When Charlie Wade was overwhelmed with guilt regarding his parents, Lin Wan’er, who sat beside him, felt a whirlwind of emotions as well.


    She revisited the final section of the “Preface to the Nine Mysteries Sutra” and found herself increasingly rmed with each line she read.


    Picking up a piece of paper, she turned to Charlie Wade and said, “Master, this part details how to locate the Hundred Thousand Mountains… It seems your parents must have discovered these mountains based on this information. They uncovered the secret of immortality, which led them to the ‘Nine Mysterious Heavenly Scriptures’…”


    Charlie Wade nodded in agreement, replying, “Uncle Mason mentioned the secret of immortality during our confrontation that day, and all the clues align with your theory.”


    Lin Wan’er’s expression shifted as she asked, “Sir… why does the Nu family always have the impression that the master initiated this grand scheme over three centuries ago?”<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    Charlie Wade inquired, “Are you suggesting that my present circumstances were orchestrated by him more than three hundred years ago?”


    Lin Wan’er nodded emphatically, “Perhaps this has been the longest fishing expedition. Yet, it seems the master’s true target isn’t the young master’s father…”


    Charlie Wade concluded, “His actual target is me…”


    “Exactly…” Lin Wan’er affirmed confidently. “I share the same sentiment! No one knows the master’s origins. He began devising this n in his youth, but it’s clear he isn’t motivated by mere inheritance.”


    Charlie Wade countered, “So what do you believe drove his efforts hundreds of years ago? He himself lived for over three centuries before passing away not long ago…”<fn7d23> N?w ?ovel chapt?rs are published on find?novel</fn7d23>


    Lin Wan’er pondered for a moment before asking, “The Rothschild family, which the young master encountered in the United States, is renowned as the wealthiest family in the world. What do you think Howard values most right now?”


    Charlie Wade replied, “Naturally, he is most concerned about longevity.”


    Following this, Charlie Wade posed another question: “Are you suggesting that Meng Changsheng (Willie) set this trap with longevity in mind?!”


    Lin Wan’er nodded seriously, stating, “My father mentioned that the master possesses an exceptionally weak material and sexual desires. Regardless of whether it was during thete Yuan, Ming, or early Qing dynasties, he had the capability to aspire to the highest echelons of power, yet he remained indifferent to worldly conflicts. His sole focus has always been on attaining immortality.”


    Charlie Wade concurred, “I don’t know much about him, but from some stories I’ve heard, it seems clear he is obsessed with immortality. However, shouldn’t he have died centuries ago?”


    Lin Wan’er replied, “I can’t specte on the master’s life or death, but I am certain that he orchestrated this borate trap because he needs a rising star like the young master to help him realize his immortality goals. It’s likely that he hoped the young master would venture to Shiwandashan and inadvertently walk into his trap. I suspect this is why the master intervened that day, seeking a rational exnation from me to dissuade the young master from proceeding.”


    Lin Wan’er continued, “Regarding this trap, I see two possible scenarios. One possibility is that the trap activates only at a specific time, meaning it only bes relevant while the master is still alive. However, he may not have anticipated that it would take so long to trigger. Until his death, he may not have encountered anyone capable of activating it. In fact, it seems this trap only became functional when your father discovered the ‘Preface to the Nine Mysteries Sutra.’ If this is true, then Shiwandashan may not pose a significant threat to the young master.”
