In the end, the Great Sage broke the rules.

Chapter 187 We Are Closer

With her young son in her left hand and carrying large and small bags in her right, Chen Yi strolled back and forth through the bustling and brightly lit lantern festival.

The father and son looked around excitedly, stopping every now and then in front of an interesting stall to pick out all sorts of novelties.

Before they knew it, time had slipped away and night had fallen, but they remained in high spirits, completely immersed in the joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

As the bright moon hung high in the sky, Chen Yi realized it was getting late, so he slowly embarked on his journey home with his son.

Finally, we returned to the temple in the dead of night when all was quiet.

As soon as Chen stepped into the house, he caught a glimpse of a figure sitting quietly at the table out of the corner of his eye.

Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be Sun Wukong!

Upon seeing Chen Yi, Sun Wukong immediately sprang up from his seat and strode over.

Before Chen Yi could even react, Sun Wukong's large, hairy hands began to search all over Chen Yi's body, as if looking for something important.

After a thorough examination, Sun Wukong was relieved to find that Chen Yi was not injured, and his tense expression relaxed.

Chen Yi looked puzzled, a hint of confusion in his eyes, and asked, "Great Sage, what's wrong with you? Why are you so nervous?"

Sun Wukong pointed towards the bedside, shrugged helplessly, and said, "Just look at those two lying on the bed, and you'll understand."

Chen Yi looked in the direction Sun Wukong pointed and his eyes widened instantly.

There were two people lying haphazardly on the bed; they were Pigsy and Sandy.

They were asleep, but their faces were swollen and looked like two giant pig heads.

Especially around his once round nose, it was covered in bruises, as if he had been severely beaten.

Chen Yi was stunned. His mouth was slightly open, and he stammered, "What...what exactly is going on?"

Sun Wukong frowned and explained, "It's all the fault of those common people! We've explained to them that the three Bodhisattvas are demons, but they still attacked us."

"I ran fast and wasn't hurt. Pigsy and Sandy were a bit slower and got hit by things thrown at them by the people, and that's how they ended up like this."

"It's a good thing you're a bit far from us tonight, otherwise you would have been implicated too."

"But next time you leave, you must tell me in advance. Otherwise, I'll get worried."

He was only distracted for a moment, and Chen Yi and his son had disappeared. He was terrified.

I searched the streets for a long time but couldn't find the father and son. I thought they had come back first, so I went back to the temple.

Hearing this, Chen Yi felt a lingering fear and secretly rejoiced that he hadn't stayed there with them.

Chen Yi: "I understand. I'll definitely follow you closely next time."

Sun Wukong: "Hmm."

Chen Yi: "By the way, Da Sheng, didn't you go to rescue Brother Jiang?"

Mentioning Jiang Liuer, Sun Wukong's expression turned cold: "I'm not going. I was angry because of what he said about you today. Besides, he trusts those three fake bodhisattvas so much, so let him stay with the demons for a few more days."

Anyway, with the Duty Officer and the Five Directions Protector watching over him, the monster won't actually eat him.

Chen Yi sighed and said, "I shouldn't have been so close to you in front of him. After all, he is your real master. He's probably jealous."

Sun Wukong replied with a stern face: "But if it weren't for him, you wouldn't have become him."

"You suffered so many hardships for him, but in the end, he was the one who became a Buddha. He stole your credit, so how could he have the nerve to say such a thing?"

"Besides, even if he is my master, you are the person I am closest to. Once we're in bed, we're inseparable..."

Chen Yi quickly covered Sun Wukong's wide-open mouth and said irritably, "Eleventh is still here, Great Sage, be careful!"

While burying himself in eating pastries, Shiyi heard his name called and looked up blankly.

Chen Yi patted him and laughed, "Good boy, keep eating."

Eleven obediently responded and then lowered his head to continue working hard. Today, both fathers were busy chatting and had no time to pay attention to him, so he could eat lots of sweet cakes.
