The two loved to joke around and play tricks on each other, delighting in each other's embarrassment. Wasn't this a case of like minds thinking alike?
It wasn't surprising that Uncle Ninth had repeatedly warned Xu Yan before leaving to take his training seriously and not to emulate his uncle's scatterbrained nature. Nor to follow in his footsteps of fooling around all day and neglecting important matters. Uncle Ninth seemed to understand that his junior martial brother had depth.
Perhaps it was only when facing Uncle Ninth that Master Four Eyes could behave seriously.
Chuckling and shaking his head, Xu Yan retreated to his room to rest, while Jiale continued to tidy up his mess and, by the way, pondered how to court a woman.
As night fell, the sound of chanting drifted in from the next room, causing Xu Yan, who was practicing his martial arts, to furrow his brow. It was indeed noisy. No wonder Master Four Eyes had lost his temper and couldn't resist pranking the other, resulting in his own belly getting "enlarged."
Chanting aside, the accompanying noise from whatever that annoying gadget was made it impossible for Xu Yan to continue his practice. He had to give up.
Using his spiritual energy to block his ears, he buried his head under the covers. As for the love story between Master Four Eyes and the Great Master, he didn't intend to interfere. Let them fend for themselves.
"So loud!!!"
Unsurprisingly, Master Four Eyes went ballistic. The master's incessant chanting had kept him awake almost all night. Just like in the movies, he had assembled a set of tools—coconut shells, small bowls, cotton, wicks, and more—but none of them could block out the Great Master's chanting. The power of the Great Master's chanting was truly formidable.
Those not accustomed to it couldn't bear it.
Xu Yan's choice was the right one: block his ears with spiritual energy and let them fend for themselves while he slept.
Poor Master Four Eyes couldn't do that and had to endure.
"Uncle, what's wrong with you?"
The next day, Xu Yan saw Master Four Eyes, nearly exhausted, walking back from the bathroom, with Jiale attending to him on the side.
"Hmph! I was messed up by that old monk next door! I'm so angry!"
Master Four Eyes groaned softly and slumped to the ground, shouting at Jiale, "What are you standing there for? Go make breakfast. Your master's stomach has been empty for the whole night!"
"Uncle, take it easy and don't move."
Xu Yan wanted to laugh but felt it wasn't kind. He struggled to suppress his laughter, causing Master Four Eyes to roll his eyes, "Laugh if you want! Why hold it in? I'm not like your master, who doesn't know how to be flexible."
"Puhaha~~~"
You asked me to laugh, and I really couldn't resist.
You really didn't give your uncle any face, did you?!!
Master Four Eyes's face darkened, looking helplessly at Xu Yan, who was almost unsteady on his feet, and asked in exasperation, "Didn't you get disturbed last night?"
"No, not at all!!"
Xu Yan laughed so hard that his stomach ached. Rubbing his stomach, he pointed to his ear, "The Thunder Mantra has a special explanation on the use of spiritual energy, so I can use it to block my ears and sleep peacefully without hearing anything."
"......"
This was just unfair!
You're a Earth Master, and I am too. Why could you sleep peacefully while I, as your uncle, was driven to distraction?
"Master!! You're biased!!"
Master Four Eyes felt like crying but couldn't shed a tear. Why hadn't such a wonderful technique been taught to him?
"Uncle, don't blame our ancestor. Even if he taught you this technique, you couldn't practice it!
So, just endure it, and you'll get used to it, right?"
Xu Yan sympathized with his uncle and comforted him. So what if it was just a monk chanting? Endure it and it will pass.
"Don't even try!!"
Master Four Eyes waved his hand, unhappy, "As my nephew, you don't even help me but just go to sleep. Jiale is unreliable. Alas, boys grow up and leave home."
"Dong!!"
Jiale, who had just reached the doorway, bumped into the doorframe upon hearing this, looking at his master with a mournful expression.
Having the master chant incessantly wasn't a solution, and Xu Yan couldn't keep blocking his ears with spiritual energy forever. Thinking for a moment, Xu Yan's eyes lit up, and he lowered his voice to Master Four Eyes, "Uncle, you could do this......"
Xu Yan then began to advise Master Four Eyes.
"Will it work? That old monk has a thick skin!!"
Master Four Eyes looked skeptical, thinking that Xu Yan's idea might not be feasible.
Opening his palm, Xu Yan said helplessly, "It's up to you, uncle. It doesn't bother me."
"Let's do it!!"
If he could just rest well, what was the harm in enduring it with a thick skin for a while?
To deal with someone like the Great Master, brute force couldn't be used; otherwise, the rebound would be even worse. Only by making him consciously restrain himself would it work.
That night, Master Four Eyes, Jiale, and Xu Yan carried their quilts to the next room and threw them on the ground, making it clear that they intended to stay there.
The Great Master looked confused, staring at the three of them, "Four Eyes, what are you......"
"Monk, you chant all day and keep us awake. We have to come chat with you. Seize the moment, because soon I'll move out, and you won't even have someone to talk to."
Master Four Eyes angrily rolled up his quilt.
"Move out?!"
The Great Master was taken aback and asked, "Why are you moving out?"
