"The divination wasn't wrong. Are you saying that in the future, I'll also have unrequited... forbidden feelings that won't be accepted, with no hope of them ever coming true?"
Kuzunoha took a few steps back and leaned against a tree trunk... smiling as she looked at Cang Xiaoxuan.
"Though it does feel like quite a coincidence, that should be the case." Faced with Kuzunoha's clearly disbelieving... teasing words, Cang Xiaoxuan answered with great certainty and seriousness.

Still, this Young Master Fu... seemed to have no romantic feelings for her at all. Instead, she wanted Kuzunoha to become her disciple.
At that thought, Kuzunoha's heart sank slightly... Could Cang Xiaoxuan's divination earlier have been referring to Young Master
