When the moonlight of Mount Zhongnan drifted across the Wishing Forest, Daoist Master Yuqing's Daoist robe swept across the sea of red silk on the ground. The Dao Heart Red rouge in her hair cast a soft glow in the moonlight, and the Huwa figurine on her abacus-bead hairpin suddenly blinked—it turned out Huwa had installed a moonlight refraction mechanism inside the wood carving, and the abacus-bead eyes gazed at the horsetail whisk clutched tightly in her hand.
"Is the Daoist Master practicing the 'Whisk Slash of Emotional Ties'?" Zhang Yifan's abacus beads clattered from behind a tree, bouncing into the shape of the character for "chaos" amidst the red silk. "From where I'm standing, it looks more like you're casting an abacus hexagram for the red silk." Yuqing glared at him, but her whisk accidentally brushed away an abacus bead carved with the character for "Tribulation"—it was a new Karma-Fate Puppet bead Huwa had carved, its abacus-bead eyes staring right at her lips.
"This poor Daoist is calculating..." She looked away, but the abacus beads spelled out the character for "heart" across the red silk, "how many of the wishes on the red silk are praying for romance." Huwa immediately slid down from the tree and shoved a wooden tally counter into her hand, its abacus-bead tongue licking the red silk cord: "Brother Fan says, three hundred new red silk ribbons were added today, and half of them say 'May I meet a good match'!"
