Chen Ping'an returned to the lakeside corridor. After sitting down, he noticed that Zhang Shanfeng wasn't present. He asked Xu Yuanxia about this, and the big-bearded martial artist joked around and said that the young Daoist priest had met a beautiful young lady, and the two of them had decided to go on a night adventure together.
Liu Gaohua started to make things up along this line as well. Chen Ping'an naturally didn't believe them. However, there was a strange look in his eyes as he looked at the face of Liu Gaohua, the only son of the prefectural overseer. There couldn't be such coincidental matters in the world, could there? After hesitating for a moment, he asked, "Do you have any married sisters?"
Liu Gaohua was baffled by the question, and he replied, "No, I don't. I have an older sister and a younger sister, but just like me, neither of them are married yet.

The old immortal answered their questions adeptly, and the two officials felt especially relaxed and refreshed as they spoke with him. While they were chatting, a young man who looked to be from a noble family walked over and begged the old immortal to take him as a disciple. However, the stewards and a few servants from the residence immediately came over to drag him away.
Zhang Shanfeng returned a bit later than Chen Ping'an, and he breathed a big sigh of relief when he saw his companion sitting safe and sound in the corridor. "I thought you fell into the toilet," he joked.
Chen Ping'an was unwilling to reveal the battle on the street, so he replied in a low voice, "I couldn't find the toilet, but I was too embarrassed to ask the steward of the residence for its location. So, I decided to sneak away to a quiet place where there...
