Chapter 847

This wasn't new to me. Over the years, I'd accompanied him here many times to listen to sermons. But I never imagined that one day, I would be here to listen to him speak, especially as a monk.

Ernest gently helped me sit down as Conrad began his sermon. He was talking about the Heart Sutra, but I couldn't take in a single word.

I watched him, thinking about his recent odd behavior, and realized that his desire to leave the secular world behind had been brewing for a long time. Even though he was physically present in this world, his heart had long been elsewhere.

So, when his parents passed away, he wasn't overwhelmed by grief. He faced it with a calm acceptance that was almost otherworldly.

He had seen beyond the illusion of life and death, treating it all with serene indifference.

When Conrad finished speaking, he came over to where Ernest and I were sitting. He clasped his hands together and murmured, "Peace be with you."

In that moment, tears began to fall down my face. "Conrad, how could you do this?"

I thought I had come to terms with many things, but I couldn't accept this version of him.

"I feel at peace and truly happy, without any burdens," Conrad said, looking at me with eyes as clear as a mountain lake.

I wanted to say something, but his gaze left me speechless.

Considering everything he had been through over the past year, maybe this was the right path for him.
