"Look, Little Luo, just look! That icy Taoist Maiden is so friendly. Young Madam Shangguan can't compare to her there. It really is true-Young Madam Shangguan would cripple every young lady who could get close to you."
Fourth Master Gray squeaked again.
Luo Bin had been about to tear up the Spirit-Inviting Talisman. Fourth Master Gray rambled far too much. He really could be helpful in many situations, but when it came to this, he and Old Gong were two peas in a pod.
How did Luo Xianshen put up with him?
Were Taoists better at letting things go in one ear and out the other?
Just then, Fourth Master Gray squeaked twice more, meaning, "Poor Young Madam Shangguan, living in Black City Monastery. Who knows if they'll force her to eat snakes and rats? Still, Fourth Master can forgive him. Good thing that little bastard Kong An turned into a hairless brat, still wet behind the ears and unable to get it up. Otherwise, she'd really be suffering."
"What, Little Luo? You're dragging your feet rescuing people, and now you can't even stand Fourth Master saying a few words?"
"Of course, Fourth Master knows you can't hold everything up alone. Little Xu and Young Madam Shangguan certainly won't blame you."
"But you have to listen! Unpleasant words are the ones you need to hear. Isn't that better than waiting until it's too late, when even regret won't help?"
Luo Bin's eyelids twitched. His fingers froze, and he did not tear the talisman.

"That's right." Si Yan
