Chapter 212 Karuna’s senior Brother – Vajra

Silence swept across the hall at that moment.

Interestingly, female disciples in the Buddhist discipline are rare. Master Karuna, who is highly esteemed and influential, usually respects visiting leaders. Thus, it’s quite a significant honour that he made an exception by taking Stephanie on as a private disciple.

Philip was visibly the most thrilled, struggling to stand up, his face beaming with pride. He burst out, “Ah, truly a granddaughter the Burnetts can be proud of, to be chosen by the Buddhist disciple. Our ancestors must be smiling down on us!”

Stephanie giggled, covering her mouth. “Really? I’m glad I could inspire you!”

Matthew pulled out his notebook and started sketching quickly. But midway, he stopped.

Something wasn’t right.

The spark of inspiration was there, but the sketch needed to capture the essence. It felt lacking …

What was absent?

Noticing Matthew’s sudden confusion, Stephanie asked, “Matthew, what’s wrong? Did I do something? Is my Buddhist affinity lacking?”

“Nothing…”
