Speaking of which, back when Monkey Brother was at his most difficult point, when he wanted help more than anything, Daoist Bodhi had shown absolutely no intention of appearing.
After all, this fairy maiden was not such a heartless being.
When it mattered, I could still step forward.
Hearing their disciple being so fond of lecturing others now, the Three Pure Ones could only find it amusing.
Daoist Bodhi of the original trajectory had seemed good in every possible way, but that had ultimately all been Buddha Mother Zhunti's handiwork. Qingqing might now appear to be his master as well, yet she viewed him through such a powerful filter that she called him Monkey Brother in her heart.
The two naturally could not be compared.
When it mattered, their disciple would still take action.
"Master, you're here!"
Sun Wukong had been in the Ferocious Beast Calamity for a long time. This was his first time seeing his master. He had led the monkey troop in their struggle here, and his fighting spirit had never rested for even a moment.
Now, the instant he saw his master, he could finally set his mind at ease.
But relaxed as he was, he still had to say what needed to be said quickly.
"Master, I plan to take all these monkeys behind me back with me. Is there a way?"
Though I had a feeling Monkey Brother would want to take the entire monkey troop with him after becoming their king, I hadn't expected it to really happen.
When Monkey Brother had been at the Water Curtain Cave on Flower-Fruit Mountain, he had also been fiercely loyal to the monkey troop. When he crossed names off the Book of Life and Death, he had crossed off every monkey's name.
