The young novice monk Yuankong led the four into the side hall of the Chanlin Temple.

During the temple fair, the main hall was completely open to the public, but the side hall was off-limits to visitors, primarily to provide space for distinguished guests.

There were no other monks in the room, and Yuankong personally brewed tea.

After Yaoqin took her seat, she asked, "Are you the Yuankong of Chanlin Temple?"
