「Another day passed.」
Xu Lei returned to the mountains near the old farmer's orchard.
After bidding the old farmer farewell that day, the man had invited Xu Lei to his home for a visit. But Xu Lei refused, saying the matter of the Demon Spirits was urgent, lest the Spirit Monsters harm anyone. He claimed he had to return at once to ask Living Buddha Hui Chi to come over. Then, Xu Lei turned and left.
But in reality, he hadn't returned to the temple. He only pretended to leave. Midway there, after entering the city, he found an opportunity in a crowd to activate his Human Skin Mask, changing his appearance and shaking off all unwanted attention. By the time he returned, Xu Lei no longer looked like a Monk. Instead, he was disguised as a passing Jianghu Wanderer.
