Chapter 7074
Just then, Sister Sun entered, respectfully saying,
“Madam, Jing Qing wishes to see you.”
Margaret, zooming in on Charlie’s photo and carefully examining her son’s face,
Smiled and said, “Let Jing Qing in.”
“Yes, Madam.”
Sister Sun turned and went out, returning shortly with Jing Qing.
Jing Qing approached Margaret respectfully and said,
“Madam, Jing Qing is preparing to return home.”
“I came to say goodbye and see if you have any instructions for me.”
Margaret put down her phone and smiled, saying,
“Nothing to instruct me on.”
“You’ve worked hard these past few days.”
“Amitabha.”
Jing Qing clasped his hands together respectfully and said,
“Madam, you flatter me. It is my honor to serve you.”
Jing Qing’s 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 Margaret’s guidance,
He realized that both Buddhism and Taoism were under the Heavenly Dao,
And that all beings were not equal,
Because everyone’s 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 hadn’t attained enlightenment,
So she was probably much further from the Dao than Jing Qing, who had.
However, in Jing Qing’s view, her opportunity to get closer to the Dao was entirely due to Margaret’s support,
So she should be respectful and grateful to her.
Margaret looked at Charlie’s photo for a while before reluctantly putting down her phone.
She first replied to Maria, “Thank you, senior.”
Then she said to Jing Qing,
“You’ve been in Japan for a while now, which has delayed many things back home.
Now that everything here is settled,”
“You can go back and attend to your business.”
Jing Qing nodded slightly and said,
“I plan to leave for Tokyo later and take the earliest flight back.”
Margaret smiled and said, “Okay, you can decide according to your own schedule.”
“If you decide to leave later,”
“I’ll have someone take you there.”
Meanwhile, at the top-floor villa of Zijin Villa.
Maria smiled at Charlie and Xiao Xiao, and asked softly,
“Young Master told me on the phone that you had made a new discovery.”
“What exactly is it?”
Charlie, holding Xiao Xiao, said to Maria,
“I met Nanako today, and while chatting with her, I discovered a detail I had previously overlooked.”
“Back then at Qixia Temple, she was enlightened by a monk named Jing Qing,”
“Which is why she was able to achieve enlightenment.”
“I was wondering, what kind of person would be willing to risk exposing themselves to enlighten a stranger?”
Maria’s heart skipped a beat.
Charlie had noticed Monk Jing Qing!
Wasn’t this equivalent to uncovering a corner of Margaret’s cover?
So, she asked Charlie,
“Young Master, do you think the identity of this Monk Jing Qing is questionable?”
“Yes,” Charlie nodded emphatically.
Maria replied, “It’s difficult for me to say about such matters.”
“For cultivators, their secrets are certainly important.”
“But sometimes they also feel that inheritance is necessary.”
“Just like my master, when he was in seclusion in the Shinwan Mountains,”
“He still took my father and Victoria as his disciples.”
As she said this, Maria felt nauseous, because she already knew Meng Changsheng’s despicable character.
However, to avoid arousing Charlie’s suspicion, she could only use him as an example.
Charlie, however, said, “It’s understandable if it’s for inheritance.”
“But Nanako’s going to Qixia Temple wasn’t accidental.”
“It was intentional.”
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 Nanako’s enlightenment,
The matter would inevitably be exposed.
Furthermore, the fact that the woman had left Jinling only intensified Charlie’s 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 Charlie’s 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,
“I think your analysis makes a lot of sense, young master.”
“If she was deliberately led to Qixia Temple, and then Master Jingqing appeared to enlighten her by chance,”
“Then this proves that they are definitely in cahoots.”
“And this might become an important breakthrough!”
“Is that so!”
Receiving Maria’s affirmation boosted Charlie’s confidence,
And he had no doubt about Maria’s previous guidance.
He said seriously, “Finding that woman now will probably be very difficult.”
“But finding Master Jingqing shouldn’t be too troublesome.”
“As a well-known figure in the Buddhist community, his whereabouts should be relatively easy to track.”
“Nanako said that she recently presided over the funeral arrangements for Master Kōin of Kinkaku-ji Temple in Japan.”
“So he should be returning to China soon!”
