Rulai: Forget It, Let's Make Peace (2)

"Enough!" Rulai shouted softly, carrying a trace of the Buddhist Lion's Roar Skill's power. The hall buzzed from the force, finally bringing the two men's argument to a halt.

He rubbed his brow, feeling that being the Buddha Ancestor was truly exhausting. Every one of these Bodhisattvas under him was as shrewd as a monkey... Well, they were dealing with a monkey right now.

"Since Bodhisattva Manjushri fears old entanglements with the Chan Sect, and the Future Buddha worries that his methods may be too forceful..." Rulai pondered for a moment, his gaze sweeping across everyone in the hall. "Then, Venerable Guanyin."

Guanyin, who had been watching her nose and her heart, trying to make herself as inconspicuous as possible, felt her heart skip a beat. She stepped forward helplessly. "Buddha Ancestor."

"Your reputation in the mortal world is the greatest, you are skilled at mediation, and you have some ties of faith with every side. More importantly, the willow branch in your Jade Pure Bottle contains boundless vitality. It can be firm or gentle, capable of restraining others without harming them. You will make a trip to Flower-Fruit Mountain and speak with Yuan Hong... first." Rulai made the final decision, choosing to send Guanyin to negotiate peace.

Afterward, he sent a voice transmission to Yun Ting. "Junior Brother Yun Ting, I've mostly arranged things. I'll have Guanyin go to Flower-Fruit Mountain to discuss terms with Yuan Hong later. Tell Yuan Hong to extort them ruthlessly."

On Yingzhou Island, inside the Guardian God Hall, Yun Ting received Rulai's voice transmission and thought, *Well, damn. I was planning to have them send a Quasi-Saint to fight that kid Yuan Hong, so he could get some proper tempering. But those two old foxes, Maitreya and Randeng, won't make a move at all.
