Chapter 218:The Miraculous Powers of the Living Buddha
Amman was slightly stunned, quickly shaking her head. "Dad, no. Whether it's Zhu Ming Group or those super enterprises, they are not something our An Group can contend with! I can't ruin your hard work because of me! Besides, there's more than just Eric in this world..."
Amman's understanding nature touched An deeply. He chuckled, "Manman, don't worry. Your dad is not a pushover that anyone can take advantage of! Even if that kid Eric has the Ming Dynasty aristocracy and the super enterprises of Country A backing him, I don't care..."
"Dad..."
Amman looked worried, wanting to say more, but An shook his head. "Go upstairs, take a shower, change your clothes, and then come down to have dinner with Dad..."
Although Amman could be willful and capricious, she was also a clever girl. After carefully observing that An's expression was normal and there was no intention of "burning the bridges," she nodded slightly in relief and went upstairs to change.
Watching Amman go upstairs, the smile on An's face turned stern. He said to the housekeeper standing respectfully, "Old Gu, contact Luo Shu..."
Bali, Indonesia, is renowned as the "Island of Gods," the "Island of Thousand Temples," the "Island of Arts," and the "Dawn of the World," making it a world-famous tourist destination.
Kuta Beach, known as the "most beautiful coast in Bali," is also the busiest area for tourists on the island. Surprisingly, in this bustling area where every inch of land is valuable, there is a large coastal mansion.
This luxury mansion is not a resort but the private estate of a Chinese descendant. To own such a mansion in such a place indicates the wealth of its owner! What is even more surprising is that this luxurious mansion does not have many security personnel, and the residents inside usually keep a low profile.
Such a family naturally attracts the covetous.
And what is surprising is precisely this!
Whether it's the occasional "thief" sneaking in or the hundreds of "robbers" swarming in during "turmoil," without exception, all of them enter but never leave!
While ordinary people spread various rumors out of fear, those in the supernatural world just smile when they hear them because they all know that the owner of that luxurious mansion is the only S-class psychic in the world, one of the top ten super masters in the supernatural world—the Fallen Angel, Luo Shu!
Of course, those in the supernatural world could never imagine that this highly esteemed super master in their world is actually a subordinate of a mysterious psychic called the "Emperor of the Supernatural"!
At this moment, Luo Shu just hung up the phone and couldn't help but burst into laughter.
Seeing his boss, who had been frowning in recent days, in such high spirits, the aide beside him curiously asked, "Lord Angel, who called to make you so happy?"
"Hehe, it's a stroke of luck!" Luo Shu laughed heartily. "The CEO of the An Group just called, saying he's in trouble and wants me to send someone to help him!"
The aide was puzzled. "The An Group is one of the economic pillars in Asia. If their CEO is in trouble, why are you so happy?"
"How could I not be happy? The CEO's opponent is our target!" Luo Shu narrowed his eyes and laughed, "Anyway, I have to deal with that guy Eric. This time, I've got an extra hundred million RMB..."
"Congratulations, my lord..." The aide agreed at first, then furrowed his brow slightly. "My lord, we have already sent out our elites to rescue the Flame Messenger and the Rock Force. The remaining people may not be enough to deal with Eric and his skilled subordinates. Should we withdraw some from the rescue team?"
"No!" Luo Shu shook his head. "Rescuing the Flame Messenger and the Rock Force is our top priority. If it's delayed, I'm afraid the Chinese National Security Bureau will learn the organization's secrets from them..."
"Then..."
"Contact the rescue team and tell them that once they succeed, they should immediately split into two groups. One part will escort the Flame Messenger and the Rock Force back for recuperation, and the other will head south to deal with Eric and reclaim the Saintess!"
"Yes, Lord Angel!"
After returning to Shanghai, Eric immediately went to the Dead Yin Abyss and built a new magic array on it to nourish the soul fragments of his mother, instructing Skidmore and the vampires to guard it carefully. Then, without even inspecting Ling Yan Group, they hurriedly returned to the Sakya Temple in Tibet.
"Eric, why are you in such a hurry?" Tan Ailing was somewhat puzzled.
Tang Feiyan rolled her eyes and smiled mischievously. "What else could it be for? Of course, it's for that Sun Clouds girl..."
Eric raised an eyebrow slightly. "What are you talking about?"
"Isn't it?" Tang Feiyan hummed, "Originally, her identity was the Buddhist consort who practiced 'Joyful Zen' with you. She has more legitimacy than us! Look at the reluctance in her eyes when she found out we were going to Shanghai without her. It's almost tangible..."
"Feiyan, you're mistaken!" Tan Ailing smiled and said, "In my opinion, Sun Clouds' eyes are not filled with 'reluctance,' but 'envy' and 'yearning'..."

"Isn't that the same?" Tang Feiyan insisted, "Sun Clouds 'envies' that we can be by Eric's side and 'yearns' to go to Shanghai with Eric..."
"You, always nitpicking over these trivial matters!" Tan Ailing chuckled and scolded, "I can sense that Sun Clouds' mind is not entirely on Eric, but more of a longing for the wonderful world outside!"
Tang Feiyan was slightly stunned. She hesitated and asked, "Ailing, are you saying that the reason that Sun Clouds girl showed that envious and yearning look is not because she can't follow Eric, but because she can't go to the big city to experience it?"
"That's right!"
"But that's not right!" Tang Feiyan was puzzled. "How could someone like Sun Clouds, who has been trained by Sakya since childhood, not respect the Living Buddha and instead pay more attention to the mundane world?"
"I have the same doubt as you!" Tan Ailing frowned, apparently also puzzled. "Maybe Sun Clouds is a 'different kind'?"
When Eric and the others returned to the Living Buddha's dormitory, Sun Clouds, who was seen as a "different kind," greeted them with joy. Her genuine joy and respect made Tan Ailing and Tang Feiyan doubt their previous judgments.
However, Eric, who did not pay much attention to Sun Clouds, did not think about where Sun Clouds' thoughts were. After resting in the Living Buddha's dormitory for a night, he immediately asked her to lead him to the forbidden area of Sakya—where only the Living Buddha could freely enter and exit, the mysterious underground palace!
According to Sun Clouds, the underground palace was located in the Boburi Mountains, more than ten kilometers away from the Sakya Temple. Although Eric and the others did not care about this distance, the Sakya Priest said, "Etiquette must not be neglected," and forcibly brought out the big ox cart. Eric had no choice but to take the three women on the cart and, under the protection of the four secret guards, "walk" to their destination.
During the journey, Tang Feiyan, who was also puzzled by Eric's actions, asked the same question as Tan Ailing, "Eric, what are you trying to do?"
"The underground palace where Sun Clouds used to live is where Sakya keeps important scriptures. It is said that various miraculous powers of the Living Buddha can be found there, as well as methods to practice them!"
"I see," Tan Ailing said knowingly, "Are you planning to cultivate those miraculous powers?"
"Yes!" Eric nodded. He said softly, "Since I have acknowledged this identity, I naturally have to possess the abilities that come with it. I feel uncomfortable always using magic to deceive the believers..."
"Eric, what do you plan to cultivate?" Tang Feiyan glanced at Sun Clouds, who was leading the way ahead, and smirked, "Is it the 'Joyful Zen' that can only be perfected with Sun Clouds' assistance?"
To ensure the privacy of their conversation, Eric had already set up a layer of soundproof barrier around the three of them. Therefore, Sun Clouds did not hear Tang Feiyan's teasing and continued to conscientiously perform her guide duties.
Upon hearing Tang Feiyan's words, another object of teasing sighed helplessly, "There are still many Sakya martial arts in the underground palace, which are top-notch martial arts in the Jianghu. It would be good to practice some! Besides, that 'Joyful Zen' may not be more advanced than the 'Yin-Yang Harmony and Nourishing Life Technique' I am currently practicing..."
What do you think?
