Lei wonders a bit about something the old man said to him; 'where the faithful are called to await the return of the gods'. And, while he's skeptical there are in fact any living gods to begin with, he wonders if that is why his master came here, to wait their return. If so, maybe this temple was Lei's best bet at finding his master. 

While Lei is certain under different circumstances he would have stood a chance against the man to find out about more places, he hasn't quite had the time to properly recover from his trip up the mountain and is certain his fatigue would bring him down. "Maybe after I have rested some." He says politely before asking. "Though will you tell me how to get to this temple?" It seems as good a place as any to start. And if need be, he could probably find his way back here in the future to rise to the challenge and find out more.
