New Buddha

Wang Wei indicated with his hand for Feng Heng to sit down. The tea was already brewed, so he directly served it.

"You should be busy, so why are you here to see me?"

"I've come for myriad reasons, the first of which is to offer my sincere thanks to the benefactor," replied Feng Heng, his voice containing his deepest sincerity.

"I'm only repaying my karma. Now, I don't owe anything to Buddhism."

Feng Heng nodded as he knew Wang Wei's relationship with their religion was complicated. Personally, he also did not want to get to the bottom of things since it might involve Mother Maitreya.

"As per our agreement, this poor monk is here to offer your share of the merit," continued Feng Heng, handing Wang Wei a cluster of purple and gold lights. Without hesitation, Wang Wei accepted them.
