Yuezheng Ting, driven by anger, resorted to threatening the monks to swear to the Buddhas. However, her audacity and arrogance incited fury among the monks.
Who did she think she was to demand such a sacred oath from them? The monks saw no reason to comply with her demands. Instead, they firmly stated that they would not swear to the Buddhas, but they would honor their commitment to keep the events confidential. Whether Yuezheng Ting chose to believe them or not was up to her.
Moreover, in a community where people talked, it was highly likely that word of the incident would eventually spread.
At this point, there was little more the monks could do to assist them. Qiao Wei, as a guest, refrained from further cursing, sobbing sorrowfully instead. In contrast, Yuezheng Ting's anger intensified, leading her to lash out and attack the monks verbally.
