Su Bai had never tried the monk's culinary skills, Su Bai felt that the monk should not be as extreme as those ascetics, but he was maintaining a low profile on his food and clothing, food was not really an attraction for him.
However, the vegetarian meal the monk made tasted fine, Fatty who was known to be a meat lover was also eating happily.
The four of them gathered and ate at Su bai's office desk, the dining atmosphere was alright, Fatty had taken the monk's Buddhist beads, Gyatso had also seized the opportunity to take away the monk's kasaya, it could be considered that the both of them had agreed to follow the monk back to Xi'an to have a look, the monk did not give Su Bai any options because Su Bai did not have the qualifications to choose, they knew something weird was going on in Xi'an, it was impossible to bring Su Bai along in a stretcher, they were not going on a tour, of course, Su Bai was not willing to enter that murky waters.
