“My destiny is not enough?!” When Fleur heard these words, she frowned and blurted out, “Master, what do you mean by 'my destiny is not enough'?”Marcius replied calmly, “You have not been on the path of cultivation long enough. There are many things that cultivators need to understand that you still do not comprehend. In the future, when you understand the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams, you will realize that people have various destinies, and destiny is the key to everything.”Fleur was surprised and asked, “Master, what is destiny?”Marcius explained, “Destiny is the foundation of a person. The specific destiny could be represented by heavenly stems, earthly branches, birds, or animals. Most people's destinies are represented by heavenly stems and earthly branches. Even the king was at best a polar fate going against fate, but in order to go against one’s destiny, one would need to have at least the fate of the tiger or python.”“Furthermore, there are higher destinies l
She knew that there was another meaning behind her master's words. He was implying that her character was not upright and righteous enough compared to Elijah, and there was still a big gap between them. This made her even more displeased.However, Elijah did not intend to accept the ring. He quickly refused, saying, “Master, you have already helped me too much. I cannot accept this ring…”Marcius smiled lightly and tossed the ring at Elijah. The ring suddenly disappeared in midair and appeared on Elijah’s finger the next second.Before Elijah could understand what had happened, Marcius spoke up and said, “Elijah, the ring has recognized you as its master. Keep it well. This ring might save your life if you encounter any unexpected events in the future.”After Marcius was done speaking, two cranes raised by him walked in. They stood on both sides of Marcius and constantly rubbed their necks against him as they made whimpering sounds.Marcius reached out his hand to stroke the two c
Fleur was also filled with anger, so she said coldly, “Elijah, you don't need to defend that old man anymore. Since he's already dead, you and I should take this Eternal Pill and improve our cultivation quickly. We should find the treasures he hid as soon as possible!”Elijah was extremely disappointed. “Fleur, from today onward, I am no longer your senior, and you are no longer my junior. From today onward, you are just a Griffin family member to me. I only acknowledge Flynn, and I have no more connection with anyone else at all!”Fleur immediately became anxious and blurted out, “Elijah, why are you so obtuse?! That old man lived for a thousand years, so why did he only give us pills to live for five hundred years? He's clearly holding something back from us and it’s something extremely significant!”Elijah waved his hand and said, “Forget it, Fleur. Our relationship ends today. I will stay here and mourn our master for three years, so you can leave on your own.”Fleur stomped he
Fleur was extremely shocked when Elijah disappeared in an instant.At first, she could not understand why Elijah had vanished into thin air. It took her a while to realize that the ring must have teleported Elijah to another place. This made her furious. She clenched her teeth angrily and exclaimed, “You old coot, you're so biased! You said that Elijah and I weren't qualified to inherit your legacy, but you gave him a treasure that can teleport instantly. Why don't I have one? Why not! Tell me! Tell me!!!”Only Fleur remained at the cave where her Master rested and where Elijah disappeared, and her hysterical screams echoed through the valley.After a long time, Fleur wiped the blood off her sword with an expressionless face, sheathed the sword back in her waist, and said coldly, “Elijah, from today onward, you and I are enemies!”With that said, she walked away without looking back and headed down the mountain. More than ten days later, when she rushed to Yorkshire Hill withou
Meanwhile, in the luxurious Champs Elys hot spring villa in Aurous Hill, the Ackers waited anxiously the entire day but did not see Charlie at all.They could not eat or drink all day, only wanting to see Charlie as soon as possible to confirm with their own eyes that he was indeed safe and sound.During dinner time, Albert and a few others arrived and entered the house. After coming in, Albert said to Christian, who came to open the door, “Mr. Christian, I have prepared some exquisite dishes for you all. These are all specially prepared by the chefs from The Heaven Springs. I personally supervised the ingredients and watched over them while they cooked. I asked them to make an additional small portion, and I've already tested it for poison. It's safe to eat!”Christian didn't expect that this middle-aged man, Albert, could be so meticulous in his work. He couldn't help but feel surprised and quickly expressed his gratitude, “Thank you so much for going through all this trouble, Mr.
The Acker family members were all extremely happy when they found out that Charlie was coming for dinner. They were all overjoyed, almost as if they were celebrating the New Year.Lady Acker instructed her children to tidy up the dining table and arrange the dishes brought by Albert’s subordinates neatly. Lord Acker kept muttering to himself, “It’s a good day today. No matter what it is, I'm going to have a few drinks later when Charlie comes!”Lulu, who was aside, hurriedly said, “Dad, you've just started to recover a little, so you shouldn't be drinking.”“Nonsense!” Lord Acker replied without hesitation, “Isn’t the purpose of my recovery just for this day? It wouldn’t make sense for me not to drink on such an important occasion!”Lady Acker smiled and said, “You should let your dad drink if he wants to. We've been hoping for our grandson to come back for twenty years. Not to mention him, even I want to have a couple of drinks as well.”Christian quickly suggested, “Mom, why d
Charlie nodded and said, “Grandpa, to be honest with you, after my parents met with an accident, Stephen arranged for me to stay in the welfare home, where my true identity was kept hidden.”Lord Acker couldn't help but sigh and say, “It seems I underestimated your father's abilities. I’m afraid only your father could have thought of making such bold moves in the dark.”At this point, he said with great satisfaction, “I used to think that your father might be the most capable young talent I had ever met, but I never expected that you, Charlie, would surpass him. If it weren't for your covert assistance, your grandmother, aunt and uncles, and I would probably have died long ago.”Charlie said seriously, “Grandpa, you don't need to be so polite with me. The same blood that’s running through the Ackers runs through my veins as well, so I will never stand by and do nothing for the Ackers.”Lord Acker's eyes reddened, and he choked up as he said, “When I was critically ill back then, Na
Charlie shook his head and said, “Grandma, even if she comes back, I may not bring her to meet you and Grandpa.”Lady Acker asked in confusion, “Why not, Charlie? Are you still holding a grudge against us?”Charlie shook his head slightly and said, “Grandma, my wife… She still doesn't know my true identity.”Everyone present opened their eyes wide in surprise. No one had expected that Charlie's wife of four years did not know his true identity.Lady Acker couldn't help but ask, “Charlie, you have been married to Claire for four years now, so how can she still not know your identity?”Charlie said in a self-deprecating manner, “I had nothing when she married me at first. I was still working as a laborer on a construction site, moving bricks and cement. After we got married, I married into her family. In the eyes of the Wilsons, I was just a person with no education or real skills, who was raised in an orphanage. At that time, I enjoyed the feeling of being ignored and unnoticed, so
