"Empty?" Zeng Mu asked in confusion. "What do you mean?"
"It means love will be hard for you to find. Perhaps the kind that can take root will be especially hard~" Yao Chun explained the meaning of the divination.
"All right." He shrugged, as though shaking a fallen leaf off his shoulder.
"Hey, that's not the right reaction," Yao Chun said suspiciously, looking him up and down as though seeing him for the first time. No, his scrutiny was even more thorough than at their first meeting, as though he wished he could see through him, inside and out.
He looked from the left and right, then circled around to inspect him from behind. This was the first time Zeng Mu had been stared at like this by a man, and he grew impatient. "Have you seen enough?"
Yao Chun shook his head and returned to stand in front of him. With an inquisitive but unhopeful expression, he asked, "Seriously, Nameless, there's nothing wrong with your body, is there?"
"There's something wrong with your body! Mine's perfectly fine. Have you ever heard of an Elementalist having health problems?"
At that, Yao Chun's expression relaxed. "Mm, true. That's good, then. That's good."
"What exactly are you trying to say?"
Yao Chun looked down at the little bamboo Divination Slip again. "All right, I was teasing you earlier. Your reading isn't entirely empty, but I wasn't lying, either, because it shows that half of it is empty. That's very strange. At least, this is the first time I've seen it in over a thousand readings."
"An empty reading should be normal, shouldn't it? Especially one that's only half empty?"
"You're right, but I calculated your birth date and time, and the hand-cast reading I got was solid-a reality that could take root.
