"Then let's agree on this..."
"We'll set off in January, heading to the Tang Dynasty. It'll be a good time to travel around, enjoy the scenery along the way..."
After agreeing on the itinerary, Ayao took her leave.
As usual, Shao Siyuan prayed for good fortune for herself before the temple closed at sunset.
She thought that because of her special destiny, this attempt to find a partner would still be fruitless, but the answer she received made her extremely excited!
Has the person destined for me finally appeared?
"Ah Yao, wait!"
Shao Siyuan jumped up from her seat with excitement and called out to Xiao Lu Nu, who had already reached the door.
Faced with A Yao's puzzled look, Shao Siyuan didn't explain much, but smiled broadly.
"Let's go, let's go now, let's set off for the Tang Dynasty immediately!"
"The person destined for me has appeared!"

"Destined one?"
"What do you mean by 'destined person'?"
"Xiao Yuan, what are you saying?"
Seeing Shao Siyuan's excited expression, Ayao's little head started to spin, and she felt that even her usually clever brain wasn't quite up to the task...
Previously, she had never heard Xiao Yuan mention anything about a so-called "destined person".
"If nothing unexpected happens, this person should be very outstanding!"
"You don't need to ask anymore, you'll know when we get to Chang'an..."
Shao Siming smiled mysteriously, giving an irrelevant answer and not returning to A Yao's question.
Everyone knows about Shao Siming's glamorous present, but few know about her painful past.
From birth, she was judged to be "destined to be alone," prophesied to be a lonely star with no ties to her destiny, bringing disaster, and suffering endless scorn.
From then on, she wandered from place to place, and this situation only changed when she joined the Witchcraft Hall and became the Junior Master of Fate.
Although she was judged to be "destined to be apart," Shao Siyuan never believed it. She couldn't believe that in this vast world, with its thousands of miles of mountains and rivers and millions of living beings, there wasn't a single person she was destined to be with.
It was with this strong conviction that Shao Siyuan would pray for a better future before each sunset.
Even though she has gained nothing over the years, she has persisted, day after day, year after year.
Shao Siyuan firmly believes that there must be someone in this world who is destined to be with her, but they just haven't appeared yet.
Therefore, Shao Siyuan was so excited after she had just divined that the person destined for her would appear in Chang'an.
He wanted to set off immediately, taking the little deer girl to Chang'an.
"But……"
"It's already so late, why don't we set off tomorrow?"
Seeing how eager Shao Siyuan was, A Yao couldn't bear to refuse outright. After thinking for a moment, she made a suggestion.
"Can……"
"Go back and pack your things first. I'll come find you tomorrow morning, and we'll head straight to Chang'an!"
Upon hearing this, Shao Siyuan's excited mood gradually calmed down, and she glanced at the sky outside the window.
The sky was ablaze with rosy clouds, the sun was setting, and night was quietly falling.
It's already quite late, and today is definitely not a good time to continue our journey.
You should know that the nights in Yunmengze are extremely terrifying.
Okay…
"Then I'll head back now..."
A smile bloomed on A Yao's pretty face before she turned and left.
"My lord, why are you in such a hurry to go to Chang'an?"
After Ayao left, Xiaohong and Xiaolan peeked out from behind the curtain, asking questions with great curiosity.
The two girls were somewhat puzzled as to why their usually calm, cunning, and mischievous Lord Shao Siyuan would reveal such an expression.
"The secret of heaven cannot be revealed..."
"After I leave, the Siyuan Palace will depend on the two of you..."
Shao Siyuan simply smiled mysteriously and didn't explain anything further.
"what?"
"But sir... Xiao Lan and I don't know how to pray for fate at all!"
Hearing Shao Siyuan's words, Xiao Hong felt like crying but had no tears left.
Before being taken in by Shao Siyuan, the two of them were just charlatans who swindled people; they had no idea how to seek love.
Xiao Lan, standing to the side, nodded her little head eagerly, looking at Shao Siyuan with anticipation, hoping that she could temporarily change her somewhat unrealistic idea.
"Don't you know how to seek a match?"
"You two little girls can look at any of the books in my study!"
Shao Siyuan gave a mischievous smile, appearing quite generous.
After saying that, without giving Xiaohong and Xiaolan much time to react, he turned around and left the hall, heading towards his room in the backyard.
Watching Shao Siyuan's departing figure, the two girls looked at each other, their faces filled with sorrow, feeling utterly lost about the future...
After returning to her room, Shao Siyuan sat in front of the dressing table, staring blankly at her reflection in the bronze mirror.
"My looks... shouldn't be too bad..."
"Someone destined to meet you... will probably like it, right?"
Gazing at the stunningly beautiful face reflected in the bronze mirror, a face that could outshine a hundred flowers, Shao Siyuan murmured to herself, chuckled softly, and grew increasingly excited for her trip to Chang'an.
.....................
That night, Shao Siyuan tossed and turned, unable to sleep.
As dawn broke, Shao Siyuan gave instructions to Xiao Hong and Xiao Lan, and then eagerly arrived at the heart of the Xuanwei Forest, in front of a certain valley.
After entering the valley and walking a thousand steps, Shao Siyuan arrived at a row of exquisite pavilions, which was the place where Guiguzi lived in seclusion.
The mountains are steep, the environment is beautiful, quiet and pleasant, with lush green trees, birds singing and flowers blooming, a riot of colors, just like a fairyland on earth.
The waterfall cascades down, majestic and imposing, with a powerful and awe-inspiring presence.
At the summit of the valley, clouds drift and swirl, a misty aura hangs in the air, and occasionally, the phantom of a divine phoenix appears, accompanied by the roar of a dragon.
The spiritual energy within the valley is much richer than that outside; just one breath is enough to invigorate the spirit and clear the mind.
Shao Siyuan had been to this Peach Blossom Spring countless times and knew the way like the back of her hand.
Upon arriving at A Yao's villa, Shao Siyuan immediately knocked on the door.
"Ah Yao, it's me! Open the door quickly!"
Not long after, the sleepy-eyed little deer girl opened the door, looking quite annoyed.
Ayao looked up at the sky in a daze and was speechless.
"Xiao Yuan, what time is it yet!"
"It's only just getting light, can't you let me sleep a little longer!"
"If you want to sleep, you can go sleep on the spirit boat later..."
"It's time for us to set off!"
Shao Siyuan seemed oblivious to the resentment in A Yao's tone, ignoring it completely.
"Fine, fine, I'm really scared of you, woman..."
"Wait for me a moment, I'll wash up and then we'll head out!"
Helpless, Ayao could only agree.
After washing up and changing his clothes, he embarked on his journey to Chang'an with Shao Siyuan.
Since her master, Guiguzi, wasn't in Peach Blossom Spring, she didn't need to make a special farewell.
"Xiao Yuan, aren't you going to tell me the identity of this so-called destined person?"
"Emmm, actually I don't know his exact identity either..."
All we know is that he's currently in Chang'an...
"what!"
"You don't know either?"
"Then how do we find him when we get there?"
"Sincerity moves mountains; once I see him, I'll be able to confirm his identity!"

The great river basin, the Chu-Han border,
High on a mountaintop, Yu Ji leaned against a large tree, somewhat bored, looking around at the scenery and observing the unique birds and beasts of the great river basin.
After observing for a while, Yu Ji looked at Zhang Liang, who had suddenly opened his eyes, and asked impatiently.
"Senior brother, are you sure this time?"
