In other words, over the past two years, Sara has be more anxious than she has ever been before. For decades, aging had never bothered her; after all, her appearance had remained unchanged for centuries. However, recently, she started to take skin care seriously. On asions, as I walked past her, I could catch a whiff of her skin care products, leading me to think that perhaps she was starting to fear the effects of aging.


    Lin Wan’er (ni) scoffed, “What’s meant to happen will happen, so what’s the point of being afraid?”


    After saying that, she redirected her focus back to the painting before her and suddenly grasped Charlie Wade’s intention.


    Her eyes widened with excitement as she eximed, “Master… are you nning to have Master sing ‘Empty City Strategies’ for you?”


    Charlie Wade noticed Lin Wan’er’s (ni) perceptiveness and couldn’t help but respond with enthusiasm, “Miss Lin, you’ve hit the nail on the head! I’m indeed hoping for Old Ancestor Meng to perform ‘Empty City Strategies’ for me!” Yun Ruge, feeling a bit lost in their conversation, asked with urgency, “Mr. Charlie, what do you and Ms. Lin mean? Isn’t Old Ancestor Meng long gone? How can you expect him to sing for you?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie Wade turned to Meng Changsheng’s image in the painting and inquired of Yun Ruge, “Miss Yun, why do you think Sara sent the three elders to Aurous Hill?”


    Yun Ruge replied uncertainly, “The An family is safe, but Sara doesn’t know who her enemies are, how many there might be, or even if they are still alive. She’s clearly trying to gather information, and she must want to continue her aggression against the An family.”


    Charlie Wade nodded, affirming, “That’s correct, Miss Yun. These are the very concerns that are pressing on Sara at the moment.”


    While speaking, Charlie Wade pointed at the figure of Meng in the painting and asked, “Miss Yun, how many people do you think can recognize the person in this painting as Patriarch Meng?”


    Yun Ruge’s eyes widened in realization as she eximed, “Aside from us, I believe there’s only… only Sara!”


    Though Yun Ruge was unaware of the history of Mrs. Jiang’s family, she did know that Meng Changsheng had passed away many years ago, and that Sara was the only one who had known him and still lived on.


    Charlie Wade didn’t delve deeper into the topic. Instead, he nodded and continued, “Since only Sara knows Old Ancestor Meng apart from us, if this painting were to surface in Aurous Hill tomorrow, what do you think would happen when she sees it?”


    Yun Ruge gasped, “Then she… she might bepletely stunned! She probably thinks she is the only person left in the world who has met Patriarch Meng. If his portrait suddenly appears in Aurous Hill, wouldn’t she rush over immediately?”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) chuckled, “Miss Yun, you’re worrying too much. If this painting were to emerge in Aurous Hill, Sara might actually be too scared toe.”


    Yun Ruge looked puzzled, “Why? This is her master’s portrait. After hundreds of years, wouldn’t she want to know who created it and how it came to light?”


    Lin Wan’er (ni)ughed and replied, “Of course she would want to know, but I fear she would be left scratching her head in confusion! The more she desires to uncover the truth, the more hesitant she would be to show up in Aurous Hill!” After that, Lin Wan’er turned to Charlie Wade, her admiration evident. “Sir, your wisdom is truly remarkable! Once this painting is revealed in Aurous Hill, I fear it will send Sara into a frenzy!”<fn5f30> Read full story at f?ndnovel</fn5f30>


    Charlie nodded and smiled at the doctor, saying, “What a coincidence! Aurous Hill is currently hosting a calligraphy and painting exhibition, gathering exceptional works from across the nation, creating a buzz in the media.”


    “Even though this painting doesn’t have the artist’s name attached, its remarkable quality and extraordinary artistic conception make it stand out. From an artistic perspective, it rivals the works of renowned painters in Chinese history. Therefore, if this painting is showcased, it’s bound to create quite a stir in the artmunity.”
