Outside the Demon Suppressing Temple!
Zhang Li’er led her juniors in pursuit of Mo Sanshan.
Wang Ke immediately ran back into the old temple. His men were still lying unconscious; he quickly checked on his men and felt relieved when he found out they had only passed out.
"Amitābha. Don’t worry, they will soon wake up!" said Monk Jie Se as he tapped between their eyebrows. They began to wake up one after the other.
Then, Wang Ke looked at the Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples and asked, "Ehh, what is it with you guys? Why did you come to trouble me after some taunting from Mo Sanshan? And he even followed you in secret?"
They were also lost, though. "We… We don’t know either!"
"He shouldn’t have acted that way. An Astral Infant cultivator like him can basically do whatever he wants in the open. Why lurk in secret?" Wang Ke said, feeling suspicious. He turned around and looked at Zhu Yan.
"Why are you looking at me? I’m also a victim!" Zhu Yan said, feeling annoyed. Damn it. I was almost captured once again!
"Zhu Yan, they said you’re a troublemaker, and they are right on the money! I’m so damn unlucky for being forced to protect you!" Wang Ke complained in frustration.
"How did I cause any trouble? I didn’t do anything, did I? What trouble did I cause?" Zhu Yan retorted angrily.
"Tsshing!"
The Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples drew their swords; Zhu Yan’s face froze before he shrunk to a corner.
"You are still in denial? Just look! How many days has it been after we left the Qing Capital? First, we found this naggy monk who wants to enlighten you. I had to help you to take him on, right?" Wang Ke asked with angry eyes.
The monk’s face froze in astonishment. If you want to scold Zhu Yan, go ahead. Why do you have to add an adjective before my name? You are the naggy one!
"Then, new trouble comes your way! Murong Luguang and his juniors want to kill you! I helped you again and took them on, didn’t I?" Wang Ke continued his questions angrily.
Zhu Yan was dumbstruck, Things really seemed that way.
"Wang Ke, why didn’t you kill him? And you are actually protecting him?" the Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples questioned with a frown.
"None of your business!" Wang Ke glared back at them and declared, "If you want to slay demons, go and capture them yourself! This one is mine! I don’t need you guys to interfere with how I deal with him! You’ve been incapable of capturing demons outside, so you resort to bullying with fellow disciples?"
The Heavenly Wolf Sect disciples looked embarrassed and angry. Damn you! You then are the one who is bullying your way inside the sect! We just made a passing remark! Do you really have put it that way?
"I’m not done yet," Wang Ke continued shouting at Zhu Yan, "Look, even Mo Sanshan, an Astral Infant cultivator, wants to capture you in secret! He would have been successful if I didn’t call him out on it! Zhu Yan, can you please not make me worry so much? Enough with your troublemaking!"
Awkwardness filled Zhu Yan’s face. Damn, so it’s all my fault? But I didn’t do anything!
"Amitābha, Wang Ke, you are really having it tough! Why don’t you hand him over to me so I can enlighten him? I’m here all the time and have nothing to do anyway!" Monk Jie Se suggested.
"No way!" Zhu Yan cried out to object.
"Monk Jie Se, let me do it! If you’re free, please help in persuading my Eldest apprentice-brother, Murong Luguang!" said Wang Ke as he pointed at his senior.
"Oh?" Monk Jie Se turned his attention to Murong Luguang. The latter’s hair turned green as he entered a meditative state and gave off a green glow; his fellow disciples were keeping watch, preventing anyone from coming close to him.
"My Eldest apprentice-brother is severely delusional!" Wang Ke explained.
"He’s delusional?" Monk Jie Se was a little surprised.
"Wang Ke, don’t you dare slander our Eldest apprentice-brother!" a junior disciple warned angrily.
Wang Ke ignored him and continued talking to the monk, "That’s right, to a severe extent. He lives in an ongoing illusion that all the beautiful women in this world are his wives!"
"He thinks all the pretty women are his wives?" The monk found the fact shocking.
"Yeah, I got into a relationship with someone called Princess Youyue. Murong Luguang found out and took me as an enemy; he kept on opposing me with envious eyes! And that’s not all… Look at what happened today! There is nothing between Zhang Li’er and me, yet Murong Luguang was still dead set on coming to settle the score with me! What is all this about? He’s severely affecting my quality of life!" Wang Ke complained.
"Oh?" Monk Jie Se was a little doubtful about Wang Ke’s side of the story.
"Is there really nothing between you and Zhang Li’er?" a Heavenly Wolf Sect’s junior asked indignantly.
"Look! Not only is Murong Luguang severely deluded, his juniors are deep into it as well!" Wang Ke sighed helplessly. "Most importantly, Zhang Li’er has never paid any attention to Murong Luguang! And still he’s always had the idea in his own little world that he’ll be taking her as his wife! Isn’t that just nuts? So, all the beauties in this world are his? Whoever marries a beautiful woman would make him a cuckold?"
All of Murong Luguang juniors’ faces blackened.
"Pfftt!"
Murong Luguang vomited a mouthful of blood while being in a trance.
It was obvious that he could still hear what was happening around him. He spouted blood out of anger, hearing how Wang Ke spoke of him. Freaking hell.
"See! I only made some remarks about him, which are nothing but the truth. Just to sentences and he protested by vomiting blood! I feel very helpless too! Master, you are an expert in this area; please help me persuade him!" said Wang Ke as he looked at Monk Jie Se expectantly.
"Me? An expert in this area? " The monk was a little confused. How come I don’t know about an expertise of mine?
"Doesn’t your name mean ‘to abstain from lust’? You can persuade Murong Luguang to abstain from lust too! That can help in relieving his delusional disorder!" Wang Ke said.
Monk Jie Se: "………………………!"

So you mean I have to help others to work on their lust problems because my monk name is Jie Se?
A junior disciple threatened with angry eyes, "Wang Ke, I will teach you a good lesson if you keep on weaving stories about our Eldest apprentice-brother!"
"Weaving stories? Did I? You tell me! How is Murong Luguang related to Zhang Li’er? Are they Dao partners? No! They are not related in any way; why is he such a busybody, coming all this way? Even if I have something going on with Zhang Li’er, he’s not qualified to bother me about it! Why do I need to report to him about my personal matters? If that’s not a severe delusional disorder, what is?" said Wang Ke to that junior disciple.
"I, yes… Uhh…!" That junior was at a loss for words.
Most importantly, even though Wang Ke is being shameless, he’s not lying!
"I’m also a Hall Lord in the Heavenly Wolf Sect! You are just a mere disciple, and yet you keep treating me rudely? What are you thinking? I’m having a nice chat with Master Jie Se to request his help and cure our Eldest apprentice-brother! Even so, you’re trying to stop me? And worse, being rude to me? What is wrong with you?" Wang Ke questioned that junior fiercely.
The junior’s face stiffened, not knowing how to respond. Are you sure you are looking for someone to treat our Eldest apprentice-brother? Damn, do you need him to thank you?
"Master, do you think you can do that?" Wang Ke looked at Monk Jie Se.
The monk looked at the immobile green-haired cultivator and said, "I can give it a try, but he needs to be willing to stay back and keep me company!"
"Oh, that’s awesome! As the old saying goes, ‘one cannot justify committing a vice on account of it being trivial, neither can one neglect an act of kindness just because it’s small.’ This can very well be considered an act of kindness in my books!" Wang Ke sighed in amazement at himself.ç
"Pfftt!"
Murong Luguang vomited another mouthful of blood as his face turned greener. Damn you. Does that really count as kindness? You are stabbing me right in the heart! Most importantly, I can’t even move; I can only endure your bullsh*t! Freaking hell!
Wang Ke’s subordinates continued to recover, one after the other.
Looking at the ceiling above, Wang Ke realized that the nine lightning bolts aimed at Zhang Li’er’s coffin had destroyed most of the temple’s roof; water was coming in unimpeded.
"This is really creepy! Those clouds had already dissipated and the rain stopped. Why did they come back so suddenly?" Wang Ke was amazed.
The monk answered, "That’s because your Eldest apprentice-brother is also going to have a breakthrough!"
"He’s going to break through?" Wang Ke was stunned by the news.
"Yeah. Breaking through to the Astral Infant Stage is a special process; thunderclouds will cover the sky, while lightning bolts will strike the cultivator mercilessly! The thunderstorm just now was the Heavenly Dao’s trial for Zhang Li’er during her breakthrough to the Astral Infant Stage. The clouds went away the moment she broke through. But now, Murong Luguang is also glowing green! He’s about to break through as well! Look at the ominous clouds in the sky. They must have been drawn here by him!" the monk answered. (TL: By the way, "Luguang" literally means green light.)
"Oh? So he’s almost about to break through?" Wang Ke said, feeling surprised.
