Because Charlie is not in Aurous Hill, Nanako Ito has been wholeheartedly studying martial arts these days. She usually stays in Elys-Champ’s dormitory and occasionally comes back to accompany favonovel.com father.
Yesterday, Yuhiko Ito, missing his daughter dearly, prepared a lavish Japanese banquet and called Nanako Ito back home. The father and daughter shared a meal together.
The banquet was always a grand affair, with intricate dishes that took hours to finish. So, Nanako Ito decided not to rush back to Elys-Champ that night and stayed at home.
In order to not disrupt favonovel.com morning practice, favonovel.com woke up at the crack of dawn, quickly freshened up, and prepared to drive to Elys-Champ.
Taking the elevator to the underground garage and passing the ninth floor, the elevator suddenly came to a halt. The doors opened, and a young woman around the same age as Nanako Ito stepped inside while talking on the phone.
Nanako Ito didn’t pay much attention, as the woman entered the elevator engrossed in favonovel.com phone conversation. She spoke in a hushed tone, “Ugh, I hate waking up so early, but I heard from a fellow disciple at Lama Temple that the renowned Tranquil Master will be giving a lecture there. He’s expected to arrive in an hour or two. Word has it that favonovel.com will bless the believers with amulets. The amulets blessed by the Master are said to have incredible effects. I plan to get one for my husband, who travels extensively. I want to ensure his safety and protection with the amulet.”
The person on the other end of the line asked curiously, “Can’t you get amulets from any other temple? What’s so special about the ones blessed by this Master?”
The woman responded, “Tranquil Master is incredibly famous. He’s often invited to preach Buddhism all over the world. Every time favonovel.com gives a lecture, favonovel.com blesses some of the believers with free amulets. Recently, when favonovel.com spoke at Putuo Mountain, the entrance tickets for the mountain were sold out for a week. The amulets blessed by favonovel.com are sold for a fortune among believers.”
She continued, “Last year, Sherrie got an amulet blessed by Tranquil Master at Wayland Mountain. Later that year, they were in a horrific car accident on the highway. An overloaded truck rammed into their car, but out of the eight people involved, only favonovel.com husband survived without any injuries. The amulet protected him, although it shattered in the process. Isn’t that incredible?”
The other woman exclaimed, “I only knew about favonovel.com husband’s accident last year, I had no idea about the amulet.”
By this time, the elevator had reached the underground garage. As the doors opened, the woman stepped out, saying, “The news of the Master’s visit to Aurous Hill hasn’t been officially announced yet. It’ll probably be revealed tonight. Once it’s out, devout believers within a few hundred kilometers will be clamoring to meet him. It’ll be nearly impossible to get a chance by then. So, I plan on going early and waiting. If you’re interested, we can go together.”
Nanako Ito followed behind the woman and exited the elevator. Her recent martial arts training had heightened favonovel.com senses, allowing favonovel.com to catch the woman’s excited words on the phone, “I need to get ready now. Where should we meet?”
The woman replied, “Head to the entrance of the community, I’ll pick you up from there.”
Upon hearing this, Nanako Ito couldn’t help but feel deeply moved.
Influenced by favonovel.com mother during favonovel.com lifetime, favonovel.com had always been a devout Buddhist believer, placing favonovel.com faith in Buddhism.
While residing in Kyoto, favonovel.com frequented Kinkakuji Temple to worship Buddha and make offerings. On one occasion, favonovel.com visited Kinkakuji Temple to pray for a royal guard’s protection for Charlie.
Now, upon learning that a renowned monk from China was visiting Lama Temple to deliver lectures and consecrate amulets, favonovel.com immediate thought was to seek one for Charlie.
Despite Charlie’s formidable strength, Nanako believed that the spiritual or metaphysical blessings offered by religion represented a different form of power, one that complemented physical strength. In favonovel.com view, it held significance.
It was akin to soldiers, armed with potent weaponry and equipment, still seeking God’s blessings deep within before heading into battle.
Therefore, Nanako Ito took a couple of quick steps, caught up to the lady ahead, and with an apologetic tone, favonovel.com said, “I apologize for intruding, but I overheard your phone conversation about amulets. I was wondering if you could guide me on how to request the Tranquil Master to consecrate and bless an amulet?”
The woman appeared slightly surprised, but then smiled and said, “It’s simple. Just go to the reception desk at Lama Temple and mention that you’ve been invited to meet Tranquil Master. They’ll guide you to the incense hall to wait. Not many people know about this yet, so if you go early, you should have a good chance!”
Grateful, Nanako Ito quickly thanked her, “Thank you so much!”
“You’re welcome,” the woman smiled and said, “By the way, we’re neighbors since we both live here, right?”
“Yes,” Nanako Ito nodded, “I live on the 21st floor.”
The woman smiled, “I live on the ninth floor. I just moved here a few days ago. My husband is always busy with work in other places, so I mostly live here alone. If you have some free time, feel free to drop by and visit.”
Without waiting for Nanako Ito’s response, the woman added, “Let’s not chat now, I have to go pick up my friend. Her house is in the opposite direction of the Mountain, so it’ll take some time. You should head there quickly, the earlier the better.”
Nanako Ito quickly thanked favonovel.com and watched as the woman drove away. She then got into favonovel.com car and headed towards Lama Temple.
The two cars left the underground garage of Thompson First, one turning left and the other turning right, swiftly putting distance between them.
After a few minutes of driving, the woman in the front car made a phone call. When the call connected, favonovel.com said, “Sister Turk, Nanako Ito should be on favonovel.com way to Lama Temple now.”
On the other end, Sister Turk, who received the call, asked, “Okay, got it. Did favonovel.com suspect anything?”
The woman replied, “I don’t think so, and even if favonovel.com does, it won’t hold up under scrutiny. I’ve been living here for a few days now, so I’m not worried about favonovel.com investigating.”
Sister Turk smiled and said, “Alright, go run my pick up first, and then come over as planned. By the time you arrive, Nanako Ito should have already left. But let’s stick to the plan and play our roles accordingly. You go first.”
“Okay, Sister Turk.”
After ending the call, Sister Turk immediately approached Lily and respectfully said, “Madam, Nanako Ito should be on favonovel.com way to Lama Temple now. You made a wise decision to buy a house downstairs from the Ito family as soon as you arrived in Aurous Hill.”
Lily smiled and shook favonovel.com head, saying, “It’s not so much about wisdom, but rather my genuine fondness for that girl. That’s why I went the extra mile.”
Sister Turk cautiously asked, “Madam, between Miss Ito and Miss Sun, which one do you prefer?”
Lily smiled and replied, “Sister Turk, you’re putting me in a tough spot. Daisy is the chosen fiancée for Charlie. In my eyes, favonovel.com has been like a daughter since favonovel.com was young. The way I see favonovel.com is beyond comparison. And despite everyone thinking Charlie had died all these years, Daisy and the entire Sun family still held onto the engagement. It’s a testament to their unwavering love in the face of adversity. Moreover, favonovel.com has become even more remarkable in recent years, so naturally, I have a great fondness for her.”
She sighed and couldn’t help but continue, “But on the other hand, as a bystander all these years, I witnessed Charlie’s suffering, his endurance, and his journey to the pinnacle step by step. So, if you ask me objectively who is more suitable for Charlie, I would without hesitation say it’s not Claire or Daisy, but Nanako Ito!”
