"Directly ask him?"
Great White Plane's eyes flickered as he said, "Wouldn't that be too deliberate? Besides, there's something odd about his Flowing Sand River Cave now. He doesn't come out, and I can't get in either."
Maitreya Buddha smiled and said, "In a few days, I will personally go to find him."
Great White Plane and the Jade Emperor exchanged a look, shrugged, and didn't care. After all, they had already handed the person over. If Buddhism wanted to verify the goods, they naturally wouldn't stop it. As for why Maitreya Buddha took the initiative instead of working through Buddhism's spokesperson, The Goddness of Mercy, they didn't care about that either.
However, they also knew the reason. It was simply because the people of Buddhism were also vying for power and profit, planning to dip into the grand undertaking of the journey to the west to get a share and recruit people early on.
