The Charismatic Charlie Wade – Chapter 5653

In a secluded mountain retreat, Sister Turk observed the bustling activity in the Buddhist hall through the surveillance monitor. Fuming with anger, he exclaimed, "Can you believe it, Madam? Master Geoffrey actually wants to convince Nanako Ito to become a nun! Isn't this a grave deviation from our path?"

Lily smiled reassuringly and replied, "There's no need to fret. Since Master Geoffrey experienced enlightenment, his heart has become intertwined with Buddhism. His utmost concerns lie with the Buddha, the Dharma, and all sentient beings. As for Nanako Ito, she possesses great understanding and wisdom. Even if it were another esteemed master, they would be eager to accept her as a disciple. That's precisely why I wanted her to attain enlightenment under Master Geoffrey's guidance. Such talent should not go to waste outside our gates. However, I know Nanako well enough to say that even if Master Geoffrey were to morally pressure her with the entire world's population of seven billion, she would never agree. So, there's no need to worry."

Indeed.

Nanako Ito instinctively took a step back and apologized, "I... I already have someone I love. How can I embrace Buddhism?"

Lily smiled knowingly behind the monitor and remarked, "Sister Turk, did you notice the subtlety? Nanako referred to herself as a disciple in front of Master Geoffrey earlier, but now she has shifted to using 'I,' creating a clear boundary between them."
