Yu Qingtan accepted Venerable Hui Ming's parting gift, and although she coveted the resources for Buddhist cultivation, she was clear that her path differed from that of the Buddhist Sect.
She looked at Monk Hui Ming with gratitude, nodded slightly, a gesture of farewell.
Venerable Hui Ming, seeing her accept the gift, cracked a faint smile. He brought his palms together and bowed slightly saying, "Amitabha, may the lady donor's future be as splendid as brocade. This humble monk looks forward to meeting the lady donor again in the Western Regions before long."
Yu Qingtan nodded, not saying more, and turned to continue her leisurely walk.
Venerable Hui Ming watched her departing figure, a glint of sharpness flashing in his eyes, and a barely discernible smile on his face.
