Although Wang Chong had accomplished countless great deeds, Gao Gun and Qiguan Sui had still felt that His Highness the Prince of Yan could be manipulated. But in that instant just now, both had suddenly sensed something they could not put into words. Had Wang Chong known, he would surely have declared with a beaming smile, "I am the Monkey Sun who escaped the Tathagata's palm."
There was no other sentence in the world so fitting!
Wang Chong did indeed regard the two as his teachers, but he had never intended to obey their every word. In fact, even without the matter of ganging up on Xun Ba, he would have found some other excuse to turn the relationship between the three of them around. Teachers were teachers, but a lord was a lord. There could be no confusion over that guiding principle.
He was their student, but he was also the lord to whom both men had to pledge their utmost loyalty, exhausting their minds and sparing no effort.
Gao Gun had admitted his mistake in a roundabout way, and Wang Chong had let it pass lightly. The two thus reached a subtle understanding.
Qiguan Sui suddenly bowed and said, "Prince of Yan, you should know that I am the Canon Guardian of the Way of the Yellow Heaven."
Wang Chong did not know why Qiguan Sui had suddenly brought this up. He smiled and asked, "Is there something you need, Teacher?" Qiguan Sui replied, "I have been at your side for a long time, and I feel that you are the most suitable successor to the Way of the Yellow Heaven. I wish to entrust our tradition to you."
Wang Chong pondered briefly, then asked, "Would this bring more trouble or more benefits?"
