101, 102. Waves and clouds shift mysteriously, Divine Soul gathers substance for Manifestation (Thanks to alliance leader 'Boole')

Wang Tianchuan and Gao Lin did not visit Pearl Mountain Taoist Temple to pay respects to Song Cheng and Miss An, rather they dressed as if they had just escaped back from the canal, going to the An Residence, where Old Master An, who nominally steered the An Residence at the present, punished them.

However, the punishment was only superficial, merely to establish that "these two were unable to endure hardship, having heard of the An family's prosperity, and the impending Ghost Tide, so they covertly ran back on their own." Should anyone else say something like "the two were ordered to do something," that would count as spreading rumors, creating trouble, and opposing the An family.

Secretly, cultivation techniques, resources, and a great deal of money were given to the two men.

Even Gao Lin's wife was thus assigned to a position at the An household which was both "flavorful and easy."

The An family never mistreated its meritorious servants.

Contributions were always rewarded.
