Stephen Thompson was already familiar with all of this.<fn5538> The rightful source is find?novel</fn5538>


    Thest time he escaped from the wade family, he immediately took a boat to Tahiti and lived on an almostpletely isted ind, fearing that charlie would track him down. At that time, just a small use of spiritual energy from charlie would have been enough to make him reveal all their secrets.


    Although this was the first time Jingqing fully understood the danger, he still spoke with a resolute expression. “Don’t worry, Sister Sun. Though I have embraced Buddhism, my wife’smandse before all else. If I fail, I will vanish from this world and never use the name Jingqing again.”


    Sister Sun nodded in approval, her tone serious. “The three of us owe both the master and the madam a great debt. We’ve followed the madam for many years and witnessed the hardships she’s endured in resisting the Poqing Society. Fortunately, the young master has now be a true dragon—it’s no longer impossible to eliminate the Poqing Society. Though he’s long broken free from his early constraints, he still can’t let go of that one emotional tie. Whether or not we can sever his final chains depends on us.”


    Then she turned to Stephen Thompson and said, “It depends on you, Thompson, more than anyone.”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Stephen Thompson’s expression stiffened. Tears welled up in his eyes as he choked with emotion. “Don’t worry, Sister Sun. Even if I have to bang my head against Miss wilson’s to prove my sincerity, I’ll make her agree!”


    Sister Sun scolded, “What kind of foolish idea is that?! Madam instructed us to appeal to her with emotion and reason—no threats, no coercion, no guilt-tripping. That way, Madam can face the young master with a clear conscience in the future.”


    Stephen Thompson nodded solemnly. “Understood, Sister Sun. I was too impulsive—I didn’t think it through.”


    Sister Sun shook her head with a helpless smile, then reminded him, “The burden today falls mostly on you. Just speak to Miss wilson with sincerity and truth. I believe, given her character, she’ll consider the bigger picture.”


    Just after seven o’clock, ire had already parked her car in the lot outside Qixia Temple.


    Sun Mengmeng had arrived earlier.


    She recognized ire’s car, ran toward it, waved, and called out, “Boss wilson!”


    ire got out of the car and asked, “When did you get here? I was just about to message you on WeChat.”


    “Not long ago,” Sun Mengmeng replied with a smile. “Boss wilson, we should hurry—lots of people have already gone in.”


    ire asked curiously, “It’s not a festival today. Why are so many people at Qixia Temple this early in the morning?”


    Sun Mengmeng smiled and said, “Qixia Temple is always popr. On holidays, people even line up overnight just to get in early and burn incense.”


    ire nodded. “So, what’s our n? Master Jingqing is so well-known. We’ll probably have to wait in line to see him, right?”


    Sun Mengmeng said mysteriously, “Master Jingqing has a unique approach—everything is left to fate. Qixia Temple is huge, and no one knows exactly where he’ll be. But if you’re destined, someone will guide you to him.”


    “Huh?” ire asked in surprise. “That sounds a bit mystical. What if I don’t see him—wouldn’t that be a wasted trip?”


    Sun Mengmengughed. “That’s why it depends on your affinity with Buddha. Only those with that connection will receive the Buddha’s blessing.”


    With that, she cheerfully took ire’s arm and said with a grin, “Come on, President wilson. You’re beautiful and kind—I’m sure you have strong Buddha affinity. I’ll ride your luck today!”


    ire smiled helplessly. “I was hoping to ride your luck. Alright, let’s go. Maybe we both share a Buddhist destiny!”
