- Sad Old Man: Even the tea here tastes bitter now.
- Yixuan: I see... but I just did a divination reading for you.
- Yixuan: The trigrams reveal that your daughter might be coming to visit you with her child soon.
- Yixuan: Well, are you feeling any better now?
- Sad Old Man: C—Could it be true?!
- Yixuan: Of course.
- Yixuan: So, does the tea still taste bitter to you?
- Sad Old Man: Not anymore... uh, hmm! Come to think of it, this tea tastes exactly as it always has!
- Sad Old Man: So I won't file a complaint! They didn't cut any corners!
- Sad Old Man: Hahaha, hahaha! How wonderful!
- Sad Old Man: I need to hurry back and whip up something tasty for my daughter and granddaughter!
- The old man leaves in high spirits.
- Yixuan: As expected, it was a matter of the mind.
Shifu...- Yixuan: Oh? You're here?
- Yixuan: I just saw an old man saying the tea's taste had changed here, so I did a quick fortune reading and gave him some words of comfort.
- Yixuan: So, what do you say? Would you like to try the tea here too?
