The hexagram obtained was Sun (the Wind) for the upper trigram and Li (the Fire) for the lower, forming the Family hexagram. This hexagram signifies domestic harmony, with the man being firm and the woman gentle; however, it indicates that the woman is the key factor in family matters. Therefore, the outcome of the matter being divined hinged upon the woman in his life.
Lin Fei then examined the second line of the hexagram: "No regrets, manage the household affairs; righteousness brings good fortune." This implies that a woman's virtue lies in her gentleness and compliance, with water representing this softness—the core of managing a home, which promises prosperity. There was also an oracle accompanying this hexagram: "Timely rain, just at the right moment; pure water destiny, water meets water, fate originates from fate."
After interpreting the hexagram, the lines, and the oracle, it became clear to Lin Fei that to gain the recognition of the Divine Dragon Sacred Cauldron, he needed a woman with a water-element destiny and a gentle, soft-hearted nature—and this woman had to be someone already in his life.
