My grandfather is very eccentric, performing daily rituals of offering incense to himself, standing in front of his own spirit tablet and eating candles.
Villagers are fearful of my grandfather.
I am fearful of him too.
Later, I discovered that what they were afraid of was not my grandfather, but me.
Even grandfather is afraid of me.
...
My name is Chen Shi.
The Chen of honesty, the Shi of sincerity.

Xiao Wangsun's Master Chen referred to was indeed Chen Shi's grandfather.


At the outskirts of Mirror Lake Villa, Chen Shi had heard him refer to his grandfather as Master Chen.


Chen Shi hurriedly thanked Xiao Wangsun and asked with doubt, "Even my grandfather knows about these things?"


Xiao Wangsun replied indifferently, "His knowledge might not match mine, but it's not far off. Of course, he understands."


Chen Shi was puzzled; he had always thought his grandfather was just an ordinary Talisman Master, but the emergence of Granny Sha and Xiao Wangsun made him feel there was more to his grandfather than he knew.


But if his grandfather did know, why hadn't he taught him?


"Why would you go out at night and end up in such a state?" Xiao Wangsun inquired.
