"Monks do not tell lies; speak the truth!" Tang Sanzang pressed.
Finally, one of the Guardians, very embarrassed, spoke up, "That... after being out for so long, I went home to check on the dog."
"Went home to check on the dog? You had time to see a dog, but not to find me? I nearly starved to death on that crappy planet... Am I not even as good as a dog?" Tang Sanzang roared furiously.
The Guardians collectively looked toward the sky, pretending not to hear.
Tang Sanzang was instantly speechless, wailing in his heart, "Buddha, what kind of bizarre Guardians have you assigned me? They're going to be the death of me!"
...
Tang Sanzang was depressed, but at this moment, someone else was more depressed.
In the Heavenly Court, the Hall of Miraculous Mist.
In the Heavenly Court, the Palace of Li Jing.
Li Jing, with a face full of gloom, sat there drinking sulkily.
