"You actually know?" Tianxin looked at Chen Yiran in surprise.
"Yes." Chen Yiran nodded lightly, "I used to come here to play when I was a kid."
"Oh..."
"These esteemed guests, please halt. As per the temple's rules, external incense sticks are not allowed inside. We kindly ask you to leave any incense you've brought with you in the charity box at the entrance." The Little Monk who had spoken earlier gave them a polite smile and sweeping bow.
"We didn't bring any incense..." Tianxin spread her hands demonstrating that she had no incense and said to the Little Monk, "The people selling incense at the door wanted us to buy some, but we didn't..."
"Thank you, esteemed guests, please proceed." The Little Monk friendly smiled at them, put his hands together, and took a bow.
Chen Yiran gave a slight nod to the Little Monk and then led Tianxin and Ji Yang inward.
