"Please, if you could just hear us out, it won't take long. Our Abbot has assured us of your relevance in this matter," Jian chimed in, trying to bridge the gap with a gentle tone.
"You are disrupting my day and disturbing everyone here. This is neither the time nor the place for such discussions!" the woman's irritation grew, her brow furrowed in annoyance.
"We apologize for any inconvenience, but it's urgent. We wouldn't insist if it weren't important," Huo added, his voice low and apologetic.
"Indeed, we understand the disturbance, but the issue at hand involves matters only you can resolve with our Abbot. We assure you it's of a peaceful and beneficial nature," Monk Sheng insisted, maintaining his composure.
"I care little for your assurances! You've said enough, and I've listened more than I care to. Now, if you respect anything at all, you will leave me in peace," she said, her voice stern, signaling the end of her patience.
