Jiang Liu, though he had transmigrated and taken over Tang Monk's body, never felt that he was Tang Monk.
After all, his soul had traveled from modern society, so naturally, he had his own understanding of the Journey to the West.
In the original work, Tang Monk had not harbored any thoughts of disobedience towards the arrangements set by Guanyin. Whether it was Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, or Sha Wujing, as long as it was stated to be arranged by Bodhisattva Guanyin, he accepted them without consideration of anything else.
But when it came to Jiang Liu, things were different.
Sun Wukong was willing to accept this because they were on the same side, Zhu Bajie and Little White Dragon were willing to accept because they hoped to be recruited to their side.
But what about Sha Wujing!?
As General Juanlian, he almost served the Great Jade Emperor personally and could be considered one of the Jade Emperor's confidants!
