Chapter 3015: Bitterness has ended, sweetness lies ahead

Hearing An Anxi's sigh, Sun Jie couldn't help but ask with a smile: "And what about Xiao Churan from the Xiao family? What do you think of her?"
"Xiao Churan..." An Chengqi fell silent for a moment, then said seriously, "In a way, she owes a debt to Chen'er, but after four years of marriage, she hasn't conceived or given birth to a child, so I speculate that their marriage is just for show, lacking substance. Judging from what Chen'er has done for her, he should be sincerely devoted to her, yet their marriage lacks substance. Therefore, the problem should lie with Xiao Churan herself." Translated: "Xiao Churan..." An Chengqi said solemnly after a brief silence. "To some extent, she has a debt to Chen'er. However, after four years of marriage, she hasn't gotten pregnant or given birth to a child. So, I believe their marriage is superficial and lacks real substance. Judging from what Chen'er has done for her, he must be completely devoted to her. Yet, despite this, their marriage lacks substance. Therefore, the problem should lie with Xiao Churan herself."
Saying that, An Chengxi also said, "She must have her reasons, and I shouldn't make baseless speculations. But does this also indicate from another perspective that she doesn't love Chen'er as much, or perhaps, she doesn't love Chen'er as much as Chen'er loves her?"
Sun Jie nodded: "Madam is right, I also think so. If Master Chen divorces Xiao Churan in the future, whether he chooses Miss Gu or Miss Ito, it should be great for him. It is apparent that both of these young ladies love him."
An Chengxi slightly nodded, sighing with a hint of emotion. She said, "Whether he leaves or stays, it's all Cheng'er's own choice. In the past twenty years, I have not fulfilled the duties and obligations of a mother, and now I have no right to meddle in his choice of a partner. I'm merely answering your question, that's all."
Sun Jie nodded and couldn't help but sigh: "Actually, Zhīyú from the Su family, Wǎntíng from the Song family, and Hǎilúnà from Northern Europe are all exceptional girls. It's difficult to find any flaws in them. Young Master Chen's popularity among the opposite sex is indeed much better than the average person." NOTE: The names have been transliterated and may not correspond to actual names in English.
An Chengxi sighed lightly and said, "These girls are indeed rare good girls. I just don't know if the arrival of Chen Er will hinder their happiness."
After speaking, An Chengxi continued, "It is said that in The Return of the Condor Heroes, Guo Xiang's life was changed forever when she met Yang Guo at Fengling Ferry. But if you think about it carefully, it is not only Guo Xiang who was affected by Yang Guo in that book. Cheng Ying and Lu Wushuang also ended up lonely and old. Aren't they also misled by Yang Guo? And then there's Gong Sunlve, who was born and died in the Valley of Extreme Cold, and met a tragic death in front of Yang Guo. As for Wan Yanping, although she eventually married someone else and found her place, was she really happy throughout her life?"
Speaking of this, An Chengqi sighed and asked, "By the way, Sister Sun, do you still remember Du Haiqing?"
Sister Sun quickly bowed and said, "Madam, of course I remember. Miss Du from the Du family was infatuated with Young Master Changying in the past. It was well-known among the circles in Yanjing, and no one was unaware of it."
An Chengxi sighed with a tinge of regret and said, "Thirty years ago, she was very much like Guo Xiang. After I married Zhang Changying, she married someone else like Wang Ping. And now, she has secluded herself in the old residence where Zhang Changying used to live, just like Cheng Ying. Her life hasn't been easy, and things haven't gone well for her. Fortunately, it was Chen Er who saved her and her daughter in the Jinling Purple Forbidden Mountain tunnel. Otherwise, her life would have been incredibly difficult."
Sun Jie couldn't help but let out a long sigh, saying, "Ah... as you said, Miss Du from the Du family has indeed had a difficult life."
She quickly added, "But now, she should be considered to have turned her luck around."
An Chengxi shook his head, his eyes slightly red with a hint of moisture, and softly said, "If one deeply loves someone but can never be with them, then life is nothing but bitter, without any sweetness. The day she bought the old mansion where I and Changying once lived during the auction should have been the moment when her bitterness ended, but the sweetness never came."
"When Chener sold the old house at the auction, I was also happy for her for a long time. If there is a chance in the future, I even want to visit her in person, shake hands, make peace, and have a long conversation with her..."
Speaking of this, An Chengxi paused for a moment and continued speaking: "I want to tell her that at some point before Chang Yin met me, he was also moved by her years of persistence and infatuation, and once thought about walking through life with her."
"Just as Changyan was about to make a decision, fate made him encounter me. As a result, all his years of effort were thwarted, but she had no idea that she had come so close to the outcome she desired the most."
Sister Sun asked her, "Madam, if that day really comes, would Du Haiqing misunderstand your intentions and think that you are showing off to her or something else?" "I don't think so," An Chengqi said. "I believe she would be relieved and then reconcile with her past self and the Ye Changying who was once indifferent and heartless towards her in her memories. Perhaps we can become good friends, and I can find a courtyard in Jinling to visit her and reminisce as old bosom buddies when I have the leisure."

After speaking, An Chengqi quickly waved his hand and changed the subject, asking, "Has Jingqing arrived?"
Sun Jie hurriedly replied, "He is still on the helicopter, almost there."
During the conversation, the roaring sound of the helicopter engine and the whirring of the rotor could already be heard in the valley.
Sun Jie said, "Madam, Jingqing has arrived."
"Good," An Chengqi nodded, "Tell him to come directly here to see me."
A few minutes later, a helicopter landed in the open space outside the courtyard, and a monk wearing a robe and a kasaya walked towards the entrance of the courtyard.
At that moment, the gate opened, and Sun Jie smiled and said, "Jingqing, Madam has been waiting for you."
This monk is none other than the famous monk Jingqing in recent years.
Ven. Jingqing is not yet fifty years old and has been formally ordained for less than twenty years. However, with his profound understanding and unique insights into Buddhism, he has become a highly recognized and revered enlightened monk in present times.
Over the years, he has been spreading the principles of Buddhism everywhere, not seeking any personal gain but hoping to teach people to approach the ups and downs of life with optimism.
He has always paid attention to the group of people suffering from depression, and has made every effort to preach Buddhism to those with depression or tendencies across the country, in exchange for their attachment to the world. Invisibly, he has saved countless lost souls from desperate situations and is truly a great benefactor.
And the reason he is able to make rapid progress in Buddhism, in addition to his own understanding, is also due to a very important factor; to some extent, he can be considered a cultivator.
他能感悟灵气，也能通过自身体内的运转体炼灵气、让灵气变得更加精深，不过他的天赋不足，开蒙之后，灵气全在识海之中，所以他不具备叶辰那般恐怖的实力和夸张的神通，只是识海得到了极大的扩展与提升，所以便使得他在研习佛法的时候，有了更深层次的解读与感悟。
At this moment, the monk Jingqing, with his hands pressed together in front of Sister Sun, said "Amitabha Buddha," and then quickly walked into another courtyard and arrived in front of An Chengxi.
Upon seeing An Chengxi, Monk Jingqing pressed his hands together and bowed respectfully, saying, "Jingqing greets Madam."
An Chengxi earnestly said, "Jingqing, you are now an accomplished monk. In front of me, there is no need to be so formal and polite."
Master Jingqing firmly replied, "Madam, Jingqing's current enlightenment and realization are all thanks to your guidance years ago. Without you, there would be no Jingqing today. Whenever it may be, you are second only to the Buddha in Jingqing's heart."
With a smile, An Chengxi nodded and said, "You have your own ideas and persistence, and I won't force you too much."
Speaking again, An Chengxi continued, "Let's get to the point. I invited you here in haste because I heard that you have been preaching Buddhism at Lingyin Temple recently, which happens to be not far from here. So I asked you to come and guide a young girl for me, to help her start her enlightenment."
景清法师微微一怔，下意识的问：“夫人，您说的开蒙，是当年您帮景清开蒙的那种吗？”
“对！”安成蹊点点头：“她与你当年一样，都有凭借识海开蒙悟道的潜质，我要你将当年我跟你说的一切，原封不动的告诉她、助她悟道。”
Master Jingqing respectfully said without thinking: "Okay, madam, Jingqing obeys!"
