Noland Lee always believed that there was an insurmountable gap between him and the Original Master.
He wouldn’t empathize with the Original Master’s memories.
Indeed, it was so.
He acted from the main perspective during meditation.
He saw the doll his parents bought for his little sister, heard their praises, and observed their disgusted glances towards himself.
These scenes, sounds, and expressions were played back through memory, presented before Noland Lee.
At the same time, the resentment deep within the Original Master’s heart appeared in Noland Lee’s own.
However, Noland Lee always remained unmoved.
He silently bore the Original Master’s experiences and understood his mindset.
The unfair treatment and accumulated resentment from the Original Master passed through his mind without leaving a trace.
“I’ve seen your past suffering, Noland Lee Jarvis. I’m not a person who gets trapped in painful memories, even though I am in a difficult situation now.”
Noland Lee closed his eyes and tilted his head slightly upwards.
The memories in his mind continued to play.
He heard the admonishments from the Original Master’s parents and felt the humiliation and anger when the Original Master was bullied.
Noland Lee exhaled slowly, murmuring to himself:
“People often think that suffering makes one stronger. However, in reality, most people are tortured by suffering to the point of becoming unrecognizable. They become weak, disabled, barely alive until they die.
“In my view, suffering is never worth praising.
“What we should truly admire is the rationality, determination, and courage demonstrated in the face of suffering.
“I will honor the soul contract between you and me, Noland Lee Jarvis. Now, let your memories be gone with the wind.”
As his words fell, Noland Lee heard a faint, shattering sound, weak but incredibly clear, as if it were coming from his brain.
Afterwards, a refreshing stream flowed from the depths of his mind, encircling his cerebral cortex before returning into the depths of his mind.
That brief moment of comfort made Noland Lee emit a satisfied low hum, like drinking ice-cold cola on a hot summer day.
