Xu Chang'an was always the most serious person; since Li Zhibai had asked, he would naturally respond to her with the most comprehensive attitude he could muster.
Li Zhibai had only asked because she suddenly remembered that this student of hers was by no means an ordinary person, and so she wanted to know his view.

Was it misfortune?
Was it evidence that highlighted the ignorance of the mundane world?
Or was it… a favor from heaven, because it offered a shortcut in Cultivation?
Li Zhibai had imagined many possible answers.
But after Xu Chang'an wrote out the Five Elements and the Four Directions, and then circled Gui as the tenth of the Heavenly Stems, Li Zhibai was still a little dazed.
