The three months were rather mundane for Lin Mu. Other than the fact that the Abbot had still not returned and the monks had mostly resumed their normal routines, there was no significant difference for him.
The only noteworthy event during this period was Meng Bai's seventeenth birthday, which was celebrated in a relatively low-key manner.
The only attendees were Lin Mu, the beasts and Monk Hushu.
For the birthday meal, Little Shrubby went all out and used his finest ingredients to cook fifty dishes for Meng Bai. There were so many that the boy wasn't even able to taste all of them in one sitting and ended up eating them over an entire day.
In addition to the lavish meal, Meng Bai received several thoughtful gifts.
Daoist Chu had left behind a personal jade slip of Immortal grade in advance with Lin Mu, which not only served as a communication tool but also had features to project images and voices.
