Even though Xu Fan had long been prepared for everything, when he saw the elder monk in front of him, his heart still gave a sudden jolt.
Perhaps due to his years spent in the temple, his face was somewhat dark, with a sharp chin, loose skin, and piercing eyes. The whole face put together appeared extremely fierce, yet he was wearing a kasaya with a compassionate expression.
Everything seemed extremely contradictory, yet was all embodied in one person.
At this moment, Xu Fan did not rush to speak, but the elder monk spoke first with a kind and gentle face, "Young one, to be honest, you are quite impressive."
"Previously, I have tested you multiple times. The little monkey was one such test, to examine your compassion for all living beings. The temple gate was another, to test your resolve and courage in slaying demons and monsters."
"I did not expect that you, at such a young age, would be so extraordinary."
