Kapitel 832: Chapter 518: Pleading_2

"I dare not!"

Great Mercy shook his head, his expression serious as he said, "I'm here only for one request!"

"Hmm?"

Xu Yang's gaze sharpened, and he asked in a deep voice, "What request?"

"Dare I ask the Emperor to join our Buddhism!"

Great Mercy's words were as shocking as a thunderbolt.

"..."

Xu Yang fell into silence, then flicked his sleeve, "Is the Bodhisattva joking with this poor Taoist?"

"It is no joke!"

Great Mercy's expression remained unchanged, resolute: "Once the Taoist friend joins our Buddhism, he will become the third Patriarch of our Buddhism, sitting on an equal footing with the two Buddha Ancestors and be one of the three esteemed ones of Buddhism, jointly governing the southeastern provinces. Even if the four of us were to prove the Dao, we will remain below the Taoist friend and the two Buddha Ancestors, never overstepping our bounds by half a step."

The offer was just as astounding.
