If it weren't for her encounter with the foreign monk at the inn's entrance this morning, Li Mumu had almost forgotten about a character like Maitreya in the Longevity Sect, since she had only met him briefly and he had not appeared again afterward. It was totally reasonable to consider him an insignificant minor character.
But on second thought, something seemed off.
The Longevity Sect had always venerated the Three Pure Ones, and strictly speaking, it belonged to the Taoist faction. What business did it have with monks?
If it were just Maitreya alone, that would merely suggest he was a uniquely eccentric character. But having seen another foreign monk in the Seaside District today, clutching suspicious incense, Li Mumu couldn't help but suspect that these monks might have their own secret society organization behind the scenes.
"No, I have never heard of such a thing."
