Little White Dragon and Xuanzang both looked at Goku curiously. Goku did not usually smile so casually, except when he was talking with them.
Goku stood up. "This Black Bear demon is an old friend of mine."
"Hm?" The two looked at Little White Dragon, surprise in their eyes. This was your friend?
"This Black Bear demon is actually your friend? Then why is he still opposing us?" Xuanzang asked.
Goku was stunned as well. Right—Black Bear was his friend. Over the years, he had gradually forgotten about Black Bear, which was only natural. They had rarely met, and he had also been trapped beneath Five Elements Mountain.
But Black Bear was different. He should have remembered him. After all, he was Goku, the Great Sage Equaling Heaven of the Three Realms. Who in the Three Realms did not know his name?
Yet after seeing him, why had Black Bear failed to recognize him and instead fought him so fiercely?
Goku found this deeply puzzling, but for now, he could only keep his doubts to himself.
When Black Bear came out again, he would ask him about it.
The three waited outside the gate for an hour, but Black Bear still did not come out.
"Let's not rush it. Let's go eat first. This poor monk is getting a little hungry," Xuanzang said to the two with a smile.
Goku agreed, and they returned to Guanyin Monastery. The monks were all dealing with the burned buildings. Although the entire Guanyin Monastery had suffered a great fire, some rooms had escaped the disaster and remained usable.
After eating there, the three returned to Black Wind Mountain.
Black Bear emerged with his weapon in hand, leading his demons behind him.
Goku stared at Black Bear, studying him closely, before a smile appeared
