Realizing the temple gates were unguarded and the path clear, Yun Que decided to set off immediately.
He handed his monk's staff and cassock to the senior brother who was fond of the dharma name "Zhizhang," letting him serve as acting abbot, and then left the Staff Temple under the guise of going on a pilgrimage. Not until he was far from Fuming Mountain and certain he wouldn't be forced to turn back did Yun Que finally let out a sigh of relief.
He had wasted half a month at the Staff Temple. He hadn't learned a lick of Buddhist scripture, but his martial cultivation had improved significantly, all thanks to a steady diet of medicinal pills.
