Two decadester, it was the first asion I shared a meal with my grandparents and their family. However, I hadn’t eaten yet, and Charlie sensed that his mind was racing, feeling overwhelmed.


    He chose not to disclose to his grandparents and Li Yalin that he hade into possession of the “Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures.” So far, he had only confided in Lin Waner about this secret. This was not merely because Lin Waner had also revealed to him that she had lived for nearly four hundred years. More importantly, he felt a deep connection with Lin Waner (ni) that made their bond feel quite special, almost as if they were kindred spirits.


    In that moment, Charlie’s only desire was to meet Lin Waner (ni) as soon as possible.


    Subconsciously, he believed that she was the only one he could share his feelings about the ascending dragon’s fate, as well as the “Preface to the Nine Mysterious Scriptures” and the “Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures.”


    Even if Lin Waner (ni) was unaware of the secret, Charlie felt she was an exceptional person to confide in, someone he could open up to about his inner uncertainties.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Although he never openly expressed it, ever since he shared his deepest secret with Lin Waner (ni) in her courtyard, he experienced an unparalleled sense of relief.


    Despite having only met a few times, they already regarded each other as the most trustworthy confidants.


    At that moment, An Qishan, the elder, noticed Charlie’s difort and quickly shifted the conversation. “Charlie, I just introduced you to your uncle. Now, let me introduce you to your other two uncles and aunts.”


    He gestured towards Hom, saying, “Charlie, this is your second uncle, Hom. Your second uncle is in charge.”


    Charlie smiled at Hom, saying, “Hello, Second Uncle.”


    Hom stepped forward to embrace Charlie, eximing, “Charlie, from now on, the An family will be your home. If you need anything—money or help—just ask!”


    Charlie nodded appreciatively, and then An Qishan introduced Olin. “Charlie, this is your third uncle, Olin.”


    Charlie looked at his third uncle and greeted him, “Hello, Third Uncle.”


    Olin approached and hugged Charlie gently, sighing deeply, “Charlie, your third uncle is really grateful to you for what you did in New York. If it weren’t for you, I would have gone blind and possibly harmed the entire An family…”


    Charlie ced a reassuring hand on Olin’s upper arm, saying earnestly, “Don’t worry about it, Third Uncle. You were the biggest victim in this situation.”


    Upon hearing this, Olin let out a long sigh.


    His wife, who had shared his life for over a decade, turned out to be a hidden enemy, nearly causing his demise and endangering his loved ones. It was clear that Olin was deeply affected by this betrayal.


    Noticing Olin’s mncholy, An Qishan tried tofort him, saying, “Olin, Charlie is right. You were the most affected by Liqin’s incident, so don’t hold onto that guilt.”


    Olin nodded slightly, replying softly, “I understand, Dad…”<fnb33e> This text is hosted at find[?]ovel</fnb33e>


    With that, An Qishan moved on to introduce Charlie’s aunt. “Charlie, this is your aunt Tablita. Thest time you visited America with your mother, she was still a young girl, and she was always your mother’s favorite.”


    Charlie greeted her politely, “Hello, Auntie.”


    Tablita’s eyes filled with tears as she approached Charlie and embraced him, her voice choked with emotion. “Auntie has waited so many years for this moment. Finally, our Charlie has returned! You’ve grown up and achieved so much. Your parents would be so proud…”
