Chapter 816: 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.

In a word, one’s fate is in one’s own hands. The presence of others may influence one’s fate, but it is still oneself who ultimately decides it.

Xuetuan stared blankly at its master, seriously reflecting on her words, only to realize there was absolutely no room for argument. Indeed, at the end of the day, fate is in one’s own hands, just like it, being sealed was its fate; unwilling to resign to that fate, it sought out Yanyan and broke the seal, and that too was its fate.

Yanyan wants to help Miss Liu change her destiny and prevent the marriage between the Liu and Du Families, but the choice lies in the hands of the Liu Family. If the Liu Family or Miss Liu don’t want to call off the marriage, all of Yanyan’s efforts will be in vain.

Since changing fate is in keeping with fate and also with the Heavenly Dao, even if karmic obstacles arise, they are borne by the person who changes the fate. Why would it have anything to do with Yanyan?

With this realization, Xuetuan felt suddenly enlightened, and its state of mind cleared instantaneously.

"Yanyan, I was obsessed!" Xue tuanzi sincerely admitted its mistake.

It had always believed that fate could be changed, and the Heavenly Dao was irreversible, but it had never considered that the Heavenly Dao relies on the existence of all beings. The natural fate of a person is fate, and a person changing their fate is also fate; both are acknowledged by the Heavenly Dao! However, some accumulate karmic obstacles by changing their fate and ultimately suffer the consequences; that’s the punishment of the Heavenly Dao. Others change their fate and accumulate blessings; that’s a gift from the Heavenly Dao!

Mo Yan stroked Xue tuanzi’s soft belly and smiled without saying a word. The distress that had been pressing on her for so long vanished without a trace as soon as she spoke those words.

"Yanyan, I don’t oppose your helping Miss Liu change her fate, but remember not to incur karmic obstacles. It’s best to go with the flow!" Xue tuanzi reminded, fearing that its master might act in haste and use inappropriate methods.
