At present, it was highly likely that the Six Eared Macaque was not unaware that Wang Yuan had seen through him.
It seemed Wang Yuan had to find a way to expose the Six Eared Macaque's true identity.
Come to think of it, the Six Eared Macaque was so peculiar that even if one searched through the entire Journey to the West, there was no other demon like him.
He was the only demon who neither wanted to eat Tang Sanzang nor sleep with him. He was wholeheartedly determined to obtain the scriptures.
Such a demon was truly rare. He was even more suited than Sun Wukong or Tang Sanzang to undertake the Journey to the West.
Unfortunately, the Six Eared Macaque had no legitimate identity and could only impersonate Sun Wukong to follow Tang Sanzang and the others on their journey.
Wang Yuan was also pondering why the Six Eared Macaque was so determined to obtain the scriptures.
Wouldn't it be better to live freely as a mountain king?
Why did he insist on obtaining the scriptures? He could even resist the temptation of Tang Sanzang's flesh. What exactly was he after?
Wang Yuan was also baffled by this Six Eared Macaque, who never followed convention. Even in his previous life, so many Journey to the West scholars had failed to figure out what the Six Eared Macaque truly wanted. How could he possibly know?
However, he remembered a theory he had seen in his previous life—that the Six Eared Macaque had been brought in by the Buddhist School to replace the disobedient Sun Wukong.
From that perspective, it did make sense.
The Six Eared Macaque had originally been sent by the Buddhist School to replace Sun Wukong and protect Tang Sanzang. Why would he covet Tang Sanzang's flesh?
