2. Yifu complaints about his natal evil spirit has been broken by a "mortal-in-disguise", requesting his master to take vengeance in his state. His master replenish/repair his natal spirit.
3. Yifu said he was chasing a "thief" (Xu Tao) from the prince mansion and found him to have accomplices outside, using the "mortal-in-disguise" as shield to injure him (LOL asshole disciple), so he had to escape otherwise his master won't be able to see him anymore.
3. They both decided to take a walk and visit about this "mortal-in-disguise".
4. The other disciples scoffs off as they said none of what Yifu saying is true. And the master always favors him regardless, and treating him like a spoil brat/son.

2. Xu Tao blamed the rain caudron, saying that the prince accidentally obtain a treasure called Yuding. It was said the folk treasures must be handed over. The prince was betrayed by a traitor when the prince hid it away. And the news reached Zhou Wutai's ears; and an order to kill the prince was sent. The prince offer to return the cauldron but couldn't escape death penalty. All allies refuses to aid the prince. So Xu Tao had no choice but to ask Wang Lin's aid on the matter.
3. As Xu Tao about to leave, Zhou Wutai and Yifu arrived at Wang Lin's shop.
4. Zhou Wutai have a drink with Wang Lin while unleashing his intent realm. Wang Lin understood his artistic conception about raising Yifu like a son, only to have him killed in hundred years later. (LOL, that sounds like Thanos sacrificing his daughter for his gain).
5. Zhou Wutai was shocked with his understanding.
6. Xu Tao was also surprised to hear Wang Lin's saying so few words, and able to prevent Zhou Wutai pursuit against the royals. Because everyone tried but failed.

*Lycoris
Scarlet flowers usually bloom near cemeteries around the autumnal equinox, they are described in Chinese and Japanese translations of the Lotus Sutra as ominous flowers that grow in Diyu (also known as Hell), or pinyin: Huángquán (traditional Chinese: 黃泉; simplified Chinese: 黄泉), and guide the dead into the next reincarnation.

When the flowers of Lycoris bloom, their leaves would have fallen; when their leaves grow, the flowers would have wilted. This habit gave rise to various legends. A famous one is the legend of two elves: Mañju (曼珠; Mànzhū), who guarded the flower, and Saka (沙華; 沙华; Shāhuá), who guarded the leaves. Out of curiosity, they defied their fate of guarding the herb alone and managed to meet each other. At first sight, they fell in love with each other. God, exasperated by their waywardness, separated the miserable couple, and laid a curse on them as a punishment: the flowers of Mañju shall never meet the leaves of Saka again.

It was said that when the couple met after death in Diyu, they vowed to meet each other after reincarnation. However, neither of them could keep their word.

In commemoration of the couple, some call the herbs "mañjusaka" (曼珠沙華; 曼珠沙华), a compound of "mañju" and "saka", instead of their standard name, shísuàn (石蒜). The same kanji name is used in Japanese, where it is pronounced manju-shage.

Some other legends have it that when a person sees someone that they may never meet again, these flowers would bloom along the path. Perhaps because of these sorrowful legends, Japanese people often used these flowers in funerals. The common Japanese name for Lycoris, higanbana (彼岸花), is literally "higan (the far shore of the Sanzu River) flower", or a decorative flower of the afterlife in Sukhavati (極楽浄土, Gokuraku Jyōdo).
