Charlie feels a deep sense of gratitude towards Mrs. Jiang, despite having saved the lives of her mother and son.


    This gratitude stems from Mrs. Jiang’s generous gift of her ancestral phoenix bone and rattan bracelet, which she offered without a second thought.


    Initially, Charlie assumed that the elderlydy was unaware of the bracelet’s significance and the rarity of the phoenix bone material. He thought she might not fully appreciate just how precious it was.


    However, after their recent encounter, Charlie realized that Mrs. Jiang actually possessed a keen understanding of the bracelet’s true value.


    Historically, Mason, the Meng Patriarch, had taken a phoenix bone and rattan bracelet from the Jiang family’s ancestors, keeping it close for decades. He even gifted two rejuvenating pills over the years.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Moreover, in his quest for a breakthrough, Mason had promised to help if he ever sought longevity before the Jiang ancestors departed.


    While Mason’s actions were partly a way to repay Fengguteng’s kindness, Charlie suspected that Fengguteng yed a significant role in these events.


    These stories have been passed down through generations in the Jiang family, and Mrs. Jiang is well aware of them.


    Yet, during her time in Mexico, she willingly chose to part with the bracelet as a gesture of gratitude, which left Charlie feeling quite touched.


    Additionally, the phoenix bone vine serves a purpose beyond just refining the twenty reshaping pills. For anyone looking to create high-level pills in the future, the phoenix bone vine is an essential and invaluable resource.


    Understanding this, Charlie resolved to use his own means to ensure that Mrs. Jiang and her son could live their lives without worry.


    With the vis and shops now settled, Charlie felt a sense of relief. Isaac Cameron had also instructed the Wade family’s subordinates in Shudu to discreetly look after Mrs. Jiang and her son.


    Once everything was arranged, Charlie took his leave from Mrs. Jiang. After expressing her heartfelt thanks and seeing them off from themunity, Charlie and Isaac Cameron hurried to Shudu Airport for an overnight flight back to Aurous Hill.<fnd3b2> Content originallyes from Find_Novel(.</fnd3b2>


    During the flight, Isaac Cameron, exhausted from a long day of driving, quickly fell asleep in hisfortable t seat after takeoff. In contrast, Charlie was wide awake and decided to revisit the painting scroll he had brought from Mrs. Jiang.


    As he carefully unfolded the scroll on hisp, the image of Mason, exuding an ethereal elegance, came to life before him. When Charlie first saw this painting in the Jiang family’s old house in Shunan, it had been hung high on the wall under dim lights, and he hadn’t fully appreciated it while listening to Mrs. Jiang recount the past.


    Now, with the reading light on and the painting spread out before him, Charlie was struck by the skill and beauty captured within it.


    He noted that ancient Chinese artists often prioritized charm over realism, and many of the renowned painters were not particrly skilled in realistic portrayals.


    In this moment, Charlie found himself deeply engrossed in the artistry of the painting, reflecting on its significance and the stories woven into its strokes.<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
