"I'll go back to the royal city first." said the fifth Qinghua.

"Okay, thank you my dear sister, I won't let you down." The Scorpion Demon chuckled.

…

Master Jin Chanzi and his apprentice followed the female official into the palace.

In just a moment, they arrived in front of the imperial study.

At the notice of the female official, Jin Chanzi entered the room surrounded by his three brothers, Liu'er Mihou.

"Elder, are you looking for me? What's the matter?" asked the empress.

"Your Majesty, before I set out to obtain the scriptures, the Bodhisattva instructed me to ask the kings of the countries I passed through to issue a pass."

Jin Chanzi took out the document from his backpack and presented it to the empress.

Seeing that the empress was about to take the seal to stamp, the fifth blue and white flower spoke.

"Elder, there's no need to rush. We can print the document after you marry the Grand Tutor's daughter."

“This, this, this…”

Jin Chanzi was suddenly unable to respond and looked at Liu'er Mihou.

The latter understood and hurried forward and said, "We are on our journey to obtain the scriptures. The journey is very urgent and we can't stay too long."

"The journey to obtain the scriptures is so long, it won't have any impact if you stop for a day or two. Besides, your master is getting married, which is such a major event in his life. As his disciples, why don't you attend it before leaving?" said the Fifth Qinghua.

"No, we cannot delay even a moment in our quest for the scriptures. We have already stayed in your country for several days and cannot delay any further, otherwise the Buddha will be displeased."

Jin Chanzi hurriedly refused. It was different from the plan.

"Elder, you have already promised the Grand Master to marry his daughter. You don't need to go on the journey to obtain the scriptures. Your disciple is fast and will not be delayed. He may even be able to obtain the scriptures faster than escorting you."

Diwu Qinghua's words made Jin Chanzi very anxious. Every word he said made sense and he could not refute it.

The six-eared macaque next to him was also rolling his eyes, trying to think of a solution.

Without waiting for their response, Diwu Qinghua spoke again.

"Could it be that the elder wants to stamp the document, then break the engagement and use it as an excuse to leave? Elder, agreeing to a marriage and then breaking it off is not an act of justice."

“This…this…”

Jin Chanzi was sweating profusely. He was a good talker, but when faced with this matter, he suddenly became at a loss.

After Diwu Qinghua said this, the empress immediately understood the plan, withdrew her hand from the jade seal, and looked at Jin Chanzi with a smile.

"Elder, how about this? We'll get engaged this afternoon, and tomorrow I'll give your disciples the written permission to leave Xiliang. How about that?"

"This~"

Just as Jin Chanzi was about to refuse, he was interrupted by Liu Er Mihou, who took over the conversation.

"Yes, yes."

"Beautiful Majesty, how about this? You arrange a marriage for me, and I'll get married too. I won't go either..."

Zhu Bajie stepped forward to speak, but halfway through his words, the Six-Eared Macaque grabbed his ears and pulled him back.

"Your Majesty, he is talking nonsense. Don't pay attention to him." said the Six-Eared Macaque.

"You're talking nonsense. To obtain the scriptures, you need to marry a wife, right? Whoever wants to obtain the scriptures can do so." Zhu Bajie stepped aside and said resentfully, "Master, you can marry a wife and live happily, why can't I?"

"Bajie, why are you talking nonsense?" Jin Chanzi was furious.

"Your Majesty, we will take our leave first." The six-eared macaque grabbed Zhu Bajie's ear and left.
