With this in mind, Fangzheng, who had planned on going down the mountain to welcome the guests, decisively struck off that idea.
After exchanging his greetings with the few visitors, he pushed Red Boy forward and said, "This is This Penniless Monk's disciple, Jingxin. Patrons, if you have anything you would like to know, ask him. This Penniless Monk suddenly feels an epiphany and needs to meditate. Goodbye."
With that said, Fangzheng quickly left.
He originally believed that he would receive snide remarks by snubbing them.
The result…
"Wow! As expected of a master. He's always thinking of meditating!"
"Yeah! He's nothing like those monks from other monasteries who don't read the scriptures. They just loiter outside to receive guests. How is that anything like a monk?"
"That's right. That's right…"
