96 Going Up the Mountain (Part 1)

Soon after the monk left, the rain stopped, and Gu Jiao went to the temple to pick up Xiao Jingkong.

Xiao Jingkong had a fun and fulfilling day in the temple, or to be precise, half a day.

He met his kind and considerate senior monk Jingchen, some other senior monks, the abbot, and his old playmates Monk Jing Fan, Monk Jingxin, and Monk Jingshan.

Since the abbot and senior monks were busy, he spent most of his time with the three little monks.

Without Jingkong to compete for food, the three little monks were well-nourished, and each looked much plumper than before.

Xiao Jingkong also wasn't the old Xiao Jingkong anymore — he had replaced his monk robe with civilian kid clothes and tiny tufts of hair had sprouted from his tiny shaved head.

He was the youngest among the little monks, but he spoke the earliest and the best, to the point where later even the abbot couldn't outtalk him.
