After Lu Yuanqing was politely led away, the other five returned to their dwellings.
The monastery only came with a handful of guest houses and the government had to arrange extra shifts and work overtime to make up for the extra rooms needed. Courtyards like the ones the five occupied usually contained three houses, each taken up by two individuals, who had their separate bedrooms. Toilets and bathrooms were all equipped with modern facilities instead of those pit toilets one might find in old houses.
Once back to his place, old Priest Mo greeted his housemate, a fellow cultivator of Heshan Sect, and went back to read in his room.
About two hours later, there was a "knock knock" at the door and he went to answer it. Lu Yuanqing beamed at him. "Senior Brother, is it a good time now?"
"I'm quite free."
"In that case, I've just made a nice pot of tea. May I indulge you with it?"
'Hm?'
