Yang Xue had left. The news was told to them by Yang Jian. Sun Wukong immediately fought with Yang Jian on the spot, and they were evenly matched!
"Tell me, did you say something to her? Otherwise, she was fine yesterday. Why did she suddenly leave without saying goodbye after seeing you this morning?" In mid - air, Sun Wukong pressed his Ruyi Jingu Bang against Yang Jian's Sanjian Liangren Ji. His angry eyes were blazing with fury.
Yang Jian didn't seem surprised by his reaction. He replied indifferently, "No matter what I said, it was Yang Xue's own choice. Great Sage, you've lost your composure."
"I've lost my composure!" Suddenly, he unexpectedly reached out and grabbed Yang Jian's neck, gnashing his teeth as he said, "Tell me quickly, where has she gone!"
"Cough..." Yang Jian didn't resist. He tightly grasped Sun Wukong's wrist with his hand and said with difficulty, "You're taking my kindness for ill will. This is the best choice. You're just a restless and stinky monkey. If you were together now, you'd only be like meat on the chopping block, at the mercy of others."
Sun Wukong threw a punch, but Yang Jian deftly dodged it. This made Sun Wukong even more furious. "Are you sent by the Jade Emperor?"
"If it weren't me who was sent, Great Sage, you might have been taken to the Heavenly Court by me by now." A glint of sternness flashed in his calm eyes. "I don't know where she's gone, but you must go on the pilgrimage to the West. Otherwise, both of you will be in great danger."
Sun Wukong stopped dejectedly. He let go of all his anger, put away his Ruyi Jingu Bang at a loss, and looked at the whole picture of Flower - Fruit Mountain in the distance with a desolate expression.
Actually, he knew better than anyone else that since he got together with Yang Xue, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven had a weakness. For the first time, he knew what it meant to be worried about someone.
He was well aware that no matter how arrogant they were, going against the Three Realms was like hitting a stone with an egg. Once, he made a wrong move in front of the Buddha and lost everything.
If he really faced the Buddha again, he wasn't sure if he could escape the Buddha's palm this time.
Although Yang Xue had the Heavenly Book and Qing Xuan, when facing the Western forces, even if she had a chance against the Buddha, there were still several extremely powerful figures above the Buddha.
However, he hadn't had the chance to tell Yang Xue that even if she didn't leave, he also intended to continue escorting Tang Seng on his journey to the West.
If they had discussed it properly earlier, would she not have left so suddenly?
Sun Wukong returned to his room and didn't step out of it for a whole day and night.
When Zhu Bajie heard that Miss Yang had left, he went to knock on Sun Wukong's door, intending to offer his condolences, but was shouted out.
After Yang Xue left, the Avalokitesvara also returned to the Vulture Peak to report.
As long as they could continue their journey to the West, everything would be fine.
When the God of Wealth heard that Yang Xue had left, he specifically went to see Sun Wukong. He didn't expect Sun Wukong to open the door.
"Come in!" Sun Wukong's muffled voice came, and then the door opened.
The God of Wealth walked in and saw wine flasks scattered all over the floor. Sun Wukong was lying on the couch, looking like a spiritual pet abandoned by its master.
The God of Wealth couldn't help laughing at him. "You've finally come to this day. It's really amazing. Even if the sun doesn't rise tomorrow, I won't be surprised."
Sun Wukong was wearing a white long gown with faint bamboo patterns embroidered on it. This was the style that Yang Xue liked.
He turned his head indifferently, picked up a flask of wine and held it in front of the God of Wealth. "Come and drink."
"I really didn't expect that the Great Sage is such a passionate person. In my lifetime, I'm lucky enough to see you trapped by love. I can die without regret!" Taking the flask, the God of Wealth tilted his head and took a big gulp. He sat down on the cushion by the window, infected by Sun Wukong's mood.
"How much do you like her?"
He was talking about Yang Xue.
The God of Wealth slightly pursed his lips and lowered his head to rub his golden whip. "It seems that I don't like her as much as the Great Sage does."
"Ask the world what love is. It makes people willing to live and die for each other." Softly reciting this line, Sun Wukong slightly shook his head and sighed. "I never thought that I would miss a woman so much."
"Then, congratulations to you." The God of Wealth gave a bitter smile. "Are you showing off to me?"
"Well, sort of." A look of pride suddenly appeared on his face. He slightly raised his chin and said briskly, "Seeing you, I'm not so sad anymore."
"..." Zhao Gongming, who was half - choked, could only scold himself for being stupid!
He shouldn't have come in to drink with him.
"What are your plans next?" The God of Wealth also mocked him. "Go to the Buddha or storm the Hall of Miraculous Mist?"
"Go to the Underworld."
"Huh?" Zhao Gongming was surprised and puzzled. "Why go to the Underworld? Don't tell me you want to find the King of Hell and cross out Yang Xue's name from the Book of Life and Death?"
"Her name must not be in the Book of Life and Death. I want to have a heart - to - heart talk with the King of Hell." Suddenly, Sun Wukong stood up. He shed his decadent aura. Although reeking of alcohol, he seemed to come back to life. He said clearly, "Anyway, Yang Xue will definitely come back. She left Qing Xuan with me just to comfort me."
"..." The God of Wealth's expression was as if he had eaten a fly. What a self - inflicted trouble!
After nightfall, when Sun Wukong returned to Flower - Fruit Mountain in high spirits, the old monkey king reported to him that everyone except the Tang Seng's disciples had left.
Sun Wukong then came to the top of the mountain and discussed with Tang Seng about continuing the pilgrimage.
Tang Seng, who was whole - heartedly devoted to Buddhism, immediately said that they could set off tomorrow.
Looking at Tang Seng's slightly thinner face, Sun Wukong couldn't help rubbing his chin. "Master, may I ask you a question?"
Tang Seng raised his eyes, as if he could see through him. He tidied his robe and began to meditate. "I'm not old. Ask. If it's a private matter, I won't answer."
"Hey, master, don't be like this. How could your disciple ask you about Buddhist scriptures? It's naturally a private matter." Saying this, Sun Wukong sat down beside Tang Seng and raised his eyebrows. "Master, do you miss the Queen of the Daughter Country?"
"..." He gritted his teeth and finally said, "No."
Tang Seng closed his eyes tightly and didn't intend to pay attention to Sun Wukong.
"Tomorrow at dawn, we'll go to the Daughter Country, get the official passport, and then set off immediately."
Seeing that Tang Seng didn't want to talk to him, Sun Wukong happily sat down on one side and sighed to himself. "Alas, master really doesn't understand love. Yang Xue told me that it's okay to like someone, and it's only natural to miss someone. The purpose of cultivation is not to cut off all emotions. What's the difference between that and a walking corpse? Since you're so cruel to yourself, why be a human being?"
"..." Tang Seng didn't want to listen to his heretical remarks. "Wukong, don't make your master drive you away."
"Okay, okay. Then I'll leave. After I accompany you to get the scriptures, you should also go to the Daughter Country to have a look. After all, she's the only woman who made your heart flutter. If you miss her, you might regret it for the rest of your life. If you have a demon in your heart because of her, it may be difficult for you to make further progress from tonight on." Saying this, Sun Wukong closed the door and left.
Tang Seng slightly opened his eyes. His kind and benevolent eyebrows finally showed a melancholy expression.
Sighing slightly, he and the Queen of the Daughter Country were fated but couldn't be together. If he obtained the true scriptures, he would be even more unable to be attached to the mortal world. He should cut off all emotions and whole - heartedly devote himself to Buddhism.
Yang Xue came to an unnamed cave in the Northern Utmost Continent and found the Patriarch Bodhi.
