Getting to Know Each Other

After listening to Sun Wukong's summary, Tang Xuanzang immediately nodded in agreement.

Sun Wukong was completely stunned after seeing Tang Xuanzang's reaction.

"My master is good in every way, except that he talks a lot."

"Of the things I asked him, 70% of his answers were irrelevant, 20% were nonsense, and only the remaining 10% were the answers I wanted to know."

"When I chat with him, I have to be constantly aware that I need to stop all his flowers, then weed out the irrelevant ones, then the useless ones, and only the tiny bit left can be considered the answer I want."

Thinking of this, Sun Wukong was filled with grief and indignation, and tears streamed down his face.

After walking for a while, the two of them came to an orchard.

"Master, I was going to give you those two fish to grill, but you told me not to, afraid I would break Buddhist Order rules by killing. But there are fruit trees all around here, so I'll pick some fruit for you to eat, is that alright?"

"Besides, we've been traveling for so long, and you and your white horse must be hungry. Let's rest here for a bit, let the horse graze, and you can have some fruit to tide you over."

Not long after entering the orchard, Sun Wukong spoke to Tang Xuanzang.

"Good disciple, as long as it's not something like killing or violating Buddhist Order precepts, I will listen to you completely."

"Then I'll trouble you to help me gather some fruit to fill my stomach."

"It's alright, my dear. I'm going to graze over there. My disciple, once you've picked the fruit, come find me over there."

After listening to Sun Wukong's words, Tang Xuanzang realized that this did not violate the precepts of Buddhist Order, so he agreed.

"Alright, Master, take the white horse over there to graze. I'll head over as soon as I get the fruit."

Sun Wukong was somewhat surprised that Tang Xuanzang agreed so readily, but he didn't think much of it. He ran towards his favorite peach tree while saying to Tang Xuanzang.

"Um!"

Tang Xuanzang responded and led the white horse king to the grassland.

Sun Wukong moved very quickly, and soon arrived at Tang Xuanzang's side with a large bunch of peaches. Looking at the huge pile of peaches in front of him, he immediately felt a bit overwhelmed.

If he were to eat only peaches in one meal, he might die from diarrhea.

"Wukong, your master can't possibly eat peaches for the entire meal. You're not just picking some for me; you can feed me the rest."

He had no choice but to ask Sun Wukong to pick some more fruit for him.

"Okay, Master, please wait here for a moment."

Sun Wukong didn't ask any further questions about why Tang Xuanzang had told him to do this, and then he ran directly towards the other fruit trees with larger fruits.

"Master, have some fruit."

Sun Wukong moved quickly, and soon returned to Tang Xuanzang's side with a large pile of fruit.

Tang Xuanzang didn't stand on ceremony with Sun Wukong and grabbed a fruit to eat.

After Tang Xuanzang finished eating, Sun Wukong finished off the remaining fruit. The two of them then rode off together, one on a white horse and the other walking ahead, continuing their journey towards the Western Heaven.

"Roar roar roar roar!"

The two had only walked a few miles out of the orchard when they encountered a tiger.

The tiger looked like it hadn't eaten anything for several days, and its eyes were filled with desire as it looked at Tang Xuanzang and Sun Wukong.

They are ready and could pounce on them at any moment.

"Master, quickly ride your white horse back! Let us deal with this tiger today!"

"Let him know who he should mess with and who he shouldn't, so he'll be more discerning in his next life."

Upon seeing this tiger, Sun Wukong immediately spoke to Tang Xuanzang, wanting to show off in front of him.

"No, Wukong, step back and let me handle this. I am not only highly accomplished in Buddhism, but I am also quite skilled in martial arts. I can easily take down a tiger of this size."

However, to Sun Wukong's surprise, Tang Xuanzang refused his request and said that he would fight the tiger himself.

"Master, please don't lie to me. My mission is to deliver you safely to the Western Heaven to retrieve the sacred scriptures."

"Besides, how could you, a mere mortal, possibly defeat a tiger?"

Sun Wukong clearly did not believe in Tang Xuanzang's strength, because for a human, fighting a tiger one-on-one is simply impossible.

It's not even a match for a tiger.

However, Tang Xuanzang declared that he would fight the tiger with his bare hands.

"Wukong, I haven't told you this, but when I was young, I not only studied Buddhism, but I also learned some minor Law Technique. However, I was self-taught, so the power of my Law Technique is a bit weak, but it's more than enough to deal with this tiger."

Tang Xuanzang began to recount his childhood experiences to Sun Wukong, and confidently declared that he could easily defeat the tiger.

"Alright, Master."

"Since you're determined to deal with this tiger and confident you can take it down, I won't compete with you. However, I'll observe from the sidelines so that I can call you back in time if anything unexpected happens, preventing any major disaster."

Having no other choice, Sun Wukong reluctantly agreed to Tang Xuanzang's request, but he also made his own demands: to ensure Tang Xuanzang's safety, he would observe the battle from a distance.

"Alright, Wukong, then I'll leave it to you."

"Take our white horse with you, lest the tiger rises to his level."

Tang Xuanzang didn't say much to Sun Wukong, but directly agreed to his request, and reminded him not to forget to ensure the safety of the white horse.

While they were talking, the tiger cautiously circled around them, seemingly looking for an opening to attack.

However, after Sun Wukong finished speaking with Tang Xuanzong, he did not launch an attack, clearly indicating that he had no opportunity to attack.

"Take this, tiger!"

Before the tiger could attack them, Tang Xuanzang had already taken a stance and charged at it.

"Roar?"

The tiger was startled by his posture. In all his years, this was the first time he had ever seen a prey he had targeted dare to attack him first before he could even launch his own attack.

Guolao were a person, his expression right now would definitely be a meme, because his face is full of confusion.
