"Haha, it looks like your cultivation has made great progress lately; your aura is quite startling." Lu Yu said to the Monkey with a smile.
Only then did the Monkey wake up from his meditative state. Being pinned under the Five Elements Mountain, he had nothing to do all day long, with no one to chat and relieve his boredom, except for cultivation which was his only choice.
When the Monkey opened his eyes and saw a familiar face, he said excitedly, "Scholar, you finally came to visit me. I thought you had forgotten about me after all these years without a visit."
Lu Yu looked at the delighted face of the Monkey and was very pleased, for one thing because the Monkey's mentality had recovered well and he no longer looked dejected, and for another because he himself had survived a disaster, which meant the two of them still had a chance to meet.
