Chapter 2838

At this time, at the foot of the Qingzhao Nunnery.

Ye Chen still had not made the decision to give up the trip.

If he left just like this, he would indeed be unwilling.

However, Lin Wan'er's analysis was not unreasonable.

Someone went to great lengths just to remind him. If he still insisted on having his own way, it would be a bit too arrogant.

Thinking of the word arrogant, Ye Chen suddenly realized that his current strength was actually far from enough in the face of the unknown.

After pondering for a moment, Ye Chen smiled bitterly and said frankly: "That Master should be right. My strength is not even as good as Wu Feiyan's, so I shouldn't be too arrogant. Moreover, that Master can know your and my information and movements, so she must not be an ordinary person."

As he spoke, Ye Chen looked at Lin Wan'er and said seriously: "Miss Lin is smarter than me, many problems are deeper than I think, and she sees through them better than I do. Since you also persuade me to stop, then I will listen to advice, eat my fill, and turn back to Jin Ling."

The nervous Lin Wan'er finally breathed a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Ye Chen would be stubborn and hold on to a goal no matter what others said.

Now that Ye Chen relented to go back, she was naturally relieved.

Thus, like a high-EQ girl coaxing her immature boyfriend, she took his arm and said with a smile: "Although the Young Master stopped here today, it is not stopping forever. It is just arriving here first, going back to rest well, and coming again at a better time after being fully prepared. Didn't the experts often say that this is called a strategic retreat?"

Ye Chen couldn't help but say somewhat dejectedly: "A retreat is a retreat. How can there be such a thing as a strategic retreat?"

Lin Wan'er looked at him and asked with a smile: "The Young Master must have never climbed Mount Everest or K2, right?"

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Never climbed them. How about you?"

Lin Wan'er giggled and said proudly: "This servant has climbed them, and more than once."

As she spoke, she narrated: "Several decades ago, when mountaineering equipment was still very rudimentary, people climbing Mount Everest and K2 was very difficult, especially K2. People tried for more than fifty years but failed to reach the summit. Countless efforts turned back halfway, but fortunately, in these fifty years, there were always people who could push that turning point to a higher place, until finally successfully reaching the summit."

Lin Wan'er looked at Ye Chen and said with a smile: "Regardless of whether the old master is still alive, with his cultivation more than three hundred years ago, he should be the strongest among all the cultivators the Young Master currently knows, right?"

Ye Chen nodded: "Within the scope of what I know, Meng Changsheng is first, and Wu Feiyan is second."

"That's it." Lin Wan'er, who was holding Ye Chen's arm, pulled Ye Chen's arm downward with a coquettish force, smiled, and said shyly: "The Young Master just needs to regard them as Mount Everest and K2 in his heart. Today, this Qingzhao Nunnery is the end point of the first summit attempt. Next time, treat this place as the base camp for the summit attempt, push forward step by step, and there will eventually be a day of success."

Ye Chen sighed softly and nodded: "It can only be like this."

Seeing that Ye Chen was finally somewhat relieved, Lin Wan'er felt much more at ease.

At this moment, she was like a young woman who had just married in ancient times, with only her "husband" in her eyes. Her "husband" was everything to her. If her "husband" was happy, she wouldn't feel bitter even if she ate chaff and vegetables, but if her "husband" was unhappy, even mountain delicacies would make her feel like she was chewing wax.

She was most afraid that Ye Chen wouldn't know how to retreat. Now it seemed that although Ye Chen was more or less unwilling, he had at least accepted the Master's suggestion.

Although he could still see some depression left, she would leave this depression to herself to properly enlighten and comfort.

Thus, she took Ye Chen, pulled Ye Chen, and turned to walk on the path they had come from.

Ye Chen walked with his head down, and Lin Wan'er by his side tried to find ways to ease his mood, asking him with a face full of expectation: "Does the Young Master think that the Mother of Pu'er Tea has grown up in the past two days and has grown more leaves?"

Ye Chen said casually: "It should have grown a bit. As for the leaves, it shouldn't be a problem to sprout three or five more tender buds."

Lin Wan'er said with a smile: "Then after we go back, this servant will pick the newly sprouted tender buds, kill the green, and brew them for the Young Master to taste."

Ye Chen asked curiously: "Isn't the production process of Pu'er tea very troublesome? After processing, it still needs to be stored and fermented, right?"

Lin Wan'er smiled and said: "Actually, you can drink it after killing the green, but it lacks that fermented taste, but it also has a unique fresh and soft flavor. Generally speaking, only freshly picked tea leaves can be killed immediately, and the requirements for freshness and time are very harsh, so most people don't have the opportunity to taste it."

Ye Chen asked her with a smile: "Aren't you very precious about the leaves of the Mother of Pu'er Tea? Why are you so generous now?"

Lin Wan'er smiled shyly and said softly: "The Mother of Pu'er Tea has such strong vitality, picking a little bit shouldn't be a problem. Isn't this the Young Master's own words?"

Ye Chen knew that Lin Wan'er wanted to coax him to be happy, but he wouldn't be troubled by this matter all the time, so he smiled and said: "Let the Mother of Pu'er Tea grow its leaves well. If you pick too many, you might not be able to sleep."

Lin Wan'er shook her head and said earnestly: "As long as the Young Master is happy, this servant has nothing to be reluctant about."

Ye Chen smiled knowingly and nodded slightly. He knew Lin Wan'er's intention and was also somewhat moved. He always felt that a grown man still needing a little girl to coax him around was really a bit shameful, so he said to her: "By the way, Miss Lin, Wu Feiyan shouldn't dare to touch China again for a short time. There certainly won't be any risks in the future. What are your plans next?"

Seeing that Ye Chen had changed the subject, Lin Wan'er smiled and said: "This servant plans to go back to school to study, but I will apply for a day student status, take care of the Mother of Pu'er Tea at Zijin Villa every day, and another thing is that I may need to ask Old Qiu to prepare a plane, and go to Erlang Mountain in Southern Yunnan on weekends to take care of the tea garden there."

Ye Chen smiled: "That must be very busy."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said earnestly: "It's better to be busy. Actually, this servant hasn't been this busy for many years. In the past, I was always worried about being caught by Wu Feiyan, so I didn't dare to run around. In recent years, I have been staying at home all day. Besides playing with some porcelain, writing, and painting, I almost couldn't do anything. I wanted to raise a small and cute Jersey cow but didn't have time. In the future, Wu Feiyan's oppressive feeling should relax, and it's just right to be more busy."

Seeing Lin Wan'er's expectant look, Ye Chen couldn't help but feel relieved for her.

Ye Chen knew that for this little girl who had lived for more than three hundred years, the next period of time might be the period with the least pressure for her besides her childhood. For her, even if she was busy, she would definitely be happier.

Thinking of this, he felt that this trip to Southern Yunnan was not in vain, and his mood eased a bit more.

The two walked along the path they had come from, climbing up the second mountain they had come from step by step. When they climbed more than halfway, the altitude had already exceeded the mountain peak where the Qingzhao Nunnery was located. Lin Wan'er suddenly stopped, turned around, and looked at the Qingzhao Nunnery in the distance with some absent-mindedness, as if thinking about something.

Seeing her stop and look back with a thoughtful look, Ye Chen asked her: "What is Miss Lin thinking about?"

Lin Wan'er frowned slightly and muttered softly: "This servant is thinking that the Master talked to this servant about Wu Feiyan and the Anti-Qing Society, talked about hatred, talked about fate, and even talked about an ancient Greek myth, but... but..."

Ye Chen asked: "But what?"

Lin Wan'er pursed her lips, her voice became a bit louder, and she said with some doubt: "But she was the only one who never talked to this servant about Buddhism..."
