Chapter 2544: Tianpeng, Who Wanted to Quit Long Ago

He knew Tang Sanzang too well; once he made a decision, it was very difficult to change.

Sun Wukong remembered that day, even though he knelt and admitted his mistake, Tang Sanzang still didn't give him a chance, and a sense of sorrow surged in his heart.

Talk of master-disciple bonds—perhaps in his eyes, nothing was more important than the true scriptures.

Moreover, he didn't give them a chance to explain at all.

"Aren't you leaving, Monkey Brother?"

"You have the Somersault Cloud; give me a lift, and I'll be at Gao Village in the blink of an eye."

Tianpeng had already shouldered his luggage, looked back at Sun Wukong, and said with indifference.

Sun Wukong ignored him, thinking to himself, "Has all this effort been in vain?"

In utter helplessness, he immediately activated his spiritual sense, connected to Wu Feng, and said, "Senior Wu Feng, what should I do? This stubborn donkey of a monk is trying to drive us away again."

Wu Feng's voice came leisurely, saying, "Don't worry. Just go back to Mount Huaguo and stay for a while. He will have need of you later."

Hearing this, Sun Wukong felt a mix of emotions. To say he had no feelings for Tang Sanzang at all would be a lie, after all, they had been together day and night for so long.

On one hand, he was incredibly concerned about the truth he would see upon reaching the Western Heaven; on the other hand, he was also worried about Tang Sanzang's safety.

Although he didn't agree with many of Tang Sanzang's ideas, at the very least, Tang Sanzang could be considered a good person.

"Are you going or not, Monkey Brother? If you won't give me a lift, I'll fly back myself. Are you going to stay here and blow in the cold wind?"

Tianpeng stood on the spot, watching Sun Wukong, and said.

"You fool! It's all your fault!"

Sun Wukong turned his head, glared fiercely at Tianpeng, and said.

Tianpeng didn't talk back this time, because he knew that if he talked back now, it would likely result in a beating from Sun Wukong.

Sun Wukong summoned the Somersault Cloud beneath his feet, flew over, and grabbed Tianpeng.

"Hahaha, finally don't have to go on the pilgrimage! I've had enough of it."

"Cuilan, wait for me, I'm coming back!"

Tianpeng was lifted into the high sky by Sun Wukong, a bright smile immediately appearing on his face as he spoke.

"Shut your mouth! You're annoying!"

Sun Wukong said sternly.

Tianpeng immediately shut his mouth, but a smile still remained on his face.

Sun Wukong rode the Somersault Cloud, traveling east, and soon reached the territory of Gao Village.

Tianpeng kept looking at the ground below and suddenly said, "We're here, we're here! Monkey Brother, let me down!"

Sun Wukong glanced at him, then released his hand and dropped Tianpeng.

Tianpeng used his flight technique in mid-air to stabilize his body, waved upward, and shouted loudly with a full smile, "Monkey Brother, Master doesn't recognize us, but the friendship between us remains. Come find me at Gao Village to hang out when you're free."

Sun Wukong looked down, feeling frustrated, and shouted loudly, "Hang out with your grandmother's leg!"

Tianpeng shrugged, smiling with indifference, and then flipped over and dived downward.

In mid-air, he changed his form and appearance, and soon, he presented the look of the sturdy and honest man he once was.

Tianpeng landed on the ground and looked up; it was indeed the Gao family residence.

There was no one at the door. He straightened his clothes and went up to knock on the door.

As the knocking sound rang out, the past events appeared vividly before his eyes, rising in his heart.
