"Follow your master well, and you won't be schemed against by others, and you'll have your own life."
Zhen Yuanzi earnestly advised the Little Monkey.
"Also, this vegetable garden originally belongs to your master. After I leave in a while, as long as your master permits, you can come anytime."
Hearing this, Su Mu asked in surprise, "Fellow Daoist Yuan is leaving?"
Zhen Yuanzi smiled bitterly, "Leaving in a few days."
Because he can't stay in the River of Time forever; the rules of the River of Time would slowly devour him, and he would accumulate more and more karma.
So, he generally resides in the River of Time for a while and then leaves to return to his original world to cleanse his accumulated karma. Once adjusted, he comes back to reside in the River of Time for a while.
Rather than saying it's residing, it is more like avoiding for a while.
