Hearing the words of the Taoist Practitioner, the scholar immediately looked conflicted. He couldn't help asking himself in his heart whether he was truly enamored with their physical forms or genuinely fond of them as persons. It took him a full half-an-hour of quiet reflection before he finally raised his head, looked at Shen Ping, and said, "I beg the Taoist Practitioner to help them reincarnate, and hopefully we shall meet again in the next life."
Shen Ping chuckled. The scholar certainly proved to be a man of deep affection, so he said, "Tonight, have them manifest so we can hear their own thoughts on the matter."
The scholar slapped his forehead. "Ah, right, right! We must also have Ling'er and the others agree to this."
