Lord Hou said it and he did it, getting started on his plan immediately.
Gu Jiao returned to the Medical Hall after bidding Lord Hou farewell, oblivious to the murky waters she and Gu Yan had stirred. She switched her outfit and removed her mask, heading to Guozijian to fetch little Monk.
Knowing that Gu Jiao would pick him up after school, Little Monk was in high spirits, behaving much better in class and for once, not having a fall-out with his teacher, Master Sun.
For Master Sun, it was the most relaxing day of the year, making him feel like his receding hairline wasn't as bad.
"Let's go to my place!" Xu Zhuzhu, coming out of class, said to Little Monk.
Little Monk shook his head in a frosty manner, "Not today, I'm heading home with Jiaojiao!"
Xu Zhuzhu thought for a moment, "Alright then, how about tomorrow?"
Little Monk continued shaking his head, "Nope, not tomorrow either. I'm heading home with Jiaojiao again!"
