Xu Congjin found a water mirror.
She was about to turn it in, since one should not keep what one finds, when a line of text suddenly appeared on its surface. It was the cultivation method she had been struggling to understand for ages.
Could this be the legendary opportunity she had been waiting for?
After taking the water mirror home, she could glean a sentence or two of "guidance" from it every day. She checked the claims and found every one of them accurate, even the one about a mole on the Sect Leader's foot.
Xu Congjin became ever more convinced that this was an opportunity bestowed upon her by Heaven. The mirror did occasionally spit out a few cryptic lines of "guidance," such as [A bunch of ordinary fools. Lianzhi dumplings are the world's greatest delicacy], [Why are so many people asking Song Lin out for the Qixi Festival, while no one asks Yue Ya?], and [It's so cold up here on the mountain. I kind of miss home]. She believed it all without question and followed every instruction, no matter how bizarre or difficult.
Until one day, she saw this line:
[Will Junior Sister Congjin say yes to my confession tomorrow?]
Xu Congjin: Huh... me?
Yue Ya lost a water mirror.
It wasn't anything valuable. He could just buy another one. He carried on as usual, using his new mirror to record what happened each day, jotting down whatever came to mind:
On such-and-such a day, the head chef finally agreed to make Lianzhi dumplings, and no one cared?! Well, except that disciple Xu Congjin. At least she has good taste.
On such-and-such a day, Song Lin bragged again about all the senior and junior sisters who asked him out for Qixi, so he couldn't go train at the martial arts field. Hah! What an idiot! The Great Dao is heartless. How can cultivators let petty matters distract them from the bigger picture... Heavenly Venerable, Junior Sister Xu actually asked me out, out, out? Where did I put that sword tassel I made with phoenix feathers!
On such-and-such a day, I saw my inner demon again... It's so cold up here on the mountain. I kind of miss home.
It would be nice if Junior Sister Congjin were here.
Who is that down there, running around outside in the middle of the night instead of sleeping... Wait, is that... Junior Sister Congjin?
A chatty, secretly lovesick senior brother x a straightforward junior sister who takes everything at face value
