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.
