Chapter 269: 269
Guan Ping jumped in fright when she looked back at Fangzheng Fangzheng was gone . Replacing him was a white-dressed woman with a stoic expression with a look of benevolence . She sat on a lotus flower platform and a Buddhist wheel lit up behind her . Guan Ping subconsciously exclaimed, "Guan Yin Bodhisattva?!"
It was naturally not Guan Yin Bodhisattva but Fangzheng transformed . Fangzheng smiled but did not nod nor shake his head . "Here is a pill named Material Forgetting Pill . After eating it, your importance of wealth will diminish as you become indifferent to fame and wealth . " Then, the allurement of money you mentioned will dissipate naturally and it would no longer be a problem for you . But you have to understand that if you were to reject the enticement, everything will return to how it was . Decide on the path you wish to travel . "
Guan Ping was taken aback . She never expected Guan Yin Bodhisattva to produce such a pill . She pinched her thigh and it hurt . It was not a dream! Since it was not a dream, it meant everything was real . Bodhisattva was real and so was the pill!
Upon coming to this realization, Guan Ping's heart thumped as it raced . Her gaze fell onto the Material Forgetting Pill, eyes wavering, an intense war being waged inside her .
Seconds changed to minutes but Fangzheng did not have any intention to press her for a decision . He quietly waited .
Ten minutes, twenty minutes, an hour . . .
Deep in her heart, she was constantly pondering a question . If she could return to the past, would she?
Without her villa or sports car, none of her branded bags . . . nothing . She had to return to the basement in Beijing, carrying that branded imitation, afraid that others would recognize it as fake . She had to use cosmetics that hurt her skin, wear imitations . . . Just the thought of that left Guan Ping quivering .
What if she did not eat the pill? She would still have everything she currently possessed . She would have to pay for it with her reputation . She would forever be labeled as a money-grubber . If her beau abandoned her, she might still get some money but that label would forever cling to her . However, was reputation really so important? Did she really come here to return to the past?
The answer was obvious! She did not wish to return . She came here to say all that because . . . she wanted to find someone she did not know, someone who she could confide in and tell her story, hoping to gain his approval! As long as someone approved her actions, she could let go of her inhibitions . She could pursue everything she wanted without fearing the reactions of others . Yet she had never expected that after screening for candidates, it eventually landed on Bodhisattva . She was in an even deeper dilema than before . She did not wish for Bodhisattva to think of her as a money-grubber or a bitch . . .
Fangzheng looked at Guan Ping and kept sighing . He shook his head gently and put away the pill . "The mortal world leads to hell . Enticement is a constant, steering people away from their original aspirations . It is up to you to decide your future path . "
After Fangzheng said that, he dispelled the divine power . Guan Ping felt her eyes turn into a blur as Bodhisattva vanished . The person in front of her was still the clean-looking young monk . His face had a radiant smile filled with calmness and peace . The sunlight penetrated the bodhi tree's leaves and landed on his body like dancing butterflies, making him appear especially sacred .
"Patron, do you have any other questions?"
"Uh, Venerable One, you . . . What just happened?" Guan Ping was unsure if Fangzheng knew about Guan Yin Bodhisattva's appearance as she gave an inquisitive probe .
Fangzheng gave an innocent and unknowing look and asked, "What happened? Where were we?"
