The abbot of this monastery unexpectedly found a young girl outside the temple and, following the principle of doing good deeds, brought her back. Since the temple was full of men, having a woman there would lead to it being labeled a scandalous place, so the girl lived alone in a small courtyard at the back.
Now, the abbot wanted to entrust Xuanzang with the task of finding the girl's family while he journeyed west.
In fact, this was just an excuse. The reason the abbot wanted to send the girl away quickly was that this princess was simply too difficult!
Having a female presence already had a very negative impact on the entire monastery. You were taken in, so just stay quietly in the courtyard. This large monastery can afford to feed you until you find your family and leave.
