Ye Yang had spent years cultivating in the depths of the Ten Thousand Mountains, mastering his master’s supreme techniques to perfection. Then one day, his master said:
“Disciple, it’s time for you to go down the mountain.”
Ye Yang: “Master, why are you sending me down all of a sudden? Have you arranged a few marriages for me, and now you want me to go get myself a wife?”
“No, you eat too much. I can’t quite afford to keep you anymore.”
