She believed that as long as he was willing to act, he would surely have a way to save Ximen Qingkong.
He could save Guo Man, and even rescue Monkey from the hands of the Nine Saints—how could he be unable to save Ximen Qingkong? Yet he refused to lend a hand.
"Daoist Master, have you considered Monkey? If Monkey finds out you deliberately kept the news from him, what will he think when he learns of Ximen Qingkong's death?"
Niu Youdao said, "What he thinks is not important. The favor owed to Wei Kingdom has already been repaid. Monkey already saved Ximen Qingkong once, but was Ximen Qingkong saved? We found a way to save his life, and after picking up a life, he ran back to Xuanwei's side to throw it away. I've said it already: even if we save him this time, he'll still go and seek death."
"Saving him again and again, only for him to seek death again and again—who does he think he is? And what does he take the people saving him for? A man so stubbornly obsessed that he does not even cherish his own life—does he still deserve to be saved? Yes, his plight is pitiable; such sincere devotion could move heaven and earth. Then let us see whether Heaven will show mercy and spare his life. If even Heaven refuses to let him go, no one will save him, and no one can save him. Do you understand?"
"Matchmaker, I know you find this hard to accept emotionally, but your feelings, Monkey's feelings, and even my feelings are not important. The lives and deaths of you, me, and all those around us are what matter most. I do not want anyone else among us to die for one Ximen Qingkong.
