Chapter 1077: Little White Dragon: Master, Kong Xuan Wants Me to Be a Spy
Upon hearing Kong Xuan's words, Little White Dragon secretly breathed a sigh of relief.
Does Vidyaraja only know that my initial purpose for the Journey to the West for Scriptures was for my uncle's matter, but has no idea about my current objective?
If that's the case, then all my worries were for nothing.
However, now that it's come to this point, Little White Dragon naturally wouldn't correct Kong Xuan by confessing his ultimate goal for the Journey to the West for Scriptures.
Therefore, after a brief silence, he nodded slightly and admitted: "Indeed, what Vidyaraja said is truly what I have in mind!"
While speaking, Little White Dragon glanced at the Jing River below, suddenly understanding why Vidyaraja had brought him here.
"Very good!"
Hearing Little White Dragon frankly admit this in front of him, Kong Xuan's expression didn't change, and he nodded slightly, saying: "Among the Journey to the West Team, there are few that I appreciate, and you are the top!"
"Thank you for your appreciation, Vidyaraja!" Hearing Kong Xuan's words, Xiaobai's expression didn't change, still maintaining a calm demeanor, and he gave a lukewarm reply.
Seeing Little White Dragon's expression, it was evident he didn't quite believe his words.
Kong Xuan also understood that he thought he was just flattering him and then said: "As for the Journey to the West team, although I admire Xuanzang, tracing back to roots, his previous form was merely a Six-Winged Golden Cicada, just a fierce insect…"
"Sun Wukong, though his origin is extraordinary, his nature is too straightforward, unable to achieve great things!"
"Zhu Bajie, though his origin and wisdom are not poor, he is unfortunately obsessed with beauty, unable to extricate himself. If he cannot achieve epiphany, he is similarly unfit for great use…"
"Sha Wujing? His origin and aptitude are lacking!"
"Only you, though nowadays the Dragon Clan's bloodline is thin, in ancient times, the Dragon Clan suppressed the Primordial for eons. Now that you can purify your bloodline, coupled with the Witch Clan's bloodline, your future achievements are limitless."
"Most importantly, you are diligent, as the third crown prince of the Western Sea Dragon King, you can enter the Great Luo Realm…"
Kong Xuan's words offered a thorough commentary on the Journey to the West Team; naturally, his final words made it clear that he appreciated Little White Dragon the most.
The words seemed sincere, not merely a few flowery phrases.
"Thank you, Vidyaraja, for your appreciation!" As they say, one doesn't hit a smiling face; these words made Little White Dragon's expression turn much more earnest, and he opened his mouth to thank Kong Xuan.
"Today, I help you step into the Great Luo Realm. Someday, when you arrive at the Great Thunder Monastery, I will also help your uncle clear his injustice…" After nodding slightly, Kong Xuan immediately offered a promise.
"Thank you, Vidyaraja, thank you, Vidyaraja!" Upon hearing Kong Xuan's promise, Little White Dragon wore a look of excitement and gratitude, thanking Kong Xuan in a hurry.
However, after expressing his thanks, Little White Dragon immediately looked at Kong Xuan and asked, "May I ask if there is anything Little Dragon can do to serve?"
Little White Dragon wasn't dumb. Vidyaraja Kong Xuan was a lofty figure, a formidable one second only to a Saint in the world.
He suddenly appeared, brought him to the Jing River, helped repair his Dragon Ball, assisted him into the Daluo Golden Immortal stage, and made a promise...
This couldn't simply be admiration; there must be something he needed him to do, right?
"Speaking with a clever person is easy!"
Hearing Little White Dragon's words, Kong Xuan nodded slightly and said: "I want you to help keep an eye on Xuanzang and his companions, and if anything happens, it would be best if you report it to me promptly!"
"Ah? You want me to watch over my master and the others?" Little White Dragon widened his eyes, looking at Kong Xuan in astonishment, clearly not expecting such a request.
"Perhaps you don't know?"
Seeing Little White Dragon's astonished expression, Kong Xuan said: "The Journey to the West for Scriptures is naturally managed by someone, the purpose is for the smooth progress of the Buddhist Sect's Westward Journey. Now, the responsibility of coordinating this Journey to the West falls on me!"
"So, if possible, I want to have a more accurate grasp of the happenings on the Journey to the West! In order to ensure as much as possible that the Journey to the West doesn't encounter any unexpected issues!" Kong Xuan expressed that his purpose was for the smooth progress of the Journey to the West.
This statement, somewhat half-true and half-false, left people uncertain.
"So now the coordination for the Journey to the West is taken over by Vidyaraja Kong Xuan!?" From Kong Xuan's words, Little White Dragon understood what was going on, secretly murmuring in his heart.
The original coordinator was the Bodhisattva, as Little White Dragon knew, because it was Guanyin who initially initiated himself and several disciples on the path of the Journey to the West for Scriptures, personally overseeing it all.
Later, it was taken over by Maitreya Buddha, which Little White Dragon also knew, as Maitreya Buddha, upon assuming the task, directly approached the Journey to the West team, offering assistance with any troubles on the journey.
Yet, unexpectedly, it has changed again?
And now it's Kong Xuan who is in charge?
"I understand, Disciple!" Secretly amazed, but with the conversation reaching this point, he certainly could not refuse, so after a brief contemplation, Little White Dragon nodded, expressing understanding.
Of course, although he agreed with Kong Xuan on the surface, in reality, Little White Dragon had no intention of trusting Kong Xuan.
Help his uncle rectify his injustice? Right now, his uncle was doing well in the Ming Sect, and of course, he and the Ming Sect and his master shared the same heart.
"Master, Vidyaraja Kongxuan captured me and said he is now responsible for coordinating the Journey to the West, and he wants me to act as a spy to monitor everyone!"
After agreeing on the surface, covertly, Little White Dragon directly opened his chat window with Jiang Liu and relayed this information to Jiang Liu.
"Hmm? Maitreya Buddha resigned from the position of Coordinator of the Journey to the West, and now, Kong Xuan is in charge?" In the Exquisite Immortal Mansion, upon receiving the message from Little White Dragon, Jiang Liu's expression changed slightly.
From Yuanling's mouth, Jiang Liu learned that Maitreya Buddha had resigned from the position of Coordinator of the Journey to the West and had gone into seclusion to cultivate with insight.
However, Jiang Liu did not know who the new coordinator was.
Now it seems, Kong Xuan has personally stepped in.
Jiang Liu had long known that Maitreya Buddha resigned as Coordinator of the Journey to the West, so who exactly would take over after Maitreya Buddha?
Maitreya Buddha was at the peak of the Great Luo Realm at level 90; if he couldn't manage it, then the next person to take over would definitely need to be at least a Quasi-Saint, right?
Therefore, after some thought, Jiang Liu felt the most likely candidate would be Randeng Buddha, one of the Three-World Buddhas.
But unexpectedly, it turned out to be Kong Xuan?
In terms of strength, Kong Xuan was even more powerful than Randeng Buddha. If he served as the coordinator for the Journey to the West, his abilities were certainly adequate.
It's just that, as the mount of Sage Zhunti, it was unexpected that Zhunti would actually send him down.
"If Kong Xuan wants you to be a spy and keep an eye on us, you should just agree..." Although his heart was moved, Jiang Liu did not hesitate in his conversation with Little White Dragon.
Is Kong Xuan trying to make Little White his undercover agent? Then, does he not know that Little White might become a counter-spy instead?
...
In mid-air over the Jing River, looking at the message sent by Jiang Liu.
Little White naturally understood his master's intentions, said nothing more, but already knew in his heart what to do.
"Aolie, do you know what secrets Xuanzang carries?" Naturally, Kong Xuan didn't know that Little White had already communicated with Jiang Liu. From his perspective, Little White had agreed to his request, so he went straight to the point and asked.
"Secrets?" With a puzzled expression, Little White slightly tilted his head, looking at Kong Xuan in front of him in surprise.
Obviously, he didn't quite understand what Kong Xuan meant by that.
"Xuanzang in his previous life was merely Master Golden Cicada, yet within a few short years, he managed to reach the cultivation level of a Daluo Golden Immortal and possesses numerous powerful Dharma Treasures, even..."
At this point, Kong Xuan paused slightly, glanced at Little White Dragon, and continued, "Including you, the several disciples' cultivation levels have also advanced rapidly. What is the reason behind all this? Do you know?"
Kong Xuan's words made Little White's heart clench slightly.
His words revealed obvious suspicion regarding his master's situation.
However, the speed of his master's cultivation progress was known throughout the Three Realms, so Kong Xuan's suspicion was not surprising, and there was nothing strange about it.
As long as there's suspicion, it naturally indicates that he doesn't know what really happened.
"What? Is there something you can't say about this information?" Seeing the thoughtful expression on Little White's face, Kong Xuan slightly frowned and asked.
"It's not that I can't say, but rather, I don't really know!" Hearing Kong Xuan's question, Little White quickly replied.
"Then what do you know? Go ahead and tell me," listening to Little White's words, Kong Xuan did not press further and simply said.
You say you don't know, fine, I will believe you for now, but you can't possibly know nothing at all, right?
Just tell me what you do know.
"A few years ago, Master obtained the Map of Mountains and Rivers, and then led several of us disciples into the world within the painting. Through numerous battles, our cultivation levels have since increased rapidly..." Little White Dragon said.
"Hmm, continue!" Nodding slightly, Kong Xuan prompted Little White Dragon to continue.
"Additionally, as our cultivation levels increased steadily, the speed of improving our cultivation by fighting within the Map of Mountains and Rivers seemed relatively slower, so Master asked Randeng Buddha for help..."
"With Randeng Buddha's Heaven and Earth Inkstone, Ink Dragon Blood Water, and the Jade Emperor's Vermilion Pen, he outlined the scene of the Great Thunder Monastery."
"For the past few years, we have been entering daily to battle, and our cultivation levels have been improving even faster..."
