The Abbot did not show any dissatisfaction with the crowd's reaction, as if his previous words were merely a kindly reminder, and he didn't care if anyone listened.
Xiao Feng didn't hesitate much, picked up his teacup with a smile, took a sip, and politely said, "Good tea!"
The others, seeing Xiao Feng's action, also followed suit, picked up their teacups, and took a sip. However, it was evident that no one was truly focused on savoring the flavor of the tea.
The Abbot put down his teacup and looked at Lord Jiu, saying, "Now you may speak."
Lord Jiu nodded and said, "To be honest, this time I came to your monastery not because I wish to resume the selfish act of digging graves, but because a friend entrusted me to help excavate the treasure left by his ancestors."
"I see," the Abbot calmly said, "If this is your intention, you are not violating the agreement. You need not worry."
