Amitabha!
Master Xuanzhen fell silent.
"Sin, sin!" Master Xuan Kong shook his head.
"If you want to save them, I don't mind sending you on your way." Ling Yun grinned.
"Alas, it is all fate. Amitabha."
Master Xuanzhen shook his head. The Five Fiends of Scorpio had always been far too arrogant. Meeting such an end was probably simply what they deserved.
North Divine Venerable reminded him in a low voice, "Emperor Lord, are you really not going to provoke Putuo Temple? Now that Master Xuan Kong has left Putuo Temple, they'll definitely settle the score with you."
"Oh? Interesting!" Ling Yun raised his brows slightly, and an evil smile suddenly curled across his lips.
Fuck!
That smile from the Emperor Lord?
North Divine Venerable inexplicably felt a chill of panic.
"Little Monk, do you want to cultivate with him? To relive the years you once shared?" Ling Yun pointed at Master Xuan Kong, who was bowing his head and chanting sutras. At those words, the latter's heart actually lit up.
That hint!
Wasn't this just salvation? The Supreme Emperor Lord wanted to save Master Xuanzhen!
Master Xuanzhen laughed heartily. "What a bold claim. But, Emperor Lord, Benefactor, can you really persuade Junior Brother Xuan Kong to return to Putuo Temple?"
Master Xuan Kong: "..."
Ling Yun chuckled. "You're overthinking it. Go back to the academy. I want to chat with the Little Monk about life and discuss ideals."
"All right."
North Divine Venerable was a little reluctant. He wanted to chat about life and discuss ideals too.
They all left, leaving only Ling Yun, Master Xuanzhen, and Master Xuan Kong behind.
"I wasn't overthinking it, was I? Did you brainwash Junior Brother Xuan Kong?"
"Whether I did or not... you'll know soon enough." Ling Yun began chanting sutras!
Hiss!
