But he knew that fifteen-year-old boys were the most unwilling when it came to the persuasion of an elder, not to mention that Chang Geng was not his own. The old butler did not dare to interfere with his life too much; thus, he went to convince Ge Pang Xiao and Cao Niangzi to be on his side.

When Cao Niangzi heard this, his eyes widened to the point of causing the eyeshadow on his lids to fall off; he said in anger: "What? The bald donkey wants to trick my big brother Chang Geng into becoming a monk?"

Men with good appearance were as rare as a phoenix's feather and a dragon's horn. Marshal Gu immediately left, not even his shadow could be seen now. He only had Chang Geng around him, and Chang Geng, even after hitting this age, still had no signs of him becoming unsightly - this was already very hard to find, but now there was also the danger of him becoming a bald head. Immediately, Cao Niangzi became an ally of the old butler.

The next day, he deliberately put on men's clothing and insisted on coming with Chang Geng to see the holy scenery of Buddhism. As he left, he rolled up his sleeves and made a 'determined to succeed' gesture to a pair of puppets in front of the door.

The puppet was not human; it could only stare at his strange walking posture in a daze.

However, when he came back from Hu Guo Temple that night, Cao Niangzi never mentioned the matter of 'forcing the bewitching monk to reveal his true form'. Since then, he had abandoned his side, joining the opposite team to listen to Buddha's teaching every day. The reason could be no other than 'the bewitching monk was simply too handsome'.

Although Marshal was handsome as well, unfortunately, he was quite aggressive and could not sit quietly for others to appreciate. But Master Liao Ran was different; Cao Niangzi thought that he was simply a lotus strolling in this world, if placed in a pond, he could be immortalized for generations. Just taking one look at the man could make him happy for days.

The old butler could not figure out what spell the monk had given to the two boys and had to go and find Ge Pang Xiao.

Ge Pang Xiao could not refuse a righteous cause; he followed along with them.

A few days later, Ge Pang Xiao also changed sides.

Because Master Liao Ran, aside from reading Buddha's scriptures, was also very proficient and knowledgeable about a wide variety of puppets and other Ziliujin-powered machines, Ge Pang Xiao even met people from Ling Shu Institute at his place.

The boy who longed to board the Giant Kite flying to the sky even in his dreams, directly knelt under Buddha's feet without a second word.
