Son of Destiny was incredibly difficult.

Exploring like this offered no real chance of success.

But for now, this was their only method; they could only rely on Yuan Ziyi to find the Son of Destiny.

Jiang Chen said, "You all keep searching. I will wait here for three days. If we don’t find him by then, I will leave, and you will lose your chance at the ten million gold coins."

Hearing this, Biati immediately ordered a comprehensive search.

Dozens more people were found, but none of them were the Son of Destiny Jiang Chen was looking for.

Yuan Ziyi shook her head. "Your method is good, but if the Son of Destiny hasn’t awakened their power, it’s simply impossible to find them."

"Even I can’t detect them. Moreover, destiny allows them to seek good fortune and avoid disaster. They are even more formidable than Fortune Tellers, as they can sense which places are dangerous and which are not."

Yuan Ziyi’s words reminded Jiang Chen.

A Fortune Teller.

How had he not thought of that!

Perhaps the Fortune Teller was also a Son of Destiny.

Jiang Chen immediately stood up. "Let’s go. I’ll take you to a place to meet someone. Help me see if he is truly the Son of Destiny."

"Who?"

"I don’t know who he is either. He’s an old man who claims to be a Fortune Teller. I’ve seen him twice in the black market; the old fellow is shrouded in mystery."

"I’ve never been able to see through him. It’s very likely he is the Son of Destiny."

Jiang Chen then told Yuan Ziyi about his encounters with the Fortune Teller, describing both the first and second meetings.

Yuan Ziyi nodded. "Hearing what you’ve said, that person is very likely a god-level Fortune Teller, but it’s also possible, as you suspect, that he is the Son of Destiny."

"If it really is him, what do you plan to do?"

"Isn’t that obvious? Of course, I’ll take action. I won’t allow anyone to control my destiny."

Jiang Chen and Yuan Ziyi quickly traveled to Xileruo World.

「They reached the black market.」

They knew the way well.

But the Fortune Teller was already gone; the place was empty and desolate.

Jiang Chen said, "It looks like he’s already left."

"If he is a Son of Destiny, having met you twice and formed a connection, he could have predicted your intent to kill him. He probably went into hiding, not wanting you to find him."

"If only we had come a bit sooner."

"It wouldn’t have mattered if we came earlier or later. The moment you harbored the intent to kill him, he would have known. Such is the unique nature of destiny."

"Therefore, in the World of Eternity, very few can resist destiny, apart from the Terminating Power."

Jiang Chen looked at a beggar nearby.

He casually took out a hundred gold coins, placed them in the beggar’s bowl, and asked, "Wasn’t there an old man who told fortunes here? Do you know where he lives?"

The beggar shook his head. "I don’t know."

"He often told fortunes here."

"I know. He told me that if someone came looking for him, I should show them something. I think you’re that person."

Jiang Chen was completely bewildered.

What a character!

He really is a Fortune Teller; he even predicted I would come.

Who in the world is this old man?

Jiang Chen asked, "What is it?"

"A set of Tarot Cards."

The beggar took a set of Tarot Cards from his pocket and handed them to Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen’s face was full of doubt.

He’s giving me Tarot Cards?

What does this mean?

Does he expect me to tell my own fortune?

Jiang Chen asked, "Did he say anything else?"

"He said the person you are looking for is as distant as the far horizon, yet as close as right before your eyes..."

Jiang Chen was stunned.

He turned to look at Yuan Ziyi.

Could it be her?

No, that’s impossible!

If it were Yuan Ziyi, Zhuang Maobin definitely wouldn’t have let her go. And if it was her, why would she follow me? Wasn’t she afraid I might act against her?

Their eyes met.

Yuan Ziyi said, "You don’t think that Prophet was referring to me, do you? Could it be that in your heart, you also see me as a Son of Destiny?"

Jiang Chen took a deep breath. "I don’t know."

"If I were a Son of Destiny, I wouldn’t be traipsing all over with you, searching for another Son of Destiny. And Zhuang Maobin wouldn’t have spared me."

"By your side, you could kill me at any moment."

"You’re a smart man. You should know I wouldn’t put my life in danger by staying next to someone perilous."

Jiang Chen nodded; her words made sense.

If he were a Son of Destiny, he wouldn’t do that either. After all, staying with someone who could kill him at any moment would be extremely dangerous.

But there’s an old saying: the most dangerous place is often the safest.

What if Yuan Ziyi *is* the one?

If Yuan Ziyi is a Son of Destiny, what is her purpose in following me?

For safety?

To condense her God’s Seal?

The Sons of Destiny are not singular; there are many. Their fate is to battle each other, seeking to seize one another’s Power of Destiny.

Yuan Ziyi’s Law is very unique. In her mind, to defeat the other Sons of Destiny, she must innovate, she must have her own God’s Seal.

Perhaps Yuan Ziyi had planned this from the very beginning.

Because the Destiny Law is very unique.

Zhuang Maobin is a Son of Destiny who fused with Space Law, surpassing everyone else and able to escape even from under the noses of Lords.

And Yuan Ziyi possesses the Name Devouring Law; by knowing someone’s name, by having them state their name clearly, she can control them.

Of course, this was all just Jiang Chen’s speculation.

But what if she isn’t?

What if the Fortune Teller is the Son of Destiny?

Perhaps he’s trying to misdirect me. A Fortune Teller belongs to the Support Class and doesn’t have much fighting power. However, if Prophecy Laws merge with Destiny Law, they can help avoid all disasters.

And that Fortune Teller had been waiting here all along, only leaving after Jiang Chen discovered the truth.

Jiang Chen looked at Yuan Ziyi and smiled. "I believe you."

"No, your eyes don’t show belief. You’ve already started to doubt me. In your heart, you think I am a Son of Destiny."

Jiang Chen was silent.

Yes.

That was what Jiang Chen believed in his heart.

Even if there was only a one-in-ten-thousand chance, Jiang Chen wouldn’t let it pass.

Of course, if Yuan Ziyi truly was a Son of Destiny, that would be terrifying.

This woman was even more fearsome than Zhuang Maobin.

And he had even told Yuan Ziyi his real name.

Thinking of this, cold sweat trickled down Jiang Chen’s back.

Damn it!

I’ve been fooled!
