"Since Master didn’t explain it clearly, there must be a reason behind it, we just need to..."

Her voice abruptly stopped, and she stared fixedly at the noisy crowd in the cabin.

The young junior brother curiously looked up and his pupils contracted just as fiercely—as there, standing clearly in the crowded group, was a handsome young man dressed in monk’s robes.

Is it him??

But...when did he board the plane?

Both of them felt a heaviness in their hearts, especially Zhang Xuelan, whose hair on the back of her neck stood up.

Is it a coincidence, or?

Just then, the cabin door opened, and Zhang Xuelan grabbed the young junior brother, quickly walking away, faster and faster, constantly looking back as she went.

Once outside the airport, confirming that the handsome young man did not follow, Zhang Xuelan finally exhaled a sigh of relief.

The young junior brother blinked beside her:

"Senior Sister, although that person is strange, we don’t need to act like we’re running away, right? We’re from Mount Longhu, shouldn’t we be the ones chasing him?"

Zhang Xuelan glared at the young junior brother with irritation:

"At such a critical moment, we can’t afford new complications. That monk is somewhat peculiar, better to avoid him—Master mentioned that the Weaver has already infiltrated!"

The young junior brother shrank his neck:

"You’re saying that monk is the Weaver? How is that possible? The Weaver can change forms endlessly, if he’s really tailing us, how could he let us recognize him..."

He muttered as he and Zhang Xuelan flagged down a taxi, and as soon as they got in, both of their expressions changed again.

The driver was dressed in monk’s robes, with a handsome face, speaking in a gentle voice:

"Where would you two like to go?"

The young junior brother felt his scalp tingling, Zhang Xuelan held back the urge to lash out, her heart pounding wildly,

After a moment of silence, she sat in the back seat, staring intently at the driver’s back, and spoke hoarsely:

"To the Great Buddha Palace."

The Great Buddha Palace in the Land of Great Treasure is guarded by formidable Buddhist monks, comparable to the ancient beings of the Shaolin Temple, second only to Master.

"Alright."

Zhang Fusheng responded with a smile, pressed the accelerator, and the taxi surged forward.

Seeing the car indeed heading towards the Great Buddha Palace, Zhang Xuelan and the young junior brother relaxed their tensed nerves slightly,

Yet their hearts remained wary—everything earlier felt too bizarre, terrifying!

While driving, the monk in robes spoke gently:

"Guests, have you heard of the Four Outer Gods?"

The young junior brother abruptly sat upright, while Zhang Xuelan slightly bent forward, ready to act, and responded in a deep voice:

"Yes... who exactly are you, following us, and what do you want?"

She got straight to the point, ready for a confrontation.

But the monk just smiled, not answering, and instead continued asking:

"I’ve heard, above the Four Outer Gods, there’s a Father God—do you two know what that is?"

The young junior brother began to tremble, hair standing on end and curling up on the seat, while Zhang Xuelan fell silent for a moment, then answered in a low voice:

"Naturally, it’s the subspace."

"What space?" Zhang Fusheng was surprised: "Are you saying, the Father God of the Outer Gods...is not a living being?"

Zhang Xuelan frowned, unsure if he was playing dumb or? 𝒇𝒓𝒆𝒆𝙬𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝓸𝒎

She cautiously nodded, repeating her question:

"So, who exactly are you?"

"Oh, do you know Buddhism?" Zhang Fusheng asked with a smile.

Zhang Xuelan’s mouth twitched:

"Of course, I know."

This universe doesn’t have mythical legends—or rather, there aren’t any true mythical legends,

But the Three Doctrines do exist, and the deities they worship are those who usurped the Celestial Positions.

The monk nodded, applied the brakes, and the taxi smoothly stopped in front of the Great Buddha Palace.

Only then did he calmly say:

"People usually call me the Buddha."

The young junior brother coughed violently, Zhang Xuelan’s eyelids twitched:

"This isn’t funny..."

Just as she spoke, her eyes suddenly sharpened, she grabbed the young junior brother, pushed the car door open, and in a flash, they were already inside the Great Buddha Palace!

Only then did the two completely relax; the Great Buddha Palace Master is an entity almost at the level of the Outer Gods!

They looked back at the taxi—sure enough, the strange monk hadn’t followed, but instead hummed an unknown tune and quickly drove away.

Zhang Xuelan finally let go of her suspicions.

Beside her, the young junior brother wiped away sweat:

"Senior Sister, just who was that guy? I’m still breaking out in a cold sweat..."

Zhang Xuelan shook her head, her small nose slightly wrinkled:

"First, let’s meet the Great Buddha Palace Master and relay the matter to him, asking him to send someone to investigate."

"Alright!"

The two found a monk in the Great Buddha Palace, presented their jade disc from Mount Longhu, explained their purpose,

And under the monk’s guidance, they passed through the cluster of tourists and entered directly into the rear hall of the Great Buddha Palace.

In the rear hall, scripture banners fluttered on both sides, in the center stood three grand Buddha statues, on the left the renowned Great Sun Tathagata, on the right a Great Compassion Bodhisattva,

And in the middle was a statue of the Buddha of Buddhism.

Before the three Buddha statues sat an old monk, rotating golden prayer beads in his hands.

"Celestial Monk!"

Zhang Xuelan escorted the young junior brother as they respectfully paid their respects, explaining the purpose of their visit, she paused before continuing:

"Aside from being ordered by Master to seek the Original Human Ancestor hidden in the Land of Great Treasure, there’s one other matter..."

She recounted the encounter with the strange monk.

The aged Celestial Monk slowly turned, slightly frowning:

"A monk...Donor Xuelan, later you should create a portrait of that monk, and then I will have someone go to search and see what it is."

Zhang Xuelan let out a sigh of relief, holding her hands together, she said:

"Thank you, Celestial Monk."
