Sun Wukong thought to himself that given his current strength and status, assigning him again to guard the Pan Tao Garden would undoubtedly be an underutilization of his talents.
Why would the Jade Emperor send his disciple to guard the Pan Tao Garden? Could it be that he planned to have little white dragon Ao Lie cause havoc in the Heavenly Court?
That obviously wasn't possible.
First, Ao Lie didn't have the strength, nor did he have any reason to cause trouble in the Heavenly Court.
Second, the Jade Emperor had started to exercise his authority and would continue to make plans in the future. There was no need to resort to the extreme measure of upsetting the Heavenly Court.
Sun Wukong was somewhat puzzled by the Jade Emperor's intention and asked Taibai Jinxing again.
