Having said that, Qin Shou seemed to remember something and glared at the Daoist boy, saying, "Don’t come to annoy me again, or I’ll make you eat my dust!"

After speaking, Qin Shou snatched the broken sword from the Daoist boy, stuffed it into his mouth in a few bites, and ate it... Then, smacking his lips, he said, "This thing is okay as a snack, but as a weapon, it’s kind of a waste of material. I’ve taken care of it for you, so no need to thank me."

While talking, Qin Shou once again clung to the Immortal Crane’s leg; he then took out a rope and, after some winding and unraveling, coupled with a bunch of useless items, he reassembled them into a hammock. He hung the hammock on the Immortal Crane’s leg, settled himself in, stretched languidly with satisfaction, and yawned, saying, "Ah... how comfortable..."

The Daoist boy looked at the Rabbit below with great grievance, thinking to himself, "When we get to the sect, I’m going to tell Master!"

Then, with a long cry, the Immortal Crane turned and flew away.

Many did not understand why the Rabbit gave up blackmail and extortion halfway and shamelessly concocted various far-fetched reasons to insistently follow the Stone Monkey.

But the Rabbit knew in his heart that the Stone Monkey’s master was a Saint!

To follow a Saint in cultivation was an opportunity of a lifetime!

So he had to follow no matter what!

Lying in the hammock, Qin Shou dreamed sweet dreams. In the dream, he succeeded in becoming a disciple, finally obtaining a cultivation technique; he roamed the heavens and the earth, became invincible, frolicked around with Chang’e... It seemed that in the end, they even had a litter of little rabbits...

Then, Qin Shou suddenly shivered and exclaimed in surprise, "Why is it a rabbit?"

Qin Shou then awoke...

At this moment, the Immortal Crane was flying over a vast expanse of blue waves. The ocean stretched to the horizon, and in the sky hung a massive moon, under which the Milky Way shone brightly and fantastically. The beauty of the scenery left Qin Shou feeling refreshed and elated...

Meanwhile, in the West Niuhe Continent, on Fangcun Mountain, two consciousnesses quietly collided and communicated with each other.

"Taking the initiative to accept disciples?" someone asked.

"Mhm."

"Why?"

"Ah... The fates are in chaos. If we don’t act soon, I’m afraid we won’t be able to accept this disciple... After waiting so many years, wouldn’t all be lost at the last moment?"

"Taking the initiative to accept disciples seems a bit undignified."

"Being undignified is better than losing a disciple..."

"Your disciple has returned, but it seems he has brought some trouble with him."

"Let me have a look..."

...

"Finally home," the Daoist boy, seeing the familiar surroundings, felt as if he might cry. Only ghosts knew what he had been through the previous night; that thieving rabbit below had indulged in a night full of delicacies! It made him drool with envy, and he didn’t even get a taste!

"Master, I’ve brought the person! I also brought along a good-for-nothing, and you have to stand up for your disciple!"

As soon as the Daoist boy landed, he took off running toward the front. There was a platform ahead with a Daoist seated upon it, wearing homespun clothes, cloud-treading shoes, and holding a scroll silently reading.

This person, at first glance, seemed like a Buddha seated on the platform, yet upon closer inspection, he resembled a Confucian scholar engrossed in reading. Yet, his attire was that of a Daoist... A single person possessing three different auras. Logically, this combination should be incredibly awkward, yet these three auras blended harmoniously and naturally on him as if it were simply meant to be.

Beneath the platform, thirty-four disciples were quietly standing in rows to the left and right, all extending their necks to listen to the lecture.

The Daoist boy ran all the way to the base of the platform, bowed, and then called out, "Master, I have brought the Stone Monkey as you requested. But a shameless rabbit has also followed!"

The Daoist boy had already thought of countless ways to complain during his journey. He envisioned watching his master slap this rabbit dead with his own hand! But when he actually saw his master, the words reached his lips, and the intention to recount all of the rabbit’s misdeeds vanished, replaced by the memory of the rabbit handing him a tissue...

The words he spoke changed, losing their sharpness, and he forgot to tell on the Rabbit.

The Daoist didn’t speak but slightly lifted his eyelids to look in the direction of the Immortal Crane.

At that moment, the Stone Monkey came forward and, paying respects, asked the Daoist, "I want to learn invincible magic; can you teach me?"

The Daoist smiled and asked, "Do you know who I am?"

The Stone Monkey shook his head and said, "Who it is doesn’t matter, what’s important is whether they can teach me invincible magic."

The disciples around him heard this and immediately burst into laughter...

Someone chuckled, "You monkey head, before you stands the Subhuti Patriarch; among the three thousand great Dao, he is unsurpassed. If you speak of invincibility, of course, you can learn it!"

"Monkey head, you haven’t even begun cultivation, yet your ambition is not small."

"The path of cultivation must be approached step by step; to be invincible right after starting? No one in heaven or on earth can achieve that."

"Haha... Be humble, be humble..."

...

Upon hearing these words, the Stone Monkey’s face turned slightly red, but he still looked determinedly at the Subhuti Patriarch.

The Subhuti Patriarch said, "Why do you wish to learn invincible magic?"

The Stone Monkey clenched his fists and said, "I don’t want to be bullied, nor do I want others to be bullied because of me."

The Subhuti Patriarch nodded slightly and said, "Remember what you’ve said today. You want to learn invincible magic only so you won’t be bullied, not to bully others. Have you got that?"

The Stone Monkey nodded and said, "I’ve got it."

"Then become my disciple," said the Subhuti Patriarch.

The Stone Monkey consented, and someone passed over some tea. Songguo whispered the rules of apprenticing to the Stone Monkey, who was incredibly smart and understood instantly. He was just about to perform the discipleship rites when suddenly, an annoying voice rang out: "Ah—ha, have I arrived? Oh my, such a big crowd to welcome me, how embarrassing, how embarrassing... sorry to keep everyone waiting."

Then, to the bewildered faces of the crowd and their astonished stares, a fat Rabbit waddled into the middle of the gathering.

"What is this thing?"

"Is that a Rabbit?"

"It’s so fat? What did it eat to grow like that?"

"Didn’t the master say to fetch a monkey?"

"Why has a rabbit come instead?"

"This Rabbit has such a thick skin, who invited him?"

"Really..."

...

Songguo was also taken aback and, with a darkened face, approached and said, "Rabbit, this is Fangcun Mountain’s Three Stars Cave, you must not be disrespectful!"

Even though Qin Shou had known long ago where this was, he still felt a small surprise when he was sure of it. Standing on tiptoes, craning his neck upward, he looked at the Subhuti Patriarch on the high platform and grinned from ear to ear.

Then, Qin Shou unabashedly said, "Patriarch, count me in for discipleship, why don’t you?"

"Pfft!"

Upon hearing these words, everyone burst out.

Even the Subhuti Patriarch seated high above was at a loss for words...

Is this how you ask to be a disciple? Do you think this is like shopping for vegetables? Is it a buy one, get one free deal? Buy a bundle of Jiucai and get one free, is that the idea?

And to say "count me in"...

Songguo just covered his face, completely speechless at this Rabbit’s audacity.

Meanwhile, Qin Shou still maintained his cute and annoying demeanor, looking at the Subhuti Patriarch.

The Subhuti Patriarch cleared his throat and took a deep breath, then said, "Rabbit, you and I have no fate, it’s best you leave quickly."
