Chapter 2301

"What?!"

As soon as Sophie heard her grandfather asking her to stop looking for her benefactor, she could not understand his intentions. So, she asked incomprehensively, "Why, Grandpa?"

Jefferson replied vaguely, “It will not be good for you t o continue looking for him. So, it will be better for you t o just forget about it.” 3

Sophie frowned, and she was very persistent as she said, "Grandpa, the person that I am looking for is me and my brother's benefactor! He saved our lives! So, no matter what it is. I will continue looking for him. I will not give up even if I can't find him!"

Jefferson was a little anxious as he solemnly replied, "I t is not about whether you are going to find him or not! This is something related to your own safety in the future!" 3

Sophie was unconvinced, and she asked, "My future safety? What has this got to do with my future safety?" 1

Jefferson replied seriously, "Old Master Lennard said that your fate is in direct conflict with his fate.

Moreover, his fate is much higher and harder compared to yours. So, it will be fine if you do not look

for him. As soon as you find him, it will be like a moth that is attracted to the flames. and you will be the one getting hurt in the end!"

Sophie immediately retorted, "Grandpa, I do not have any intention to go against you directly. However, I feel that what Old Master Lennard is saying is all pure nonsense!”

As she spoke, Sophie continued speaking without hesitation, "My benefactor saved my life. If what Old Master Lennard said is true, and ifI ama moth and he is the raging flames, why didn't I get burned to death, then? Why did he save my life instead? I think that Old Master Lennard is simply saying things recklessly and irresponsibly!

Jefferson sighed before he said, "Sigh. How can you change something like fate? He indeed saved your life before this. However, that is already in the past! Old Master Lennard has already counted your fate for you, and he is seeing the future!" 3

Sophie did not hesitate as she retorted, "I dom care about what is going to happen in the future. I only know thathe saved my life. I want.to find him'so that I can personally = thankhim face to face. Itis asu' simple as that! It does not matter even if our fates will clash directly with each other! Worse comes to worst, I can just return this life to him, then!" 4

Jefferson reprimanded her as he said, "Sophie! Don't talk nonsense here! What Old Master Lennard said is not a joke. You have to listen to his advice!" 3

Sophie shook her head before she said, "These are all pseudo-scientific feudal superstitions! I will not heed his advice!"

Helen had a serious expression on her face as she-said, "Sophie, divination afd fortune-telling are a form of supreme wisdom that ours ancestars have left behind for us: sit is by nd means any form of feudal superstition. Furthermore, Qld Master Lennard is the most famous Feng Shui master in the World! You should be in awe of him!”

As she spoke, Helen said solemnly, “In my opinion, it would be best for you to stop looking for him anymore. You should stop right now!"

Sophie felt even more anxious at this time, and her eyes flushed red as she said, "Mom! Why do you believe in these kinds of things, too? You graduated from a prestigious university! No matter what it is, you should believe in science!" 4

Helen asked seriously, "Sophie, how can you be so certain that divination and fortune-telling are not science, then?”

Sophie blurted out, "It is all just a bunch of feudal superstitions! What kind of sciente is there? If there is N indeed ac basis I in this matter, thens why cantt he tell me where I ‘can find my bériefactor directly, then? 2 Why would he tell me that our fates are directly clashing with eachother? I will not believe in such things!" 7

Helen solemnly replied, “Divination and fortunetelling are a set of philosophies and study that the ancients derived after years of observation, studies, summarizing the universe, the stars, and all things ini t. It can even be considered as science!" 5

"Have you ever considered why or how the Mayans could accurately calculate every solar eclipse that would occur in the 21st century more than three thousand years ago?" 3
