Purple Bamboo Forest, by the Lotus Pond.
Guanyin, with her feet bare, was quietly grooming by the side of the Lotus Pond, her mind filled with a myriad of thoughts, naturally focused on the matters of the Journey to the West.
Reflecting on everything, Guanyin felt that something seemed amiss.
The path of the Journey to the West appeared to be fully under her control; for instance, the romantic entanglement between Xuanzang and Princess Gaoyang, the fact that she had offered the Brocade Kasaya and the Nine-Ring Staff to guide Xuanzang onto the path of Scripture Seeking, and that her enlightened disciples, Sun Wukong, Marshal Tianpeng, General Juanlian, and Little White Dragon had all joined the team for the Journey to the West…
All of these were exactly as she had arranged.
However, Guanyin saw many aspects that were different, like the matter of tribulations.
Logically, the Yellow-Furred Rat Demon that had escaped from Spirit Mountain should have been a challenge.
