Chapter 3014

At this moment, Ye Chen looked at the pile of photocopied content of the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface' and couldn't help but sigh: "If our guess is correct, then that fake nun from last time effectively saved my life."

Lin Wan'er nodded lightly, but cupped her chin and muttered: "I feel that the fake nun must have been acting under orders from someone else. The one who truly helped the young master should be the person behind her."

Ye Chen agreed with her point of view, but asked with some confusion: "This person was able to see through Meng Changsheng's elaborate scheme and could stop me at a critical moment; their background must be extraordinary. I just don't understand: since this person is willing to help me and knows my background, why are they unwilling to show their true face? If we met face-to-face, perhaps we could reach a cooperation and fight against the Anti-Qing Alliance together."

Lin Wan'er smiled: "Perhaps everyone has their own secrets to protect. Just like me—if the young master hadn't saved my life and I hadn't been sent here by my father's ring, I would never have revealed my true identity and experiences."

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er added: "However, I can be certain that this person must be observing the young master in the dark. Perhaps when the time is ripe, this person will take the initiative to meet the young master."

Ye Chen nodded and said: "I don't know who Steward Tang has been working for all these years. Ever since he left without saying goodbye in Yanjing last time, I have always felt that he and the fake nun we met in the Ten Thousand Mountains are likely backed by the same person. What makes me feel ashamed is that the other party may have been watching me for many years, yet I know nothing about them."

As he spoke, Ye Chen subconsciously took the agarwood bracelet he had obtained at the nunnery that day out of his pocket. The twenty-eight precious Qinan agarwood beads felt warm and smooth to the touch, and they emitted a refreshing fragrance.

Examining the object, Ye Chen couldn't help but sigh: "Fortunately, the other party is not an enemy. If they cannot show themselves now, perhaps they have their own hidden difficulties."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said: "The Master calculated everything, but he never thought that his scheme, which he had painstakingly planned for hundreds of years, would be blocked by someone and seen through by the young master. As it stands, as long as the young master does not set foot in the Ten Thousand Mountains and does not cultivate the 'Nine Mysteries Heart Technique', he should not be affected by the Master. In that case, the young master's greatest enemies remain the Anti-Qing Alliance and Wu Feiyan."

After saying this, Lin Wan'er asked him: "Then what are the young master's plans next?"

Ye Chen said: "When I met my grandfather in Yanjing, Inspector Li came up with an idea: to screen suspicious enterprises on a global scale and dig out the Anti-Qing Alliance's dead soldier stations one by one to eliminate them. If possible, I want to eliminate the Anti-Qing Alliance's vital strength within two or three years."

As he spoke, Ye Chen synchronized the situation regarding using the AI model to help with the screening with Lin Wan'er.

After listening, Lin Wan'er exclaimed that Li Yalin's criminal investigation thinking was eye-opening, and she also strongly agreed with this method, smiling as she said: "Once this AI model is put into use, the Anti-Qing Alliance's power map across the globe should be located one after another."

Ye Chen thanked her sincerely: "This time, it's all thanks to you. If you hadn't reminded me, I would never have thought of getting an AI model from the Rothschild family. As a modern person, I am not as well-informed or as quick to understand current events as Miss Lin. I am truly ashamed."

Lin Wan'er smiled shyly: "Young master, I have been on the run for over three hundred years, after all. In these three hundred years, what I have cared about most is collecting various information. In the early years, it was reading newspapers; later, it was listening to the radio and watching television. Decades ago, I started paying attention to the internet, and I have long since formed the habit. Every time a new technology emerges in the world, I must figure it out immediately, then analyze and evaluate whether this technology will play a key role in Wu Feiyan finding me. That is why I pay attention to AI."

As she spoke, Lin Wan'er added: "The most critical thing is that the young master completely held the person in charge of the Rothschild family in his grip. Otherwise, in the current environment, wanting to obtain such an AI model would be as difficult as ascending to heaven."

The two chatted for a few more minutes. Ye Chen checked the time and said to her: "Miss Lin, I plan to go to the hillside villa in Xiangxieli at noon to see my grandmother and aunt. The time is about right, so I will take my leave first. I will come to see you again after I finish the matters at hand."

Lin Wan'er nodded in understanding and asked him: "Young master, how should these photocopies be handled?"

Ye Chen thought for a moment and said: "Leave them to you, Miss Lin, to handle. You can put them away, or burning them with a fire is also fine."

Lin Wan'er nodded and said: "Very well, then I will handle it."

Lin Wan'er sent Ye Chen out the door, and after having Qiu Yingshan arrange for Sister Xian to drive Ye Chen to Xiangxieli, she returned to the top-floor villa alone and organized all the photocopies of the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface' properly.

Originally, she wanted to throw these papers directly into the furnace to burn them.

But after sitting cross-legged on a meditation cushion alone for a few minutes, she suddenly stood up very decisively, found her schoolbag, put all these papers into the bag, and then, with the bag on her back, stepped out of the villa.

After walking down the stone steps, Lin Wan'er said to Old Zhang, who was guarding there: "Have Old Qiu prepare a more low-key car for me; I need to go out!"

Old Zhang asked hurriedly: "Miss, would you like this old servant to accompany you?"

Lin Wan'er waved her hand very decisively: "No need, I will go myself!"

At the same time, at the mountain villa of Qixia Temple.

The elderly Sister Sun came to the meditation room where An Chengxi was resting and said respectfully: "Madam, after the young master got off the plane, he went to the Zijin Villa. He should have gone to see Lin Wan'er."

"Alright, I understand." An Chengxi nodded slightly and said with a smile: "It seems that in Chen'er's heart, Lin Wan'er might be the best choice for sharing secrets."

Sister Sun agreed: "The young master and she are both people who carry many secrets, and both of their secrets have their own merits in terms of being shocking. Once they open their hearts, they will inevitably have many common topics."

An Chengxi sighed: "The main thing is that Lin Wan'er is too smart. The more Chen'er communicates with her, the lower the probability of him making mistakes. It's not everyone who can have someone who has lived for nearly four hundred years by their side to help them correct their mistakes at any time."

Sister Sun nodded and asked again: "Madam, back then, Young Master Changying also left the photocopies of the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface' to Peter Zhou. Since the young master rescued him from New York this time and sent the Sifang Baozhuang back to China, he should have also obtained the photocopies of the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface'. Should we find a way to remind the young master not to cultivate the heart technique within it?"

An Chengxi said: "Last time in the Ten Thousand Mountains, our rash contact with Lin Wan'er was a last resort. At that time, that was the last line of defense. If Chen'er hadn't stopped even after reaching that point, we would have had to risk exposing ourselves to intervene. Now, we should still avoid contact with Chen'er as much as possible. Regarding this matter, I believe that with Lin Wan'er's intelligence, she will surely be able to guess most of it. We don't need to be in a hurry for now."

As she spoke, An Chengxi suddenly remembered something and said with a somewhat flustered expression: "Sister Sun, Lin Wan'er might come to Qixia Temple to find you. For the sake of caution, I will set off to leave Jin Ling later and head to Mount Putuo to rest for a few days. You stay here for one more day. If Lin Wan'er hasn't come to Qixia Temple by this time tomorrow, you come to Mount Putuo to find me. If Lin Wan'er comes, and she comes alone, you find an opportunity to meet with her and determine whether Chen'er has any intention of cultivating the 'Nine Mysteries Heart Technique'. Also, consult her about what kind of cooperation Chen'er reached with the Rothschild family during this trip to the United States. I received news this morning that several companies in Silicon Valley waiting for NVIDIA to supply graphics cards have had their deliveries delayed for no reason. I always feel that this matter has something to do with Chen'er."

Sister Sun listened with a blank face and asked in confusion: "Madam, why do you suddenly feel that Lin Wan'er will come to Qixia Temple to find this subordinate?"

An Chengxi said: "Last time you stopped Lin Wan'er in the Ten Thousand Mountains, although she didn't know our identities, she must have known that the reason we did so was because we cared about Chen'er and were afraid that Chen'er would encounter danger;"

"This time, Chen'er brought back the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface' and went to see her at Zijin Villa the first chance he got. He will inevitably open his heart to her. With her intelligence, she will surely see that this is all a trap laid by Meng Changsheng, and she will also surely be able to figure out that the 'Nine Mysteries Scripture Preface' is full of danger for Chen'er;"

"Last time, when Chen'er was in a dangerous situation, we took action. Although this time it is not as urgent as the last, it is equally important. She will surely be able to guess that we are likely watching from the shadows;"

"If she knows we are watching her and confirms that we are not a danger, she will likely use actual actions to convey to us the message that she wants to meet;"

"You pretended to be a nun when you met her last time. If she goes to any temple or nunnery in Jin Ling within the next 24 hours, that must be telling us that she wants to meet with us. Qixia Temple is the most famous temple in Jin Ling; if she wants to convey information to us, she will likely come here as well."

Sister Sun couldn't help but be a little stunned. Although she had served An Chengxi faithfully for many years, her thinking still couldn't keep up with An Chengxi's rhythm. People say that those who look one step ahead and guess three steps are masters, but those who look one step ahead and guess ten steps are somewhat metaphysical to the comprehension of ordinary people.

However, although she couldn't quite understand it, she still wouldn't have any doubts about An Chengxi, so she said without hesitation: "Alright, Madam, I will wait for her here for a day!"

Just as she finished speaking, the young woman who had pretended to be a nun in the Ten Thousand Mountains, whose dharma name was Jingchen, stepped in and said: "Madam, Sister Sun, we saw from the surveillance below Zijin Mountain that the young master left Zijin Mountain ten minutes ago. After exiting the East Gate, the car went south and got on the highway; it is highly likely he is going to Xiangxieli. Two minutes ago, Lin Wan'er also drove out alone and has just driven out of Zijin Mountain."

An Chengxi asked: "In which direction did Lin Wan'er go?"

Jingchen said: "Replying to Madam, after Lin Wan'er exited the East Gate of Zijin Mountain, she went north."

Sister Sun was horrified and said: "Lin Wan'er is going north; does that mean she is heading toward Qixia Temple?"

Jingchen said: "Replying to Sister Sun, it cannot be confirmed yet, but we will follow her using the traffic surveillance along the way to see where she is actually going."

An Chengxi smiled slightly and said: "Sister Sun, Lin Wan'er should be coming to Qixia Temple. Coming from Zijin Mountain, it will take at least forty minutes by car. You should prepare yourself."

Sister Sun asked her hurriedly: "Madam, should this subordinate meet her in the identity of the nun, or another identity?"

An Chengxi said: "She must have long since seen through your fake nun identity. You might as well just wait for her in the parking lot outside the temple and chat with her outside. As for the script, just use Plan A that we decided on before."
