"Donor! I am Wu Can, the Head Disciple of Arhat Hall!" Wu Can paused, then continued: "We, the clergy, always cherish compassion, but that does not mean we can tolerate unruly behavior in our temple, especially in front of our Master. I give you one more chance to leave. If you insist on staying, don't blame us for being rude!"
As Wu Can spoke, he slowly rose to his feet. He seemed ready to take action, seeing that the youth showed no intention of leaving.
Indeed, Li Huai did not disappoint the monks. He continued to sit on his mat, saying, "You may be as rude as you want, but I'm not leaving until you take me to the Scripture House."
"Since that's the case, I will have to take action!" Wu Can said. Still holding his hands together in front of him, he bowed slightly to Kong Zhi, suggesting the monk for his consent.
Kong Zhi did not respond. He continued to pretend chanting sutras with his eyes closed, implying silent approval.
