Lin Suxin’s breathing quickened as she nervously asked, “You mean to bring those who have gained something to your shop, so that they could look at other paintings and you can give them guidance?”

“Wouldn’t that be too troublesome? I know quite many people. I don’t want to trouble you.”

Ye Xiu was just about to shake his head. He opened a shop to do business. He wasn’t afraid of having too many customers, but he was worried that there would be too few customers. But on second thought, the situation in his bookstore was different. An ink wash painting usually cost with tens of thousands of gold coins. The most important thing was the quality.

The number of customers was important, but the quality still came first.

In addition, his bookstore was in a remote location. It created a style. If he attracted too many customers, it might make some loyal customers feel disgusted, so they wouldn’t come.

Thinking of this, Ye Xiu said, “Then how about this, you bring the person you think is suitable.”

“I trust your judgment. I’m just the owner of a bookstore. I’m only interested in practicing painting. Like other ordinary people, I don’t expect everyone to understand me. I just need a small number of people to understand me.”

Lin Suxin was excited. She hadn’t expected Senior Ye trusted her so much.

If she could become friends with such an expert, what an honor it would be!

“You’re right. This is how things go. It’s hard for everyone to understand. I’ll definitely strictly select the most suitable person.” Suxin replied.

Ye Xiu smiled and nodded his head, but he was secretly muttering to himself.

He couldn’t force customers who did not like his style. Otherwise, what would he do if he tarnished the reputation of the bookstore?

After all, everyone had their own views on art and couldn’t be compatible with others.

If he had a group of customers like Lin Suxin, he wouldn’t have to worry about not being able to make a fortune.

After Lin Suxin finished speaking, she handed the bag in her hand to Ye Xiu, “This is the dog food I got. It’s very beneficial to Xiaobai’s body. It’s just that it’s a bit low-level, but it’s hard to get a better one in a short amount of time.”

A level 6 Golden Hound King was something that could only be found by chance. Moreover, the Magical Beast Forest would prohibit mages from entering for a short period of time.

“It’s okay. This one’s perfect. Thank you.”

Ye Xiu put Xiaobai down and took the dog food to express his gratitude.

The young miss had personally gone to buy the dog food and even delivered it to his door. In her standard, low-level dog food was already a high-end product for ordinary people.

Moreover, Xiaobai was only a dog. It was already good enough to have food. How could he to be picky?

Lin Suxin lowered her head and looked at Xiaobai. A trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. The last time she came, Xiaobai was still a weak stray dog. Now that she looked again, it was already on the threshold of evolving into a magical beast. Just now, it was being carried by Senior Ye so she did not notice it.

If it ate her dog food, it would just be able to evolve. No wonder Senior said it was just right.

But his prediction was a bit frightening. It didn’t seem like a coincidence.

Suddenly, her heart moved, and she couldn’t help but ask, “Senior Ye, did you already calculate what would happen today?”

Ye Xiu was a bit confused.

What did you mean by calculating what would happen today?

Could it be that this young lady was completely convinced by my painting and fell into a frenzy, treating me as a seer?

However, no matter what he said, she probably wouldn’t listen. It would be better to go along with what she meant. Ye Xiu had indeed predicted her visit. After all, he had given her a reward. This young lady didn’t seem like someone who would take something and run away.

If she didn’t come today, she would definitely come in a few days.

As a result, he shook his head slightly and told the truth, “I was prepared. If you didn’t come today, you will definitely come in a few days. It’s just that you came earlier than I expected.”

“Prepared…” When Lin Suxin heard Senior Ye’s words, she couldn’t help but fall into deep thought.

Sure enough, Senior Ye had already anticipated everything that had happened in the Magical Beast Forest. He had even predicted that she would come back today. Otherwise, why would she be at the door with Xiaobai in her arms?

At this moment, as she thought about it carefully, she also noticed some clues.

For example, Senior Ye had used the reason of buying dog food to give her the painting, and he had specially instructed her to bring it along with her friends when they went out. Just this sentence had saved all the teachers and students in the Magical Beast Forest at that time.

That painting had pulled the level eight magical beast, the Blue-eyed Spider, back from its berserk state.

Ye Xiu had destroyed the scheme of the Abyss and the black mage, and everybody was not aware of it.

Without that painting to reverse the time, everyone would have died.

She had returned from the Magic Beast Forest. After asking around and making dog food, she was not sure when exactly she would come to the bookstore. However, Senior had just predicted it.

Could it be that the words she had just given her had some sort of foreboding?

With so many coincidences, how could she not have guessed it?

Just from the ink wash painting alone, if it was just to let her comprehend the law of time, it only needed the most superficial effect.

However, it contained the power of the law of time. With her current cultivation level, she was unable to activate it. It just activated itself at the critical moment when the Blue-eyed Spider went berserk. This was enough to explain some problems.

Senior Ye must have already calculated everything!

It seemed to be an unintentional act, but every step was calculated, and there were no mistakes.

What kind of terrifying ability was this?

Lin Suxin had long heard of some legends about legendary mages.

Those legendary mages used the body of a mortal to grasp the fate. They could see through the events five hundred years in the future and the past. The past and future were basically in their hands. Even if they could not see the details clearly, they could still see the general trend.

And Senior Ye’s arrangement this time also made her suddenly feel that perhaps the legend was real.

The more she thought about it, the more she felt how terrifying this Senior Ye was. There was no trace of his arrangement, and he walked normally like an ordinary person. No wonder he could become a chess player standing in the clouds.

With such magnificent power, he still chose to open a bookstore in the human world, what was his intention?

Maybe from Senior’s point of view, she was just a chess piece.

“What’s wrong?”

Ye Xiu saw that Lin Suxin was silent and seemed to have a lot on her mind, so he couldn’t help but ask in confusion.

Lin Suxin came back to her senses and quickly collected her thoughts. She said in a low voice, “I was just thinking about where I should go in the future and how I should control my own fate. For a moment, I was a bit lost in thought.”

Ye Xiu was speechless.

He had just been speaking the truth, but it had caused her to think about it. It had even reached the level of fate?

The fans of these ancient cultures all seemed to have different hobbies from ordinary people. They liked to think about these philosophical questions that wasted time. It wasn’t practical at all.

However, she was still a guest, so he still had to cooperate. They couldn’t embarrass the other side. Next time, his business would be better.

“Fate is made up of all living things in the world. The world is like a chessboard, and all living things are like chess pieces. The river of time flows through, forming fate. Every chess piece has an equal status, but when and where a chess piece appears determines its value.”

“The higher the value of a chess piece, the greater the rewards that can be obtained from fate. However, on the chessboard, there are winners and losers. If there are no winners and losers, then there’s no way to survive.”

Ye Xiu smiled and shook his head. He looked at Lin Suxin and tried his best to put on an indifferent yet disappointed expression.

The expression on his face coupled with this seemingly deep and reasonable nonsense.

It should be able to intimidate this girl from the Department of Ancient Culture and Philosophy, right?

Lin Suxin looked at Ye Xiu and her heart trembled.

Did he see through her thoughts and use these words to remind her?

As expected, Senior Ye was really planning something. He was collecting gold coins from the mortal world and giving away paintings to the mages to set up his ‘chess game’.

As for her, if she wanted to survive in this dangerous chess game, she had to let Senior Ye win this game.

Her performance in the Magical Beast Forest showed her value, and she also obtained the opportunity to comprehend the law of time. This was the reward that Senior said she would get from fate.

The world was like a chess game. Although Senior Ye was a chess player, wasn’t he also struggling under the ‘fate’?

For a time, she somewhat understood the emotions in Senior Ye’s eyes..
