"Well," Puti's gaze softened slightly, but he still couldn't accept this female demon who had seduced his disciple. He turned and walked towards the back. "Follow me."
"Master has a strange temper. Don't take it to heart," Sun Wukong took her hand. "Maybe he knows the whereabouts of the Six - Eared Macaque."
"Okay." Although Yang Xue answered verbally, she didn't really think so.
Puti might know the whereabouts of the Six - Eared Macaque, but he was unwilling to tell the truth.
After all, the existence of the Six - Eared Macaque was related to the success of the Journey to the West.
Puti Laozu was a disciple of Hongjun. Although he was not among the Six Sages, he was a great sage comparable to the Tathagata.
It seemed that she had to find an opportunity to look at the Heavenly Book again and re - locate the Six - Eared Macaque.
They came to a pavilion from which they could overlook the entire Apricot Blossom Valley.
When Puti Patriarch learned that they were here to look for the Six - Eared Macaque, his reaction was intense.
"The Six - Eared Macaque?" Puti frowned. "Why are you looking for him?"
Sun Wukong glanced at Yang Xue. "I've heard that the spirit monkey and I look very similar, so I came to meet him."
"Why do you think the spirit monkey is in my cave?"
"..." Sun Wukong was not good at lying, especially in front of Puti Patriarch.
Seeing this, Yang Xue smiled faintly. "I had a dream before. In the dream, the Great Sage was replaced by the Six - Eared Macaque, and he escorted Tang Sanzang to the Western Heaven to obtain the True Scriptures. So, after much inquiring, we found this place. Since he's not here, we'll look elsewhere. If the Patriarch knows his whereabouts, please tell us the truth."
"Absurd!" He waved his whisk. "It was just a dream, and you actually think he'll be replaced by a Six - Eared Macaque?"
Sun Wukong remained silent.
Yang Xue smiled and said, "Since the Patriarch doesn't believe it, could you please calculate for me whether I can be with the Great Sage hand in hand until we're old?"
"You..." Puti's lips trembled. He turned to Sun Wukong and said, "I have something important to discuss with you. Please follow me!"
"Master, there's no need," Sun Wukong's enthusiasm faded. He looked at him calmly and said, "Master, I know what you're going to say. But the situation is set now, and I don't regret the decisions I've made."
"Patriarch, why get angry? Isn't there a rumor outside that no one can figure out my origin? Since the Patriarch doesn't believe it, why not calculate my marriage for me?" Yang Xue ignored the tense atmosphere between the master and the disciple and spoke softly.
"Nonsense!" He turned and leaned on the railing. "Even if it can't be calculated, so what?"
"I'll just ask one question. Do the Heavenly Court and the Western Heaven really intend to let Sun Wukong obtain the True Scriptures?" She sneered. "Especially after the tightening headband was removed and Sun Wukong attacked the Hall of Miraculous Mist again?"
"..." Puti suddenly fell silent.
"Do you really want to watch your gifted disciple be schemed against and work for others?" Yang Xue punctured their lies word by word. "You never really intended to tame Sun Wukong. He's just a doomed pawn."
"..." Sun Wukong opened his mouth. Seeing Puti Laozu's reaction, he finally believed that this wasn't just Yang Xue's wild speculation.
Actually, at first, Yang Xue was just guessing, but now seeing Puti's reaction, she got her confirmation.
She tightly held Sun Wukong's hand. "Let's go."
Sun Wukong didn't move. He stood there expressionlessly.
"Wukong, things are not as simple as you think. They just..."
"Master, don't say any more," Sun Wukong looked up again, his eyes clear. "Could I please ask the master to tell me the whereabouts of the Six - Eared Macaque?"
"I can't tell you," Puti turned around, his voice becoming firm. "You two leave. Just act as if you've never been here."
Sun Wukong was extremely shocked, but after thinking for a moment and weighing the pros and cons, he forced a bitter smile.
"Master, I take my leave." In just two cups of tea time, the master in his heart who had good intentions and taught him earnestly had become less sacred.
Yang Xue turned around first and strode outside.
When they reached the stone gate and looked at the huge cave, she wondered if she should summon the Heavenly Book to take a look.
Just then, Qing Xuan's voice sounded in her ear.
"Danger!"
With a loud noise, Yang Xue quickly flew up and dodged a long arrow!
It was a magical arrow. If she was hit, her magic power would be reduced by half!
"Master!" Sun Wukong turned around and looked at Puti Laozu in mid - air in disbelief. "Why do you want to hurt her?"
"Wukong, there's still a way to remedy your stubbornness, but this little demon must stay!" Puti waved his big hand, and the scene inside the cave changed completely. A huge magic spell fell from above. "Go!"
As soon as the words fell, Sun Wukong was thrown out by an invisible force!
"Yang Xue!" Sun Wukong took out his golden cudgel, turned around and flew in front of Yang Xue. He grabbed her around the waist and pulled her into his arms. "Let's go!"
"Wukong, are you going to disobey your master?" Puti's voice was like a great bell pressing down from above, hurting people's ears!
Yang Xue was startled. After thinking for a while, she decided to use a delaying tactic.
After all, Sun Wukong was Puti Laozu's disciple. He surely couldn't fight against his master.
"Great Sage, you go out first. I'll talk to him alone."
"No, we'll go together!" Sun Wukong flew with her to the stone gate. "He doesn't intend to let you go. I almost forgot that he's an old - fashioned person. How could he be easily persuaded by your words?"
"Sun Wukong, let her go quickly!" Puti Laozu threw out his whisk and attacked them directly. "I'll keep this girl first. Why don't you go back and escort Tang Sanzang on the Journey to the West! As long as you're willing to continue escorting Tang Sanzang, the Heavenly Court will never make things difficult for you, and the Western Heaven will surely give you a title!"
As he spoke, Sun Wukong was thrown outside the stone gate by the immortal - binding chain, and Yang Xue was covered by a huge golden bell!
"Yang Xue!" Sun Wukong struggled desperately and watched helplessly as she was controlled. "Puti Laozu, you old thing, let her go quickly!"
The stone gate closed, and Yang Xue was controlled by the golden bell.
Puti Laozu landed on the ground with a smile, putting his whisk on his arm. He chuckled. "Sure enough, he's still that naughty monkey. He's heartless and calls me an old thing when he's unhappy!"
The young disciple beside him scolded, "I think he should be pressed under the Five - Finger Mountain again. How could he be willing to go on the Journey to the West, especially without the tightening headband? Master should find a way to control him to prevent further trouble."
"Don't worry. I have my own plans," Puti ignored Sun Wukong scolding him outside the cave and walked up to the golden bell. "Lock her up in the stone cave at the back. Don't be careless!"
"Yes, master!" The immortal boy waved his hand, cast a spell to bind Yang Xue's hands and feet, and then removed the golden bell.
Unexpectedly, the next moment, Yang Xue suddenly flew towards him, a dagger against the immortal boy's neck. "Puti Laozu, how could you stab me in the back? Now, let's have a talk?"
"You demon girl..." Puti was extremely shocked. "Let him go!"
Logically speaking, even Sun Wukong couldn't break free from his control. How could this female demon break free so easily? Could it be that she was really as the rumor said?
