Chapter 651 - 645: Well-Intentioned Lies
Though it is said that monks do not lie.
But sometimes, these lies have to be told.
Kong Mengmeng can be said to have been watched over by Guanyin Bodhisattva as she grew up, and Guanyin Bodhisattva knows her temperament very well.
In terms of temperament, Kong Mengmeng and the Peacock Great Ming King are not just similar; they are almost identical.
Guanyin Bodhisattva knows that if Kong Mengmeng learns about the dangerous situation her father is currently in, trouble will surely arise.
To protect Kong Mengmeng, Guanyin Bodhisattva had to go against her own conscience.
Just as Lin Yuan and Guanyin Bodhisattva were conspiring on how to deceive Kong Mengmeng, Elder Bai hurriedly came in from outside.
"Lin Yuan, Kong Mengmeng is here!"
"She’ll probably be here in the time it takes for a cup of tea!" Elder Bai reminded.
This East Sea is, after all, Elder Bai’s stronghold. With Kong Mengmeng’s low level, once she enters the East Sea, she is almost transparent in Elder Bai’s eyes.
Her every move was under Elder Bai’s surveillance.
"Okay!"
"Just follow my plan, it’s not a big deal!"
"Fool her this time, and we’ll figure out the rest later!" Lin Yuan said to Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Guanyin Bodhisattva nodded and replied, "Then we’re agreed, I’ll take my leave first!"
As Kong Mengmeng was coming, Guanyin Bodhisattva could not stay here any longer.
If Guanyin Bodhisattva stayed and was seen by Kong Mengmeng, it would seem like they were plotting something.
As soon as Guanyin Bodhisattva left, Kong Mengmeng walked in.
Kong Mengmeng is Lin Yuan’s woman and also the daughter of the Peacock Great Ming King.
Due to her very special status, Elder Bai specifically instructed not to obstruct her.
As soon as he saw Kong Mengmeng, before she could speak, Lin Yuan preemptively asked, "Mengmeng, why are you here?"
"You didn’t even tell me in advance, so I could send someone to pick you up."
"By the way, how did you know I was here?"
Of course, Lin Yuan knew that Kong Mengmeng came to find her father.
Lin Yuan deliberately asked the obvious question.
By speaking first, he disrupted Kong Mengmeng’s rhythm, making her fall into his pace.
"You, Lin Yuan, are quite the hero now!"
"Everyone knows your story. I just asked around a bit and found out you’re still in the East Sea!" Kong Mengmeng said with a proud demeanor.
It seemed to say, my man is a big hero, a hero who saved the world.
Upon hearing that Kong Mengmeng found out he was in the East Sea, his expression changed.
However, he quickly returned to normal.
The backstory here is unknown to ordinary people, only the core members of the Anti-Buddha Alliance know the causal relationships involved.
Ordinary people in the Mysterious World only knew that Lin Yuan defeated the World Honored, and his Evil Corpse successfully achieved enlightenment, becoming this strange world’s Common Lord.
For ordinary people to know these things is already the limit.
They couldn’t possibly know about the Four Great Primordial Spirits, the Demon Lord, the Buddha, or Wa Huang.
Because the Buddha, Wa Huang, and the Demon Lord cannot descend or intervene personally in the Mysterious World.
Without their personal descent or intervention, naturally, no one knows of their existence.
Ordinary people do not know of the Four Great Primordial Spirits’ existence, let alone the whereabouts of the Peacock Great Ming King.
Lin Yuan gently tousled Kong Mengmeng’s hair and said with a doting expression: "I don’t want to be this world’s hero."
"I’m a selfish person; I just want to be the hero for my own Mengmeng."
Hearing this, Kong Mengmeng’s face flushed red, like a ripe red apple.
"What are you talking about!"
"Elder Bai is still here!" Kong Mengmeng glanced at Lin Yuan with a shy look.
After hearing her words, Elder Bai teased from the side: "Is this old man disrupting you young people,
then should I leave?"
"Please don’t tease me, Elder Bai!" Kong Mengmeng said with a red face, shyly, "I came here for serious matters."
Though Lin Yuan’s teasing disrupted her rhythm,
Kong Mengmeng still asked the crucial question.
Based on what Kong Mengmeng knew about her father, after this great battle, Kong Xuan would definitely contact her first as soon as he was free.
However, the battle ended, and Kong Mengmeng never received contact from Kong Xuan.
Because of this, she silently returned from the Real World, wanting to check her father’s dojo.
When she arrived at the dojo and did not see her father, her heart was immediately on edge.
Moreover, from the Mountain Guardian Divine Beast guarding the dojo, Kong Mengmeng learned that her father had not returned since he left for the battle.
After hearing from the Mountain Guardian Divine Beast, Kong Mengmeng became even more anxious.
She was worried that her father might have died in the battle.
Thus, Kong Mengmeng went to the dojo of the Peacock Great Ming King’s best friend, Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Guanyin Bodhisattva’s dojo is very close to that of the Peacock Great Ming King, so Kong Mengmeng quickly arrived at Guanyin Bodhisattva’s dojo.
Unfortunately, Guanyin Bodhisattva’s dojo was also empty.
After two missed attempts, Kong Mengmeng was on the verge of collapse.
When a woman collapses, she thinks of her support.
And Kong Mengmeng’s support, without a doubt, is Lin Yuan.
Hence, Kong Mengmeng thought of asking around for Lin Yuan’s whereabouts, hoping to find him and ask for news about her father.
During her search for Lin Yuan, Kong Mengmeng also heard some news about the battle.
From this information, Kong Mengmeng learned that Lin Yuan and her father were both fine.
Knowing her father did not die in the battle was the best news for Kong Mengmeng.
Kong Mengmeng thought that her father might have been injured during the battle and was recovering somewhere, which is why he had not returned to the dojo.
"Lin Yuan, I didn’t find my father at his dojo!"
"Is father also in the East Sea?" After asking this question, Kong Mengmeng looked eagerly at Lin Yuan.
The Peacock Great Ming King and Lin Yuan are the two most important people to Kong Mengmeng.
Now, Kong Mengmeng was certain of Lin Yuan’s safety.
She only needed to confirm the safety of her father, the Peacock Great Ming King, to be completely at ease.
Having received a heads-up from Guanyin Bodhisattva, Lin Yuan knew Kong Mengmeng was coming.
Prepared to deceive Kong Mengmeng, he had the situation in hand.
"Oh!"
"Didn’t your father give you a heads-up when he left?"
"This is a great fortune, perhaps your father was too excited when he left and forgot!" Lin Yuan pretended to be surprised.
A great fortune?
Hearing Lin Yuan’s words, Kong Mengmeng was momentarily taken aback.
Her father had actually encountered some great fortune?
It seems her father’s departure was not a bad thing but rather a good thing?
