Turning his head, the Monkey saw Lu Yu and spoke in a flat tone, "So the Scholar has come."
"Wasn't it you who called for me?" Lu Yu said with a smile.
"What's the deal with the old Monk? Was I wrong to kill that Demon? Wasn't it all to protect his journey to the Western Heaven for the scriptures? Just over a dead Demon, he wanted to chase me away. All these years, when has Old Sun ever suffered such indignity?" the Monkey complained.
Lu Yu then asked, "What exactly happened? Tell me about it."
The Monkey recounted everything that had happened previously. When Lu Yu heard about Madam White Skeleton, he couldn't help but sigh, and the image of the woman in red, like a flame, resurfaced in his mind. Even as the years changed, that stunning red remained etched in his memory.
"Perhaps he harbors guilt!" Lu Yu said softly.
The Monkey looked at Lu Yu, puzzled. He clearly felt that after he had spoken about these events, Lu Yu's mood had not been good.
