Zhen Yuanzi shook his head helplessly, unable to suppress a chuckle.
Fortunately, Zhen Yuanzi was a mighty deity and would not get angry with a monkey.
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head without speaking, but Sun Wukong shamelessly pressed on.
Probably embarrassed by his earlier wrong guess, Sun Wukong wanted to show off in front of Zhen Yuanzi to save face.
Sun Wukong walked up to Zhen Yuanzi and struck his usual pose, bending his knees and extending his right hand in a downward salute. "Hey, ox-nosed priest, are you the master of this Five Villages Temple?"
The moment Sun Wukong spoke, Qingfeng and Bright Moon gaped in astonishment.
They had never imagined a monkey could be so rude. Even Primordial Heavenly Venerable addressed Zhen Yuanzi as a fellow Daoist when they met.
Displeasure immediately colored Zhen Yuanzi's face, and he cursed inwardly, This is Zhunti's disciple? Such an ignorant fool. Hmph!
Still, Zhen Yuanzi's self-restraint was truly excellent, and he did not let it show on his face. "Indeed, this humble Daoist is."
Sun Wukong chuckled. "Ox-nose, you really know how to boast! I, Old Sun, have seen everything in heaven and on earth, but I've never met an ox-nosed priest who could boast like you!"
Suppressing his anger, Zhen Yuanzi asked, "Oh? How have I boasted? Tell me."
Sun Wukong chuckled. "Do you know who I am?"
Zhen Yuanzi shook his head. "This humble Daoist does not."
Even more pleased with himself, Sun Wukong declared loudly, "Then let this boastful ox-nosed priest know! I, Old Sun, am Sun Wukong, the Great Sage Equal to Heaven who wreaked havoc in the Heavenly Palace five hundred years ago!"
Now Zhen Yuanzi could not help thinking of Lin Tian.
The comparison immediately left Zhen Yuanzi marveling.
One discussed the Dao with him
