Chapter 213 Will You Accept Milly as Your Disciple? 

Why is everyone suddenly so competitive? They’re selecting disciples as casually as picking out veggies at the market. Are they even serious about mentoring? 

Milly heaved heavily while massaging her forehead and overlooked the enthusiastic trio. She turned to the stoic George nearby, remarking, “Ignore William’s nonsense. I’m not into Buddhism and have no interest in walking that path. We don’t need to bother asking his master for advice.” 

George remained calm, responding “It’s okay, this isn’t just about you. I’ve got my own set of questions for him.” 

“What are you talking about?” Milly asked, her brow furrowing in confusion. 

With a smile, George shared, “Didn’t you catch Master Karuna commenting on how my aura is too aggressive and my past too murky? I seek guidance to stay on a righteous path and avoid an untimely end. 

“My grandma had Master Vajra keep an eye on me to aid my growth. I make it a point to seek his knowledge annually.” 

Milly still seemed uncertain, questioning, “Knowledge?” 

George explained with patience, “Consider it a purification process. Buddhism is big on salvation, so there’s hope for redemption even for someone enveloped in darkness like me.” 

His voice was deep, carrying a hint of sadness as he spoke. 

Like Milly, he wasn’t a believer in deities or fate. But honouring his grandmother’s wish, a protective charm for him, was a bond he couldn’t ignore. 

This was the final link to his grandmother, so belief or not, he clung to it. 

Master Vajra had predicted that drawing the highest symbol would signify the fading of his dark energy. Sadly, he ended up drawing the lowest symbol every year. 

A genuinely daunting destiny. 

Milly started to understand the backstory. 

Surprisingly, the typically standoffish George showed a softer side when he mentioned his late grandmother, demonstrating his deep affection for her. 

George’s grandmother… 

Something clicked for Milly, and she instinctively touched the bracelet on her wrist, a keepsake from his grandmother. 

The sound of footsteps nearing was accompanied by a voice intoning, “Amitabha, well done!” 

Turning around, they saw an elderly monk in kasaya with greying eyebrows enter, looking to be in his sixties and significantly older than Master Karuna. 

Upon noticing the new arrival, everyone was shocked and quickly stood up, greeting with hands clasped, “Amitabha.”

“Is that really Master Vajra? I’ve only been here briefly and have already met him. Guess I made the right. move becoming a monk!” 

“But wasn’t Master Vajra supposed to be on his way to a foreign trip? How’d he manage to swing by?” 

“I have no clue! Even those of us here for years barely glimpse him.” 

“Do you think Master Vajra is here for that girl who is deeply connected with Buddhism? Master Karuna just took a female disciple. Maybe Master Vajra had a hunch and decided to make an appearance?” 

“Could be.” 

The younger monks buzzed with speculation nearby, loud enough for Stephanie to overhear. In the serene temple, every word was clear. 

Vajra. 

Stephanie scrunched up her brow. Her main goal was to secure a spot as Master Karuna’s direct disciple today. She hadn’t planned on Vajra showing up. 

Knowing that her cultivation level did not match Vajra’s, she never considered challenging him. 

That’s why she was convinced Vajra’s visit wasn’t about her. So, who was he here for? 

Master Karuna made his way over, greeting serenely, “Amitabha, Master Vajra, you’ve arrived.” This is property © of NôvelDrama.Org.

Vajra acknowledged him with a slight nod. “Master Karuna.” 

Looking around, his attention swiftly landed on Milly, standing close to George. 

His glance was thorough, yet somehow, his Buddhist upbringing lent a friendly and open vibe, making Milly feel at ease. 

He was taken aback upon hearing from George since he’d been keen to take George on as a disciple to aid him in conquering his demonic influences. Still, he had always faced rejection, which troubled him. 

He hadn’t anticipated that today, George would suddenly agree to become his disciple on the condition that a girl be apprenticed as well. 

This girl must be the one he was referring to. 

She was pretty, with clear eyes, not too demanding, appearing to be a promising candidate for cultivation. 

Approaching slowly, he joined his hands. “Amitabha, would you, young lady, be interested in joining my Buddhist disciple, dedicate yourself to cultivation, and become my direct disciple?” 

Milly’s eyes widened in surprise/“Huh?” 

Why was she being asked this so directly? 

Clearly, it wasn’t just Milly who was caught off guard; the others around, equally baffled, shared in the surprise.

Was today some special day for accepting disciple “hy were all these heavy hitters eager to take on disciples? 

It’s worth mentioning Vajra is significantly above Karuna in standing.

While Karuna may have some clout in the Buddhist community, Vajra enjoys considerable influence and respect internationally, is skilled in both Sanskrit and Halturia language and even serves as a senior monk of Halturia on international diplomatic visits. His prestige is unparalleled. 

Even in Buddhism’s homeland, Theridia, numerous monks hold him in the highest regard, addressing him as a senior monk, a testament to his esteemed status. 

Though Master Vajra agreed to mentor George, it was primarily out of respect for his grandmother and his junior sister, and upon her request – making this commitment more of a heartful gesture towards George alone. 

The Tate and Burnett’s annual sacrificial ceremony wouldn’t see him presiding – that remained unchanged. 

But now, a monk of such high calibre expressing the wish to take a girl as his direct disciple? 

Even Philip, who was getting over the shock of Stephanie becoming Master Karuna’s direct disciple, was momentarily stunned and lost for words. “This … 

Could the Burnett family crypt be stirring? 

“I 

How is it that two people are joining the Buddhist disciple today? 

Karuna was in disbelief, asking, “Master Vajra, what’s this about … ” 

It was known that Master Vajra never took disciples before. Why the sudden change today? 

Before he could finish, Vajra cut him off, “Master Karuna, I have my reasons, Amitabha.”
