In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

These three masters have such different teaching styles!

And look at this second master—Pigsy, who advocates a unique "foodie teaching method".

Pigsy, with his round belly, brandished his nine-toothed rake and shouted, "As the saying goes, food is as essential as iron; you'll get hungry if you skip a meal. To become a peerless master, you must eat a full twenty steamed buns at every meal!"

The three princes exchanged bewildered glances, thinking to themselves, "We've never heard of the more you eat, the stronger you become. But since our second master is so certain, there must be a deeper meaning behind it."

So, despite their doubts, they obediently did as Bajie said, just in case it might actually produce a miraculous effect.

Looking at the third master, Sha Wujing, he seemed indifferent, casually making a couple of gestures before sending his three disciples off to practice on their own.

Only the master Sun Wukong truly dedicated himself to teaching martial arts.

Holding the golden cudgel, he moved with lightning speed, explaining the intricacies of cudgel techniques and key points to pay special attention to when fighting.

To facilitate practice, the princes specially invited craftsmen to meticulously craft three new weapons based on the styles of their three masters' weapons, only slightly reducing their weight.

As night fell, a strange, eerie wind suddenly howled in.

In the blink of an eye, all the weapons that Sun Wukong, Zhu Bajie, and Sha Wujing had placed on the training ground were swept away.

These weapons were of extraordinary significance to the four of them, master and his disciples!

Along the way, they vanquished demons and protected Jiang Liuer and Chen Zhouyi. The divine weapons in their hands were an indispensable part of their journey.

The next morning, the princes, finding their masters' weapons missing, rushed to inform Wukong and his companions.

Upon seeing Sun Wukong and his two companions, the eldest prince exclaimed in panic, "The divine artifacts of the three masters disappeared last night!"

Sha Wujing was shocked: "What's gone?"

Pigsy: "What?! Our rake is gone?!"

Even Sun Wukong's usually calm expression changed: "Where's my golden cudgel?!"

The princes exclaimed in unison, "They're all gone!"

The princes' primary suspect was none other than the craftsman, since he had personally touched his masters' weapons in order to forge them into weapons identical to those of his masters.

The three princes ordered their guards to capture the craftsman and then hand him over to Sun Wukong and his two companions for disposal.

Sun Wukong glanced at the craftsmen kneeling on the ground, pleading their case, and waved his sleeve, saying, "They didn't steal it, let them go."

The third prince, his face full of suspicion, said angrily, "Master! It must have been them! They must have seen that the masters' weapons were extraordinary, so they stole the divine artifacts!"

The eldest and second princes echoed, "Exactly, exactly!"

"My lord! We're innocent!"

"We have absolutely not stolen anything!"

Pigsy: "Are you sure you didn't steal them? Then where did our weapons go?"

Having said that, he turned his gaze to the three princes: "Could it be that the three of you stole it?"

They are the only ones who have ever come into contact with their artifact!

The three princes waved their hands repeatedly like rattles, hurriedly explaining that they had absolutely no courage to do so.

Chen Yi, who had overheard the conversation, couldn't help but chuckle upon hearing what the others were saying.

Sun Wukong looked at the group with a helpless expression and complained to Chen Yi, "How can there be such stupid people in this world!"

Chen Yi: "Great Sage, don't look down on others for being stupid just because you are smart."

"I'm only a tiny bit smarter than them, not as smart as you. If you think they're stupid, aren't you also looking down on me?"

Sun Wukong immediately pulled Chen Yi into a tight embrace, lowered his head and kissed the corner of Chen Yi's mouth, saying softly, "I will never dislike you!"

The onlookers: ...?!

The three princes stared at Chen Yi, dumbfounded. How... how did they end up kissing?

Even though the master has hair, he is still a monk!

Sun Wukong glanced at the three who were still in a daze and said with displeasure, "What are you all standing there for? Hurry up and call for your master's wife!"

The three princes immediately came to their senses and respectfully greeted their teacher's wife.

Chen Yi smiled slightly at them, then shook his head and said, "Just call me Master Husband, I don't like the title Master's Wife."

"Greetings, Master!" The three princes exchanged glances and immediately shouted in unison.

Chen Yi was satisfied and continued, "You also have a junior brother. I'll call him out tomorrow and let him play with you."

"Yes, Master!"

Sha Wujing interjected, "Eldest brother, who do you think stole our weapons?"

Sun Wukong explained, "How could a mortal steal such a heavy weapon? It must be the work of some evil spirit."

"Fatty Pig, you'll come with me to explore the nearby mountains later and see if there's any trace of that monster."

Pigsy complained, "Why didn't you let Sandy go with you?!"

Sun Wukong glanced at Zhu Bajie casually and said, "I don't trust you to protect Master."

Pigsy: ...

The eldest prince suggested, "Why don't we accompany our master?"

The second prince was also eager to try: "Second Master! I want to go too!"

Third Prince: "Me too! Me too!"

Sun Wukong looked disgusted and said, "With your pathetic skills, you're not even enough to fill that monster's teeth. You all better stay in the palace and don't cause me any trouble. I don't want to be a burden like you!"

Upon hearing this, the three princes immediately wilted like eggplants after a frost.

Although Pigsy was unwilling, he was still carried away by Monkey King like a chick.
