Goku had indeed been in terrible pain just now, but after putting on the Tightening Headband Spell, he had recovered considerably.
Still, something felt strange. Having a Tightening Headband Spell sitting atop his head was truly uncomfortable.
"Keep the Tightening Headband Spell on from now on. That way, the violent aura within you won't emerge so easily. If it does, the Tightening Headband Spell can be used to suppress it," Uchiha Shin said to Goku.
Goku nodded without saying much.
"Second Brother Yang, we'll be taking our leave now." Uchiha Shin took Goku away from the East Blue and headed toward Xuanzang.
Ever since Goku had left Xuanzang, Xuanzang had been traveling alone across the continent, leading his horse.
Nothing much had happened along the way. Though some bandits had set their sights on him, Xuanzang had driven them all back.
Xuanzang was not in a good mood. With Goku gone, traveling alone was truly rather lonely.
Xuanzang had never felt this way before, but after traveling with Goku, he had developed this feeling.
Xuanzang sat down on a rock and shook his head helplessly. He took out some dry provisions from his bundle, sat to one side, and quietly ate.
Then he saw two clouds drifting over from the distant sky before descending in front of him.
Xuanzang's eyes immediately lit up. "Brother Shin, Goku!"
Goku stood there and looked at Xuanzang, feeling somewhat awkward. After all, he had stormed off after saying such harsh things. Returning now was inevitably a little embarrassing.
Uchiha Shin walked over with a smile. "Xuanzang, Goku didn't leave because he truly wanted to leave you, nor did he really hate you. It was because violent aura emerged within his body, and he was afraid of dragging you into it, so he left."
