Chapter 218 Return to the Rightful Owner 

Master Nirvana, with a respectful bow, softly murmured, “Amitabha Buddha. Like I said before, there’s a special bond between the donor and the Buddha, nothing else.” 

Milly was sceptical. How did this monk know about her bracelet without her ever mentioning it? Moreover, he seemed to st she just let it be. Clearly, he knew something she didn’t. 

Her curiosity peaked, and she pushed for more details. 

“Master Nirvana, what’s up with this bracelet anyway? It’s stuck on my wrist and acts independently whenever my feelings go wild. It moves by itself, and I feel dizzy, just like earlier.” 

This wasn’t just her imagination. At first, she brushed it off, but then it became evident. The bracelet. moved independently. 

But how? A lifeless object moving on its own made zero sense scientifically. 

Master Nirvana gently shook his head and repeated, “Amitabha Buddha. Some secrets of the universe must remain so. You need to figure some things out for yourself.” 

Milly was at a loss. 

It wasn’t as if she was asking for the moon. Yet, this monk wouldn’t budge an inch. 

Frustrated, she demanded, “At least tell me how to get this bracelet off.” 

“Why would you want to? It was meant for Milly, wasn’t it?” 

“It’s not mine. Like you said, it’s belonged to your disciple. I accidentally ended up with it, so I must take it off and return it!” 

“But it has found its way to its true owner. Why talk of giving it back?” 

Milly was dumbfounded. 

It was like talking to a wall..She’d made it so clear. Why couldn’t he get what she wanted? If it was hers, why would she want to return it? Do monks lack basic understanding? 

The whole conversation was infuriating, 

Was this like playing a tune to a deaf ear? Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.

She wondered, half–jokingly, how long she’d end up in prison for throttling a monk right now. Her patience was wearing thin. 

Calming herself down, Milly asked again, hoping for a straight answer, “What can you tell me?” 

Master Nirvana nodded. “The essence is profound, reality merely a shadow. Everything’s like a flower in the sky, a moon reflected in the water. Getting too caught up leads to more trouble.” 

Milly immediately tensed. He had mentioned something similar at the airport. 

Everything, including ourselves and this world, is like reflections, ephemeral. Getting too attached to these

Chapter 218 Return to the Rightful Owner 

At that moment, she had thought he knew she didn’t belong in this world, reminding her, but now, repeating it, what was he hinting at?

Milly asked, “Master Nirvana, are you saying … are you saying I shouldn’t worry about what’s happening around me because I don’t belong here? Is that it?” 

Master Nirvana, playing with his rosary, looked at her thoughtfully and said, “Trees have roots, leaves are attached to stems; aren’t they all connected?” 

Milly quickly tried to explai “But I’m wearing .. 

She stopped herself. 

Would mentioning she’d ‘transmigrated into a book‘ sound unbelievable or supernatural? After all, her story seemed even more far–fetched than Stephanie’s rebirth. 

But the truth was, she didn’t belong in this world. She remembered clearly, transmigrating into this book with all her memories intact. 

Why did Master Nirvana insist that her place was in this world? 

Or was he suggesting she was meant to be in ‘Milly’s body‘ rather than in her own soul? 

It’s pretty baffling. 

“Young lady, it seems you haven’t yet understood the concept of ‘empty flowers and moonlight.“” 

Master Nirvana’s abrupt interjection snapped her out of her thoughts. 

Empty flowers and moonlight? 

Isn’t that something vague and elusive? Why is he stressing about it? 

“Wait, is this all just superficial? Is there a deeper meaning?” Milly asked, frowning. 

Remaining calm, Master Nirvana smiled cryptically. “I’m only human and can’t give you the answers you want. It’s up to you to comprehend its importance. The Buddha’s teachings and the journey of all living beings are connected. You have the power to change, while I do not.” 

Milly remained silent 

What’s he trying to say? 

He says he’s merely human, but does that imply he might be a deity instead? 

Why do his words make sense independently yet become confusing when pieced together? 

At first, she hoped this monk could enlighten her on her questions, but his words only puzzled her. 

However, he claimed the bracelet was hers, yet she knew it wasn’t. 

Moreover, he stated she belonged to this world, whereas she was sure she had transmigrated into a book. 

And then, there’s the sentient bracelet, which he seemed to know about, too.

If she asked him directly, the monk would dodge the question with ambiguous replies. In the end, she had to figure things out on her own. Yet, the only person who seemed to have the answers was the monk before her. So, if she wanted clarity, she had no choice but to rely on this elderly monk. 

“Master Nirvana, if I were to become your disciple, could I stay by your side, and would all these mysteries be solved, including the real nature of this bracelet?” 

Even though she didn’t genuinely want to become a disciple of Buddhism, it seemed the only way to solve these mysteries. 

Master Nirvana responded, “Amitabha, everything is set in stone. The more capable you are, the more responsibility you have. All events are predestined in the grand scheme.” 

The more capable you are, the more responsibility you have? 

What does that mean? 

Is he suggesting I should aim to be a notable figure in the entertainment world in the future? But is it usually the job of producers? 

Or is he hinting for me to excel academically and serving my country? But that’s not something I could do alone, right? 

On thinking it through, she didn’t really possess any remarkable talents. 

Inside the Buddha hall. 

Feeling a bit worried, Anthony kept shooting nervous looks at the brightly lit room nearby, walking back and forth restlessly. “Why can’t they talk about it here? Why must they move to a separate room, just the two? Could it be that the old man has ulterior motives?”
