Jiang Ji hesitated for a long time before finally saying those words.
Back then, when he went to Qingxin Temple to light a peace lamp, he also donated 50 million yuan in incense money.
Master Huiming, the abbot of Qingxin Temple, smiled broadly and said, "Amitabha."
“Benefactor, on behalf of Qingxin Temple, I thank you for your kind intentions. I am sure your wishes will come true.”
Jiang Ji pondered, "Host, I'd like to ask..."
Master Huiming smiled mysteriously, "It is all preordained, so you need not worry."
"This Buddhist rosary was left by the previous abbot. It absorbed incense offerings in front of the Buddha statue for forty-nine days. There is only one of its kind in the world, and I am giving it to you out of my own pocket."
The prayer beads are perfectly round, with a complex Sanskrit inscription on them.
Jiang Ji took it. "Host, could you explain more clearly?"
Master Huiming shook his head, “Remember to keep this Buddhist rosary close to your body. You will encounter a great calamity in the future. Once you overcome this calamity, you will get the answer you seek.”
The one who tied the knot must untie it.
After leaving behind these words, Master Huiming departed.
Jiang Ji couldn't understand the meaning of this sentence. If calamity meant encountering a vengeful ghost, then what was the answer?
Now he seems to understand.
Master Lin has the ability to subdue evil spirits, so he must be able to predict what Master Huiming is thinking. That's probably what Master Huiming meant.
Jiang Ji repeated, "Master Lin, I would like to ask you to tell my fortune."
Lin Xi yawned, "What's that? Studies, career, and marriage are all fine."
Jiang Ji lowered his eyes, his fingertips trembling slightly. "I want to calculate... my sister."
"Yes, I want to know if my sister is still alive."
Lin Xi froze upon hearing this.
She had never met Jiang Ji before, yet he was concerned about whether she was still alive.
The word "living" is quite intriguing.
Lin Xi replied nonchalantly, "Of course she's still alive. She's doing very well, so you don't need to worry."
Jiang Ji suddenly opened her eyes wide, a hint of surprise flashing in them.
He stepped forward, extremely excited, "Master, my sister is still alive, really still alive?"
"Hmm." Lin Xi said calmly, "Consider this divination a gift from me, and I won't charge you for it."
"goodbye."
She pushed open the glass and jumped out of the window.
Su Zikun couldn't help but complain, "The master's tastes are really peculiar. She has a door to open but doesn't go through it; she just likes to jump off buildings."
He turned around and saw Jiang Ji standing motionless, his gaze fixed on the windowsill.
"Hey, hey, everyone's gone, what are you looking at?"
Su Zikun waved his hand, "Jiang Ji, I've noticed that you've been acting strangely ever since you met Master Lin; you're always spacing out."
"Could it be..."
In an instant, Su Zikun imagined a hundred or so melodramatic novels.
"Jiang Ji, is Master Lin your long-lost white moonlight?"
"Holy crap! This is so melodramatic!"
"Go ahead and chase him! Jump down from here and chase him!"
Jiang Ji rubbed his temples. "There's no white moonlight!"
"I don't believe you." Su Zikun pouted. "Tell me quickly about the love-hate relationship between you and your white moonlight, and I can come up with some crazy ideas for you..."
Jiang Ji couldn't take it anymore, so he grabbed him by the collar, opened the door, and threw him outside.
"roll!"
Holy crap!
Su Zikun nearly got his nose caught in the door. He roared angrily, "Jiang Ji, aren't we brothers? You use me and then throw me away, you have no conscience!"
Jiang Ji sat on the sofa in a daze. He was too excited just now and only asked if his sister was alive.
Before he could even ask where his sister was, Master Lin left.
I'll ask again next time when I have the chance.
The Jiang family is a very complicated place; he's just glad to know his sister is still alive.
...
As dawn broke, Lin Xi woke up.
She didn't sleep well last night; she dreamt that her parents didn't want her, and that Jiang Ji said, "Live."
Later, it seemed someone told her something, and she stopped having nightmares.
Lin Xi stretched and got out of bed to wash up.
Downstairs, Aunt Wu had already prepared breakfast; she hadn't left today, which was unusual.
Seeing Lin Xi come down, she waved happily, "Good morning, young mistress."
"Good morning." Lin Xi smelled the aroma of red dates. "Aunt Wu, what delicious food have you made?"
Aunt Wu grinned, revealing eight teeth, and said, "The young master said you didn't sleep well last night, so he specifically asked me to stew red dates, goji berries, and bird's nest to nourish your body."
"This old servant came over early this morning to stew it."
Lin Xi: "..."
Upon hearing the words "old servant," she knew that Aunt Wu was once again indulging in her imagination; domineering CEO novels were truly harmful.
Lin Xi was too lazy to explain, "Thank you, Aunt Wu."
Wu Ma smiled even more happily, "No need to thank me, this is all what this old servant should do."
"Aunt Wu, don't call yourself 'old servant,' it sounds weird," Lin Xi sighed. "Why don't you eat something with me?"
"No, no." Wu Ma stepped back. "Young Madam, please enjoy your meal with the young master. I'll be leaving now."
She ran incredibly fast and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Lin Xi shook her head. "Aunt Wu has her own ideas. As long as she's happy."
There were ten items on the table: a fruit and yogurt platter, banana toast, potato and egg pancakes, ham and cheese sandwiches, millet porridge, soup dumplings, fried dough sticks, shrimp fried noodles, red dates, goji berries and bird's nest soup, and two glasses of milk.
I have to admit, Aunt Wu's cooking skills are amazing.
Fu Jingyao pushed the bird's nest in front of her, saying, "This is a token of Wu Ma's good intentions, please eat it."
Lin Xi looked up at him. "Aunt Wu told me everything. How did you know I didn't sleep well last night?"
"Just a guess."
Fu Jingyao's expression remained calm, but his heart skipped a beat.
Lin Xi didn't get back until 5 a.m. She didn't eat any late-night snack and fell asleep on the bed.
The door to the room was not closed. As he passed by and closed the door, he saw Lin Xi tossing and turning several times, seemingly having a nightmare.
