To Taibai Jinxing, the fellow before him was nothing but a shameless rogue.
"Taibai Jinxing, what do you want with Sun Wukong?" Shen Bing continued.
Even the good-tempered Taibai Jinxing felt his temper rising thanks to Shen Bing. "You had better disappear from this Immortal's sight immediately, or you will regret it."
"I was actually going to..."
"Get lost!" Who knew whether Taibai Jinxing knew there had once been a nagging Tang Monk who nearly talked Sun Wukong into madness? Either way, he felt he was about to go mad himself.
Shen Bing shrugged, walked aside, and found a clean spot to sit against a tree.
Seeing that Shen Bing had stopped pestering him, Taibai Jinxing ignored him and headed straight up Mount Huaguo.
Shen Bing quietly kept track of the time. Less than ten minutes later, Taibai Jinxing came down the mountain with a miserable expression.
"Old man, why are you back down already?"
"That monkey isn't here," Lord Lao said indignantly, without even looking at Shen Bing.
"Actually, I was about to tell you that Sun Wukong wasn't on Mount Huaguo, but you wouldn't let me speak. Ah!" Shen Bing wore an expression of pure innocence.
Taibai Jinxing felt thoroughly frustrated. This fellow was clearly here to make trouble. If you really wanted to say Sun Wukong wasn't here, why didn't you say so sooner? What was all that nonsense for?
"I'm actually looking for Monkey Sun too."
Taibai Jinxing paused, then asked, "What do you want with him?"
"That's a secret."
"Then keep it to yourself!"
"I'm planning to wait here until that monkey comes back. A round trip to the Heavenly Court isn't easy for you either, old man. Why not wait here too? Great Sage Sun might be back in just a few days."
