Chapter 262: The True Purpose

Shikong gazed at the sky outside the window, finally ending his narration. His story seemed to end there.

It was succinct, but not simple.

The tale of his adventure with Li Wancheng was even more thrilling, even evoking a touch of melancholy in one's heart.

Shen Yue listened quietly, his expression betraying his sympathy.

After a long pause, Shen Yue finally said, "Thank you, revered monk, for sharing this piece of history."

While others might be mired in doubt, Shen Yue had gleaned much useful information from Shikong's account.

"Having heard your story, I have some thoughts I'd like to discuss with the esteemed monk. If there are any mistakes in my assumptions, I'd appreciate your guidance," said Shen Yue cautiously.

Shikong responded with a word, "Bless you."

"The Buddha statue that Li Wancheng and Yuan Shanwen sought is a mysterious artifact," Shen Yue got straight to the point.
