**Chapter 289: Fate is Destined**

**Chapter 289: Fate is Destined**

For a four-year-old girl, nothing is more important than the safety of her parents. At this moment, Bai Chenxiang has no time to think about the complexity of the situation; all she wants to do is tell her grandfather that her parents might die. But for some reason, she can't bring herself to say those words.

This causes her immense anxiety. What is going on? Why can't she speak?

She could ask the Master herself, but what if she couldn't find out the answer even if she tried?

Bai Chenxiang felt so depressed she wanted to vomit blood. Even her expression reflected her despondency.

Bai He, noticing her distress, grew curious about what was troubling his precious granddaughter. Could it be that she wanted the Master to hold her but was unable to express it? Was she disappointed because of that?

With concern, Bai He carefully observed her and tentatively asked, "Xiangxiang, what do you think of the Master? Do you like him?"

Bai He didn't ask this because he believed his four-year-old granddaughter was in love. He simply thought the Master was extremely handsome and amiable. Despite being the strongest person on the entire Douluo Continent and known as the number one individual under the gods, he was not arrogant. His kindness towards his old friends seemed to make it normal for Bai Chenxiang to like him.

Upon hearing her grandfather's question, Bai Chenxiang instantly forgot about her parents and nodded without hesitation.

"The Master is super, super handsome! Of course, Xiangxiang likes the Master. When Xiangxiang grows up, she'll definitely marry the Master and be his bride."

Bai He was left speechless. What was going on with this granddaughter of his? He had simply asked whether she liked the Master; he hadn't asked her if she wanted to marry him.

The Master was older than her father, yet she said she wanted to marry him?

Moreover, Bai He wondered if the Master, who was far older than Xiangxiang, would even be interested in marrying her. Though the Master might be a little lascivious, he still had his limits. It was hard for Bai He to imagine that he would marry a little girl just because she wanted him to.

"Xiangxiang, you're still so young. Is this really the right time for you to be thinking about marriage?" Bai He thought to himself, somewhat concerned.

The scene shifts to the Yuexuan branch of Lanba Academy. Tang Yuehua, who is teaching her students etiquette, notices the "Copy of Zhao Ling's Diary," and her eyes light up.

The diary has been updated again—who will be the subject today? She's eager to find out.

She tells her students, "Practice the movements I've taught you. I'll be back soon," before heading out.

Her group of elegant, tall female students nods and begins practicing.

Tang Yuehua walks straight to the door, opens the diary, and the voice of her husband rings in her ears. She smiles as she listens to his magnetic voice, then opens her eyes to read today's entry word by word.

As she reads, her brows furrow slightly. The diary mentions that her uncle's son and daughter-in-law are supposed to have died, but the cause of their death is unclear. This perplexes her.

Her husband doesn't even know the exact cause of death, making it difficult to predict where and when it will happen.

If the fatal disaster was due to the conflict between the Spirit Hall and the Haotian Sect, it may have already passed. However, if the disaster occurred elsewhere, overcoming it could be much harder.

Tang Yuehua is deeply concerned, especially given that little Chenxiang is only four years old. She may one day have to depend on her grandfather if her parents die early.

Feeling distressed, Tang Yuehua believes that as her cousin, she should take good care of the child. After all, Chenxiang is her uncle's only granddaughter.

When Zhao Ling's other girlfriends see that the diary doesn't involve them, they glance through it and go about their business.

Later that evening, in the seventh dormitory of Notting Junior Soul Master Academy, Tang San gazes at the bed where Xiao Wu used to sleep in his previous life. A strange little fat boy now occupies the bed, leaving Tang San uneasy.

The fat boy looks at Tang San and says, "Boss, why are you staring at me? I feel uneasy."

The rules in Dormitory 7 are the same as in Tang San's previous life. On his first day there, Wang Sheng had challenged him, and whoever won would become the boss. Wang Sheng had already defeated the other students, so Tang San would automatically become the boss once he defeated Wang Sheng.

In his previous life, Tang San hadn't liked the spotlight, but he knew that after he defeated Wang Sheng, Xiao Wu would appear, defeat him, and become the new boss.

However, after easily defeating Wang Sheng, Xiao Wu never came. This confused Tang San. What had happened? Why was she missing? Why didn't things follow the trajectory of his previous life?

Now, he often sees the strange little fat boy lying on Xiao Wu's bed, which is difficult for him to accept.

"Go away. I'm not looking at you. Stop being so sentimental," Tang San mutters to himself, irritated.

He wonders if the little fat boy has taken up Xiao Wu's student quota, preventing her from coming to Notting Junior Soul Master Academy. It's a possibility, but Tang San decides against acting rashly.

Later, he asks his teacher, Yu Xiaogang, to investigate whether a girl named Xiao Wu has registered at the academy. Yu Xiaogang returns with the information that no such girl has registered, leaving Tang San even more confused. Why hasn't Xiao Wu come to the academy?

This situation is completely different from his previous life, and Tang San feels a deep sense of discomfort. He worries about where Xiao Wu and his daughter are, as they have traveled back in time.

At Notting College, where Xiao Wu was most likely to be, there is no trace of her.

Tang San doesn't know what to do. Where and when will he meet his wife and daughter? His heart is heavy with worry.

Yu Xiaogang often tries to console him, telling him not to fret. If his and Xiao Wu's fate is destined, they will meet again sooner or later.

Tang San secretly feels comforted by Yu Xiaogang's words. Their bond is unshakable, and perhaps something has delayed Xiao Wu's arrival at the academy. He believes they will eventually be together at Shrek Academy in five years.
