Zhao Changhe didn't mind being tricked; instead, he couldn't help snickering at the blind man's human-like reaction: "Blindy..."

"What is it?"

"You've become cute."

"Get lost!"

"Are you trying to say you were already cute?"

The blind man was speechlessly annoyed: "Cut the cheesy crap. Just spit it out."

Zhao Changhe quickly changed the subject: "Speaking of which, how did you make it happen? Even if there was Sisi instructing someone to retrieve the Cultivation Technique for me, how did you make this girl appear right in front of me at the moment I touched the wrong spot without intentionally controlling her?"

"I didn't control her, but I did tweak the thread of cause and effect a little," the blind man said with a smile: "You should understand this principle: the same cause can yield different effects. For instance, from this cause, it could result in nothing happening, it could cause her to accidentally step into a hole and twist her ankle on her way here, or it could even result in her falling right on top of you while twisting her ankle, adding another admirer to your life."

"That's good."

"...Before anything has happened, under one cause, countless hypothetical lines spread out. If you have the power, you can choose one of these paths; everything seems logical on the surface, and nobody would know someone has tampered with your fate."

Zhao Changhe fell silent, and the blind man knew what he was silent about. He slightly smiled but did not say more.

Of course, Zhao Changhe had tampered with parts of his fate; he had felt and suspected it before, no need to hide it. However, the blind man felt a bit helpless inside because most of them had nothing to do with her.

She actually interfered very little; otherwise, she wouldn't have let certain things happen. She had even tried to stop San Niang from being with him and took some actions, but the outcome stubbornly moved toward them ending up together, which was outrageous. In short, cases where interference was successful were extremely rare. If Zhao Changhe were to think that everything was arranged by him, that would indeed be hard to explain.

As a result, Zhao Changhe said something that quite surprised the blind man, not about his own feelings of being manipulated, but he asked, "Then Blindy, can you see your own threads?"

The blind man paused, then stared up at the Heavenly Vault as if pondering something, and after a long time, he said, "Every type of cultivation has its levels. Perhaps if you cultivate to the highest level, you can freely control your own cause and effect, but as for now, I can't... just like how I can't ensure success in manipulating others' fate."

His words carried a sense of self-defense, not knowing whether Zhao Changhe understood... He was taking a sharp intake of breath, seemingly amazed that even the blind man had not reached the highest level.

The blind man suddenly gave a charming smile: "Are you trying to say, if I can't, that's good, meaning I'm not that remarkable?"

"I don't even know if you saying 'I can't' is true or false." Zhao Changhe chuckled: "I just feel that, indeed, cultivation is boundless... Even you haven't reached the pinnacle, how long is this road, and how hard it is for me to grasp my own destiny..."

"What's so strange about me not reaching the top?" the blind man said lazily: "I told you, I'm not the Heavenly Dao... Even though Heavenly Dao is dead, it's not something I can match. On the other hand, the fact that even Heavenly Dao can die does confirm what you say about endless cultivation, with higher and farther levels beyond sight."

Zhao Changhe nodded, then suddenly said: "If what you say is true, and you also can't control your own destiny, it shows that individual power is limited... Maybe one day, I might be able to help you?"

"Save that line for your women; keep it to yourself when you're with me," the blind man retorted as he walked away, his smile gone: "Practice your Cultivation Technique. Stop prodding around at such a childish level every day, only making yourself a laughingstock."
