Lin Wan’er, also known as ni, seemed to grasp the underlying message of the old nun’s words. She inquired, “Master Tai, are you suggesting that Master Wade’s rebirth is solely dependent on Mr. Wade?” The old nun maintained her ambiguous stance.
She replied, “The poor nun has perhaps shared too much. I ask Miss Lin to reflect on these questions. However, it’s crucial that Mr. Wade remains unaware of this information.”
Noticing the old nun’s reluctance to borate further, Lin Wan’er quickly pressed on, “I understand, Master. Are there any other directives?”
“No,” the old nun said, her hands sped together in respect. “I have heard much about Miss Lin, and seeing you today fulfills a wish of this poor nun. Mr. Wade is still waiting at the mountain’s base. It would be wise for you to descend promptly and persuade him to return to Aurous Hill.”<fn5d97> Follow current nov?ls on find?novel</fn5d97>
Lin Wan’er sensed that the old nun was eager to conclude their meeting, yet she felt a pang of reluctance. She hurriedly asked, “Master, what should Mr. Wade do next? If he cannot progress today, I fear he may run into trouble. Please, tell me what direction he should take!”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
The old nun’s expression shifted to one of deep contemtion. After a moment’s hesitation, she advised, “Ms. Lin, please tell Mr. Wade to seek opportunities quickly. He must open the Niwan Pce. Only by doing so can he hope to contend with Sara.”
Lin Wan’er was increasingly puzzled by the old nun’s true identity. She couldn’tprehend why Charlie Wade remained so discreet about his identity, nor could she understand how the old nun seemed to possess such intimate knowledge about him, including the fact that he had yet to open the Niwan Pce.
Though Lin Wan’er yearned to ask more questions, the old nun had already opened the main hall door and called out, “Jing Chen, please see off the guests.”
The young nun, who had brought Lin Wan’er there, stepped out from a side hall and respectfully addressed her, “Miss Lin, please follow me.” With no alternative, Lin Wan’er nodded, nced back at the old nun, and expressed her gratitude, saying, “Thank you, Master. Please offer me your guidance.”
The old nun nodded gently and smiled, “Amitabha, Miss Lin, take care of yourself!”
Lin Wan’er bid farewell to the old nun and followed the young nun out of Qingzhao Nunnery.
As they reached the exit, Jing Chen informed her, “Miss Lin, you can go down the mountain the way you came. I won’t apany you.”
Lin Wan’er nodded and replied, “Thank you, Master, for your kindness.” Jing Chen bowed to her and slowly closed the door behind them.
From a distance, Lin Wan’er spotted Charlie Wade at the foot of the mountain, appearing norger than a speck. She waved at him, and noticing that he seemed to wave back, she hurriedly descended the mountain.
…
At the mountain’s base, Charlie Wade had been waiting for quite some time.
As Lin Wan’er approached, he stepped forward, concern etched on his face. “Miss Lin, what insights did the nun share with you? What did she ask you to do?” Lin Wan’er, biting her lip, responded,
“Young Master, she warned us of dangers ahead and advised us to turn back.”
Charlie Wade appeared taken aback and asked, “Does she know our destination?”
Lin Wan’er nodded slightly, borating, “Look at Master Tai from the Nu family. He is not a bad person. There are likely dangers along our path that we haven’t anticipated…”
As she spoke, she turned to Charlie Wade, her eyes pleading. “Sir, let’s not proceed any further. Can we go back to Aurous Hill?”
“Return to Aurous Hill?” Charlie Wade frowned, his tone serious. “We are probably only a few dozen miles away from where Meng Changsheng practiced. My parents likely came here in the past and took ‘The Nine’ along with the ‘Preface to the Mysterious Sutra.’ If I cover thesest few dozen miles, I might uncover more details about their pasts. I can’t just give up now…”
