They were called uninvited guests.
In truth, the people who arrived were all acquaintances of Su Qing.
However, Su Qing felt a bit surprised.
After all, she truly hadn't expected that just as she had finished setting up her house, these people would come knocking on her door.
What surprised her even more was...
These people had actually recognized her.
"You seem a bit surprised?" Seeing Su Qing's dazed expression, the Old Mother of Mount Li couldn't help but show a look of triumph as she said, "Is it very unexpected that we would find you, and even know that you are Su Qing?"
Su Qing rolled her eyes, nodded, and said, "That is indeed quite unexpected."
That’s right, the ones who had come knocking this time were none other than Guanyin Bodhisattva, Puxian Bodhisattva, Wenshu Bodhisattva, and the Old Mother of Mount Li...
This was why Su Qing was so surprised.
The Old Mother of Mount Li chuckled and said, "You were foolish to go to that fellow Laojun for a secret technique. Do you think that big mouth of his could help you keep a secret? Never mind you, even that old fellow Bodhi has been sold out by him more times than I can count."
Hearing this, the corner of Su Qing's mouth twitched slightly. Although she hadn't intended to keep the matter hidden, she truly hadn't expected that Laojun would directly tell others about her business.
Well, there was nothing wrong with that.
It just meant she would have a bit less fun.
Su Qing spread her hands and said, "Fine! I really shouldn't have trusted that fellow Laojun. However, I'm curious, how did you know I would come here, Old Mother?"
"Would you believe me if I said it was a coincidence?"
The Old Mother of Mount Li smiled and said, "Originally, the few of us planned to transform into a mother and her daughters here to wait for Tang Sanzang and the others to arrive. Who would have thought that before we could wait for Tang Sanzang, we would wait for you first? So, seeing that you had already built a house, we thought we'd come say hello and, while we're at it, ask you to help out. Who told you to arrive at such a perfect time?"
Upon hearing this answer, Su Qing's mouth couldn't help but twitch...
Could she really be that coincidental?
To run right into them?
Su Qing sighed softly and said, "Then, Senior, what do you want to drag me into doing?"
She knew that her plan to watch the show from the sidelines had fallen through...
Now she would likely be dragged into the play by these few.
Although being dragged into acting would certainly be more troublesome than her original plan...
It wouldn't actually be much more trouble.
It was just a shift from being an audience member to an actor, which was somewhat depressing.
The Old Mother of Mount Li knew this girl wouldn't refuse.
So she chuckled and said, "It's actually not hard. I just want you to play my daughter."
"That doesn't really matter... but can you tell me, Senior, why you insist on staging such a play here?" Su Qing nodded and inquired.
The Old Mother of Mount Li smiled, while Guanyin Bodhisattva, who was beside her, spoke up, "Naturally, it is because you, girl, disrupted the original tribulation. Therefore, to ensure the Eighty-One Tribulations, we have come to stage this play. However, this is not to blame you... just to explain the situation to you."
Su Qing's mouth twitched slightly.
And the Old Mother of Mount Li continued, "Even though you made off with the Queen of Women's Kingdom, the water of the Mother-Child River is still here. Therefore, when Tang Sanzang crosses the river, he will still drink that water."
Hearing this, Su Qing roughly understood what the Old Mother meant...
She then asked, "And then we go to guide them to find the cure? However, wouldn't it be too easy to let them find the cure directly?"
Guanyin Bodhisattva naturally understood Su Qing's words. She nodded and said, "That is also why I have come this time."
"Ah? Is Senior Guanyin prepared to play the villain?"
"What? Do you want to play the villain?" Senior Guanyin asked calmly.
Su Qing scratched her head and said, "I don't want to play the villain! It's just that Senior Guanyin going to play the villain is a bit unexpected to me."
"Hmph, if there were a better candidate, I certainly wouldn't play the villain myself," Guanyin snorted coldly.
Su Qing gave a cheeky grin.
Seeing the girl like this, Guanyin gave another light snort, then picked up the willow branch from her Jade Pure Vase, dipped it in a few drops of water, and sprinkled them over Su Qing.
Instantly, Su Qing's aura weakened.
In a few moments, it disappeared without a trace.
At this moment, Su Qing seemed like a mortal... not a single speck of spiritual Qi could be felt from her.
Su Qing also felt her own condition. Although her power could still be used, her aura was forced to be completely internalized.
Clearly, this was Senior Guanyin's doing.
"You came here with a clone; the secret technique to suppress your aura would likely be seen through by Wukong's Fiery Golden Eyes. I just helped you suppress your aura a bit further... Now, never mind Wukong, even if Laojun came, he wouldn't notice you're an immortal if he wasn't paying attention."
Guanyin placed the willow branch back into the Jade Pure Vase and spoke plainly to Su Qing.
Although Guanyin was still annoyed with Su Qing, annoyance was one thing, but when it came to official business, Guanyin would not sabotage her.
She was still very principled.
Su Qing nodded and said, "Thank you, Senior Guanyin."
"It was only to ensure you aren't exposed," Guanyin said indifferently. "Since we've decided to pull you in, we must naturally get you sorted out."
Su Qing smiled and then said, "I understand!"
"Hmph, alright. Do you plan to keep us standing outside the whole time?" Guanyin said, "It will still be a while before Tang Sanzang and the others arrive, so let's go inside and chat for a bit!"
Su Qing had no objection to this, saying only, "That is naturally no problem, but my thatched hut is very simple, and there isn't even any furniture inside... I'm afraid it won't be very good for receiving you seniors."
"No matter," Guanyin shook her head and said, "It's just a small matter."
After saying that, Guanyin waved her slender hand.
The original thatched hut instantly transformed into a small farm courtyard.
Seeing such a method, Su Qing was also slightly surprised...
"Senior... you didn't keep a farm courtyard inside your Sleeve Universe, did you?" Su Qing opened her mouth and asked.
Guanyin glanced at her and then ignored her.
It seemed she found her a bit annoying.
Su Qing scratched her head...
Well, this was the first time she had been found annoying by someone else.
But she didn't care much.
She just walked into the small courtyard...
The courtyard was arranged very warmly, not looking like it was newly built at all; every corner revealed the atmosphere of having been lived in.
From this alone, one could see Guanyin's care in this regard.
And after walking into the courtyard.
Guanyin transformed into the appearance of a wicked Daoist...
As for why a wicked Daoist.
It was because the appearance Guanyin had taken didn't look like a good person at first glance.
At the same time, the Old Mother also transformed into a beautiful woman who still retained her grace...
Although she wore coarse hempen clothes that looked exceptionally cheap, her perfect figure could still be seen.
Combined with that extremely good face.
Truly a beautiful woman.
As for the two Bodhisattvas, they transformed into two young and beautiful women.
Although their clothes were still relatively ordinary.
Their beauty could not be hidden.
Seeing this scene, Su Qing rubbed her chin and thought to herself, "As expected, when Bodhisattvas transform, they also like to become beautiful?"
However, she didn't think there was any problem with this...
Everyone has a love for beauty!
Seeing that everyone had changed their appearance, Su Qing couldn't help but ask, "You've all changed, should I change into something else too?"
"Wukong won't recognize you anyway, so there's no need for you to change. Just use this appearance!" The Old Mother of Mount Li smiled and said, "From now on, you shall call me Mother!"
Hearing this, Su Qing's mouth twitched slightly, but she still nodded...
How should she put it!
The Old Mother of Mount Li wasn't exactly taking advantage of her.
After all, never mind being her mother, the Old Mother of Mount Li was more than qualified to be her grandmother.
"What about the two Bodhisattvas?"
"You are their Third Sister~" the Old Mother of Mount Li said naturally.
Su Qing thought to herself, "As expected," and then nodded, saying, "That works too!"
Seeing Su Qing nod in agreement.
The Old Mother of Mount Li chuckled and said, "Alright, now that the identities are arranged... there's no more official business. Let's chat for a while!"
Su Qing didn't mind this, nodding and saying, "I will follow your lead, seniors."
She was the only junior here, so she didn't have much to say...
And so, the few of them sat in the courtyard and chatted.
They called it chatting, but it was actually Su Qing being questioned by the seniors.
Among them, the one who asked the most was naturally Guanyin Bodhisattva.
Guanyin was truly worried about her Dragon Girl...
She asked many things about her.
Su Qing was exceptionally helpless about this, but she wasn't impatient.
She just answered Guanyin one by one.
After all, Ao Yiyi was right by her side, so Su Qing naturally knew a great deal about her affairs.
"Senior... if you're so worried about Yiyi, why don't you go see her yourself?" Su Qing smiled helplessly.
Hearing this, Guanyin was stunned for a moment and said, "Yiyi? Is that the mortal name you gave her?"
"Mhm."
"Naturally, I want to go see her, but if I go, I will definitely take her away. Do you still wish for me to see her then?"
"Then forget it, I still hope Ao Yiyi stays by my side!"
Guanyin: "..."
Guanyin was starting to grit her teeth...
Su Qing's words were truly easy to misunderstand.
She sighed and said, "In any case, as long as I know she's fine, that's enough. As for that answer she's seeking... what's the situation now?"
"Ah! I'm not clear on that. I'm afraid only Ao Yiyi herself would know."
"..." Guanyin's mouth twitched slightly upon hearing this.
She always had a feeling that Ao Yiyi herself didn't even know how her search was going.
After all, Ao Yiyi was her disciple, and they had been together for so many years.
Did she not know what kind of character her disciple had?
"Forget it, just take good care of her," Guanyin said helplessly. "Additionally, don't find me long-winded, but that Pearl-Bearing Dragon Girl of mine is a Buddhist disciple; she cannot be made off with by you!"
Su Qing spread her hands and said, "Rest assured, I have never made off with her, okay!"
Guanyin waved her hand, not bothering to waste more words with her, and simply stood up to leave the courtyard.
As she was leaving, she said, "I'm going to the Abortion Spring. When the time comes, you all just lead Wukong over there."
Su Qing nodded and said, "Understood, Senior."
"Don't be too heavy-handed when the time comes..." The Old Mother of Mount Li spoke up as she saw Guanyin leave.
Guanyin: "..."
Guanyin didn't speak and disappeared in an instant.
After seeing Guanyin leave, Su Qing said, "Well, it's getting late. I'll go cook! Is there anything you seniors want to eat?"
"You decide," the Old Mother of Mount Li said with a beaming smile. "Just make some of your specialty dishes! I'm also very curious about how your skills actually are!"
"It's just some home-cooked skills, not comparable to the delicacies of the Heavenly Palace." Su Qing shook her head, not being boastful. "I don't know if it will suit your tastes, seniors."
"No matter~ I'm just curious about your skills," the Old Mother of Mount Li said. "I just want to know how your skills compare to Suzhen's, and whose are better."
"Then it's definitely Little Bai's skills that are better," Su Qing smiled and said. "Then I'll go cook..."
The Old Mother of Mount Li didn't stop her, nodding with a smile and saying, "Go on! Oh, right, Wukong and the others won't be here for a long time! You don't need to worry."
Su Qing nodded and silently walked into the kitchen.
Su Qing's skills were naturally excellent.
In just a short while, the meal was ready.
Because she considered the two Bodhisattvas, everything Su Qing made this time was mainly light vegetarian dishes.
After all, she couldn't only consider the Old Mother and ignore the two Bodhisattva seniors, right?
"Mhm, as expected of Suzhen's sweetheart, these skills are indeed good, on par with that girl's." After eating Su Qing's meal, the Old Mother of Mount Li also gave a good evaluation.
As for the two Bodhisattvas' evaluations, they were similarly quite high.
It was just unknown how much of it was genuine and how much was for the sake of Su Qing and the Old Mother.
But Su Qing didn't care much either.
After lunch.
Su Qing and the others' life here gradually became like that of an ordinary mother and her daughters.
This was naturally starting the roleplay in advance...
It was also to ensure that when the people arrived, no obvious flaws would be shown.
Just like that, five or six days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this day.
A monk riding a white horse, leading several strange-looking monks, walked to the outside of the Mother-Child River in the Women's Kingdom of Xiliang.
"Master... I'm afraid we'll have to cross the river." Wukong shaded his eyes with his hand, looking into the distance as he spoke.
"I'm afraid we will have to cross the river," Tang Sanzang said, looking into the distance. "Wukong, go up into the sky and see if there are any boatmen nearby?"
"Master, why would I need to go into the sky to see? Look over there, isn't there a boatman?" Zhu Bajie said, pointing at a ferry slowly coming over in the distance. "Hehe, it's even a woman rowing the boat!"
"Strange, where is the man of her house? Why let a woman row the boat?" Tang Sanzang's brow furrowed upon hearing this.
