Chapter 865 Derailed Past - III

Tina Roxley opened her lips as she started to explain to Aurelius's question, "At first, we did meet in the Roxley Auction House. Sapphire eyes, blonde hair, and masked. There weren't many people who fit this appearance, so I was able to identify him. As I have seen before, I gave him the invitation to the underground auction and monitored him."

"However, it didn't seem like he needed help, causing me to become disappointed. It made me think that it wasn't him, but I still kept an eye on him. Surprisingly, my family sent assassins to deal with him, and I only learned about it later that it was from a low-level member. I interfered and put a stop to it, helping him, but he never came to meet to or even thank me."

"At this point, I was ninety percent sure that the young masked man in my future wasn't him. He didn't even seem to be with the purple-haired woman we saw in the projection, but he was with a black-haired woman whom he took away from the underground auction house."

"Initially, I was disgusted that he took advantage of an enslaved woman, but when the woman came out to procure supplies for what seemed to be like alchemy, I watched her happily humming as if she was content with her life. In any case, a year passed without almost nothing occurring, and I pretty much gave up that he was the one in my future."

"Surprisingly, the second time we met wasn't in the alleyway, but in the Thousand Pill Association. It was the time when I took the exam for becoming a Low-Level Earth Grade Alchemist."

"Hmph!" Brandis Mercer suddenly interrupted, "You already possessed the prowess to concoct Peak-Level Earth Grade Pills at that time with your Essence Gathering Cultivation, but you wanted to be low-key and concoct pills with your soul force that reached the Young Soul Stage."

"I didn't want attention to myself... Master..." Tina Roxley wryly replied, making Brandis Mercer sigh.

If Tina Roxley was shining and showcasing her talent in alchemy, it was possible that her tainted father would realize that his daughter Tina Roxley was no longer in her grasp and target her younger sister, Rina Roxley. He could understand her plight, but he was useless as well. Being blindsided by the heavens in the past by the form of tribulation clouds, he was afraid to interfere in her fate and only put minimal effort into protecting his disciple.

What could he do? He was a human as well, but after Tina Roxley poisoned her father and murdered him, he became emboldened enough to protect his disciple! Looking at her actions, it could be said that he no longer gave a crap about the consequences and fully supported her!

Tina Roxley continued, "In any case, I was surprised and confused to meet him in the Thousand Pill Association. The fact that he was also an alchemist confused me since we've never seen him in the alchemist garb before in the divination. I felt all of those pointed out that the young man wasn't him, but it all changed when I asked Elder Seylas to scan him with his soul sense."

"What? You did such a thing?" Brandis Mercer became astonished.

He suddenly remembered that his disciple wasn't this rude.

"I was at my wit's end..." Tina Roxley replied with a complicated expression on her face.

Brandis Mercer could only purse his lips in silence and shame. She had never said anything to him about her worries. He guessed that she had already seen through him in the past, where he was once afraid of the consequences of interfering in her fate.

"That masked man was truly the young man I was looking for, but..." Tina Roxley wryly giggled, "Other than the first time we met, nothing appeared to go as we saw in the divination."

"I would like to ask. What is the meaning of this, uncle master?"

Tina Roxley, who had bottled up her emotions for so many years, was unable to keep it suppressed anymore!

"I'm not sure either." Aurelius shook his head, "It is the first time I'm encountering a situation such as yours. I don't understand how it can be like this. Even if you know that your future would turn out to be like this, and even if you try to stop it, although the events might differ, the end result would be the same!"

"But something like that didn't happen!" Tina Roxley screamed as her eyes became moist, "That young man didn't even seem to be fated to me!"

Brandis Mercer and Aurelius became stunned at her outburst. It could be seen that the divination greatly impacted her psyche or... It was the disappointment that the young man didn't come to meet her.

Brandis Mercer sighed. He had investigated Aurelius and confirmed that he was an official Mystic Diviner. Aurelius had even helped the Tripartite Alliance deal with a certain matter. So, Brandis Mercer didn't doubt Aurelius's integrity as a Mystic Diviner.

Instead, he sighed for his disciple, his newly adopted daughter. Perhaps, the moment she witnessed the divination in the past, the seed of love had already been planted in her heart. It had sprouted by the time she met that blonde-haired man, but her feelings became like this in the end, unable to be reciprocated.

Nothing went as displayed by the divination.

In the end, Tina Roxley got to save her younger sister and safely exit the Roxley Family with Brandis Mercer and Aurelius's help. It all went well in her books except for the young man who seemed to have disappeared into thin air.

Tina Roxley, being unable to forget him or forgive herself for killing her own father, left a letter with Elder Seylas. Brandis Mercer didn't know what she wrote and didn't look into it either. Looking at her current expression, he mused that she sealed all her feelings within her heart, at least until now.

Tina Roxley shed tears, unable to squeeze this feeling out of her heart. Ever since she knew that there was man fated to her, she never stopped thinking about him. When she saw his sapphire eyes in the auction house, it looked so pure when compared to her father's, and it made her heart throb slightly due to the expectation she held.

Although he said something stupid initially and kept staring at her back for some time, it only served to increase her satisfaction, making her think that he was interested in her as well.

She hoped that it would be him, but she became increasingly disappointed, only to have her thoughts overturned when she has Elder Seylas uncovered his identity. Alchemist Scythe turned out to be the young man she was fated with as he possessed a great similarity with the person she saw in the divination, and she boldly asked him out for a walk.

Once she confirmed his appearance with Elder Seylas, she was glad and thought of pursuing him by her own will, but she became afraid, deeply afraid since the events started to occur more or less according to the divination. She didn't want to lose her younger sister, Rina Roxley, so she continuously monitored her father, but that instead caused her father to be unbridled towards her, leading her to poison him and finally kill him.

She had killed her father and had been saved by her master and master uncle from the Roxley Family's wrath, but so what?

Alchemist Scythe was no longer present in the capital by that time!
