Chapter 411 - 397: Old Sun’s giving you this staff
Xuanzang said with a smile, "Disciples, this is the Government Office. I will go in to pay respects to the King and present our documents before we can continue on our journey."
Sun Wukong replied with a smile, "Master, are you saying you’ll meet the King of Yuhua and just leave us waiting here?" Xuanzang pointed to the side and said with a smile, "Look over there. Doesn’t the sign say ’Guest House’?
"You can wait there. After I meet with the King of Yuhua, if the king offers us a meal, I will come and call you to join in."
Sun Wukong said with a smile, "Master, please go ahead. Old Sun knows what to do."
Afterwards, Xuanzang took the Pass Permit and entered the Royal Palace. Zhu Bajie tied the White Dragon Horse to a post at the entrance, and they all went to the Guest House. The staff there, seeing how ugly the three of them looked, dared not ask more or provoke them. The three of them made themselves at home and sat down at a table without waiting for an invitation.
To their surprise, no one came to serve them!
Zhu Bajie shouted, "Why is nobody taking care of us?"
Only then did a reluctant waiter come over.
The waiter approached and asked in a low voice, "May I ask where the gentlemen are from?"
Sand Monk replied with a friendly tone, "We come from the Great Tang of the Eastern Land. We dare not impose without invitation, and our master has entered the Royal Palace to exchange our Pass Permit."
"So it’s the masters from Great Tang. Please command us as you wish," said the innkeeper with a polite tone.
