During the Journey to the West Tribulation.
Guanyin Bodhisattva was an excellent project manager. She had overseen the development of the Journey to the West project from beginning to end, ensuring its successful completion.
Of course...
She had her own little schemes as well.
She had reaped quite a few benefits along the way. For instance, of the three tightening headbands Tathagata gave her, Guanyin had directly pocketed two, using them to subdue Black Bear Spirit and Red Boy!
In any case, the job would get done.
But she could not go without the benefits she deserved!
Seeing Haotian's amused expression at this moment, Guanyin Bodhisattva instantly adjusted her attitude. Though Tathagata had sent her to investigate the anomaly...
She should not have been the anxious one!
If there was a project, she would work on it.
If there was no project, she would merely receive less merit.
The ones who should truly be anxious were the project's initiator, Tathagata. Even Haotian had a share in it... What right did he have to laugh at her?
With that thought.
Guanyin Bodhisattva's expression grew increasingly calm. Faced with Zhao Gongming's provocation, she simply withdrew her gaze and ignored him...
Seeing this.
Haotian muttered inwardly:
What is going on?
Is she really that afraid of Zhao Gongming?
She does not even care about the overall course of the Journey to the West anymore?
That should not be the case. Zhao Gongming was indeed somewhat overbearing, wealthy, powerful, and backed by a background as formidable as Mount Buzhou.
But he was officially employed now...
He would not act recklessly.
Yet what astonished Haotian even more was that throughout the ensuing banquet, no matter how he hinted or tried to stir things up, Guanyin Bodhisattva said nothing. She silently observed like a recording device.
