Sara was in disbelief; after living for four centuries, she never expected to see the name Meng Changsheng (Willie) again!


    This was her master, who had passed away over three hundred years ago and had soared westward like a crane!


    With trembling hands, she quickly grabbed her phone again and tapped on the notification.


    The screen instantly switched to a short video app, opening and automatically ying a video from the Painting and Calligraphy Association!


    In the footage, Meng Changsheng (Willie) stood at the edge of a cliff, his long hair and white beard flowing in the wind, dressed in Taoist robes. He looked extraordinary andmanded respect.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Sara instinctively covered her mouth, her eyes wide with fear. Overwhelmed with anxiety, she murmured, “How could Master’s portrait be in Aurous Hill… But Master has been gone for over three hundred years. Who could have painted this?!”


    Her heart raced painfully, and she thought, “This painting must have been created before Master passed away…” Just then, a voiceover from the video began, “Experts from the Aurous Hill Painting and Calligraphy Association have appraised this work. The materials—silk cloth and paint—are consistent with Tang Dynasty painting. However, the artist’s skill surpasses that of other painters from the Tang era. This style is a notable gap in the realm of domestic painting and calligraphy.”


    Sara’s terror intensified upon hearing this!


    Nervously, she spoke to herself, “This isn’t just any painting—it’s from the Tang Dynasty?! Could it be that it was created by one of Master’s disciples from the first five hundred years?! But why has this painting surfaced in Aurous Hill? And why today? Uncle Willie was killed in an explosion just yesterday, and 2nd Uncle vanished too. Now, a portrait of Master suddenly appears…” Suddenly, a realization struck her, and she gasped in panic, “Oh no! That person knows who I am! They must have uncovered my true identity and everything about me, and they revealed Master’s portrait as a warning…”


    Overwhelmed with emotion, Sara shouted, “Who are you?! If you were among Master’s first disciples from five hundred years ago, then you must be nearly a thousand years old! Have you… Have you taken the Hundred Turns Thousand Returns Pill?!”


    If that were true, she thought, there should be no conflict between them. After all, she studied under the same teacher. “Why target me relentlessly? Are you connected to the An family?!”


    “If you are associated with the An family, just tell me! I’ll back off and won’t pursue them or seek the secret of longevity anymore. But why do you lurk in the shadows and keeping after me?!”


    At this point, Sara felt utterly defeated!<fn2002> Th? link to the orig?n of this information r?sts ?n Find_Novel(.</fn2002>


    For years, she had kept her identity a closely guarded secret, terrified that the world might discover she had lived for three or four centuries.


    But now, seeing Master’s portrait pop up in Aurous Hill felt like someone had stripped away her protective veil, leaving herpletely exposed!


    In a frenzy, she cried out, “And how did you learn my identity?! Did you know everything about me already, or did you get the information from Uncle Willie and 2nd Uncle? I need to know how powerful you are to withstand Willie’s self-destruction!”


    “And are you threatening me by showcasing Master’s portrait right now?!”<h3 ss="has-text-align-center wp-block-heading" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
