Chapter 1195 Kind-hearted Man
Yet, now that he was in the temple accompanied by the smell of burning candles, the murderous intent that would usually be aroused easily died down as he stared at the praying monk.
“What are you looking at, sir?”
“Nothing.”
He then looked away in a somewhat awkward manner.
The monk smiled at his reaction.
He put down the book he was holding and started to study the young man before him.
He has good looks and has feminine features, which is rare. It’s not that he looks like a woman, but he has a great character according to phrenology, making him a powerful person. With looks like his, it means that he can be masculine but gentle at the same time. Though he wouldn’t be as tender as a woman can be, he would be a meticulous person and a deep one too.
Shortly after, the monk retracted his gaze and said, “It seems to be your first time here.”
“Yes,” Sebastian replied.
“What is the purpose of your visit, sir? Do you have something you want to pray for?”
Pray?
A disdainful look instantly appeared on Sebastian’s face as he answered, “There isn’t.”
A burst of cheerful laughter rang out. “Really? All humans will have greed and hatred. Why did you come if you really didn’t have anything to pray for? Don’t you want the people you love to be happy and safe? And for those who care for you and have helped you, don’t you want them to live a good life?”
Even though the monk’s tone was impassive and indifferent, his words were hard-hitting.
Sebastian was starting to be infuriated, but after a moment, he asked grouchily, “Does it work?”
“Of course. When you pray for something, you’re not really praying for God to take action for you. When you wish for someone to be happy and safe, you’ll work hard to achieve it. Take yourself as an example. Don’t you feel more peaceful now that the people you care for are finally safe and happy? I can see it from your eyes.”
Sebastian’s eyes widened at the monk’s words.
Peace? Is he really able to tell?
He stared at the old monk, his mind in turmoil.
“Are you sure I feel peaceful now?”
“Yes. You’re a kind-hearted man, so it’s only natural that you’d feel peaceful.”
Sebastian fell silent.
Meanwhile, Sasha and Sabrina were paying their respect outside the temple.
