"Yes, this commoner thanks you for your kindness." Ye Chen bowed deeply to show his respect for the Emperor. The Emperor didn't say anything, so Ye Chen could only slowly stand up straight.
"My dear minister, the demons in Chang 'an have been wreaking havoc for quite some time, right?" The Emperor didn't ask Ye Chen first, but asked Ye Chen's "coachman".
"Replying to Your Majesty, it has indeed been quite some time. It has been more than half a month since the first missing person case. These two demons are indeed two big problems."
"Fortunately, this little brother called Ye Chen stepped forward bravely and subdued the two demons. Now, Chang 'an has returned to its former peace, and the people are no longer in danger."
"Yes, not bad. Ye Chen, you have done a meritorious deed by killing the demons. What reward do you want? Whether it is a hundred mu of fertile land, a thousand taels of gold, or a promotion, we can satisfy you. "
"This commoner … this commoner only has one request." Ye Chen held his hands together, looked down at the ground, and whispered to the Emperor.
"Not going to let me hear it?" The Emperor looked at Ye Chen, not knowing what this youth wanted to ask. Hearing Ye Chen's difficult tone, the Emperor was somewhat curious.
"This commoner only wishes to travel with Master Xuanzang to the west and obtain the true scripture." Ye Chen said firmly.
After Ye Chen finished speaking, the hall suddenly fell into silence. The Emperor didn't say anything, Ye Chen's "coachman" also didn't say anything, and even the monks in the hall didn't move.
Ye Chen's heart slowly sank. Now, every second felt extremely long to him. He felt the Emperor's gaze on him, and he couldn't help but sweat on his forehead.
"Why?" After an unknown amount of time, the Emperor asked again in a soft voice.
"This commoner wants to help Master Xuanzang promote Buddhism." How could Ye Chen dare to speak the truth? If he said something like a System telling him that he had to go west, then he, Ye Chen, would probably be captured as a monster.
"But you are not a Buddhist. Besides, how did you know that Master Xuanzang is about to go west?" The Emperor continued to ask.
"This commoner heard rumors on the streets that the Emperor wanted Master Xuanzang to obtain the true scripture and use it to convert all living beings. From then on, this commoner's only wish was to be able to embark on the journey to the west with Master Xuanzang."
"Furthermore, this commoner has the ability to capture and kill demons. If Venerable Xuanzang encounters any danger along the way, this commoner can protect Venerable Xuanzang."
In order to travel west with Xuanzang, Ye Chen even said that he could kill demons. After Ye Chen said that, he felt a wave of regret. It seemed that he had really blown his own trumpet.
However, he wasn't without confidence. After all, he remembered all the disasters on the journey to the west. He knew that before Xuanzang met the Monkey King, they didn't encounter any monsters.
However, Ye Chen was still a little worried. After all, his appearance didn't belong to the original plot of the Journey to the West. If something happened during the time when Xuanzang met the Monkey King because of his appearance …
"Forget it, who cares. Even if we meet a monster, I'll just find a local eunuch to help me. After all, there's a God in the sky watching over me. He won't ignore my life and death."
As Ye Chen thought to this point, he suddenly felt relieved. Although it was true that he did not have the ability to kill demons, he had a strong backing. Even if he encountered a demon, he believed that he could successfully turn the situation around.
