Taira and Aveena must have sat with Abbot Tang for another hour before the monk finally decided to take his leave.
Truthfully, he was a bit embarrassed after spending so long chatting with the up and coming cultivators that he lost track of time.
Aveena offered to put the old man up for the night, but he insisted that he didn't want to be such a burden to them on their first meeting.
Secretly, Taira had a good impression of the monk already.
He could clearly tell that the monk wasn't a person who really knew how to lie or hide things.
Abbot Tang clearly wanted to ask a myriad of questions pertaining to their sect and how it functioned, but held them in out of fear of seeming rude.
But his eyes had a special sort of sparkle whenever he looked at something new. It made his interest impossible to hide.
And in all fairness, one could scarcely blame him for being curious.
