Fang Zhen's forceful hypnotism was indiscriminate, and as a result, Tahar, who was listening from the back, was left red-faced and agitated, scratching his head like a restless monkey.
Tahar felt that in Fang Zhen, he had found a guide for his very soul. His heart pounded with excitement as he listened, and he was on the verge of prostrating himself in total submission.
Tahar felt as if he had wasted the last several decades of his life. He now realized that life held so much more meaning and such bright prospects; it wasn't just about living from one day to the next, mired in mediocrity over trivial, worldly affairs.
In Tahar's mind, Fang Zhen wasn't pointing toward simple benefits or tedious practical matters, but toward the very direction of life itself—a higher truth.
Having come to this realization, Tahar was completely in awe of Fang Zhen.
Matthew and Agatha were also listening with flushed faces—not from embarrassment, but from sheer excitement.
