Xuanzang glanced at Yuan Shouren again and said, "Daoist Yuan Shouren, even if I hadn't spoken up for you this time, His Majesty would still have rewarded your Dao Sect."
"Oh? Why is that?" Yuan Shouren was somewhat puzzled.
"First, because your Dao Sect earned this merit. Second, because His Majesty needs to balance the power of the Buddhist Sect and the Dao Sect. He will never allow either side to grow too dominant. You know that if one side became too powerful, it would not benefit the dynasty's rule." Xuanzang explained with a smile.
After hearing this, Yuan Shouren admired Xuanzang even more.
This Xuanzang not only understood Buddhist teachings, but was also exceptionally well versed in worldly affairs and the struggles of the imperial court.
Xuanzang was no ordinary man.

Guanyin Bodhisattva glanced at Uchiha Shin. "What action is Mystic Spirit King referring to?"
"Bodhisattva, we're on the same side. Are you still going to play dumb with me?"
Uchiha Shin smiled. According to the course of Journey to the West, shouldn't Guanyin Bodhisattva be taking Muzha to Chang'an to sell the cassock and monk's staff around now?
Guanyin Bodhisattva smiled as well. "Mystic Spirit King, do you know that Tathagata Buddha has asked me to return to Spirit Mountain to teach Buddhist teachings to its disciples?"
Uchiha Shin froze for a moment. Tathagata Buddha asking Guanyin Bodhisattva to return to Spirit Mountain at this time was no simple matter.
At this point, Guanyin Bodhisattva should have been heading to Chang'an. By doing this, Tathagata Buddha had effectively held Guanyin Bodhisattva back. She
