I cannot deny, I was a bit downcast for failing to deceive Tian Rujing into revealing what I wanted to know: he was already on alert, and it would become increasingly difficult to fool him in the future. However, to say that I felt devastated would be far from the truth.
Unlike Tian Rujing, who blindly believed in the "Heavenly Book," being a transmigrator, I scrutinized and critically examined my own situation and this world. I was well aware of the path I was on, and I understood clearly that it was not fate, but simply established history.
Even though my own experiences were bizarre, I had no intention of letting so-called destiny control me.
It's still early; nothing has happened yet. Why would I despair over things that have yet to occur?
How absurd.
