In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

After they had eaten and drunk their fill, Chen Yi suddenly cried out in surprise.

"Great Sage, that fool Pigsy doesn't know you haven't left. He must have gone to Flower Fruit Mountain to look for you!"

"This is how to do?!"

Sun Wukong frowned slightly: "What does he want with me?"

Chen Yi quickly replied, "Of course I'm here to bring you back to save me."

Sun Wukong crossed his arms, a slight smile playing on his lips as he looked at Chen Yi: "Heh... not to mention, how would you know?"

Chen Yi hurriedly replied, "Great Sage, I... actually know some things about the future."

Sun Wukong raised an eyebrow at him: "Aren't you a monk? How come you can do divination like that Taoist priest?"

Chen Yi: "Hey, Great Sage, don't worry about these trivial details. They're not important."

"Great Sage, please, please bring Pigsy back to me."

Sun Wukong: "Alright, just wait."

Sun Wukong's movements were as swift as lightning.

The next day at noon, they brought Pigsy back.

In the afternoon, the two brothers went to rescue Wujing without stopping.

That night, the three disciples successfully brought Baihuaxiu back.

After the princess returned, Chen Yi's human identity was confirmed, and the king, to thank them, gave them a lot of wealth and food.

After bidding farewell, the master and his disciples embarked on their journey to obtain the scriptures once again.

……

early morning.

Chen Yi was still fast asleep in the shed when Sun Wukong, who was lying next to him, opened his eyes, glanced at the person sleeping in his arms, and couldn't help but curl the corners of his mouth into a smile.

He got up quietly and walked out of the shed, where he saw Sha Wujing cooking porridge.

Sun Wukong walked over and said, "Junior brother, go and wake up Bajie and tell him to go patrol the mountain."

Sha Wujing nodded and walked into another thatched hut. He patted Zhu Bajie lying on the ground and called out, "Second Brother, get up. Eldest Brother wants you to patrol the mountain."

Pigsy rolled over: "I'm not going."

Sha Wujing shrugged: "Alright then, I'll go tell my senior brother."

Pigsy paused, then immediately sat up, grabbed Sandy's arm, and said irritably, "I'll go! I'll go, okay?"

Sha Wujing: "Second brother, get up quickly."

Pigsy: "I know, I know."

Seeing that Pigsy had gotten up, Sandy came out of the shed and continued cooking.

After walking for a while, Pigsy started cursing.

"Bah! Time to patrol the mountain!"

"Ouch! You wretched ant, you're bullying me too!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his foot and kicked the ants on the ground away.

Seeing that he had kicked a few ants to death on the ground, he rolled his eyes guiltily, then pretended nothing had happened and continued climbing.

……

When Chen Yi got up, he didn't see Zhu Bajie. After asking around, he learned from Sha Wujing that Zhu Bajie had been called by Sun Wukong to patrol the mountain.

Chen Yi's face darkened. It seemed that Zhu Bajie had fallen asleep halfway through his patrol.

Chen Yi hurriedly went to find Sun Wukong.

"Great Sage! Great Sage! Go and find Pigsy, he's probably asleep in some burrow again."

"I'll go right away."

Sun Wukong continued to remind him, "Remember to finish your porridge."

Chen nodded and said seriously, "I know, I know, I will definitely finish the porridge."

Sun Wukong narrowed his eyes and warned, "Little monk, don't try to fool me. I'll have my junior brother keep an eye on you."

Chen Yi's face fell, and he said weakly, "I understand..."

During this period, because there was nowhere to beg for alms, he ate plain porridge every day, and he ran out of pickled vegetables. He was almost sick of it.

There's also Sun Wukong watching over him every day, so he can't even eat less.

After Sun Wukong left, Chen Yi held a large bowl of porridge, looking dazed.

Sha Wujing said with a sympathetic look, "Master, this porridge was served to you by your eldest brother. He said you should finish it."

Chen Yi replied listlessly, "I understand..."
