Chapter 7074
Just then, Sister Sun entered, respectfully saying,
βMadam, Jing Qing wishes to see you.β
Margaret, zooming in on Charlieβs photo and carefully examining her sonβs face,
Smiled and said, βLet Jing Qing in.β
βYes, Madam.β
Sister Sun turned and went out, returning shortly with Jing Qing.
Jing Qing approached Margaret respectfully and said,
βMadam, Jing Qing is preparing to return home.β
βI came to say goodbye and see if you have any instructions for me.β
Margaret put down her phone and smiled, saying,
βNothing to instruct me on.β
βYouβve worked hard these past few days.β
βAmitabha.β
Jing Qing clasped his hands together respectfully and said,
βMadam, you flatter me. It is my honor to serve you.β
Jing Qingβs respect for Margaret was not flattery, but genuine.
He had previously been devoted to Buddhism,
Believing that all beings were equal under the Buddha.
However, after successfully attaining enlightenment under Margaretβs guidance,
He realized that both Buddhism and Taoism were under the Heavenly Dao,
And that all beings were not equal,
Because everyoneβs distance from the Heavenly Dao was different.
Take himself, for example; after enlightenment,
His lifespan was decades, even centuries,
Longer than that of ordinary people.
Was this equality among beings? Of course not.
Margaret herself hadnβt attained enlightenment,
So she was probably much further from the Dao than Jing Qing, who had.
However, in Jing Qingβs view, her opportunity to get closer to the Dao was entirely due to Margaretβs support,
So she should be respectful and grateful to her.
Margaret looked at Charlieβs photo for a while before reluctantly putting down her phone.
She first replied to Maria, βThank you, senior.β
Then she said to Jing Qing,
βYouβve been in Japan for a while now, which has delayed many things back home.
Now that everything here is settled,β
βYou can go back and attend to your business.β
Jing Qing nodded slightly and said,
βI plan to leave for Tokyo later and take the earliest flight back.β
Margaret smiled and said, βOkay, you can decide according to your own schedule.β
βIf you decide to leave later,β
βIβll hav
Meanwhile, at the top-floor villa of Zijin Villa.
Maria smiled at Charlie and Xiao Xiao, and asked softly,
βYoung Master told me on the phone that you had made a new discovery.β
βWhat exactly is it?β
Charlie, holding Xiao Xiao, said to Maria,
βI met Nanako today, and while chatting with her, I discovered a detail I had previously overlooked.β
βBack then at Qixia Temple, she was enlightened by a monk named Jing Qing,β
βWhich is why she was able to achieve enlightenment.β
βI was wondering, what kind of person would be willing to risk exposing themselves to enlighten a stranger?β
Mariaβs heart skipped a beat.
Charlie had noticed Monk Jing Qing!
Wasnβt this equivalent to uncovering a corner of Margaretβs cover?
So, she asked Charlie,
βYoung Master, do you think the identity of this Monk Jing Qing is questionable?β
βYes,β Charlie nodded emphatically.
Maria replied, βItβs difficult for me to say about such matters.β
βFor cultivators, their secrets are certainly important.β
βBut sometimes they also feel that inheritance is necessary.β
βJust like my master, when he was in seclusion in the Shinwan Mountains,β
βHe still took my father and Victoria as his disciples.β
As she said this, Maria felt nauseous, because she already knew Meng Changshengβs despicable character.
However, to avoid arousing Charlieβs suspicion, she could only use him as an example.
Charlie, however, said, βItβs understandable if itβs for inheritance.β
βBut Nanakoβs going to Qixia Temple wasnβt accidental.β
βIt was intentional.β
He then recounted how Nanako had been deliberately lured by a woman in the elevator,
Including the fact that the woman had disappeared.
Maria frowned upon hearing this.
She knew that once Charlie grasped the source of Nanakoβs enlightenment,
The matter would inevitably be exposed.
Furthermore, the fact that the woman had left Jinling only intensified Charlieβs suspicions.
However, she also knew that Margaret was powerless to do anything about it,
Because Charlie had his methods.
Let alone a young woman, even someone like Master Jingqing, with some cultivation but not high enough, would likely be unable to keep the secret in front of him.
Once Charlie found that woman, he would find out everything.
Now, she dared not try to guide Charlieβs judgment any further.
She was a smart woman, and she felt that once Charlie began to notice and analyze the anomalies around him,
He would approach problems with a dialectical and truth-seeking mindset.
If she kept trying to mislead his judgment,
He would definitely realize something was wrong.
Therefore, Maria immediately said decisively,
βI think your analysis makes a lot of sense, young master.β
βIf she was deliberately led to Qixia Temple, and then Master Jingqing appeared to enlighten her by chance,β
βThen this proves that they are definitely in cahoots.β
βAnd this might become an important breakthrough!β
βIs that so!β
Receiving Mariaβs affirmation boosted Charlieβs confidence,
And he had no doubt about Mariaβs previous guidance.
He said seriously, βFinding that woman now will probably be very difficult.β
βBut finding Master Jingqing shouldnβt be too troublesome.β
βAs a well-known figure in the Buddhist community, his whereabouts should be relatively easy to track.β
βNanako said that she recently presided over the funeral arrangements for Master KΕin of Kinkaku-ji Temple in Japan.β
βSo he should be returning to China soon!β
