Senior, that ant is so cute, don't poke it to death!
When she saw Venerable White poke the ant, a sad feeling welled up in Copper Trigram's heart… she felt a certain sympathy for the ant, as though they were the same entity.
"G-good morning, Venerable White," Copper Trigram said in a robot-like voice.
Venerable White stretched his hand out and drew a circle on the ground, enclosing the thirty or so ants. Then, he raised his head and said to Copper Trigram, "Fellow Daoist Copper Trigram, can you perform a divination for me? I want to know if those members of the Thirty-Three Divine Beasts' Sect will show up today."
"Sure, I'll do it immediately." Immortal Master Copper Trigram lowered the intensity of the flames beneath the barbeque. Afterward, she took out the tortoise shell and started to shake it, making the three copper coins inside fall to the ground.
