After listening to Lin Qiye's explanation, Jinian let out a helpless sigh.
"Good thing Gilgamesh's root cause has been eliminated. His recovery should be relatively quick from here on... But what exactly is going on with that Yelander?"
"I don't know. I still haven't found his root cause, and we simply can't communicate." Lin Qiye shook his head.
"...What a headache."
As the two chatted, the Monkey King sat silently to one side. From time to time, he glanced at Jinian from the corner of his eye, as if contemplating something.
"Monkey Brother, what's wrong?" Noticing the Monkey King's unusual behavior, Lin Qiye took the initiative to ask.
After pausing for a moment, the Monkey King said to Jinian:
"You are very special."
"Thank you for the compliment, Great Sage!" Jinian's eyes sparkled like stars.
"...Are you sure he was complimenting you?"
"But the Great Sage said I was very special! Doesn't that count as a compliment?"
Lin Qiye was momentarily speechless. He turned to the Monkey King. "Monkey Brother, what did you see?"
"She is very strong. Though she has not become a god, she is still very strong by human standards." Golden light flickered in the Monkey King's eyes as he spoke seriously. "Even I cannot quite see through her..."
Jinian scratched her head somewhat bashfully.
"That counts as a compliment, right?"
"...It does."
The Monkey King scrutinized Jinian for a long while before finally withdrawing his gaze.
"When are you returning to Great Xia?" The Monkey King turned to Lin Qiye and asked.
After giving it some thought, Lin Qiye said, "I can't go back for now. At the very least, I need to return to Utopia and meet up with my brothers, then find the Sword Saint... It'll probably take a few more days."
