"Chan'er, my little master, did you already know that Jiang Liu was a transformed Buddha Bead?" Lu Huaming asked, looking at the string of purple Buddha beads.
"Jiang Liu told me." Chan'er nodded.
"Then why didn't you reveal him to the abbot, yet you preached for him?" Lu Huaming asked, wide-eyed, his face full of incomprehension.
"I believe all beings are equal. Why should there be any distinction between truth and deception? As long as it's for the welfare of the people, preaching on his behalf is fine. If I can use this opportunity to convert Jiang Liu, then that's even better," said Chan'er sincerely.
Lu Huaming, having heard this, found it both amusing and a bit exasperating - this young monk was simply too naive.
