I train Batman in a horror world

"Junior brother, you have quite the refined taste, taking a foreign child as your disciple."

"Just a nominal disciple, senior brother."

After hearing what Bruce said, Uncle Nine's gaze subconsciously fell on the disciple behind the eldest brother.

Puffy eyes, pale complexion, unsteady posture...

Those who cultivate the Tao have an appearance that reflects their inner state.

You can guess pretty much what's inside that skin without even having to do any calculations.

Uncle Nine withdrew his gaze, sighing inwardly, wondering how this senior brother had taught his disciple.

"Junior brother, I still don't know your little disciple's name, or if he has a Daoist name?"

The eldest brother's secular name was Shi Jian, and following behind him was his son, who was also his disciple, named Shi Shaojian.

Shi Jian noticed that Bruce's azure eyes were staring at him without flinching, and couldn't help but look at him a few more times.

"Bruce, Bruce Wayne, Taoist name... I haven't decided yet."

Bruce calmed himself down and gave his senior uncle a brief introduction.

Having experienced the previous patriarch's situation, he certainly wouldn't question the other party's apprentice in front of him about why he was surrounded by resentment.

He dressed himself up like a child who was a little nervous when meeting his elders.

"How about your senior master bestows upon you a Taoist name?" Shi Jian asked.

"I don't think we need to trouble you, senior brother. Actually, my disciple has a Taoist name, but the boy feels it's a bit embarrassing to say it out loud," Uncle Nine said quickly, noticing Bruce's hesitation.

Bruce was frantically pecking at rice like a chicken nearby.

In the past, he might have agreed.

But now.

He doesn't want the other party to give him a Taoist name!

"Oh, you have a Taoist name? What's it?" Shi Jian asked curiously.

"bat."

"...?"

Shi Jian said regretfully, "Why did you choose such a Taoist name?!"

His son, Shi Shaojian, standing behind him, laughed and said, "Master, I think it's quite suitable. Bats are so timid; they just look scary."

Shi Jian did not respond to his son's words, but instead gave his Ninth Uncle a deep look.

"As the saying goes, education should be provided to all without discrimination. I won't say much since you've taken on a foreign disciple, but you should still teach him the proper manners."

"Senior brother is right."

Uncle Nine had known his eldest brother for a long time and knew his personality very well, so he just kept nodding in agreement.

The eldest disciple seemed to have come here simply to show off his status. After chatting for a short while, he led his disciple away.

Before leaving, he reminded everyone: "You must not be careless when it comes to catching ghosts."

"I understand, senior brother."

After they left.

Bruce immediately said, "Uncle Nine, you saw the resentment clinging to Master Uncle's disciple, didn't you?!"

Uncle Nine sighed and said, "I saw it."

Bruce asked, puzzled, "Since you can see it, Uncle Nine, there's no reason why you can't see it, Master Uncle. What did they do to create such a strong resentment?"

Uncle Nine remained silent for a moment.

Bruce and Fall spent several months together at the mortuary, and Uncle Nine had already figured out the boy's personality.

On the bright side, it means having a righteous and steadfast heart, the kind of person who will stand up for what is right when they see injustice.

On the other hand... it could be considered meddling.

This kind of personality will definitely cause him a lot of trouble in the future.

Some things and some people are simply things that don't concern you and that you don't need to worry about.

But Bruce won't.

He just wanted to take charge.

I just want to go....

help?

"I don't understand how my senior brother taught his disciple either. I'll talk to him about it after this is over."

"..."

Bruce wasn't entirely satisfied with Uncle Nine's answer.

But he also understood why Uncle Nine said that.

After that, he and his two senior brothers were assigned to go to a nearby town to collect ghosts.

On the road.

A bat monster has suddenly appeared!

"Ugh, I'm so suffocated! That's the worst thing about this world—a bunch of Taoist priests are going to keep bothering me. It's so annoying!"

Seeing Bruce deep in thought, Foul, recalling what had just happened, couldn't help but ask:

"What's wrong? Don't you understand why Uncle Nine isn't confronting the other party directly?"

"No, I understand how Uncle Nine feels." Bruce shook his head.

Having experienced the upbringing of Mr. Ren, Bruce knew very well that some things were not as simple as they seemed.

"So what are you thinking about?" Foul asked curiously.

"..."

Bruce stopped in his tracks.

The two senior brothers, Wencai and Qiusheng, who were walking ahead, were carrying two loads of tofu, chatting and laughing, completely forgetting that their junior brother had stopped in place.

Bruce sighed, "I know there are good people in the world, and there are bad people too. It's not as simple as it seems."

Upon hearing this, Foul immediately perked up.

"So you're saying the world is neither black nor white, but a delicate shade of gray?!"

"Bruce, you're practically a bard!"

"..."

Upon hearing this, Bruce's forehead creased with annoyance. He said helplessly, "What I meant was that I'm willing to accept all the unfairness and injustice that may seem to exist."

Fowle raised an eyebrow: "But you won't condone their existence like Gotham did?"

"That's right!"

Bruce's eyes showed a determined look. "If I couldn't stop it in the first place, I'm willing to spend more time changing things later."

"The resentment emanating from my master's disciple is genuine; it's real. Although I don't understand why it exists, I'm going to investigate!"

Foul looked around, then whispered, "Actually, you could just say you're spying on people. There are no outsiders here."

"You're so annoying!"

Bruce thought he had mastered the art of self-control, but every time, Fowler managed to provoke him again!

How annoying, Holmes!

Not at all like Fu Bao!

"But didn't Uncle Nine say that after he finishes exorcising the ghost, he will personally tell Senior Brother about it?" Fu Er said, shaking his head.

Bruce shook his head and said firmly, "It's different. Uncle Nine has two different personalities when he's dealing with people and when he's dealing with ghosts."

"And simply saying it isn't enough to solve the problem. Uncle Jiu can remind Master Uncle, but what if Master Uncle himself is unwilling to take care of it, or what if he's completely unaware that his disciple is entangled in resentment?"

Fu Er excitedly said, "In other words, you have to take care of things that Uncle Nine can't handle, and you also have to take care of things that Senior Brother can't handle. In short, you have to take care of things you can't control, and you have to take care of things you can control even more!"

"..."

Bruce rolled his eyes, thinking it wasn't as exaggerated as Fowle had made it out to be.

He just felt that there were definitely many people like his master and his disciple.

There must be many people like him in Gotham, where he lives.

He came into this world specifically to train and stop Gotham from condoning such behavior!
