Wu Feng said with a smile in his tone.

Sun Wukong stood in place for a long time, as if he had suddenly realized something.

He looked up at Tang Seng, who had already swept to the fourth floor.

Some dust drifted down, which was a bit choking. Sun Wukong watched Tang Seng sweeping the pagoda with incomparable piety.

For the sake of the Buddha in his heart, he did not have the slightest suspicion.

This task of sweeping the pagoda was quite physically demanding for a mortal. Tang Seng was clearly already panting and constantly wiping sweat with his hands, yet he was still sweeping earnestly.

Sun Wukong took two steps in one and quickly arrived at Tang Seng's side. With a smile in his eyes, he said, "Master, this pagoda has seven floors, and each floor's staircase has thirty or forty steps. Why don't we do this: I'll cast a spell to let the broom sweep the entire pagoda clean by itself."

Tang Seng turned his head back, looking a bit angry, and said, "Absolutely not!"

"Since we came to sweep the pagoda, it is to verify our sincerity toward the Buddha. If we use magic to sweep it, what would be the meaning of it?"

Sun Wukong curled his lips upon hearing this and said listlessly, "Alright, then let's sweep it slowly like this."

Thus, the two of them swept step by step along the stairs. Tang Seng remained as earnest as ever, while Sun Wukong initially maintained his lazy posture, looking just like someone slacking off.

Tang Seng did not scold him, just kept his head down and swept on his own.

The interior of the pagoda was extremely quiet, with no one coming to disturb them. At this time, those monks were all gathered at the base of the pagoda.

And what was rare was that Sun Wukong and Tang Seng had not been alone together like this for a very, very long time.

Sun Wukong recalled many past events. He remembered the first time he met Tang Seng; at that time, Tang Seng saw him pressed under Mount Wuzhi, covered in moss, looking utterly wretched.

He would never forget that sympathetic and compassionate look in Tang Seng's eyes.

His first impression of Tang Seng was also quite good, because Tang Seng helped him remove the talisman spell on Mount Wuzhi.

But later, conflicts arose between master and disciple. He was naturally mischievous and hated evil with a passion. After he beat many robbers to death in a household for the first time, Tang Seng wanted to drive him away.

Although he eventually returned under the influence of Guanyin, he had already formed an opinion of Tang Seng by then.

No one knew Sun Wukong's true inner thoughts. If he really had to say it, he had long been eager to return to Mount Huaguo and continue being the king of those monkeys. ===== CHAPTER 2452 =====
