Who could have expected that Golden Cicada would break convention, tearing through the veiled matters that the major players behind did not want to be known.
"Haha, Sir Lu is scared, those major players don't care about these trivial matters. They drive the major trends, following a path of righteousness. Even if you found out, you would only be swept along by the forces at play, unable to break free."
"Ten lifetimes later, this poor monk must travel to Tathagata in the Western Heaven to seek the True Scriptures and will need the Great Saint to protect me along the way."

Golden Cicada just smiled, turned to Lu Yu, and said, "This monk will not disturb Sir and the Great Saint from catching up. I'll take my leave first."
After finishing, he walked away without looking back toward the outside of Five Elements Mountain.
