Lin Suqing pondered for a moment before saying, "You mean to say that destiny cannot be defied."
"No," Dogzi countered firmly, then continued, "It's that destiny cannot be altered."
"Cannot be altered?"
"Yes." Dogzi closed his eyes prudently and nodded solemnly, then suddenly he opened them and stared intently at Lin Suqing, "For example, your very existence is the evidence that—destiny cannot be altered."
"Me?"
"Yes."
Lin Suqing speculated, "You mean to say... to prevent my appearance, there have been... efforts by some to resist destiny."
"That's right, not just one, but many, resisting together," Dogzi declared seriously.
"I think I understand." Lin Suqing suddenly felt very tired. He leaned to the side, resting against the bed, no longer sitting cross-legged but casually bending his legs.
