Chapter 562: In Worldly Affairs, Fate Accounts for Seven Parts, Reason for Three
Xiao Tao replied, "Because, Master, you forcibly interfered with Jiang Huaiyu’s fate, you were deducted fifty Merit Points."
Mengyu found it even stranger: "Jiang Huaiyu obviously did something wrong, and I punished her for it. Why am I being punished?"
Could it be that Jiang Huaiyu is allowed to do wrong, yet I can’t even punish her?
"Master, that’s the principle, but in this world, there’s also ’fate.’"
"What on earth is this ’fate’?"
"This ’fate’ refers to a person’s destiny. Master, worldly affairs aren’t just about reason prevailing everywhere. There’s also ’fate’ at play.
Moreover, in worldly affairs, ’fate’ accounts for seven parts, while ’reason’ only three.
This ’fate’ has another name—destiny, also known as fate number. Jiang Huaiyu in this life was supposed to attend university, receive honor, and attain wealth.
And her subsequent honor and wealth were to be elevated by attending university, lifting her life’s starting point.
Her destiny was supposed to involve her entering university last year or this year, but, Master, your Spiritual Sense Needle injured her Divine Soul.
It seems she only lost the opportunity to attend university this year, but in reality, opportunities are not always available; losing this year’s chance means she will never have the opportunity to attend university in her lifetime.
And by losing this opportunity to attend university, it also impacts her future destiny, effectively severing her prospects of honor and wealth right from the start."
After hearing Xiao Tao’s explanation, Mengyu then understood that apart from reason, there was also fate in this world.
Moreover, Xiao Tao mentioned that if it were an ordinary person, Mengyu, by interrupting someone’s fate, would be deducted a hundred Merit Points, and even more would be deducted if the person had Merit.
This time she was only deducted fifty Merit Points, rather than a hundred, because of the wrongdoing committed by Jiang Huaiyu herself.
However, although she committed evil deeds in her past life, in this lifetime she has yet to commit those deeds, and what she has done is not enough to justify the heavy punishment of fate-twisting given by Mengyu, hence she was only deducted fifty Merit Points.
After listening to Xiao Tao’s explanation, Mengyu had no regrets, because she felt that if she allowed Jiang Huaiyu to grow, she might become a formidable rival later on.
Although fifty Merit Points were deducted, Mengyu felt it was worth it to cut off her path to rapid success.
Even though she was deducted fifty Merit Points for cutting off her rival’s path to success, Mengyu still felt a sense of exhilaration.
It wasn’t long before Shen Qi came out.
"How did it go?" Both asked simultaneously.
"It was okay!" Both replied at the same time.
The two looked at each other and smiled, then fell silent. Both knew that they were very satisfied with their results.
Afterwards, Wang Huilan came out, followed by Xiao Hua, and finally Wu Jiangsheng and Shuiyu.
As soon as Shuiyu came out, she hugged Jiang Mengyu: "Thank you so much, I definitely wouldn’t have made it without you."
Mengyu comforted her, "Don’t worry, even if you couldn’t get your admission ticket temporarily, as long as you find the class director and prove you are indeed Zhang Shuiyu, you could still take the exam, it would just be a bit troublesome."
"Actually, that invigilator was wrong to just kick you out today." Mengyu frowned slightly.
She felt something was wrong when she heard that the Invigilator wanted to expel Shuiyu immediately. In such situations, shouldn’t they let the student take the exam first and then verify her identity?
She suspected that Invigilator A might have been bribed by Jiang Huaiyu.
Even that student, Zhang Huairen, who advocated for expelling Zhang Shuiyu from the exam hall, might also have been bribed.
