Chapter 284: Question and Answer
# 284. Question and Answer
Hengyuan frowned, sensing something was amiss. Ever since he introduced himself, the expressions of the two gatekeeper monks had been strange. After delivering the message, there was an unspoken hostility.
"Please lead the way!" Hengyuan said humbly, lowering his eyes.
Under the lead of the monks at the gate, they passed through the front courtyard and main building, arriving at the rear courtyard.
Under the eaves, standing in the corridor, was a middle-aged monk. He wore the rough attire of a wandering monk, his face was round, and his earlobes thick. He looked expressionless as he scrutinised Hengyuan.
"Are you Hengyuan from Qinglong Temple?" Monk Jingchen's sharp gaze examined Hengyuan.
"Yes, that is this poor monk," Hengyuan responded.
Hengyuan was also observing Jingchen. By this point, he had already realised that the group of monks from the Western Region held some undefined hostility toward him.
Hengyuan had no idea where this hostility came from, as they had never had any contact before.
