A couple of hours passed relatively peacefully for Lin Mu, but soon, someone came to visit him.
A young monk entered, looking slightly bewildered but composed. "Senior Lin Mu," he said, bowing, "the Abbot has invited you to join him at the Grand Hall… at your convenience."
Lin Mu raised a brow. "That fast, huh?"
"Um… yes. He said the stars move swiftly when the sky is clear," the monk added, clearly reciting the message as it had been given.
Lin Mu chuckled. "Very poetic."
He gave a short glance in the direction where the beasts were roughly located, then turned and left with the monk.
The journey up the steps to the Grand Peak was quiet. The temple grounds were vast, and as they climbed higher, Lin Mu could see more of its intricate design—courtyards filled with lotus pools, meditation chambers, and statues of ancient sages carved directly into the mountainside.
