"Brother Wang Han is indeed impressive; he caught this stinking monk in just a few moves." Seeing Wang Han subdue the old monk so easily, the four-eyed Taoist praised him happily. Then, he glared fiercely at the old monk and said, "Stinking monk, let's see how capable you are today, daring to hit my disciple."
"Who are you? Release my master!" The angry young girl, seeing the old monk easily subdued, forgot her anger and quickly spoke up. (She had just been taken in as a disciple by the old monk and brought here, so she didn't recognize the four-eyed Taoist.)
“Amitabha, benefactor, please let me speak.” The old monk chanted a Buddhist prayer and said to Wang Han.
“Okay,” Wang Han nodded and released the monk.
"Hey, Wang Han, don't let go!" the Four-Eyed Taoist said anxiously upon seeing this. This was a rare opportunity.
"It's alright, we can catch them again if we let them go," Wang Han said with a smile to the Four-Eyed Taoist, then asked the old monk, "Can you tell me why you beat your fellow Taoist's disciple?"
'......'
"Here's what happened. Today, I originally wanted to introduce my apprentice Qingqing to Jiale, but Jiale was naughty and took advantage of my apprentice without realizing it. In order to appease Qingqing..." The old monk began to tell Wang Han and Simu Daoren the whole story.
Seeing that things were not going well, Jiale tried to sneak away, but was glared at by the Four-Eyed Taoist and had no choice but to stay where he was.
"Alright, you brat, come back with me and see how I deal with you." After the old monk explained that it was his disciple Jiale who had taken advantage of the female disciple, Simu was too ashamed to stay in the old monk's house any longer. He grabbed Simu's ear and dragged him out.
"I apologize for my rudeness just now," Wang Han said to the old monk, and quickly followed him out.

"You brat, you've got some nerve, daring to take advantage of others?" Back home, Four-Eyes Daoist was furious. After releasing Jia Le, he started looking for a stick. This time he had lost face big time, especially in front of the old monk.
"Master, I was wrong." Upon seeing this, Jiale quickly pinched his ears with both hands and squatted down on the ground.
"Fellow Daoist, calm down. According to what the monk said, Jiale didn't do it on purpose," Wang Han advised.
Jiale glanced at Wang Han gratefully.
"Am I angry that he took advantage of that girl?" Upon hearing this, the Four-Eyed Taoist said angrily, "I'm angry that he's so close to the old monk. Doesn't he know that his master and the old monk are mortal enemies?"
“…” Wang Han paused for a moment and said, “Treason is no small matter. He really deserves to be beaten. Fellow Daoist, do you want me to beat him up for you?”
Jiale and Simu were both taken aback upon hearing this.
"Master, calm down. Don't hurt your old man's hand. Let this brother beat me up." Jiale quickly said, thinking that Wang Han wanted to pretend to beat him up like the old monk, and that his master would calm down once he was done.
"No..." Four Eyes quickly stopped him, "You can beat even a natural zombie to pieces, my apprentice's small body can't withstand a punch from you."
Then Si Mu stopped looking for a stick, kicked Jia Le in the butt, and scolded, "What brother? He's my senior brother's friend, and also my friend. Quickly call him Master."
"Ah." Jiale was taken aback. He looked at Wang Han, who was even younger than him.
"What 'ah'? Hurry up and call him Master." The Four-Eyed Taoist glared at him.
“Master,” Jiale exclaimed immediately.
"Wang Han, this is my good-for-nothing disciple, Jiale. I'm sorry you had to laugh at me today," the Four-Eyed Taoist said to Wang Han. Then he kicked Jiale in the butt and shouted, "Go and make some tea. Make me the best tea. After you've made the tea, go and cook me a good meal."
"Yes, Master." Upon hearing this, Jia Le quickly rubbed his backside and went to make tea. 'Why did Master make me call this young man named Wang Han "Master"? He doesn't even look as old as me, but his kung fu is truly amazing.'
——————————————————
At noon, after estimating that the Four-Eyed Taoist's anger had subsided, the old monk brought his female disciple to the Four-Eyed Taoist's house, so that she could get to know Wang Han.
Seeing the old monk and Qingqing coming from next door, Jiale quickly ran out of the kitchen and greeted them warmly, "Master, Qingqing, come in and sit down."
"Qingqing, quickly pay your respects to the Taoist priest." After the three entered the house, the old monk stretched out his palm to gesture for Qingqing to look at the Four-Eyed Taoist, and introduced him to Qingqing.
"Taoist Master," Qingqing quickly and obediently called out.
"Hmm," the Four-Eyed Taoist responded with a nasal sound.
Qingqing whispered to the old monk, "Master, is he the Four-Eyed Taoist Priest you often mention to me?"
"Yes." The old monk, who was looking at Wang Han, responded without realizing what was happening.
"What did you say about me?" Upon hearing this, Si Mu's eyes widened.
Seeing this, the old monk quickly turned his back to the Four-Eyed Taoist and winked at Qingqing.
Qingqing's eyes darted around, and she quickly said, "Master said you are kind-hearted, upright, and have spent your life slaying demons and monsters. You would rather kill the wrong person than let one go. You are very caring towards your disciples. Even if you do something wrong, he will neither hit nor scold you. He will only say that he loves you to death."
"Master, he described it so vividly!" Jiale agreed with the Four-Eyed Taoist. His master often said he loved him to death, but it always ended up being a bad thing for him.
Wang Han found it amusing. Hadn't Jia Le noticed that while Qingqing was praising the Four-Eyes Taoist, she was actually implying that he was a mean-spirited and cruel person who showed no mercy in exorcising demons, preferring to kill innocent people rather than let demons go? He also frequently beat and scolded his disciples, yet he dared to talk to the Four-Eyes Taoist about conveying divine essence.
