Hui Neng was just about to go to sleep when he received a call from Huo Tianci.
"Brother, what’s the matter?" Hui Neng asked ingratiatingly.
"Go check the rear annexe again. I just did some divination; there will be a fire tonight," Huo Tianci said in a grave tone.
Hearing this, Hui Neng quickly replied, "How could that be? I just got back, and I didn’t see any fire."
"Check again, just to be on the safe side!" said Huo Tianci.
"All right, I’ll go right now."
After hanging up the phone, Hui Neng reluctantly put on his shoes and got out of bed.
In this pitch-dark night, wouldn’t he notice if a fire broke out?
Brother can be so strange.
Too mysterious, isn’t it?
Well, standing at the door and taking a quick look should prove it.
However, what Hui Neng did not expect was that upon stepping outside, he saw Huo Tianci’s room, in the direction where it was located, bathed in a deep red from the darkness.
For a moment, Hui Neng’s flashlight dropped to the ground with a clatter before going dark.
The next moment, he shouted loudly, "Someone come quick! Fire!"
Roused by Hui Neng’s shouts, the other apprentice Taoists in the temple woke up and scrambled out the door.
Seeing the true flames, the apprentice Taoists hurriedly ran over, shouting, "Quick, put it out!"
Meanwhile, Heavenly Venerate Huo hearing their shouts, said to Diao Ling, "Since they’ve found the fire, there’s no need to wake them further. Let’s go!"
Although the fire in the rear annexe didn’t pose a threat to the sleeping Taoists’ safety, an accident could still happen if it became windy at night.
The fire had to be put out.
He had intended to warn the sleeping Taoists, but since they had already arrived, there was no need.
Hearing Heavenly Venerate Huo’s words, Diao Ling briskly nodded and then quickly flew away with Heavenly Venerate Huo from the Taoist temple.
He couldn’t help but think to himself: I wonder why the boss chose to do this tonight.
After returning, Heavenly Venerate Huo promptly called Qianxun to explain the situation.
Hearing this, Qianxun sneered, "So, the records say that Mo Tianji was infatuated with me, but since he couldn’t fulfill his love, he chose to turn against me?"
Such kind of love, even if she, Qianxun, had nine lives, she couldn’t bear it!
This did clarify why Mo Tianji chose not to kill her in the past but instead sealed her away.
Seeing Qianxun’s cold expression, Heavenly Venerate Huo said softly, "Baby, don’t be angry; that’s all in the past now. He couldn’t come between us in the past life; neither will he be able to in this lifetime!"
Moreover, he would never give Mo Tianji any chance to get close to his baby.
Hearing Heavenly Venerate Huo’s words, Qianxun’s expression softened, then with a bit of scorn, she said, "You’re right, but now, I understand why Huo Tianci has the same face you had in your past life."
Mo Tianji must have thought that by changing into Yanzhi’s appearance from his past life, she might accept him, thinking him as Yanzhi reborn, and choose to be with him.
Moreover, she had indeed praised Yanzhi more than once in the past for being handsome.
Regrettably, Mo Tianji overlooked one thing.
In matters of the heart, she valued feeling over appearance far more.
Even if Huo Tianci now shared the same face as Yanzhi from a past life, when she saw him, she still felt nothing familiar!
She knew that after reincarnation, a person’s character might shift completely, but love was such a mysterious thing: even if memories and personalities changed, upon meeting the right person, she’d still be irresistibly drawn to them!
Yanzhi’s current personality isn’t much like his past life, yet even so, she still loved him.
