Hanging Monastery territory.
Still upon that Nameless Mountain, Ku Jue the Old Monk was sitting cross-legged at the mountaintop, absentmindedly picking his toes as he leisurely asked, "Was Linzi fun?"
Not far away, Jing Li the Monk was sitting properly on a clean stone slab with a face full of lingering fear. "Linzi was terrifying."
"Without your master accompanying you, you really couldn't handle it... Ah, youth." Ku Jue sighed, then sneered, "Which old coot bullied you? Why was it terrifying? Speak."
Jing Li the Monk pouted and said, "A group of women touched me."
"Heh, that's nothing." Ku Jue dismissed it immediately, but only after the words escaped did he truly register what his disciple had said.
His laughter abruptly stopped.
With a swift slap, he struck Jing Li the Monk's bald head, leaving five muddy fingerprints behind. "You little punk, playing the field like this!?"
