Bai Yunfei gave a couple of dry coughs to ease the awkward atmosphere then said with a stern expression: “I want to consult with you about some things, miss. Hopefully you can help me.”
“Oh? What do you want to ask me about? Just tell me. You want to ask me how old my junior sister is and whether she’s married, right?” Qiu Luliu still said jokingly with a smile.
“Senior sister, you…” Behind her, Chu Yuhe immediately pulled her sleeve in a lovely manner to protest.
“Er… Ahem, Miss Qiu Luliu, I want to ask you about that Crafting School. What kind of school is it? And where is it?”
“Oh? Then you’re not from the Crafting School? Plus, you don’t even know these tidbits?” Qiu Luliu asked somewhat doubtfully, no longer joking with him.
“I’m not a disciple of any school. I just came across an elder of the Fate School and got a soul cultivation technique from him. But I haven’t joined a school.” Bai Yunfei explained.
“What? The Fate School?!” Qiu Luliu shouted softly, her doubtful expression turning into a surprised one.
“Oh, what? The Fate School is very famous?” This time it was Bai Yunfei who asked doubtfully.
“Very famous? Not only ‘very’ famous, I think you’re one of the very few soul cultivators in the entire Heavenly Soul continent who doesn’t know about the Fate School.” Seeing the doubtful expression on his face, Qiu Luliu continued in a somewhat frustrated manner: “The Fate School isn’t one of the ten great schools in the world, but it’s almost on par with them in status. The Fate School believes in fate and pays particular attention to following Heaven’s will. Its cultivation technique is extremely special. According to legend, the people of this school use their souls to sense Heaven’s will and use their ‘fate souls’ to find out the path of fate, thus being able to know the past and predict the future.
“Many schools in the continent consider it an honor to be given directions by the Fate School. Every time they encounter a catastrophe, they all hope to obtain directions from the Fate School. Moreover, every school helped by the Fate School has been able to turn danger into safety in the end. Only, whether they will offer their help depends solely on the word ‘fate’ they believe in. It can’t be forced. Plus, the Fate School seems to never have taken part in power struggles and stay in seclusion perennially so it’s quite mysterious. The location of the school is even known to only a few people. Every disciple of the Fate School who goes out to gain experience is desired and courted by the major powers in the world.”
Bai Yunfei was somewhat absorbed in listening. He had not expected the Fate School to be such a formidable school.
“Since you were taught by an elder from the Fate School, did you learn that secret method for peeking into the future?” At this point, Qiu Luliu looked at Bai Yunfei with glittering eyes.
“Er… I have to disappoint you, miss. That elder only taught me the most basic soul cultivation technique and gave me this interspatial ring and some soul items. There wasn’t that mysterious secret technique you mentioned at all.”
