Chapter 65: The Three Demon Kings

Great Buddha Temple, within the great hall.

Daoji, dressed in a monk's robe, bowed his head before the statue of Tathagata, confessing and chanting scriptures.

Because he had lied, claiming that his brother, Master Xuanzang, had been devoured by a demon, recently, Master Longhai had been mired in self-blame, all of which Daoji clearly saw and which made him feel guilty.

"Amitabha, two months have passed, and there has still been no word regarding my brother and Princess Gaoyang. I truly wonder how they are faring."

While confessing before the statue of Tathagata, Daoji's thoughts inevitably drifted to Jiang Liu and Gaoyang.

As a monk with twelve Scar of Precepts, deeply connected with Buddha, in Daoji's view, he should have had a promising future, revered by millions of monks.

Yet, for the sake of romantic attachment, he was living in anonymity.

Even though Daoji had agreed out of emotional attachment, each time he thought about it, he felt pity for Jiang Liu.
