Xuanzang was no fool, he knew that this monastery's master would never truly punish him; he was now using the Bodhisattva Guanyin and himself to threaten the master.
After all, he only had this one disciple, whom he would surely encounter so many monsters with along the way. Relying solely on himself, he could never reach Western Heaven; surely, his disciple would have to accompany him.
If the disciple didn't go, then he, as a master, definitely couldn't leave either.
Besides, the Six-Eared Macaque had only stolen two Ginseng Fruits, and for these two fruits, the master actually contemplated punishing him with his disciple's life—this was undeniably too severe.
Master Zhenyuan was somewhat angry, if at first he hadn't felt much, by now he had confirmed that the monk was indeed threatening him. His audacity was too great, daring to threaten him—perhaps he really didn't know how to write the word 'death'?
