Abbot Huineng put his palms together, "To share the burden of the Holy Master and Senior Brother, how could there be any talk of hardship,"
He raised his head, looking at the young monk before him, "Senior Brother, you truly conceal your abilities deeply, most impressive. With you and the Holy Master at the helm, surely the White Lotus World will descend,"
The Future Maitreya gave a soft sigh, "You've heard about what happened in the Southern Wilderness?"
Huineng nodded, "I have,"
The Future Maitreya said, "Running all the way for nothing and becoming the target of all, it was hardly a good thing,"
"Your concerns are well-founded," Huineng replied, "But with the news spreading, your reputation within the sect has soared. Master Jingshan and Junior Brother Huizhen have both lowered their banners and remained quiet for now, not daring to make any move,"
The Future Maitreya shook his head slightly, "Palliative measures, not a cure,"
