Just then, Guanyin's voice rang out again. "Liuli, why are you bullying my Dragon Woman? Honestly..."
Hearing his voice, Verdant Green Maiden and Saro both turned to look.
Guanyin had taken on another Six-Time Guanyin Form, that of a lay Buddhist, and entered the Shunde Heavenly Maiden Temple. Seeing him arrive, Verdant Green Maiden smiled as well and said slowly, "My mistake. Shall I apologize to Saro?"
"No need!"
Saro's pupils contracted as she hurriedly shook her head.
Guanyin could only sigh helplessly.
"Ah..."
"You, honestly!"
"Hehe?"
Verdant Green Maiden gave a chuckle.
Seeing her grinning so cheerfully, Guanyin was utterly speechless. He had come to scold someone over what had happened just now, but one did not strike a smiling face.
After a long while, Guanyin finally sighed helplessly and said to Verdant Green Maiden, "Very well. This monk has something else to instruct you about."
"What is it?"
Verdant Green Maiden asked.
Guanyin said, "It concerns guards for the scripture seeker."
"You understand as well that this world... is somewhat unusual!"
"If Xuanzang sets out alone, then just after crossing the Hexi Corridor, he will likely end up as food on a Demon Ghost's platter! You have several fine disciples. If possible, how about having those disciples of yours lend Xuanzang a hand? When the deed is accomplished, they will receive a share of the merit as well."
Guanyin spoke to Verdant Green Maiden slowly.
After hearing him out, Verdant Green Maiden considered it briefly and nodded slightly. "That could work!"
Why not earn some merit while she was at it? Go it was!
Seeing Verdant Green Maiden agree, Guanyin let out a breath of relief and nodded faintly. "Then this monk may depart without worry!"
"Dragon Woman..."
"I'll leave her in Liuli's care."
"Rest assured, Miaoshan!"
Verdant
