In the blink of an eye, another three years passed.
Xu Lei was now twelve years old.
For the past three years, he had been cultivating at Tianming Temple with Hui Ming.
His family had never come looking for him again.
This was because when he had first become a Monk, Xu Lei, after some consideration, had decided not to even tell them which temple he would be joining.
So even if his family wanted to find him, they wouldn't necessarily be able to.
"Martial Uncle Hui Chi!"
Just then, a round-faced Monk about Xu Lei's age appeared. He said, "Master summons you."
"Amitabha Buddha, let's go then."
Xu Lei said, "By the way, Martial Nephew Zhi Tan."
"How do you manage to stay so plump while eating vegetarian temple meals every day?"
"Did you inherit a tendency to gain weight easily from your family?"
"What?"
Hearing this, Zhi Tan's expression stiffened slightly, and he looked a little awkward. "Ahaha, yes, that's right."
「Ten minutes later.」
