Even Saint Monk Longhai felt a sense of helplessness in his heart. Ever since he became a holy monk, almost everyone had sought him out for favors. But today, it was he who was imploring Xuanzang, asking him not to leave the monastic life, which was truly a painstaking effort.
Longhai was well aware that if he insisted on leaving the monastery, and if he himself were to adamantly refuse, or even resort to using force to suppress him, this would only cause the other party to feel more repulsed and rebellious.
Therefore, he could only indulge him for now, stabilizing the situation temporarily, and then gradually make plans for the future.
