Qiang Shen received one of the biggest surprises he has had in his life. His best friend, almost his brother had fallen in love and was dating someone. His happiness cannot be greater, almost as if he were the one who had confessed because he knew the future that awaited his friend.
Just remembering that Jiang Chen didn't have a relationship in his past life and disappeared overnight, was enough pain for him. He recalled that the reports indicated that his friend had been kidnapped by traffickers. After 3 years of searching, his father told him that the case was closed without knowing where he was, that he had probably been taken abroad. That's why he was happy, he was teaching him magic to change his destiny and little by little he was making it.
--------------------------------------------------------
When Jiang Chen felt his friend's hug, he was completely shocked, he didn't know what to say or do and only until Qiang Shen released him, he saw that his friend had tears falling down his face and when he tried to speak to him, it had been his friend who first spoke and only said one word: "Congratulations."
-------------------------------------------------------
"Congratulations" was what Qiang Shen said to his friend while drying his tears and immediately it was Jiang Chen who began to cry. They say that a man only cries for 3 reasons: When he says goodbye to a loved one, when he feels he has been forgiven and when hope comes after a long period of suffering. For Jiang Chen it is forgiveness and for Qiang Shen it is hope.
Qiang Shen was completely happy, and he explained to his friend, when they were both calmer that he didn't have to feel bad, that what Qiang Shen felt for Yin Shue was more affection towards a friend than a physical attraction, besides he told him that he should know love, since in his previous life he did not remember seeing him with any woman as a girlfriend, lover or wife until the fateful day. Qiang Shen didn't want to tell him that he had disappeared within a period of 2 years from this day, he wanted to change that future, but he didn't want to worry or scare his friend.
After they had finished their talk regarding the confession, Jiang Chen began to ask his friend his doubts and problems with his practice of magic to which Qiang Shen tried to explain what he remembered of the magic he had learned from the experience of the people he had known until the moment when he returned to the past. After they finished their practice, Jiang Chen returned home and Qiang Shen continued to practice his cultivation while his brother was watching television.
At the time when he finished practicing, at that time his mother was now watching the news on television while his brother was preparing to rest.

"... and in other news, Turkey has suffered a double terrorist attack. Today two car bombs exploded in two synagogues in the city of Istanbul, Turkey. So far no terrorist group has claimed the attack and the authorities have confirmed at least twenty deaths and several hundred injured, and the victims are still not exact, as there are more updates, we will continue to report.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
This news went completely unnoticed by the inhabitants of Huaxia, including Qiang Shen himself, however the same did not happen in other parts of the world.
Dublin, Ireland
"What you say is true?" Said a middle-aged man. "It is true, your excellence, our agents in the Middle East have confirmed it to us. One of our sacred relics was found" another younger man replied. At that time the room where these men were was opened and a woman in executive dress arrives almost running. "Sir, problems have arisen!" says and immediately changes the television channel to international news. At that time they were giving the same news of the attack on Turkey.
After the news ends, the woman silenced the television and the young man starts screaming. "Diane, immediately contact our agents in the Middle East and ask them to recover the treasure" he turns to the middle-aged man, "Master, someone attacked the place where the treasure was and took it, forgive my incompetence." That said, the young man kneels.
The middle-aged man showed signs of anger, but he did not lose his mind and said calmly, "Darren, do what is necessary to recover the Dagda Cauldron. We, the Tuatha Dé Danann have waited centuries to recover our sacred treasures and now that one of our relics has been found, it has to come back to us."
The man named Darren gets up and only replies, "Yes, my Lord" and then retires. Then the middle-aged man goes to his desk, turns on his computer and observes that he has a new email from one of his spies in Asia, reads it and deletes it. "It seems that the Chinese are planning something," he says quietly.

Vatican City.
In a meeting in a room in the Basilica of St. Peter, several cardinals were gathered.
"The report of a sacred object that appeared in Turkey and was stolen shows that it is a curved relic and has the power to cure any disease and bring the dead to life, we are almost certain that it is the Holy Grail," said one of the men.
"If it has such a miraculous power then it must be our sacred relic," said another man.
"We must send a team of our warriors to recover them," said a third man.
"Send a team of the Crusades," said a fourth man.
"They were sent to South America to verify if the object located is the Lance of Longinius," said the second man.
"Silence, we will send a group of Knights Templar to recover the Holy Grail," said the man at the head of the group. "This is a test that God has sent us to prove our faith."
The men rose, formed the image of a cross on their chest and withdrew.
