Chapter 2837

~8 min read 1,477 words

Lin Wan'er probably guessed the meaning of the old nun's words, so she asked: "Is the Master saying that whether his old master can be reborn depends entirely on Young Master Ye?"

The old nun said noncommittally: "This poor nun has already said too much. For some questions, please ask Miss Lin to digest them yourself. However, remember that you must not let Mr. Ye know about these things."

Seeing that she was unwilling to say more, Lin Wan'er hurriedly asked: "I wonder if the Master has any other instructions?"

"No." The old nun put her hands together and said respectfully: "I have long heard of Miss Lin's great name. Seeing you today can be considered fulfilling a wish of this poor nun. Mr. Ye is still waiting at the foot of the mountain. Miss Lin should go down the mountain earlier and persuade him to return to Jin Ling."

Seeing that the old nun wanted to see her off, Lin Wan'er was still a little unwilling to give up and hurriedly asked again: "Master, what should Young Master Ye do next? If he cannot go forward today, this young woman is afraid that Young Master Ye will fall into trouble. Please tell me where Young Master Ye should go in the future!"

The old nun's expression became very struggling for a moment. After hesitating for a long time, she said: "Please ask Miss Lin to urge Mr. Ye to find an opportunity to open the Niwan Palace as soon as possible. Only by opening the Niwan Palace can he barely fight Wu Feiyan."

Lin Wan'er was becoming more and more unable to guess the old nun's identity. She really couldn't understand why Ye Chen was so low-key and hid his identity so well, yet this old nun seemed to know him like the back of her hand, and even knew clearly that Ye Chen had not opened the Niwan Palace.

Lin Wan'er wanted to ask her some more questions, but the old nun had already pushed open the gate of the main hall and shouted to the outside: "Jingchen, see the guests out."

The young nun who brought Lin Wan'er here walked out from the side hall and said respectfully to Lin Wan'er: "Please follow me out, Miss Lin."

Lin Wan'er was helpless and could only nod. She looked at the old nun and said: "This young woman thanks the Master for her guidance."

The old nun nodded and smiled slightly, saying: "Amitabha, Miss Lin, take care!"

Lin Wan'er bid farewell to the old nun and walked out of the gate of the Qingzhao Nunnery with the young nun.

The young nun named Jingchen said: "Miss Lin can go down the mountain along the original path. I won't see you off."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said: "Please stay, little master."

Jingchen bowed and saluted Lin Wan'er, and then slowly closed the gate.

Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Chen, who was not even as big as a grain of rice at the foot of the mountain, from afar, waved at him, and seeing that Ye Chen also seemed to be waving at her, she hurriedly walked a few steps and hurried down the mountain.

At the foot of the mountain, Ye Chen had been waiting here for a long time.

Seeing Lin Wan'er walking down, he greeted her a few steps and asked with concern: "Miss Lin, what kind of medicine is in the nun's gourd? What did their abbess ask you to do?"

Lin Wan'er pursed her lips and said: "Young Master, their abbess reminded us that there is danger on the road ahead and wanted to persuade us to turn back."

Ye Chen's expression was full of surprise, and he asked: "Does she know where we are going?"

Lin Wan'er nodded gently and explained: "This servant sees that the old nun is not a bad person. It seems that there must be dangers on the road ahead that we have not thought of..."

As she spoke, she looked at Ye Chen with her eyes and pleaded: "Young Master, let's not continue forward. Let's go back to Jin Ling, okay?"

"Return to Jin Ling?" Ye Chen frowned and said seriously: "We are probably only a few dozen miles away from where Meng Changsheng practiced back then. My parents probably came here back then and took away the Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface from the items he left behind. If I walk these few dozen miles, maybe I can figure out more details about their lives. How can I give up halfway..."

As he spoke, Ye Chen said to Lin Wan'er: "Miss Lin, why don't you go back to the town and wait for me? I'll go by myself!"

"Absolutely not!" Lin Wan'er subconsciously grabbed Ye Chen's hand tightly and pleaded: "Young Master, since we already know that the place where the old master passed away is not far from here, then this trip is not in vain, and it is not giving up halfway. Young Master can return to Jin Ling to continue preparing, and it will not be too late to come again after Young Master's strength has greatly increased!"

Ye Chen said: "Neither of us has figured out the other party's identity. I cannot give up everything I have planned just because of a few words from the other party."

Lin Wan'er said anxiously: "Young Master, someone knows we are coming here and calculated the route in advance to wait here. This proves that the other party knows you and me very well. Even if she has no malicious intent toward us, we have to admit the fact that our identities have been exposed. If we forcibly move forward in this situation, no matter whether she is an enemy or a friend, the situation will probably be extremely unfavorable to us."

Ye Chen was slightly stunned.

Lin Wan'er's words made him start to re-examine this matter again.

As Lin Wan'er said, no matter whether this nun is an enemy or a friend, his exposure is already a fact. Since she knows, it proves that others may also know.

If he insists on continuing forward, not to mention whether he will encounter risks, what if someone else finds out his identity? What if it reaches the ears of the Anti-Qing Society?

Lin Wan'er said again: "Young Master, no matter what is a few dozen miles away, it cannot change the fact that Wu Feiyan is also very wary of it. If even Wu Feiyan is wary of it, why should we go and break in?"

Ye Chen suddenly struggled.

He knew the truth of what Lin Wan'er said very well.

However, when he was finally one step closer to the secret of his parents back then, he really didn't want to give up just like that.

At this time, in the main hall of the Qingzhao Nunnery.

Jingchen returned to the main hall and reported respectfully to the old nun: "Aunt Sun, Lin Wan'er has already left."

The old nun didn't look back and asked: "Did you see her go down the mountain with your own eyes?"

"Yes." Jingchen nodded and said: "After I closed the door, I looked through the crack in the door and saw her go down the mountain before I came back to report to you."

The old nun asked again: "What are the two of them doing?"

"Talking." Jingchen replied: "The two have been talking on the spot, but there is no preparation to set off for the time being."

The old nun nodded slightly and said: "You guard here, I will go and report to the Madam."

After saying this, without waiting for Jingchen to answer, she walked quickly toward the back of the main hall.

There was another door directly behind the main hall. Generally speaking, this kind of place in a temple is no longer open to pilgrims and is mostly for the use of monks and nuns.

The old nun stopped outside the door, knocked on the door gently, and said respectfully: "Madam, Lin Wan'er has left."

In the room, a pleasant and somewhat majestic woman's voice came: "Have they returned?"

The old nun replied: "Not yet. The two of them seem to be still talking at the intersection at the foot of the mountain. It is not certain whether they will give up for the time being."

The woman inside smiled and said: "There shouldn't be any problem."

As she spoke, the woman added: "By the way, hurry up and organize everyone to pack up. We should go. That Lin Wan'er is as smart as a demon. I think she was too worried just now and ignored some details. I believe it won't be long before they should come back. Notify everyone, absolutely do not leave any clues here."

The old nun said respectfully: "Okay, Madam!"
