The Master had never told a lie with his eyes open in his life, and of course, he wouldn't break his vow because of Ouyang Yi.
But looking up at Ouyang Yi's expectant gaze, he suddenly became hesitant again.
He had known Ouyang Yi for eighteen years.
He knew the pain that Ouyang Yi had kept hidden in his heart over these years.
Ouyang Yi, to the outside observer, looked rough and tough, not like a good person at all.
But in reality, he had a very soft heart.
Over these eighteen years, not only had he sincerely worshiped Buddha, but he had also made significant contributions to scientific research and had done many good deeds anonymously.
A person like him should receive good karma.
So, the Master, holding his Buddha beads, smiled and said, "Donor Ouyang is correct, your daughter does indeed look exactly like you."
Amitabha.
May Buddha forgive him.
This was a well-intentioned lie.
Ouyang Yi was very pleased with the Master's affirmation.
