That evening, after taking a bath, Xu Chen lay in the bedroom that the Xu family had prepared for him. He placed everything belonging to the Tianquan Sect in his storage bag, hanging it on his waist. While recalling the events of the day, he observed the room's layout. From Xu Nan's memories, he learned some information about the Xu family's son—they looked almost identical and shared the same name. Looking at the diary on the desk, he slowly opened it. The diary described the Xu family's son as a complete wastrel, smoking, drinking, fighting, and gambling. The diary contained words of defiance against his parents' discipline, as well as things they forbade him to do, which deepened Xu Chen's understanding of the Xu family's son. "Master, was this your doing?" Recalling the 'coincidence' of the day, Xu Chen murmured to himself.

So, after bumping into the suicidal playboy Xu Chen, he intervened and saved him.
Watching the death of the纨绔 (wan ku, a spoiled brat) Xu Chen, the old man stroked his beard, dismissing the strange thoughts in his mind. "So be it, so be it, nothing can be forced." With a wave of his hand, the纨绔 Xu Chen's body vanished instantly. "My disciple is also about to become a mortal. I'll make some arrangements so that he can take your place for the rest of your life and take care of your family."
