2283 In Fact, I Calculated Three Hexagrams

Song Shuhang was very curious to know what exactly Senior Yellow Mountain saw.

However, Senior Yellow Mountain didn’t respond for a long time.

He had been online just a moment ago, and his messages were usually instant.

“Hmm? What’s going on?” Song Shuhang wondered.

Senior Yellow Mountain had been silent for quite some time, so it was unlikely that he had lost connection. Song Shuhang began to speculate about Senior Yellow Mountain’s thoughts. Was it a sensitive question?

But then, what could be the reason that Senior Yellow Mountain wouldn’t want to reveal the results of the hexagram? Was there some hidden secret within it?

On the other side of things, inside his immortal cave, Venerable Yellow Mountain had a serious expression on his face. His finger was sliding through his friend list. He tapped on Song Shuhang’s profile picture, pulling out the ‘delete friend’ option. At this moment, it seemed like he was struggling and making a decision in his heart.

He was genuinely considering it.

At the same time, Doudou stealthily entered Venerable Yellow Mountain’s room in search of something to eat. As soon as it entered the room, its sharp eyes saw Venerable Yellow Mountain pointing at Song Shuhang’s profile picture and clicking on the ‘delete friend’ option.

Doudou was shocked.

Stupid Yellow Mountain was actually on the verge of deleting him as a friend!

Had the sky fallen?

Had Song Shuhang met an unprecedented end?

Doudou quickly left Venerable Yellow Mountain’s room and sent an urgent message to Song Shuhang. “Shuhang, what did you do to push Yellow Mountain to this point? This is the first time I’ve seen him in such a state.”

Song Shuhang was dumbfounded. “I didn’t do anything. I haven’t even been active in the group today. In fact, during the day, I helped Fairy Susu resolve a crisis involving the ‘Broken Dragon Evil Fantasy.’ I was full of positive energy.”

Wait a minute… Could it be because I asked about the hexagram just now?

After replying to Doudou, Song Shuhang had a thought.

“How could that be possible? If you didn’t do anything, why would Huang Shan open your profile picture and even open the ‘delete friend’ option? He had a solemn expression on his face as he seemed to be seriously considering this matter,” Doudou quickly typed.

“What?” Song Shuhang’s heart was in turmoil.

What was hidden in that hexagram? It actually made Senior Yellow Mountain contemplate deleting him as a friend.

Could it be that the hexagram was related to some dark history that Senior Yellow Mountain didn’t want to reveal. Was it similar to Senior White’s ‘long hair’ issue?

Now was not the time to think of this.

If he didn’t save himself soon, Senior Yellow Mountain might really delete him as a friend or even block him.

He quickly sent another message.

“Senior Yellow Mountain, I suddenly value the power of mystery.”

Venerable Yellow Mountain was stunned.

“The more mysterious it is, the more intriguing it feels. I asked for the truth earlier, but I was not thinking clearly. I don’t want to know what the divination was about. It’s because I’m already a part of the Nine Provinces Number One Group. Thanks to the seniors, I’ve gained the great fortune I have today. I have no regrets in my heart.” Song Shuhang’s fingers moved rapidly and left afterimages.

“Well, you have a point,” Senior Yellow Mountain replied.

Song Shuhang finally heaved a sigh of relief. It seemed like he had temporarily passed this test.

This way, he could still quietly stay in Senior Yellow Mountain’s friend list and be a junior cultivator.

Just as he was deep in thought, Senior Yellow Mountain suddenly replied, “I didn’t respond to your message for quite some time. You should have guessed something, right? After all, you are quite meticulous, and your deductive abilities are quite good.”

When Song Shuhang saw these words, he was actually quite touched. He didn’t expect Senior Yellow Mountain to have such a high opinion of him.

“Senior Yellow Mountain, what are you talking about?” However, he still replied quickly.

“It’s alright. There’s nothing to hide now,” Venerable Yellow Mountain said slowly.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

Why did it feel like Senior Yellow Mountain was about to spill some secrets?

“Back then, when I was deciding whether to keep you in the Nine Provinces Number One Group, I performed three hexagram divinations in a row,” Venerable Yellow Mountain continued.

Song Shuhang was slightly stunned.

Three hexagrams?

Senior Yellow Mountain had been so cautious when deciding whether to allow him, a mere university student, to stay in the Nine Provinces Number One Group?

“The first hexagram was related to divine birds and trees,” Venerable Yellow Mountain continued.

Song Shuhang pinched his chin and pondered for a moment. Divine bird + tree… It clicked!

“Phoenix and parasol tree?” he quickly replied.

“Yes, so the first hexagram represented that you were reborn from the ashes. Your subsequent experiences matched the first hexagram. You were the most diligent fellow cultivator I’ve ever seen. Moreover, after you joined the Nine Provinces Number One Group, you indeed went through a rebirth. This hexagram means that you have a fateful connection with the group,” Venerable Yellow Mountain replied.

Song Shuhang was at a loss for words.

“The second hexagram is related to time and symbolizes day and night,” Venerable Yellow Mountain continued.

Song Shuhang furrowed his brow and pondered. It had something to do with time.

Day and night.

White and black.

“Could it be Senior White?” Song Shuhang suddenly had a flash of inspiration and asked.

“Yes… That was exactly the case. At that time, I thought that this divination was related to Fellow Daoist White. So, when I read your fortune, I decided to keep you here. I even assigned you the task of bringing Fellow Daoist White out of seclusion,” Venerable Yellow Mountain revealed.

Song Shuhang was speechless.

“What about the third hexagram?” Song Shuhang asked curiously.

“The third hexagram is related to turning around, lights, and people. In fact, I still haven’t fully understood the third hexagram. I don’t comprehend its meaning. That’s also the reason why I hesitated about how to explain it to you,” Venerable Yellow Mountain said in a deep voice.

Song Shuhang fell into deep thought again.

Turning around, lights, people?

This divination was indeed difficult to explain.

“However, even though I didn’t manage to decipher the third hexagram, the first two hexagrams were enough for me to keep you here,” Venerable Yellow Mountain said with a faint smile. He raised his teacup and took a sip of immortal tea.

“I see… Thank you, Senior Yellow Mountain, for clearing my doubts.

By the way, Senior Yellow Mountain, I want to add my roommate using my alternate account, but he recently set up a friend verification. Do you have any suggestions on how to add him naturally?” Song Shuhang asked.

“If you can’t solve the problem through conventional means, you can use some minor mystical techniques. Be flexible in using your identity as a cultivator,” Venerable Yellow Mountain advised.

“Understood. Thank you for your guidance, Senior,” Song Shuhang said.

“You’re welcome,” Venerable Yellow Mountain replied.

The interaction between the senior and junior went smoothly.

After ending the conversation with Senior Yellow Mountain, Song Shuhang took out a piece of white paper and wrote down the insights.

Divine Bird + Tree.

Day + Night.

Turning Around + Lights + People.

These three hexagrams were definitely not as simple as Senior Yellow Mountain had described. If the answers were as straightforward as he had mentioned, Senior Yellow Mountain wouldn’t have contemplated deleting him as a friend.
