"Cough, cough, cough..."
Hearing Bai's words, Xie Mengwu, who had just taken a sip of fruit wine, turned her head and began coughing violently, her face flushing bright red.
Yao Ziyue and the others likewise widened their eyes, clearly deeply affected by the news.
"Um, what did you say the monk's name was?" Yao Ziyue wanted to make sure she had not misheard.
"Shi Kong." Though Bai found their reactions a little strange, she still answered Yao Ziyue seriously.
Yao Ziyue took a deep breath, then slowly let it out.

"You know Mount Sumeru in the Western Regions, right?" Qing Yuan asked.
Bai nodded lightly. Of course she had heard of it. Across the entire Tianlan Continent, Mount Sumeru's reputation was quite resounding.
As the Buddhist Sect's sacred land for the whole continent, even ordinary people had heard of it.

Because of certain matters, the Buddhist Lord voluntarily resigned from his position and handed it over to his junior brother, Wu Tian."
Bai's eyes gradually widened, and her mouth fell slightly open.
She had thought the monk's identity would not truly be that of an ordinary little monk as he claimed,
