Xu Yan stepped in and couldn't help but frown at the sight before him. What a pair of rivals...
In the living room, Master Four Eyes and the Great Master were engaging in a playful battle over the dining table, exchanging bits of food like children. One threw a vegetable leaf, the other retaliated with a peanut.
Their disciples were anxious beyond belief, while they themselves were having a blast.
“Cough, cough! You two, really mischievous.” Xu Yan said, suppressing a smile.
Jiale turned around and, seeing Xu Yan back, quickly pulled him aside, motioning for silence and whispering, “Younger brother, the masters are at it again.”
“Oh, and this is Qingqing, the Great Master's disciple,” Jiale introduced the girl beside him to Xu Yan.
Xu Yan nodded at Qingqing as a greeting and continued to observe the living room. Such a fascinating spectacle couldn't be missed.
Did Master Four Eyes have a second disciple?
Xu Yan hadn't heard his master mention it.
Qingqing curiously scrutinized Xu Yan. She could sense his high status, and Jiale automatically stepped aside as she approached.
“Younger brother is the third disciple of our senior martial uncle. He's very skilled, and our master always praises him.” Jiale explained quietly to Qingqing.
So that was it!
Qingqing blinked her pretty big eyes and lost interest in the spectacle, instead focusing her gaze on Xu Yan.
“Younger brother, what should we do? Should we stop them?” Jiale felt that letting the two old pranksters continue wasn't a good idea and should be stopped, but he dared not do it himself for fear of getting beaten. So, he had to seek help from Xu Yan.
Xu Yan, still watching the spectacle, said without turning back, “Why stop them? Let them have their fun.”
“I'm hungry. Is there anything to eat?”
Jiale: “...”
This person was so amusing. Qingqing was amused.
While the two old pranksters continued their antics, Xu Yan and Jiale slaughtered a big goose and prepared braised goose in the kitchen. Qingqing, however, furrowed her brows slightly. She followed the Great Master in eating vegetarian food and found the smell of meat a bit unsettling.
Jiale was more observant and knew to cook some vegetarian dishes for Qingqing. To capture a goddess's heart, you must first capture her stomach!
“Wow, delicious. Jiale, your cooking skills are really great.” Xu Yan praised as he enjoyed his meal.
The taste was outstanding. If Jiale didn't become a Taoist and opened a restaurant instead, his business would definitely be booming.
“By the way, younger brother, where did you go this afternoon?”
After setting the dishes on the table, Jiale happily accompanied Qingqing in eating vegetarian food while Xu Yan enjoyed his braised goose alone.
After discarding the bone in his hand, Xu Yan belched contentedly and replied, “I went to practice martial arts in the mountains. My practice can be quite loud, so I didn't want to burn Uncle's dojo or the Great Master's home.”
“Really?!”
Jiale looked at him in astonishment. What kind of martial arts could be so destructive?
What Xu Yan practiced was too advanced for Jiale, who was still unqualified for even the basic art of controlling corpses, let alone mastering thunder spells and lightning fists.
“No more playing! You're cheating! Buddha forgive me, it's a sin, a sin.” exclaimed the Great Master from inside the cabin, followed by his embarrassed exit with his legs tightly clamped together and his buttocks twisting as he slowly walked out. Behind him came Master Four Eyes' triumphant laughter.
Like father, like son!
The disciple kicked, and so did the master.
Sin, sin. Hope nothing's broken. Seeing the Great Master struggling to suppress his embarrassment, Xu Yan could only mourn for him silently in his heart for three seconds.
“Master, wait for me!”
Seeing this, Qingqing put down her chopsticks and chased after her master to the neighboring cabin.
“Ha! Ha! Ha! I won, I won...”
With a leering smile, Master Four Eyes came out and shouted to Jiale, “Get something to eat. I'm hungry.”
The table was wasted, but in a good mood, Master Four Eyes decided to enjoy a hearty meal.
“Yes...”
With the goddess gone, Jiale had to deal with the mess and sent the half-eaten braised goose to Master Four Eyes.
“Ha! Ha! I won!”
Xu Yan thought his uncle was possessed. No wonder he was always scolded by his master. This old rascal loved to make trouble and deserved to be scolded.
Uncle Ninth couldn't tolerate any nonsense. A little playfulness was fine, but if you were always unserious, you'd be scolded.
“Have Uncle Four Eyes and the Great Master always been like this?” Xu Yan asked Jiale in between bites.
Jiale chuckled bitterly, “Yeah, whenever they're together, it's pretty much the same. These old rivals.”
Who would be neighbors if they weren't rivals?
As the saying goes, birds of a feather flock together. But these two, a monk and a Taoist, became neighbors and cherished each other despite their differences.
