"You want to help me with a character divination?" Li Xiu looked at Baye with some surprise.
"Divining auspiciousness or misfortune might be of some help to you," Baye said.
Li Xiu thought for a moment and said, "Even if your divination is accurate, knowing a bad result will only make me feel uneasy and won't change anything. If the result is good, knowing in advance reduces surprises, so I don't need the divination."
Baye laughed, "You're overestimating me. I don't have the ability to predict the future, just a guess at potential issues, a random divination."
Li Xiu thought for a moment, then drew a "灵" (spirit) character on the ground with a bamboo stick, a character written by the previous mistress here for the Eternal Heaven.
Li Xiu wasn't truly seeking fortune or misfortune but wanted to know what Baye would say.
