Chapter 760 The Prophecy That Will Surely Come True

Kong noticed the changes in Xu Ning's expression.

For Kong, Xu Ning's attitude towards this matter is very important, after all, he and Liyue, who is backed by him, are both too powerful.

Moreover, in recent years, Liyue has been very assertive in Teyvat, becoming increasingly tougher than the shrewd businessmen of the past. However, they have also won the praise of most people because of their fairness and commitment to keeping their promises.

If the people of Fontaine want to force their own water god to give them an answer, Liyue, as an internal affair, cannot interfere. However, as long as Xu Ning stands here, everyone has to consider Liyue's thoughts. This is the invisible pressure of a great power.

Xu Ning naturally knew that Kong was feeling somewhat uncomfortable.

This fearless and audacious individual, who dared to establish Heavenly Principle as the ultimate boss from the moment he woke up, was willing to consider his own position before acting, which made Xu Ning feel very comfortable.

"Don't overcomplicate things."

Xu Ning smiled and patted Kong on the shoulder, "In terms of both heart and reason, everyone wants to save Fontaine, but the methods of pursuing the result are slightly different. For us two outsiders, there is nothing to argue about."

"Just like the Linni case, you just go and have fun with them, and I'll stay by the water god's side and wait to make a profit. Of course, the old rule is still information sharing. What do you think?"

Kong hesitated slightly, but still nodded emphatically.

After dinner, Xu Ning sat by the window of the vermilion tower inside the cave, drinking wine and watching Ying Langwan count the items below.

"I can tell you're feeling a bit lost again?"

A somewhat familiar female voice gently sounded in my ear.

Xu Ning leaned there without moving, and casually replied, "Confused, extremely confused! Ever since I made my first fortune in Liyue..."

"Shut up, you!"

The voice suddenly held a hint of anger, "If you dare say anything more about handsome looks, I'm leaving right now!"

Xu Ning chuckled and said, "Haven't you always come and go as you please? I can't stop you from coming, and I can't stop you from leaving. But what brings you here today to answer my questions?"

"If it weren't for a request from my friend's apprentice, do you think I would come here to wander around for no reason?"

Entrusted by a friend's apprentice...

Xu Ning suddenly remembered the astrologer she had met a couple of days ago. "Was it at the request of Astrologis Mona Megistus? I didn't expect you to be part of the Witches' Guild. May I ask how I should address you?"

"You can actually pronounce the names of their astrological lineage in their entirety. If a young girl heard you, she would definitely want to be your friend... As for me, just call me N."

Witch N?

Are they simply using letters instead of their real names, unwilling to reveal them? Are they being so cautious because they fear being overheard by some being in this world?

"Then I shall accept your offer. Miss N, since you have come on my behalf, you must already know the whole story. I only have one question: will Fontaine's prophecy necessarily come true?"

Seemingly quite pleased with Xu Ning's title of "Miss N," the witch's voice became lighter.

“Prophecy will definitely come true. Or you could say that you can regard prophecy itself as ‘future history’, where everything has already been written in the book of fate, is bound to happen, and can never be changed.”

Xu Ning lost all interest in drinking. He gently placed the wine jar on the ground and reflected on the various changes he had experienced along the way.

"Does fate predetermine the path to death? Does that mean that all those things I thought I did to change my destiny were actually already written on my fate, and that what I did was nothing more than what was already predetermined?"

Witch N laughed.

"If that's what you think, then you're wrong again. After all, if everything is predetermined, as you say, wouldn't life be too boring?"

Xu Ning asked in confusion, "But you just said that the prophecy is 'future history'..."

Witch N chuckled, "The prophecy I spoke of, or rather, the predetermined future, is merely the future as seen through the eyes of the gods. But in places unseen by Him, could something else be happening and changing..."

"...Even what you see, is it the same as what the gods see?"

Xu Ning suddenly laughed, just like the witch N.

Witch N smiled and said, "It seems you understand now."

Xu Ning nodded, "I see. What the gods see is never wrong, and prophecies will surely come true. But as long as we can guarantee their existence, we can write down all the other details..."

"...If this money gets into my hands, no one will be allowed to say anything against it."

Witch N chuckled, "Do as you please. Now that my doubts have been resolved, I should be going..."

“I have one more question,” Xu Ning hurriedly said, “If someone tells me that he is standing at the end of time looking back at me, does that mean he has already seen my end?”

"Oh? Someone actually... Who told you this?" Witch N asked, seemingly suddenly very interested.

Xu Ning chuckled and said, "I already said it was a hypothetical situation. Well, if I don't know about hypothetical things, then I don't know. It's a pity that I can't properly entertain you since you've come all this way. Well then, I'd like to rest now. Whether you want to continue exploring or leave, please do as you please."

"Heh, quite the slippery one..."

Witch N let out a soft laugh, and then fell silent.

Several days passed in the blink of an eye, and Xu Ning was completely idle.

Since Xu Ning resolved the accusations against the Fools of Fontainebleau a few days ago, Lord Water God has returned to his past happy and monotonous life, spending his days playing with cats and listening to the trial, carefree and without worries.

Clarinde was finally freed from her position as Frynn's bodyguard and did not appear for three consecutive days.

That kid Kong leaves early and returns late every day, I don't know what he's busy with, it's hard to even run into him if you want to exchange information.

Moreover, according to the "white-glove" gentleman I met on the street, even the president of the Rose Society had received some incredible news from a guy who liked to travel, and had been whispering about it with several people for days, without doing anything of the important things she should be doing.

"Looks like my little brother's been hiding something from me. He's been plotting this for so long without even thinking to tell me? Men grow up and leave home..."

Xu Ning stretched lazily in the middle of the street. "I also need to ask our Water God if he knows anything about this. Being kept in the dark all this time is not in line with Fontaine's reputation for fairness and justice."

Xu Ning strolled over to the front of Mo Mang Palace and was about to ask the guard at the gate if the Water God was inside when little Mei Luxin, who was standing at the gate, ran over as soon as she saw him.

"Could you go in and help try to mediate? It seems Lady Funina and Lady Navelette are arguing..."
