The voice from within the painting was obviously suppressing itself with great difficulty.
The voice, seemingly scorched by rage, wavered slightly: "Does the Hanging Monastery truly intend to stand against Great Scenery? Did you consult your abbot on this decision?"
Ku Jue glared: "This is a personal matter between me, my dear disciple, and Zhao Xuenyang. The three of us! This has nothing to do with the Hanging Monastery! I need to ask you—if I intend to rescue my disciple now, do you plan to oppose me, Ku Jue?"
The voice in the painting carried an undertone of anger: "I hold respect for the Hanging Monastery. Matters involving both sides bear the weight of thousands of tons, not something you alone can decide with a single word. You'd better ask your abbot!"
Clearly, the speaker was well aware that the Hanging Monastery would not make a grand display for someone like Jiang Wang. Ku Jue's crossing today likely stemmed from personal motives.
