--- Chapter 326 ---
Han Xiayue looked around Han Yuan's dorm house with curiosity on her face. She took in every detail before commenting, "There aren't many decorations here, huh?"
Han Yuan smiled faintly in response. "I don't see the appeal of having decorations when I spend most of my time outdoors."
"Most of my cultivation is done outside anyway."
"Is that so?" Han Xiayue tilted her head in amusement. "Then you must be a rare genius, considering how well the academy treats you with this large dorm room."
"Except for the environment, you've got yourself a nice setup compared to most of the Inner Court students."
"Honestly, if I were as talented and strong as you, the academy would treat me the same way. So you deserve it."
"Alas, I am only an ordinary genius," she said with a self-deprecating smile.
Han Yuan shook his head gently. "Talent is something that can bloom with effort, and instinct is something that needs to be polished.
"I won't be a hypocrite who says that hard work will always beat talent, because there are plenty of geniuses who work hard too."
"Sometimes, you need to find a better method to train yourself."
"Discover more about yourself, respect yourself more, and aim to become the best version of yourself."
Han Xiayue's eyes gleamed with excitement as she giggled. "Hehe, you're really good at this, aren't you? Are you perhaps trying to hit on this beautiful senior, Han Yuan?"
"No," Han Yuan replied bluntly. "I'm just stating facts."
Han Xiayue pouted slightly in disappointment. "Ah, that's very disappointing then."
"..." Han Yuan didn't know what to say to that.
They entered the dining room and saw Zi Yan fiddling with dirty dishes, which shocked Han Xiayue because she recognized the little dragon girl as the infamous "Strength Queen" of the Inner Court. Yet here she was, washing dishes!
"Um, I didn't expect to see you here, Strength Queen," Han Xiayue said respectfully. After all, she had witnessed how brutally Zi Yan had defeated a group of Inner Court students.
There is a saying from seniors in the Inner Court.
"Don't underestimate Zi Yan because of her small size. Those small fists pack a serious punch."
"Unless you want to stay on the bed for a while, be respectful to her at all costs!"
Realizing this, Han Xiayue became more obedient and stopped playing around with Han Yuan. She even walked over to the sink to help Zi Yan wash the dishes.
Han Yuan was astonished but shrugged it off. He collapsed onto the couch, sighing in relief that Zi Yan was able to rein in Han Xiayue's boldness.
You might wonder why Han Yuan didn't help. The girls had insisted he sit down.
Leaning back on the couch, Han Yuan stared at the ceiling quietly, as if lost in thought. Then it struck him that he hadn't yet used the Eyes of Truth on Han Xiayue.
As he activated the Eyes of Truth to see Han Xiayue's information—especially her origins—he was taken aback by what he discovered.
"T-This is... You've got to be kidding me..." Han Yuan rubbed his temple, a wry smile curling on his lips.
"Fate really works in mysterious ways, huh?"

[Description: Han Xiayue is the runaway daughter of the Han Family, born as the oldest sibling of the family's head. She not only possesses strong talent but also has a beautiful appearance akin to a moon fairy. However, burdened by familial responsibilities, she longs for independence and a chance to find herself. Plagued by her younger brother's early death, Han Xiayue struggles with her life choices until she meets a young man who seems to fill her brother's role. That day, her fate changed completely!]
[The Han Family, from which Han Xiayue comes, possesses a mysterious past, with truths more shocking than the current members could ever expect...]
[The Han Family is a loyal follower of the late White Mist Emperor, and their lineage originated from the Moonlight Fairy Emperor, a Dou God Expert with fearsome mastery over water and moonlight. Unfortunately, none of the current Han Family members have ever awakened the Moonlight Fairy Emperor's blood, leaving it buried for thousands of years.]
[Interestingly, the Han Family is 'distantly' connected to the Han Clan and many other clans in the Dou QI Continent, which allowed a perished boy named 'Han Yuan' to be possessed by a soul from another world, as if stars were aligned perfectly for this very moment, a fortuitous chance for the declining lineage has awaited all this time.]
[Is it a miracle, or a calculation devised by the predecessors? Only those who aim to reach the ultimate realm would know.]
---
[Moonlight Fairy Emperor (Bloodline)]
[A Dou God Expert from ancient times, the Dao Companion of the White Mist Emperor, and also the devotee who spread his light across many worlds. She's not only the fairy who enlightened the vast world with her presence, but also a force of nature that can bring bloody calamity to those who wish to harm her close ones.]
[The descendant of Moonlight Fairy Emperor, even when their bloodline is unawakened, will possess a beauty like that of a moon fairy, and extreme affinity toward water and moon. And to awaken this special blood, they must meet the destined bloodline inheritor of White Mist Emperor.]
[The closer the descendant of Moonlight Fairy Emperor to the descendant of White Mist Emperor, the faster their bloodline will purify and awaken itself.]
---
[Moonlight Fairy (Race)]
[Moonlight Fairy is an alien race from outside the Dou Qi Plane, known for their talent in divining their own destiny, and the strongest of Moonlight Fairy, Moonlight Fairy Emperor, can bend her own destiny and become a fearsome existence. Unfortunately, the chance of Moonlight Fairy being born is very low, and it was even lower for a hybrid, which was most of her descendants right now, to awaken one's bloodline. Only by finding a heaven-defying, fortuitous chance can one become a Moonlight Fairy!]
---
[Moonlight Fairy's Glazed Body (Physique)]
[An ancient constitution that was born after the Moonlight Fairy bathed under the moonlight for hundreds of years, gaining white jade-like luster, immune to coldness, and nearly all poisons. The longer Moonlight Fairy bathed under the moonlight, the stronger its Glazed Body became and the more powers it unlocked.]
---
[Clear Water Mirrored Moonlight (Talent)]
[A unique state of mind, or should we say heart. Those born with Clear Water Mirrored Moonlight possess a hurdle in their mind and heart, but once they surpass that hurdle, they will experience a huge benefit, and their cultivation will improve rapidly. The inner hurdles vary from person to person, but the more difficult they are, the stronger the reward will be. Moreover, once the owner of Clear Water Mirrored Moonlight completes every hurdle to the point of having no Inner Demons, they will experience a godlike transformation.]
[Note: Clear Water Mirrored Moonlight could evolve]

Han Yuan examined Han Xiayue's status panel with a deep look. She did not expect her to be this talented because once she awakened these powers, she might not necessarily be inferior to Gu Xun'er, who possessed a pure Dou Di's bloodline.
Then, again, Han Yuan also didn't expect Han Xiayue and him to possess such connections. Not only are their families related, albeit indirectly, but as someone who awakened White Mist Emperor's lineage, Han Xiayue's Moonlight Fairy Emperor is like his other half.
'Miracle or calculation?' Han Yuan fell into deep thought, recalling his recent conversation with Venerable Yao.
Venerable Yao shared many of her insights with Han Yuan. However, she also abruptly mentioned that while his fate is very mysterious and can't be sabotaged by others, it doesn't mean others can't calculate it to ride on his coattails.
So, Venerable Yao warned that Han Yuan must be careful when dealing with people in many worlds.
Of course, this wasn't necessarily a bad thing either. In return, those who tried must pay the necessary price for the karma they put on Han Yuan.
"White Mist Emperor..." Han Yuan mumbled thoughtfully.
"I wonder... Just how many chips did you bet on me?"
