"I can't call myself a master, I'm just a little monk obsessed with worldly affairs." Liao Wu bowed to them in Buddhist salutation.
The two quickly returned a somewhat awkward greeting, "Master, what is this?"
Liao Wu smiled slightly, as if he understood what they were thinking.
"No one in this world can live that long... I am now just a remnant soul. The reason I have survived until now is only because of a few fortuitous encounters..."
Ye Ran hesitated, "Is it...is it because of this jade?"
"Indeed, this piece of jade is called 'Separation,' and I acquired it by chance. Like its name suggests, this jade can be separated..."
"If two lovers each possess a piece of jade, then one day they will meet again..."
Upon hearing this, Lu Yi directly raised his question, "Then, so...you and my ancestor..."
When someone brought up his past from many years ago, Liao Wu didn't show any change in expression. "That's right... he was my junior brother..."
We do our morning and evening prayers together every day, spending every day together discussing Buddhist scriptures...
But I don't know when it started, this feeling changed..."
Ye Ran blurted out somewhat impulsively, "Then why don't we just get together?"
After being with Lu Yi, Ye Ran appreciated the happiness of being with the person she loved even more, so seeing lovers unable to be together made her feel especially sad...
Facing the agitated Ye Ran, Liao Wu showed no change in expression, "Because we have all betrayed Buddha... naturally we must atone for our sins..."
Lu Yi comforted Ye Ran, who was feeling a bit sad, "So... have you finished redeeming yourself?"
Upon hearing this question, a hint of pleasure finally appeared on Liao Wu's face. "Yes... I've waited far too long for this day..."
My junior apprentice and I made a promise... that if there are couples like us who missed each other because of fate, and they can overcome fate and come here again with their tokens of love...
"Then this must be Buddha's forgiveness towards us, and we... can be liberated..."
"Overcoming fate? What does that mean?" Lu Yi asked sensitively. He didn't think he had overcome any difficulties with Ranran. Could it be that he and Ranran would encounter some major difficulties in the future?
He smiled faintly and remained silent.
Ye Ran suddenly understood. The missed connection between her and Lu Yi in her past life had been rekindled in this life thanks to the jade pendant. Could it be because of this...?
Feeling Wu's gaze fixed on her, Ye Ran became somewhat certain...
He offered no reassurance, saying, "Don't worry, the biggest ordeal between you two is over..."
Although you may encounter some setbacks in the future, life is unpredictable and there is no such thing as a smooth journey. These setbacks will only help you to reach new heights...
"Really?" Both of them were very happy.
"Yes!" Liao Wu replied affirmatively.
Suddenly, Ye Ran hesitated, "Then...where is Master Liaokong? Where is he waiting for you?"
Liao Wu smiled slightly, "Him? He's right here..."
