Quick Transmigration: The Yandere Boss Pretends to Be Well After He's Gone Mad

Jiang Xiyu was stunned.

The next moment, she gently squeezed his hand and then naturally removed it from his eyes.

Jiang Xiyu met his gaze.

His eyes seemed to hold a frosty hue, serene and profound, unreflecting candlelight or the sun and moon.

For a fleeting moment, Jiang Xiyu seemed to glimpse his own reflection within it, even though it vanished instantly into the still water.

After a moment of silence, when Jiang Xiyu tried to look for the trace in his eyes, Shiga calmly looked away, as if he didn't know that Shiga wanted to investigate, and there was no sign of him avoiding him.

Jiang Xiyu blinked very slowly. The hand that Shiga had taken from her moved slightly, and the coolness of the snow seemed to linger on her wrist.

He was silent for a moment, then looked at Shiga's furrowed brows and asked softly, "Master, are you... troubled by something?"

From the moment he entered the meditation cave, Shiga saw him and something seemed very off.

Although Jiang Xiyu had doubts, he couldn't understand Shijia's thoughts, and in the end he could only attribute these abnormalities to his loss of magical power.

Judging from their reactions after meeting, Shiga's abnormality seems to be not only due to the loss of his magic power, but perhaps there are other reasons that he is unaware of.

For some reason, Jiang Xiyu suddenly recalled Shiga's embrace and his seemingly muttered words...

Is this nonsense uttered by Shiga after being possessed by demons?

Or perhaps he was hallucinating because he was distracted by that hug.

Is it him? Did I hear that right?

But if Shiga wasn't talking nonsense, and he hadn't misheard, then...

Jiang Xiyu's thoughts abruptly broke, and he slowly raised his eyelids to look at Shiga.

Sure enough, Shiga was looking at him.

But whenever Jiang Xiyu made eye contact with him, he would subtly look away.

It's as if she wants to see him, yet it's also as if she's afraid to look at him...

Jiang Xiyu was amused by her own thoughts.

It's ridiculous!!!

He realized he was being too narcissistic, so he immediately dismissed those unrealistic assumptions.

What kind of person was Shika? No, he was the Buddha. How could he possibly want to look at a human being?

Jiang Xiyu stiffened, trying not to think any further, but still couldn't help asking, "Master, you haven't answered my question yet. Is something on your mind?"

Shiga paused slightly, meeting his gaze in the flickering candlelight, but remained silent for a long time.

At this moment, no one could know the turmoil of his emotions, nor did he want the person in front of him to see any of it.

However, seeing his determined attitude, Shiga remained silent for a long time before replying in a low voice, "I'm fine."

After he finished speaking, he seemed to feel that these three words could not quell his questioning, so he added, "You don't need to think too much. It's just that my cultivation has been hindered recently, and I'm having some difficulty in understanding."

Jiang Xiyu studied him for a moment and saw that he had a solemn expression and an unapproachable face. She felt a brief sense of wonder in her heart.

He smiled faintly, but there was a hint of heaviness in his eyes.

"Is there anything in this world that a monk cannot comprehend?"

He asked, "What's on your mind that's making you like this?"

In Jiang Xiyu's heart, Shijia's heart is like the bright moon, having transcended the mortal world.

He thought that nothing in this world could hold him back, but when he saw his brows furrowed, Jiang Xiyu vaguely felt that he had something on his mind.

This time, Shiga did not evade his probing. He paused for a moment, then put his palms together and said, "Buddhist teachings are inseparable from worldly matters, and it is common for them to be difficult to comprehend."

Cultivating oneself is a free and easy way to live in the human world.

As for my innermost thoughts, I cannot lie, so I remain silent.

Jiang Xiyu glanced at Shijia furtively, and seeing his calm and composed expression, she decided not to ask any further questions.

However, Shiga never told him what he wanted to know.

Although Jiang Xiyu was used to his silence, at this moment, she inexplicably felt that this silence was more like an avoidance.

Shiga was avoiding the topic, so he really had something on his mind.

This worry affected him, causing him to become obsessed.

At one point, some answers seemed to be on the verge of being revealed, but Jiang Xiyu dared not think in that direction. He did not want to use such thoughts to desecrate Shiga's devotion to Buddhism.

He pondered for a long time, unable to bear seeing Shiga struggling with this unfathomable matter. He recalled an old monk using chopsticks as an example when he was practicing in a temple.

He said that throwing away chopsticks is giving up, while holding onto them tightly is perseverance.

Putting it down means letting the chopsticks rest in your palm.

Neither hold on tightly nor discard it, but let everything take its course.

Because if you don't hold on tightly, you won't suffer; if you don't throw it away, you won't develop greed for it and think about picking it up again. Just leave it there, let others take it as they please...

People in this world should live their lives as if they were holding chopsticks.

They always want too much, want to control too much, and are too greedy and insatiable.

They don't understand what contentment is, nor do they understand what letting go is.

Some people let go, but mistakenly believe that 'giving up' is the same as letting go, which is not the case.

They only temporarily let go of their current troubles and think they have let go, but with three thousand troubles, they crave other things and other objects, wanting what they don't want, and their troubles never stop.

This is true of all things in the world, including emotions.

To truly let go means to accept everything that happens, to accept its arrival, and to accept its departure. All forms are illusory. Let go of your attachments, face them, and resolve them. In the process, you will naturally learn how to let go.

Jiang Xiyu thought about it and then followed suit, mentioning the same thing to Shijia, and using the Dharma Master's words of comfort, her tone sincere from the bottom of her heart: "Dharma Master, life is impermanent, and we should treat it with a calm mind. Do not let enlightenment bind you and give rise to ego."

"Although I don't know why you can't understand, sometimes letting go is also a form of enlightenment, isn't it?"

"There are many troubles in the world, and you have lived on the lotus throne for a long time, so you may not have experienced them."

"Just as the Dharma Master said, the Buddha's teachings are in the world. Your loss of your magical powers this time may be an opportunity for you to understand the world. I believe the Dharma Master will surely be able to see through it..."

In truth, worldly wisdom is often insufficient to truly understand the Buddha's teachings.

Even the most learned monks in the human realm may not be as insightful as Shika.

But at this moment he lost his magic and became a mortal.

Jiang Xiyu then used these worldly principles to explain things to Shijia.

The reason he dared to say this was simply because he believed that once Shiga's golden body returned, these difficult-to-understand things would all be easily resolved.

He offered this comfort only because he couldn't bear to see him frowning, or to see him burdened with worries and unable to find peace of mind.

He was so devout and sincere, it seemed he was really afraid that this would cause him any distress.

Shiga's gaze lingered on his handsome face, staring blankly into his eyes for a long time. Suddenly, after hearing those comforting words, his expression seemed to be moved for a moment.

His eyes, which had been as withered as dead wood, now held a trace of compassionate vitality in his words.

The emotions that had been troubling him and lingering in his heart for days seemed to part like clouds and reveal the clear light after Jiang Xiyu's example and explanation.

Shiga understood the reasoning behind his words.

Perhaps he's right; everything is predestined.

Their meeting was predestined, and although they will eventually part ways, it is only because their fate has come to an end.

During this time, he was truly by my side.

He had his companionship, and that was enough for him for the next ten thousand years.

We should not avoid it; avoiding it only intensifies our greed.

He should learn to accept it, accept his feelings for him, accept their shallow fate. Whether it comes or goes, let it be as it may, let it be as it may.

Therefore, those hidden and struggling emotions concealed beneath the still waters, finally unbound, arose with the swaying of the blue lotus.
