Goku came down and said, "Master, I saw a few peach trees not far ahead. I'll go pick some. Stay here and don't wander off. Wait for me to come back."
"Go quickly and come back quickly, Goku," Tang Sanzang said.
Before leaving, Goku glanced at Tang Sanzang, still worried, and drew a circle around him.

"I'll remember," Tang Sanzang responded.
"Bajie, keep a close eye on Master. If anything happens to him today, I'll hold you responsible," Goku called out.

A young maiden suddenly came over. Ye Chen glanced at her but said nothing.
Bajie went over to greet her.

Ye Chen watched without saying a word, quietly resting with his eyes closed. There were some things he couldn't change. This was a trial, after all. If they didn't succeed, it wouldn't count as a test or as
