Chapter 209 Stephanie Drew a V

Auspicious Divination Stick

Closing her eyes, the darkness around Milly inexplicably cased her mood quite a bit. The Buddhist scriptures in her ears also seemed somewhat pleasant.

Although she had always firmly believed that everything depended on human effort and did not believe in any other doctrine besides science, but having kneeled down, it seemed unjust not to seek something good

Then, she prayed for Buddha’s blessings. May all the people I care about be safe and happy, and may everything go smoothly.

She also prayed that another Milly could obtain what she desired and not suffer in the next life.

She didn’t ask for much.

Master Karuna, sitting on a cushion on one side, stood up with palms together. “Amitabha, the chanting for salvation has ended. Please come forward to draw a divination stick.”

Just as Philip was getting to his feet, there was a sudden commotion from outside. Soon after, the young monk’s voice chimed in again, “Amitabha, Master Karuna, there are three guests outside want to join in the

Ceremony too.”

Master Karuna nodded slightly upon seeing them and twirled his prayer beads. Then let them come in together.

Milly blinked. They’re joining the ritual together?

We have different ancestors, can we do the ritual together?

Philip didn’t seem to object, which was unusual for him, being so traditional. So, who were these visitors exactly?

Footsteps echoed, and Milly glanced back.

The doors swung wide open, and against the light came three figures. At first glance, Milly recognised George.
