Heiress Unmasked: Shaking the World With Geomancy novel Chapter 1294

A strange thought flashed through Shannon's mind, and she couldn't help but carefully sense it again. At last, she confirmed that her sensation was right.

Although the mark had faded greatly, the energy lingering on it was undoubtedly Zidane's.

She frowned. It wasn't surprising that he knew to use mystic arts to conceal a soul's energy. Although she had never seen him in action, he had handled various spiritual instruments.

His abilities were undoubtedly impressive. What piqued her curiosity was why he always appeared as Millicent's benefactor in each of her reincarnations.

It could be a coincidence once, but after nine times, it could only be intentional.

Followers of the ancient belief surmised that exchanging glances 500 times was needed to meet once in the next life. Shannon wasn't sure if that was an actual statistic, but there was some truth to it.

Only those with deeply intertwined karmic ties could experience such a reunion across lifetimes. Even the characters in the so-called Seven Lifetimes of Grudge, an ancient lore, only shared seven lifetimes.

In other words, nine lifetimes of encounters were nearly impossible, let alone the fact that Millicent waited a century before her first reincarnation.

Instead of marking it as a series of coincidences, Shannon believed that Zidane had deliberately looked for Millicent in each lifetime to give her guidance. Clearly, this couldn't have been achieved by a mortal.

Shannon wasn't the type to make things harder for herself. Since she had identified the problem, she decided to deal with it directly and made a quick phone wall.

Zidane quickly picked up the phone, his voice idle. "Got my ten thousand points ready?"

"You'd have to collect them from the Ghost King yourself." She paused and added, "After all, you're acquainted with the Duke of Ravenvale."

Her words were laced with meaning. On the other end of the line, Zidane didn't seem surprised. Instead, he let out a chuckle and asked, "How did you figure it out? Did you search his soul?"
