Lin Wan’er (ni)’s remarks put Charlie Wade on high alert.
Curious, he asked her, “Do you believe there’s an issue with her identity?”
Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded subtly but decisively, stating, “The Nu family has previously interacted with several aplished individuals in Buddhism. One thing they all share is a strict adherence to the Dharma. They constantly reference scriptures and let the wisdom of the Dharma guide their daily actions and speech. In simpler terms, they always ensure their words align with Buddhist teachings. However, that master’s wife hardly mentions Buddhism beyond saying Amitabha, leading me to suspect she might not be a genuine master.”
Charlie Wade’s expression shifted as he responded, “If she’s not a true nun, it means she’s pretending. Whether she’s an ally or an adversary, it’s obvious there’s another force linked to her outside of the Po Qing Society.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded seriously, adding, “But you don’t need to worry too much, Master. The Nu family feels confident that they aren’t enemies and likely have a conflict with Po Qing. The enemies of our enemies can be friends, but they still seem cautious of us, possibly for reasons we don’t yet understand. It may not be convenient for us to know their true identities for now.” Charlie Wade paused for a moment, pondering her words before asking, “What did she mention about Greek mythology?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">
Lin Wan’er (ni) wanted to keep Charlie Wade from uncovering too much, so she replied, “She merely shared the story of Achilles. Even if she is formidable, she won’t be able to guess the underlying clues.”
Charlie Wade, resolute, said, “Let’s head back and investigate!”
Lin Wan’er was taken aback. “Master, are you intending to visit Qingzhao Nunnery?”
“Yes!” Charlie Wade affirmed. “I want to uncover who they are, how they know so much about us, and why they’re masquerading as nuns while waiting for us here. Initially, they imed the nunnery was a significant Buddhist site and wouldn’t permit me entry, which I respected. But now, it seems likely they aren’t Buddhists at all, so it’s best we confront them directly.”
“This…” Lin Wan’er (ni) hesitated momentarily before agreeing, “Sir, if you wish to see what unfolds, I will apany you. However, you must remain cautious to avoid turning potential allies into enemies.”
Charlie Wade nodded in understanding. “I just want to rify who they are. If we truly can be allies due to a shared enemy, we must be open with one another. It would be shameful to keep secrets.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) concurred with Charlie Wade’s perspective. Since the other party was already aware of their identities and backgrounds, the fact that they concealed their true selves was indeed unsettling. Therefore, the two turned back, heading down the mountain toward Qingzhao Nunnery.<fna194> For original chapters go to FιndNovel</fna194>
After navigating through the Y-shaped intersection, Charlie Wade and Lin Wan’er (ni) continued their ascent. Midway up, Charlie Wade frowned and remarked, “There’s no one at Qingzhao Nunnery anymore.”
“What?” Lin Wan’er (ni) reacted with surprise. “Did you use your spiritual energy to check?”
“Yes,” Charlie Wade confirmed. “There’s no one left. They’ve probably departed.”
“This…” Lin Wan’er (ni) furrowed her brow. “When I left just now, I looked back several times, but I didn’t see anyone descending the mountain…”
After Charlie Wade expended more spiritual energy to investigate, he noted, “There’s a path behind the mountain.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) expressed frustration. “It’s all my fault. If only I’d thought of this sooner…”
Charlie Wade offered a reassuring smile. “It’s fine. Since everyone’s gone, let’s go up and take a look. We might discover some clues.”
Lin Wan’er (ni) quickly inquired, “Should we have Lao Sun help check? They might have left some surveince information in nearby towns.”
Charlie Wade shrugged. “We can try, but I doubt we’ll find much. These individuals are quite different from Sara. Sara is inherently suspicious. This trip to Shiwandashan…”<h3 ss="wp-block-heading has-text-align-center" id="chapter-list"><strong></strong>
