Auspicious Divination Stick
Closing her eyes, the darkness around Milly inexplicably cased her mood quite a bit. The Buddhist
scriptures in her ears also seemed somewhat pleasant.
Although she had always firmly believed that everything depended on human effort and did not
believe in any other doctrine besides science, but having kneeled down, it seemed unjust not to
seek something good
Then, she prayed for Buddha’s blessings. May all the people I care about be safe and happy, and
may everything go smoothly.
She also prayed that another Milly could obtain what she desired and not suffer in the next life.
She didn’t ask for much.
After a while, as Milly was nearly falling asleep, suddenly there was a dull sound of a bell, and the
chanting of Buddhist scriptures stopped, along with the sound of the wooden fish.
Master Karuna, sitting on a cushion on one side, stood up with palms together. “Amitabha, the
chanting for salvation has ended. Pleasee forward to draw a divination stick.”
Just as Philip was getting to his feet, there was a suddenmotion from outside. Soon after, the
young monk’s voice chimed in again, “Amitabha, Master Karuna, there are three guests outside
want to join in the
Ceremony too.”
Master Karuna nodded slightly upon seeing them and twirled his prayer beads. Then let theme
in together.
Milly blinked. They’re joining the ritual together?
We have different ancestors, can we do the ritual together?
Philip didn’t seem to object, which was unusual for him, being so traditional. So, who were these
visitors exactly?
Footsteps echoed, and Milly nced back.
The doors swung wide open, and against the light came three figures. At first nce, Milly
recognised George.
He was unusually not in his usual suit but dressed casually in grey, which made him look tall and
lean. seeming much younger.
He walked behind Andrew, bowing respectfully towards Master Karuna with an air of solemnity.
Milly felt her heart skip a beat. It was the first time she had seen George like this.
Is he here to pray too? Who is he praying for? What is his wish?

That smile, like the vibrant lotus pond she once saw at the temple, was dazzling and bright.
Milly felt her cheeks heat up and quickly looked away

As she regained her senses, she realised she had been staring at George and couldn’t help but
want to give herself a p!
Ihy can’t you just mind your own business? Why are you staring!
Do you not see
not see enough handsome men? Are Jordan, Jonathan, and Anthony not handsome enough? Is
Apollo not cute enough?
What are you looking at! Why are you staring? Buddha teaches about the purity of the six senses,
and you’re still
staring!
Amitabha!
At that moment, George knelt on the cushion, palms together, and closed his eyes.
First, may my family stay healthy. Second, may things go smoothly for William. Third…
George’s tightly closed eyshes trembled slightly. In previous years, he had only two wishes, but
this year, he wanted to be a bit selfish and add one more.
Third, may I win Milly’s heart and never part for the rest of our lives.
As Master Karuna finished his chanting and paused with his wooden fish, he stood up and gave a
slight bow. “Everyone, pleasee up and draw your divination stick.”
The barrel for the bamboo sticks was big, and a young monk nearby bumped into it, causing a
shuffling sound
Philip and Andrew were the first to draw, Andrew got an auspicious stick, while Philip got a neutral
one. Even though it’s supposed to be quiet in the temple, Andrew couldn’t help butugh out loud.
“Hahaha, Philip, looks like I’ve got the upper hand this time. Hahaha.”
Philip’s face turned livid, and he snorted coldly. “Don’t get too happy, it’s just this once!”
Andrew was infuriated beyond measure. “Heh, even once is better than you, Philip. Looks like
you’re getting what’sing to you today, hahaha.”
Philip couldn’t hold back any longer. If they weren’t in front of the Buddha right now, he would have
probably swung his cane at Andrew. Disrespecting the elderly indeed, this was it!
“Hmph, it was just a slip of the hand. Let me draw again, I’ll definitely get something better than
you!” dered Philip.
As he reached to draw another lot, Master Karuna beside him intervened calmly. “Amitabha,
everything happens for a reason. Don’t push for something that’s not meant to be.”

After that, it was the younger ones turn to draw a divination stick. They got all sorts of results, but
Milly wasn’t interested in joining or even drawing a lot herself she justzily yawned at the back.
Before long, she heard amotion from nearby in the crowd.
“Stephanie, you got the very auspicious one! You drew the top one!”
“Stephanie, you’re impressive.”
Stephanie had quite the stroke of luck this time; she managed to draw the best divination stick, a
first for their group.
There were a hundred bamboo sticks in the barrel, divided into three types based on their luck: 3
very auspicious. 18 auspicious, 27 moderately auspicious, 8 very good, 24 neutral, I moderately
unauspicious. and 19 very unauspicious. Drawing a very auspicious one really depends on luck.
Master Karuna smiled with a twinkle in his cyc. “This time, it’s all smooth sailing and good fortune,
very auspicious indeed!”
Stephanie clearly didn’t expect to draw the very auspicious one. She stood there momentarily
stunned, but Master Karuna’s words brought her back to reality. She couldn’t help but smile widely.
Thank you. Master
Karuna
Philip nced at her with a proud look, nodding approvingly. She was truly his granddaughter.
Stephanie held the lot tightly in her hand, as if it had be a part of her.
May everything go smoothly and bring great luck!
She just knew this time she could start anew. Surely, it was the Buddha’s kindness that gave her
another. chance for a peaceful, smooth life, free from more hardships,
And now, not only did she have memories from her past life to guide her, but also the Buddha’s
blessings. Milly, what do you have against me now!
Seeing Stephanie’s confident look, Milly couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow. Is this a challenge?
Come on, sis. It’s just a yful lot. Haven’t you learned about Marz? Or maybe you haven’t learned
about materialism?
Just as Milly was about to re back, a tall figure suddenly blocked her view, casting a shadow
over half of her body.
Hmm? Jordan?
Jordan ruffled her hair, his eyes filled with fondness. “Feeling sleepy? You can nap in the carter.
Let’s go. draw a divination stick first.
Milly pursed her lips. “Jordan, I think I’ll pass. I’m an atheist, I don’t believe in destiny.”
