"Guanyin Bodhisattva! It's Guanyin Bodhisattva!" After the golden light disappeared, the ministers surrounding Ye Chen began bowing and worshipping in the direction where Guanyin Bodhisattva had vanished.
Ye Chen saw that the emperor and Wei Zheng were also gazing in adoration at the spot where Guanyin had hovered in the air. He knew that the immortal must have used some kind of Magic Spell to erase these people's memories.
The scene suddenly grew chaotic again, and Ye Chen found the ministers around him unbearably noisy.
Only Xuanzang remained unchanged. As before, he kept his eyes closed, as though he could neither see nor hear anything.
From the moment Guanyin had shown hostility toward Ye Chen to the moment the golden light faded, Xuanzang had acted as if none of it concerned him. That stirred a trace of resentment in Ye Chen.
"You stinking monk, you watched Guanyin humiliate me like that and didn't say a word. You usually teach all those great principles to everyone, but when a Bodhisattva shows up, you play the good guy."
"If you weren't the only one who could obtain the true scriptures, I'd really want to..." A trace of hostility slowly rose in Ye Chen's heart, but then it faded.
"Forget it. Even if I really wanted to do something, I probably couldn't do a thing to him. I already have an Indestructible Body, so eating his flesh wouldn't do me any good."
"Besides, this stinking monk is the reincarnation of Golden Cicada. He has a powerful backing, and his innate nature is pure and bright, with Spirits protecting him in secret. With my abilities, I probably couldn't do anything to him."
Just as Ye Chen was thinking this, the emperor suddenly gestured for everyone to quiet down. The ministers around them fell silent
