The granddaughter was already cured.

The old alchemist laughed happily.

"A young man came through yesterday. Blond hair. Golden eyes. Remarkable medical technique. He refused payment. So I gave him my Nine Revolutions Pill Art!"

Yun Wanhe’s face went blank.

"...You what?"

The old man smiled.

"Wonderful young man."

Yun Wanhe nearly collapsed.

[Ding!]

[Destined Relationship stolen.]

[Ancient Pill Art acquired.]

[3,000 Fate stolen.]

[Yun Wanhe Fate Value: 57,000]

. . .

A hidden auction.

Yun Wanhe knew one seemingly worthless stone contained a sealed spiritual flame.

He entered confidently.

Waited.

The stone appeared.

He raised his hand.

"One thousand Spirit Coins."

Another voice came from above.

"Ten thousand."

Yun Wanhe froze.

He looked up.

VIP room.

Shen Tian sat there.

Smiling.

Yun Wanhe’s eye twitched.

"Twenty thousand!"

Shen Tian lifted a finger.

"One hundred thousand."

The crowd gasped.

Yun Wanhe’s face turned red.

"Two hundred thousand!"

Shen Tian looked at Xu Ning.

"How much money do we have?"

[After selling two useless artifacts you found?]

She checked.

[Approximately twelve million Spirit Coins.]

Shen Tian smiled.

"One million."

The auction house erupted.

Yun Wanhe stared.

He didn’t have one million.

The hammer fell.

"Sold!"

Shen Tian waved from the balcony.

Yun Wanhe nearly vomited blood.

Later...

Shen Tian cracked the stone open.

Blue flame exploded.

[Ding!]

[Heavenly Ghost Flame acquired.]

[14,500 Fate stolen.]

[Yun Wanhe Fate Value: 42,500.]

And it continued.

Again.

And again.

And again.

A hidden spring Yun Wanhe remembered?

Shen Tian arrived first.

A beast egg hidden beneath a ruined sect?

Shen Tian took it.

A secret library opening once every hundred years?

Shen Tian entered before him.

An ancient jade pendant connected to an inheritance?

Gone.

A legendary body-refining pool?

Shen Tian was literally sitting inside it when Yun Wanhe arrived.

Yun Wanhe stood at the entrance.

His entire body trembled.

Shen Tian opened one eye.

"Oh. You’re here."

Yun Wanhe’s face twisted.

"GET OUT!"

Shen Tian looked around.

"But I’m not finished."

"THAT WAS MINE!"

Shen Tian raised an eyebrow.

"Your name on it?"

"..."

"No?"

Shen Tian closed his eyes again.

"Then wait your turn."

Yun Wanhe screamed.

The Fate notifications continued.

[38,000.]

[34,500.]

[31,000.]

[27,500.]

Every theft weakened the invisible protection surrounding Yun Wanhe.

Every stolen opportunity made the world treat him less like its chosen son.

His luck began changing.

Treasure maps failed.

Enemies encountered him earlier.

People who once would have helped him no longer cared.

Old relationships stopped aligning.

Even Mo Tianxue noticed.

[Something is wrong.]

Yun Wanhe stared toward the distance.

"I know what’s wrong."

His eyes became bloodshot.

"Shen Tian."

Eventually...

Only one major Fate event remained.

Xu Ning stared at the system display.

[Host.]

Shen Tian looked over.

"What?"

[This one is different.]

A new window appeared.

---------------

[Major Destiny Event Detected]

[Location: Celestial Phoenix City]]

[Relationship to Yun Wanhe: Former Lover / Former Best Friend]

---------------

Shen Tian became quiet.

Xu Ning continued.

[These are the two people who betrayed him in his previous life.]

Shen Tian’s expression changed.

"Oh."

[Their betrayal directly led to his death.]

Shen Tian folded his arms.

"So this is the big emotional event."

[Yes.]

[If Yun Wanhe confronts them and resolves the betrayal according to his original Fate path...]

[His Fate may stabilize.]

Shen Tian’s eyes narrowed.

"How?"

[He was originally destined to reveal his identity.]

[Expose them.]

[Defeat them.]

[Then reclaim a hidden treasury tied to their betrayal.]

"How much Fate?"

Xu Ning checked.

[Potentially fifteen thousand.]

Shen Tian whistled.

"That’s basically everything left."

[Almost.]

"Then let’s go."

. . .

Celestial Phoenix City...

Was enormous.

Golden walls stretched for miles.

Flying ships moved overhead.

Cultivators filled the streets.

At the center stood a Family estate.

Yun Wanhe stood outside.

His entire body had become still.

He could sense them.

Two familiar auras.

His breathing changed.

Mo Tianxue spoke.

[You know these people.]

"...Yes."

[Hatred.]

"Yes."

[Deep hatred.]

Yun Wanhe’s eyes darkened.

"My lover."

He looked toward the estate.

"And my best friend."

His voice became colder.

"They killed me."

Black Qi began gathering around him.

Mo Tianxue smiled.

[Then kill them.]

Yun Wanhe walked through the gates.

Guards attempted to stop him.

He sent them flying.

The doors to the central hall exploded.

Inside...

A man and woman turned.

The ex lover

Beautiful.

Graceful.

White robes.

Beside her...

The ex best friend.

Tall.

Refined.

Sword at his waist.

Both looked confused.

"Who are you?"

The question hurt more than Yun Wanhe expected.

They didn’t recognize him.

Of course they didn’t.

This was before the betrayal.

Before they had even met the previous version of him.

But Yun Wanhe remembered everything.

His ex lover’s smile.

His ex best friend calling him brother.

The attack.

The blood.

Their laughter.

Yun Wanhe’s eyes turned crimson.

"You..."

The ex lover stepped back.

"Do we know you?"

Yun Wanhe laughed.

It sounded broken.

"You will."

The ex best friend drew his sword.

"Leave."

Yun Wanhe attacked.

Shen Tian arrived at that exact moment.

He appeared between them.

Caught Yun Wanhe’s fist.

The hall exploded with pressure.

Yun Wanhe’s eyes widened.

"You."

Shen Tian looked at him.

"Yep. Move."

"No."

"They deserve this."

Shen Tian glanced toward the ex lover and ex best friend.

Then back.

"In your last life?"

"They killed me."

"Have they done it yet?"

Yun Wanhe froze.

Shen Tian continued.

"No."

"They will!"

"Maybe."

Shen Tian was rage baiting...

"They WILL!"

Black Qi surged.

Shen Tian’s Domain expanded.

The pressure crushed Yun Wanhe’s aura.

"That doesn’t mean you get to kill them before they do anything."

Yun Wanhe’s face twisted.

"You don’t understand!"

Shen Tian’s expression hardened.

"I understand better than you think."

He leaned closer.

"You hate them because they betrayed you."

"Yes!"

"You hate cheaters."

"YES!"

Shen Tian nodded.

"Honestly? I do too."

Yun Wanhe blinked.

Even Xu Ning paused.

Shen Tian looked toward ex lover and ex best friend.

"These kinds of characters annoy me."

The ex lover stared.

"...What?"

The ex best friend frowned.

Shen Tian sighed.
