South Korea was a religious country, with the most Christian populations in Southeast Asia. But due to the influence of China, there was also Buddhism in the country, and Tongdosa was the biggest Buddism temple in South Korea. It was often visited by believers of Buddism on an annual basis, and it was famous for its marriage divinations. There was a legend that hanging a marriage seeking divination on the seven-colored three in the courtyard would bless you in finding your other half.
After the hotel's failure, Lee Jun-na ordered the chauffeur to drive her to Tongdosa to visit Master Qian. Despite being late at night, Master Qian was still receiving his believers.
"Venerable Father, I've failed!" Lee Jun-na sincerely kneeled. She had absolute faith in Master Qian. She had witnessed many miracles with her eyes, such as Park Joong-sun and Choi Beom-gyu falling unconscious, or how Sim Chang-suk was willing to listen to her orders and launch an attack against Park Joong-sun with explosives.
Master Qian couldn't accomplish it if he wasn't someone blessed by the heavens. Thus, Master Qian was omnipotent in her eyes.
"Failure was within my expectations." Master Qian patiently consoled. He understood Korean, since it was due to his believers being mostly South Koreans.
"Why?" Lee Jun-na asked in shock.
"The reason why I allowed you to try despite knowing that it would fail was to resolve the knot in your heart." Master Qian profoundly said.
Actually, Lee Jun-na was unaware that Master Qian had a set of routines with his speech.
If the plan succeeded, he would say somewhere in the line of: "Success was within my expectations. You don't have to be too excited as it was the will of Buddha that resolved your difficulties."
Most preachers were shams, they were just better in their skills to brainwash others. Not only that, but the brainwashed party would also show revere and respect towards them.
"I still can't resolve the hatred in my heart! My older brother was sent to prison, and he treated me well since young. He would stand out to defend me every time I was bullied. This time, it's my turn to protect him!" Lee Jun-na sobbed as she continued, "Master, please enlighten me. Please tell me how I should take my vengeance!"
"Revenge breeds revenge; will there ever be an end to it?" Master Qian let out a deep sigh as he continued, "You should find the cause of your failure!"
"It's that man again, Su Tao. He was the one who stopped Sim Chang-suk from detonating himself!" Lee Jun-na further a.n.a.lysed, "If Sim Chang-suk had succeeded in detonating the explosive, then everyone would have been killed. The plan was flawless!"
Hearing Su Tao's name, Master Qian's eyes flashed with an unnoticeable chill, but he maintained a calm voice, "You have already found the cause, so I believe I don't have to give you any more suggestions."
Giving a kowtow in respect, Lee Jun-na bade her farewell and left.
After a long silence, a shadow kneeled onto the ground. "Venerable Father, please allow me to make a trip back to China and rescue Nida."
Shaking his head, Master Qian replied, "Ba.s.soon, I have once told you that you are now allowed to have any personal feelings while being my disciple!"
"But Nida is my younger sister, and I can't just watch her suffer!" Ba.s.soon begged.
"You're Buddha's disciple. You should only have Buddha in your heart and not any worldly desires. Leave, you are grounded for five days!" Master Qian closed his eyes before coldly saying again, "She has failed her mission, and death is her only way home. If you want to take vengeance for Nida, then deal with that Chinese, Su Tao. He's currently in South Korea."
