Stop right there!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He originally wanted to call out to Scarlett Jennings, but recalling the days of being treated like a fool, he restrained himself.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was awkward to call out to his niece, but Kingston, being his own son, he shouted at him with confidence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Kingston Jennings halted his steps, turned to look at Michael Jennings, but still said nothing, evidently waiting for the other side to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abbott glanced at Kingston, then at Michael Jennings, suddenly asking,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Is he a practitioner here at the temple?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings, seeing the Abbott ask, found it inappropriate to say he no longer wished to become a monk in front of the two young ones, so he bit his lip and said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Abbott, I came here to become a monk.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abbott then looked at a temple monk nearby, responsible for receiving short-term practitioners.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The latter pursed his lips, silently agreeing, but his gaze carried a certain depth of meaning.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Others didn’t understand, but the Abbott did.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It meant the person’s devotion to Buddha wasn’t sincere enough.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Three to five days of meditation is likely the limit.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abbott knew this but didn’t express it, only saying,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Sometimes the practice doesn’t yield results, not because you’re not sincere, but simply due to a lack of Buddhist affinity; whether to truly become a monk, there’s no rush to decide.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As he spoke, the Abbott paused, then suddenly looked at Kingston Jennings,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“This gentleman seems to have deep Buddhist affinity, would you be interested in practicing at the temple for a period?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>From the moment Kingston met him, he hadn’t spoken. Now, seeing the Abbott suddenly address him, he was initially taken aback but adeptly took out his phone and replied,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Thank you, Abbott, but I have no intention of practicing.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Hearing the electronic voice from the phone, the Abbott wasn’t offended; instead, his eyes brightened.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Your Fate Chart is unique, coupled with practicing silent meditation, you are naturally connected with Buddha; joining Buddha Gate could be beneficial for your future longevity.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The Abbott wasn’t just an ordinary abbot; he was a Buddhist Practitioner, thus recognizing at first sight the young man’s Child Life Fate Chart.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Knowing he practiced silent meditation made him even more pleased.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings didn’t expect the one intending to become a monk was himself, but the other side had taken an interest in his son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though he felt gloomy, thinking of Kingston’s situation, he still said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kingston, since the Abbott suggested, you might consider joining me in meditation at the temple.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings wasn’t apathetic about Kingston’s future; he cared even less for this eldest son, but didn’t truly wish to see him die young.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Since the Abbott mentioned entering Buddha Gate for his longevity, perhaps this was the right path for him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The family certainly wouldn’t oppose.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In saying this, it seemed like he, the father, inadvertently saved the eldest son.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Thinking this, Michael Jennings felt his decision to become a monk, regardless of the outcome, was indeed beneficial.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Concerning Kingston Jennings’s future, Scarlett didn’t immediately speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>As the Abbott said, Kingston entering Buddha Gate would indeed aid his longevity.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But she never mentioned it, firstly due to her unfamiliarity with Buddhism, and secondly because she never sensed any interest in Buddhism from Kingston.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Sure enough, Kingston was indifferent to the Abbott’s words; only when hearing Michael Jennings did he slightly furrow his brow and lowered his head, about to type a reply, when suddenly came an urgent shout from behind,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“My brother won’t become a monk!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>It was Adam Jennings who appeared from nowhere, rushing forward to grab Kingston and pulling him away from Michael Jennings and the Abbott.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Initially curious about Scarlett and Kingston’s solitary outing yet embarrassed to say he wanted to join, he covertly followed.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Now he was grateful for sneaking along!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He never expected the Abbott of Temple of Origin would suggest Kingston entering Buddha Gate, but without considering Kingston’s thoughts, Michael Jennings’s direct persuasion for Kingston to become a monk truly irritated him.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Even if muddle-headedly chaotic himself, dragging Kingston into it was intolerable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Letting the biological son become a monk — how does this qualify as a father?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s gaze was both fierce and wary, protecting Kingston as if someone wanted to harm him, instantly rousing Michael Jennings’s anger,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What kind of look is that?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam didn’t respond, only repeating, “My brother won’t become a monk; if you want to become one, do it yourself, don’t drag him into it.”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings, hearing his only close son indulgently allowing him to become a monk, immediately grew even angrier, pointing at him and chastising,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“What are you saying?! I’m his father, would I ever harm him?! It’s all for his own good!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“When have you ever treated him well?!”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The moment Adam shouted those words, it seemed the entire temple fell silent for a moment, and Michael Jennings looked at his son in disbelief.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He… is he criticizing him as a father?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He truly wasn’t that attentive to Kingston as a son, but he certainly wouldn’t harm him!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Could it be Adam thought of him this way?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Michael Jennings was genuinely saddened by this.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Compared to the eldest and youngest, he might not have been a great dad, but he was definitely not a bad one!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“You… you…” Michael Jennings stammered, unable to speak.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett and the Abbott didn’t interject.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And Kingston, shielded by Adam, listened to Adam’s shout and observed his current angry demeanor, stunned for a while before reaching out to tug on Adam’s grasping hand.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam shivered, turning to look at Kingston,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>“Kingston, you don’t intend to become a monk, do you?”\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Comparatively, his gleaming defense against Michael Jennings was now tinged with anxiety at addressing Kingston, faintly resembling a fearful animal afraid of abandonment.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam’s feelings toward Kingston were always complex; when had he clearly exhibited dependence on this brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Perhaps during parental divorce, mother’s departure to another country, and father’s unreliability.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He realized, the closest family members seemed to be only Kingston and Ismeria Jennings.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Ismeria was young, often needing care, whereas Kingston… was his brother, his only blood brother.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He knew what dad said might be right.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>If letting Kingston become a monk truly could ensure his future longevity, then it would be beneficial for Kingston.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But…\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say entering Buddha Gate means renouncing worldly ties; once Kingston joined Buddha Gate, would he still be his brother?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>They say Buddha Gate seeks tranquility; Kingston’s previous life at the sanatorium was tranquil enough — finally, seeing more vitality in him, would becoming a monk lead to solitary meditation once more?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Adam knew this was wrong, but he simply didn’t want it.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He didn’t want Kingston to live that way.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Scarlett had said, as long as Kingston didn’t speak, his longevity wouldn’t be impacted, so couldn’t he just continue not talking?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He mulled over it, his gaze becoming more stubborn, and Kingston watched him for a moment before suddenly patting his hand, then bowed his head to type.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[I’m not becoming a monk.]\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Once he typed this, Kingston turned again towards the Abbott, releasing the remaining sentence.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He said,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>[Thank you, Abbott, but my brother doesn’t wish for me to enter Buddha Gate, and I… can’t let go of my family ties, so I’m not joining.]\u003C\u002Fp>",1263,"2026-06-10T07:19:05.091Z",1,"novelbin.me","5532585cfd0aa7afe75f2327a13dafbe0fcdb32f2c0c4706134aec90cdf2c685","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1218","the-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-chapter-1216",1286,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Fthe-fake-heiress-turns-out-to-be-a-true-tycoon-cover.jpg"]
