Chapter 444 - A Gentleman (2/2)

In the end, she filled a big bowl with rice and passed it to her. “Here you go, Patron Ling.”

Ling Sheng took it with both hands and placed it on the table before putting her palms together and chanting a Buddhist proclamation. Then, she said seriously, “Thank you, Nun Jingxin.”

Su Yi did not look at her. She just lowered her eyes and ate calmly. Had she done this on purpose? How could she not be full? The male devotees had not eaten so much of her food just to talk to Nun Jingxin!

Ling Sheng swore that she had not done it on purpose. The food was really delicious and fragrant. She should bring her grandparents and Xiaoqi over to try it another day.

Everyone had finished eating, leaving her alone. She put down her chopsticks and waited for her.

Upon seeing that she had finished all the food in front of her and was still eating the bean rice happily, Nun Jingxin could not help but smile.

Buddhism emphasized the fact that meals were provided for by devotees from all over the world. There could not be any leftovers or abandoned food. Everyone had eaten until their plates were clean. She had also eaten her own food, so there was nothing left for her to eat.

After Ling Sheng finished eating, she placed the bowls and chopsticks down according to the Buddhist rules and sat properly. She waited for the abbot to recite the “Closing Verse” before everyone got up to leave.

There was a small Dharma Assembly in the afternoon. Su Yi followed her, but Ling Sheng did not go. She just strolled around the temple.

The back of the temple, where the nuns were resting, was not locked. As Ling Sheng walked, she entered that place unknowingly.

It was early winter, and the weather was very cold. The sun was shining brightly, but the wind on the mountain was strong. The trees were bare, and there was only a bunch of evergreen trees and a few tall snow pines not far away.

After making a turn on the road, Ling Sheng suddenly saw a man wearing a mask in a wheelchair. His fleeting figure made her suspect that she had seen wrong, but her heart was full of surprise. Had the Third Master come to find her?

She hurriedly headed in that direction. When she got close, she realized that the figure was not the Third Master. It was a pleasingly affectionate man that gave off a gentlemanly vibe.

She walked over quietly and stood behind the man. When she followed the man’s gaze, her eyes lit up.
