Abbot Fangzheng's Impending Misfortune

"Little Lin, it's a pity your brother isn't here." Linghu Chong spoke in hushed tones, his eyes going vacant for a moment.

Lu Dayou had left Mount Hua not long ago and seemed to have no intention of returning.

He had left behind only a monkey and his younger sister, who had newly joined Mount Hua.

At first, Linghu Chong had intended to care for her only as a younger sister, but his grandfather's hints, the way she looked at him, and the resemblance between her features and Six Monkeys' had inadvertently pushed him past that boundary.
