The question from the second prince left Lin Suqing at a loss. What is destiny? He only knew that all the gods spoke of him as a disaster, perhaps this was the fate the heavens had assigned him.
He hesitated for a moment before saying, "What is determined by heaven is destiny."
The second prince, unflappable as always, asked him faintly, "What is heaven?"
Lin Suqing was stunned, what is heaven...
After thinking it over, he met the second prince's gaze and confidently answered, "Heaven is like gods such as yourself. Born divine, sheltering and deciding everything in the Mortal Realm. Even in the world I originally came from, people often prayed to heaven, seeking help and blessings from gods and Buddhas."
As he thought, so he answered truthfully.
"We mortals, from the moment of birth, have our destinies arranged in the unseen depths, and these arrangements are made by gods such as yourself, are they not?"
