Chapter 114: The Son of Destiny—Su Wanqing!

Year 13!

【The next day, you and Zhuge Qing set off for Xuanzhou.】

【Since there was no direct route from Youzhou to Xuanzhou, you would first go to Zhongzhou and then travel from there to Xuanzhou.】

Year 13!

【You arrived in Xuanzhou.】

【However, due to the distance of Shuiyue Sect, it took another two months to reach the vicinity of Shuiyue Village.】

【Upon arriving at Shuiyue Sect, you first checked on the situation in Shuiyue Village.】

【As you expected, the people of the Purple Firmament Holy Land had not troubled the common people of Shuiyue Village.】

【After arriving at Shuiyue Sect, a Core Formation cultivator blocked your way.】

【The man asked who you were and what your intentions were.】

【You informed him that you were friends of their sect master, Bai He.】

【The man frowned upon hearing this. In his memory, Sect Master Bai rarely left Shuiyue Sect and seldom made friends. The only time she traveled far was a few years ago during an incident.】

【The man told you to wait outside while he went to ask Bai He.】

【Soon after, Bai He personally came out to greet you.】

【“So it’s really you! What brings you to Xuanzhou all of a sudden?”】

【“This time, you didn’t have to flee here again, did you?”】

【Bai He greeted you with a smile and even made a light joke.】

【You didn’t reveal your true purpose immediately, instead telling Bai He that you were concerned about Shuiyue Sect’s situation, worried that the Tribulation-Transcendence experts from the Purple Firmament Holy Land might strike again.】

【Upon hearing this, Bai He was immediately warmed by your concern, surprised that after only one encounter, you cared so much for Shuiyue Sect.】

【Bai He led you into the main hall of Shuiyue Sect, and the man from earlier served each of you a pot of fine tea.】

【After sitting down, Bai He once again asked about the true purpose of your visit.】

【Although your earlier response was reasonable, Bai He, being no fool, understood the deeper implications.】

【You and Zhuge Qing exchanged a glance and then told Bai He about the recent pollution of the secret realms in Zhongzhou.】

【“The secret realms have been polluted?”】

【“How is that possible?”】

【Bai He was immediately skeptical when she heard the description.】

【Seeing her reaction, you knew that no one would not be shocked upon first hearing such news.】

【Even when you first discovered that the Fallen Immortal Secret Realm had been polluted, you had been too shocked to describe it.】

【You then explained to Bai He that the true culprit behind the pollution of the secret realms was the Son of Destiny in the hands of the Heavenly Dao.】

【“The Heavenly Dao?”】

【“Why would the Heavenly Dao sever the future of the Canglan Realm? There’s no reason for it to do that!”】

【You, of course, understood that the Heavenly Dao had no intention of doing so, but the situation was exactly as you had described.】

【You knew the Heavenly Dao’s original intention was to save the Canglan Realm, but it ended up doing more harm than good, as the Bizarre Insect Clan had manipulated it.】

【After hearing everything, Bai He silently accepted the truth.】

【“So, you’re here to ask me to help you find the Son of Destiny in Zhongzhou?”】

【As soon as Bai He spoke, you and Zhuge Qing exchanged another glance, unsure how to begin.】

【After a long silence, you sighed deeply.】

【“To be honest, I used the Heavenly Secrets Art to deduce that one of the Children of Destiny is in Xuanzhou.”】

【Upon hearing this, Bai He immediately understood the true purpose of your visit.】

【“So... you mean you suspect that there’s a Son of Destiny within Shuiyue Sect?”】

【You told Bai He that you weren’t sure, but you wanted to rule out Shuiyue Sect as a possibility so you could begin the search.】

【After hearing this, Bai He’s face became somewhat grim.】

【There were four people in Shuiyue Sect besides her, all of whom she had personally introduced and taught. Now, you were suggesting that one of them might be secretly working against the human race.】

【Bai He found this hard to accept.】

【You could tell that Bai He was deeply troubled, so you reassured her.】

【“Sect Master Bai, the Son of Destiny may not be in Shuiyue Sect. We’re just here to rule out this possibility.”】

【Upon hearing this, Bai He’s expression softened somewhat.】

【Though her face had relaxed, you could still sense that Bai He wasn’t fully at ease.】

【Bai He then stood up and told you to wait while she went to consult with her four disciples.】

【After a long wait in the main hall, Bai He returned with her four disciples.】

【“Do you have a way to determine who the Son of Destiny is directly?”】

【You nodded at Bai He, indicating that you had a way to find out.】

【You then turned your gaze toward the other four disciples of Shuiyue Sect.】

【One of them was the man you had initially seen outside Shuiyue Sect.】

【Upon seeing him earlier, you had already used your Eye of Truth to check him, and you could immediately rule him out.】

【Next, you looked at the remaining three: one man and two women.】

【The three of them felt uneasy as your gaze swept over them.】

【But remembering that this was a request from Bai He, they reluctantly endured the scrutiny.】

【After checking two of them and finding nothing, you felt a bit of relief.】

【However, when your gaze landed on the fourth and final person, a woman, your pupils dilated, and your body involuntarily began to tremble.】

【You hadn’t expected the Son of Destiny to be right here in Shuiyue Sect.】

【After reading Su Wanqing's details, you couldn’t help but marvel at how much stronger her talents were compared to Lin Qi’s.】

【Su Wanqing wasn’t just a Son of Destiny; she also had a Star Body.】

【You knew that if Su Wanqing weren’t the Son of Destiny, she would be a future giant for the human race.】

【At this moment, Su Wanqing noticed your intense gaze and seemed a little embarrassed and angry.】

【“Senior! Why are you staring at me like that?”】

【As soon as she spoke, Zhuge Qing turned his head sharply to look at you, then quickly turned his gaze to Su Wanqing.】

【From your expression, Zhuge Qing immediately understood that you had figured out something about Su Wanqing.】

【“Is it her?”】
