"I can obscure the Heavenly Secret; Red Boy won’t know about it. Without his damned father, he would definitely have a better life," the Ming He Sect Master spoke calmly, clearly having a strong dissatisfaction with Bull Demon King, even wanting to tear him into ten thousand pieces.
"A hint of cold light, Daluo perishes, slaying all mortals without asking the heavens.
Disciple, you indeed have the ability to reach directly to the Heavenly Dao and look down upon the world, but you also have rivals. If in the future, your enemy takes advantage of this matter and informs Red Boy that it was you who killed his father, it would certainly not be good for you.
Even if you are not afraid of these, you should still consider the child. Growing up in a single-parent family, children can easily develop psychological defects, which can lead them astray. For Red Boy’s sake, even if we are uncomfortable, we must let Bull Demon King live."
The Ming He Sect Master imdiately frowned, glanced at the Yuan Tu Slaughter Sword beside him, and sighed, "My killing sword is now covered in dust."
Bai Jin smiled and said, "Uncle Master is like a fierce tiger with a keen sense of sll for roses. Congratulations on finding your most treasured possession."
The Ming He Sect Master was startled, laughed, and said, "What a tiger with a fine sense for roses, you really do understand !
I now finally understand why The Three Pure Ones value you so much."
Bai Jin showed a simple smile and said, "Disciple is simply adept at considering others’ perspectives."
"Death penalty may be spared, but living penalty is inevitable."
"Most definitely, when I heard about Kui Niu’s actions, I was so angry that the Three Corpses in jumped, and my head ached. Even if Uncle Master didn’t ntion it, I wouldn’t let him off easily."
The Ming He Sect Master nodded with satisfaction, very pleased with Bai Jin’s proactive stance. Initially, when Bai Jin arrived, he planned to teach him a little lesson as a warning, but now he felt that Bai Jin genuinely reasoned well, knew his place, and understood intentions, which was really great.
Bai Jin, moved, said, "Uncle Master, is there still a gap in your relationship with your daughter?"
The Ming He Sect Master nodded and said sighingly, "Yes! Luo Cha is very strong, or rather very stubborn. If she were happy after getting married, she might have co back.
But because she is unhappy, she refuses to return and does not want ddling in her affairs."
Bai Jin’s eyes brightened, and he joyfully said, "Uncle Master, this is a great opportunity! Once I capture Kui Niu and imdiately proclaim the implentation of Jie Sect’s family law to execute Bull Demon King, deterring his soul from returning.
If Luo Cha still cares for Bull Demon King, she will definitely go to Heavenly Court to plead for rcy, and I will sternly refuse.
Eventually, with nowhere else to turn, Luo Cha must return to Blood Sea to seek your help, and then you, Uncle Master, can confront Heavenly Court with your vast magnanimity to forgive Bull Demon King, speaking on his behalf, and then the Heavenly Court can only comply, changing the death sentence to a living penalty.
By doing so, the relationship between you and Luo Cha would be nded, and Bull Demon King would witness your divine might, never daring to act recklessly again."
The Ming He Sect Master’s eyes brightened, "Eh~ this seems indeed likely to nd our relations," he quickly said, "That would be great, but it will trouble you, my nephew."
"Why speak of trouble? Due to Kui Niu’s matter causing your separation with your daughter, ultimately, it is our Jie Sect’s fault towards you, all these are what I should do."
"Ha ha~ Co, join for a drink," the Ming He Sect Master was sowhat excited.
"Then I shall respectfully comply," said Bai Jin.
Bai Jin and the Ming He Sect Master stood up, talking and laughing as they walked towards the palace. At the banquet, Bai Jin and the Ming He Sect Master discussed parenting experiences extensively, creating an exceptionally harmonious atmosphere.
Although Bai Jin himself did not have children, in his past life he had been in a relationship and had reached the point of discussing marriage. Though the relationship ended due to the woman’s exorbitant demands, he had dreamt of having children before they broke up and had extensively read online articles about parenting.
"Every Child is an Angel Fallen to Earth," "Hug If You Love ," "The Harm of Single-Parent Families on Children," "The Effect of Praise on Children," "Understanding Children with Your Heart," and others of similar nature.
Bai Jin recited the content of these soft articles thodically, causing the Ming He Sect Master’s eyes to shine brightly, nodding incessantly in agreent, thinking that it all made perfect sense, regretting not having t Bai Jin earlier, otherwise he and Luo Cha wouldn’t have escalated their conflicts to this extent. However, it was not too late, he could still properly teach Red Boy, provided he first smoothed things over with Luo Cha, and that would also rely on Bai Jin’s efforts. This young disciple really knew a lot.

Under a canopy of green shade at Kusong Stream, Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing were seated around, each with leaves stuck to their foreheads, playing Dou Dizhu (a card ga).
"Pair of fours!"
"Four eights!" Monkey slamd the cards down.
Zhu Bajie looked up in astonishnt and said, "Brother Monkey, are you sure? I have a pair of fours."
Sun Wukong chuckled slyly, "No mistake, I’ve got four eights."
Zhu Bajie hesitated, unsure of the monkey’s tactics. Should he play a big hand right at the start? What if Sun Wukong indeed has good cards? But what if this was a bluff? Wouldn’t he be at a loss then?
"Great Saint~" Suddenly, a voice echoed Between Heaven and Earth.
Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing looked up only to see a Buddha Light illuminating above the clouds, with an auspicious cloud appearing that bore three Buddhas - Bright Buddha, Qing Guang Buddha, and White Light Buddha.
Zhu Bajie imdiately tossed his cards aside, stood up grinning, and said, "It turns out to be the Buddha coming down. My apologies for not welcoming you from afar. Please forgive us!"
Sun Wukong and Sha Wujing also threw down their cards and stood up.
Sun Wukong rode up on a cloud to be level with the three Buddhas and, tiptoeing, chuckled, "What brings the Buddhas here?"
Bright Buddha’s majestic voice bood, "Guanyin Bodhisattva ntioned that the Sutra Taker, Tang Sanzang, has been captured by the Demon King of Jilei Mountain, and commanded us to rescue him."
"It’s not really a capture. He’s just visiting, and he’ll return in a couple of days."
Qing Guang Buddha brought his hands together calmly and said, "Great Saint, please lead us to rescue the Sutra Taker."
Sun Wukong’s eyes flickered, and he chirped jovially, "Sure, sure. Bajie, Wu Jing, let’s go get our Master back."
"Alright~"
"Sure, big brother!"
Zhu Bajie and Sha Wujing also rose upon clouds, and the group headed towards the West.
...
Inside a side hall of the Sky Scraping Cave on Jilei Mountain, Bull Demon King sat on his throne, feeling sowhat helpless. Where had that little rascal taken Tang Sanzang? He hadn’t learned other skills, but his talent for hiding was truly self-taught. Could he have gone back to Cuiyun Mountain? Or has he already been captured by Buddhism?
Outside the hall, Lady Jade Face slowly approached, her expression sowhat troubled. She had searched every nook and cranny of Jilei Mountain but found no trace of Tang Sanzang, stirring a wave of anxiety within her. Could it be that this Old Niu planned to monopolize Tang Sanzang? It wasn’t beyond the realm of possibility; after all, who wouldn’t want immortality?
As she reached the entrance of the hall, Lady Jade Face quickly put on a cheerful face, sashayed into the cave, sidled up to Bull Demon King, and nestled in his embrace, smiling affectionately, "Congratulations, great king, for acquiring Tang Sanzang. Immortality is within touching distance."
