"Fake?"
"Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi, this... this is your disciple?"
"All these secrets are fake?"
Zhu Bajie was stunned, and so was Sandy. Tang Sanzang's gaze flickered incessantly, his instincts telling him Zhen Yuanzi was lying. Just as Sandy had said earlier, whether those supposed secrets were true or false was something they knew best in their own hearts.
Now Great Immortal Zhen Yuanzi had popped up and declared them fake.
This...
It left Tang Sanzang questioning his life all over again.
"Yes! All of that was fake... My disciple, the White Bone Demon, excels at illusion arts... You all fell under an illusion."
"Break!"
Under the three men's puzzled gazes, Zhen Yuanzi pointed into empty space. The next instant, the White Bone Cave turned into a desolate wilderness. All the supposed snow outside vanished, and the Black Pine Forest returned to its original appearance.
Tang Sanzang and the other two immediately felt as though they had stepped out of one world and into a new one...
"Fake? Fake? No, that's impossible!" Sandy refused to believe it.
This was simply not something that could be explained away with a single claim of illusions or fakery. There were far too many holes.
"To apologize for my failure to discipline her, I am willing to offer another three ginseng fruits as recompense. Holy monk, please forgive me. I failed to keep my disciple in line."
Zhen Yuanzi had no time to explain anything to Sandy. With a flip of his hand, another three ginseng fruits appeared, and he shoved them into Tang Sanzang's hands without further discussion.
Tang Sanzang accepted them reflexively.
"Well then, everyone, I still have matters to attend to. This wicked disciple refuses to behave, so I shall take her away and keep a close watch on her!"
