“I … ”
Silence took over the scene as everyone awaited Milly’s response.
One second, two seconds…
Stephanie’s eyes turned cold when she spotted Vajra approaching Milly, a storm brewing in her expression.
She thought she had everything figured out but hadn’t seen this coming. The thought of Milly managing to get Vajra’s attention!
If Milly could become Vajra’s disciple, she would be superior to Stephanie. What was the point of everything Stephanie had done until now?
Yet, with everyone’s eyes on Milly, Stephanie felt helpless, unsure how to sabotage this development.
Just as her face shifted from severe to worried, a clear, sophisticated voice broke the silence.
“Sorry, Master Vajra, I don’t feel a strong connection to Buddhism or a genuine interest in it. I doubt I’d make a good Buddhist disciple, so I’m afraid I have to decline your offer.”
Milly’s polite rejection seemed to have been anticipated by Vajra, who remained unfazed.
On the other hand, Philip, Jonathan, Anthony, and William were anything but calm.
“You… you disrespectful child, how could you turn down Master Vajra’s offer! Having him take notice of you is an honour, a boon for our family, the Burnetts. Can’t you see what you’re throwing away? Are you trying to make me angry on purpose?”
Philip’s faith in Buddhism was deeply ingrained, and witnessing Milly refuse to become a disciple right before him almost made him faint with rage.
Jonathan and Anthony, feeling slightly regretful, gingerly suggested.
“Milly, are you sure you don’t want to be his disciple? Think about it. It’s a perfect chance to show Stephanie up!”
“Yeah, why not do it? After we bring her down a peg or two tonight, you can try to offend your new master tomorrow, such as knock him on the head. And you’ll surely get kicked out of the sect soon!”
“Right, right, it sounds like a plan. Boss, we should consider this. If it doesn’t pan out, I’ll speak to my brother and have Master Vajra fábricate an excuse to dismiss you from the sect by tomorrow! NôvelDrama.Org holds © this.
“Ow, who hit me?!”
One received a sharp rap on the head when they finished speaking.

Finished
Showing such disrespect towards Buddhism! If you don’t watch your mouth, we’ll make you regret it tonight!”
“Head back and copy a handwritten scripture as repentance for your disrespect in the temple. Do it carefully; maybe the Buddhist community will forgive your insolence!”
The trio immediately mellowed down.
Milly remained silent.
She was already feeling overwhelmed, and this only added to her headache.
Wasn’t this supposed to be a choice?
Besides, she lacked interest in pursuing Buddhism. Why ‘she feel so guilty, as if she had committed some wrongdoing?
Vajra nodded, seemingly understanding her turmoil. “Amitabha, the donor, has her own journey, and endless possibilities await.”
Milly breathed a sigh of relief and respectfully joined her palms, showing her gratitude. “Thank you, Master Vajra.”
Vajra walked up to George, gave him a brief look, and sighed softly as if he didn’t see any change in him. “Amitabha, how about joining me to let go of the animosity?”
Influenced by his grandmother, George held Master Vajra in great esteem.
Yet, when asked, he gently refused, saying, “I’m sorry, Master Vajra.”
His primary commitment was to support Milly, even though he respected Vajra’s guidance. He had set a condition that Milly must also become a disciple before he could fully commit. Since Milly wasn’t on board, he needed to be more inclined.
Moreover, he had to deal with unresolved issues, like defeating the Ghost Sect and avenging his grandmother. Joining the Buddhist disciple and risking its purity didn’t fit his current plans.
Vajra expected his response, having heard the same thing every year. “Amitabha, this old monk, has done all he could.”
Letting it be, he left the outcome to destiny.
Stephanie was secretly happy about Milly’s decision to not become a disciple.
With Milly’s refusal, she remained the only Buddhist disciple in the Burnett family, which she saw as an advantage.
She believed Milly’s denial would upset her grandfather but took solace in the situation.
A smirk appeared on her lips as she thought about it, only to be interrupted by a chilling voice. “Stephanie, you look quite happy. What’s up?”
Stephanie’s smile froze on her lips. No matter how often she warned or consoled herself, she still felt fear and resistance whenever she heard this voice. It was ingrained in her bones, impossible to change.

“I wasn’t laughing, just admiring Milly. It’s incredible how she turned down Master Vajra’s offer. That takes real guts.”
Stephanie clenched her hand, trying to maintain her composure as she replied.
Despite knowing this, Jeffrey was not the one from her previous life; she couldn’t help feeling scared.
Jeffrey noticed her shaking and balled–up fists, his eyebrow lifting in intrigue.

“Xavier, don’t say that. Milly isn’t like that.”
