Chapter 2839

Lin Wan'er's words also made Ye Chen somewhat vigilant.

He couldn't help but ask Lin Wan'er: "Do you think there is a problem with her identity?"

Lin Wan'er nodded gently and said firmly: "This servant has also come into contact with some masters who have made great achievements in Buddhism in the past. These people have a common characteristic, which is that they strictly restrain themselves with Buddhism, and often cite classics, using the wisdom in Buddhism to guide their daily lives and words and deeds. To put it plainly, even in their daily lives, they don't leave Buddhism in three sentences. But that Master, except for Amitabha, rarely mentions Buddhism. So this servant suddenly feels that she may not be a real nun."

Ye Chen suddenly became vigilant and said: "If she is not a real nun, then she is pretending to be a nun and waiting for us here. No matter whether she is an enemy or a friend, behind her, there must be another force besides the Anti-Qing Society."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said earnestly: "But the Young Master doesn't need to worry too much. This servant feels that they are definitely not enemies, and in all likelihood, they should also have hatred for the Anti-Qing Society. The enemy of an enemy is a friend. It's just that they are still a bit vigilant toward us, or there are other reasons, and it is inconvenient for us to know their true identities for the time being."

Ye Chen was silent for a moment and asked Lin Wan'er: "What Greek myth did she talk about?"

Lin Wan'er didn't want Ye Chen to know too much, so as not to guess the clues, so she said: "She just used the story of Achilles to tell me that even if one is very strong, one may be doomed if one is not careful."

Ye Chen didn't think much and said with a firm expression: "Let's go back and see!"

Lin Wan'er asked in surprise: "Is the Young Master planning to go to the Qingzhao Nunnery to take a look?"

"Yes!" Ye Chen nodded and said: "I want to know who they are, why they know everything about us, and why they painstakingly pretended to be nuns and waited for us here. Originally, they said it was a place of Buddhism and wouldn't let me in, so I should naturally respect it. But now it seems that they are likely not people of Buddhism at all. Then it's better to go in and ask clearly."

"This..." Lin Wan'er hesitated for a moment and nodded: "Since the Young Master wants to see what's going on, this servant will accompany the Young Master. But the Young Master must not be impulsive, so as not to turn friends into enemies."

Ye Chen nodded: "I just want to know who they are. If everyone can really become friends because of a common enemy, at least we must be honest with each other. Being secretive is really not decent."

Lin Wan'er also agreed with Ye Chen's point of view. The other party already knew her and Ye Chen's identity and background, but they were still hiding their true identities, which really made people feel uncomfortable.

Thus, the two turned around and went down the mountain again, heading straight for the Qingzhao Nunnery.

After passing the Y-shaped intersection, Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er went all the way up. When they reached halfway, Ye Chen frowned and said: "There is no one in the Qingzhao Nunnery anymore."

"Ah?" Lin Wan'er asked in surprise: "Did the Young Master check with spiritual energy?"

"Yes." Ye Chen nodded and said: "There is no one left. I guess they have already left."

"This..." Lin Wan'er frowned and said: "When I left just now, I looked back repeatedly and didn't see anyone go down the mountain..."

After Ye Chen released more spiritual energy to investigate, he said: "There is another small path behind the mountain."

Lin Wan'er said with some annoyance: "It's all this servant's fault. If this servant had thought of this earlier..."

Ye Chen smiled calmly and comforted: "It's okay. Since everyone is gone, let's go up and take a look. Maybe we can leave some clues."

Lin Wan'er asked hurriedly: "Should we ask Old Sun to help check? These people might leave monitoring information in the nearby townships."

Ye Chen shrugged: "We can try, but I feel there shouldn't be any harvest. These people are different from Wu Feiyan. Wu Feiyan is suspicious by nature, and this time she came to the Ten Thousand Great Mountains alone. In this case, it is difficult to take care of everything. But they look different at a glance. They are not only acting as a team but also prepared in advance. In this case, they shouldn't leave any clues for us."

"That's true..." Lin Wan'er sighed and said: "It seems they guessed in advance that we were coming here, so they prepared in the Qingzhao Nunnery in advance."

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er remembered something and said: "We can find out about the situation of the Qingzhao Nunnery from the locals. Maybe we can find some clues."

"Okay." Ye Chen nodded and said: "Let's go up and take a look first."

When the two arrived outside the main gate of the Qingzhao Nunnery, the gate was already closed.

However, Ye Chen stepped forward and pushed gently, and the gate opened with a creak.

Ye Chen stepped in, looked at the thick wooden door bolt behind the gate, and frowned: "It seems they knew we were coming and specifically left the door for us."

Lin Wan'er's expression was somewhat horrified, and she muttered: "This is calculating every step of ours..."

"Yes." Ye Chen smiled self-deprecatingly and said: "I thought I was hiding very deeply, but it turned out that people knew everything, and the key is that they could calculate everything. I really can't figure it out."

Lin Wan'er also said somewhat dejectedly: "This servant has not had any cultivation for more than three hundred years and has always been proud of her brain. Now it seems that she is not as good as them."

Ye Chen smiled: "This is normal. Two fists are hard to beat with four hands, not to mention that there may be a huge organization behind them. With so many people working together, can they not calculate us two?"

Lin Wan'er sighed and said: "Wu Feiyan hasn't found this servant for three hundred years, so these people may not be as strong as the Anti-Qing Society, but the people behind them must be smarter than Wu Feiyan and me."

Ye Chen comforted: "Fortunately, it is unlikely that they are enemies. If we can become friends in the future, it should be of great help to us."

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly, but it could be seen that she was still somewhat hit.

Ye Chen changed the subject and said to her: "Let's go in and take a look."

"Okay." Lin Wan'er responded and followed Ye Chen in.

The Qingzhao Nunnery was not big.

There were two courtyards in total, one in the front and one in the back.

On both sides of the front courtyard were side halls, in the middle was the main hall, and behind the main hall was a small courtyard with three tiled rooms.

Ye Chen and Lin Wan'er first looked at the side halls on both sides. In the side halls, except for the Buddha statues worshipped, there was nothing special.

The main hall was different. The eternal lamps were still burning, and in the incense burner, three sticks of sandalwood incense were almost burned to the roots.

Ye Chen looked at the incense burner and estimated the length of the incense ash, and said: "These three sticks of sandalwood incense seem to be very long. They have been burning for about an hour or more."

Lin Wan'er calculated the time and said: "From the time this servant left the mountain, to the time this servant saw the Young Master and explained everything to the Young Master, plus the Young Master and this servant going up the mountain and then turning back, it has indeed been an hour."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "Then these three sticks of incense were lit from the moment you went out."

As he spoke, Ye Chen closed his eyes, sniffed the scent of the sandalwood incense carefully, and sighed: "This sandalwood incense smells really good, better than any sandalwood incense I have ever smelled!"

Lin Wan'er agreed and said: "This servant was just about to say... This sandalwood incense is indeed very good. This servant can also be considered a person who loves tea and incense, but the best old mountain sandalwood this servant has come into contact with does not have the scent of this sandalwood incense. The fragrance is rich, deep, and slightly sweet."

Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: "It seems that every step of ours is indeed in their calculations. They must have calculated that you would notice the abnormality, and also calculated that we would turn back. These three sticks of incense should be lit for us."
