Chapter 3046: A Good Breakthrough Point

For oddballs like Ma Lan and Xiao Changkun, although Ye Chen had long since been accustomed to them, being truly in the center of the vortex still felt very uncomfortable, and could even cause physical discomfort.

Therefore, leaving quickly at this time was the best choice for him.

Ye Chen left home, and for a moment, he felt he had nowhere to go. The road to Champs-Élysées was relatively far, and going back and forth took up too much time.

Feeling bored, he suddenly thought of Lin Wan'er by some strange coincidence, so he called her.

The call was connected, and Lin Wan'er asked curiously, "Why did the young master call me at mealtime? Could it be that you want to invite me to dinner?"

Ye Chen smiled, "I don't have a meal plan either. Since you said so, let's go out for lunch together!"

Lin Wan'er smiled, "Since the young master has no meal plan, why not come to my place for a meal? The weather is cool, and I'm preparing to have hot pot in the courtyard. If the young master comes, I'll have Sister Xian prepare an extra set of tableware and add some ingredients."

"Good!" Ye Chen said without hesitation, "It just so happens I can return the car Sister Xian lent me last time. Wait for me, I'm coming over!"

Having said that, Ye Chen hung up the phone and drove the Rolls-Royce he had brought from Zijin Villa away from Tang Chen Yi Pin.

When he arrived at the small courtyard where Lin Wan'er was, Sister Xian had just sent the ingredients and was preparing to go out. Seeing Ye Chen, she said respectfully, "Hello, Mr. Ye."

Ye Chen nodded slightly, handed the car key to Sister Xian, and said, "Sister Xian, I've brought the car back. Just park it in the parking lot at the entrance. Here is the key."

Sister Xian said, "If Mr. Ye needs it, just drive it and use it, no need to return it."

Ye Chen smiled, "Still not used to driving such an expensive car, it's a bit too high-profile."

Hearing this, Sister Xian didn't say anything more. After taking the car key, she said respectfully to Ye Chen, "Mr. Ye, your tableware and ingredients are all ready. I won't disturb you and the young lady's meal."

Ye Chen nodded, "Thank you, Sister Xian."

Sister Xian walked away, and Ye Chen saw Lin Wan'er, as well as the table, chairs, and tableware she had prepared in the courtyard—a beautiful solid wood small table, paired with two Huang Huali chairs, and various high-end ingredients arranged in an orderly manner on the table and the small cabinet next to it. Paired with this antique small courtyard, everything seemed perfectly matched.

Ye Chen looked at the impeccable scene before him and sighed, "Miss Lin's aesthetics are truly remarkable. If you opened a restaurant, even if there wasn't a single dish in the restaurant, just relying on the environment would probably get you a Michelin star."

"Only one star." Lin Wan'er stuck out her tongue, then giggled, "Young master, please take your seat. It's almost time to start the meal."

Ye Chen nodded and sat down opposite her.

Lin Wan'er took the empty bowl in front of Ye Chen, served him a bowl of soup, and said with concern, "Young master, this is fish maw chicken soup, drink it while it's hot."

Ye Chen took the bowl, thanked her, and asked, "Miss Lin, why are you so leisurely today, eating hot pot alone?"

Lin Wan'er said with a smile, "Nothing to do every day, so I like this kind of thing that can kill time the most."

As she spoke, she asked Ye Chen, "Young master has eyes and ears everywhere in Jin Ling, why is it that you have nowhere to eat alone at noon today?"

Ye Chen said truthfully, "My father-in-law and mother-in-law are arguing at home, it's truly affecting my mood, so I came out."

"So that's it." Lin Wan'er nodded, then asked, "By the way, young master didn't go to Champs-Élysées today?"

Ye Chen said, "My wife is coming back this afternoon, and I have to go to the airport to pick her up. Going to Champs-Élysées would take a long detour and waste time."

Hearing that Xiao Churan was coming back, Lin Wan'er felt a bit disappointed in her heart.

She knew that in the future, the chances of Ye Chen coming to Zijin Villa would definitely be much fewer, and the chances of her meeting Ye Chen would naturally be greatly reduced.

However, she didn't show it, but asked lightly, "I wonder how the progress is at Champs-Élysées, young master? Can the progress speed of those martial artists get your approval?"

Ye Chen explained, "The cultivation speed of most people there is within the normal range."

Having said that, he suddenly thought of Ito Nanako, so he said, "By the way, there is one thing I haven't synchronized with Miss Lin yet. I wonder if Miss Lin knows Ito Nanako?"

Lin Wan'er smiled, "I know. That Japanese girl by the young master's side, what's wrong?"

Ye Chen said, "Nanako achieved enlightenment a few days ago."

"Enlightenment?" Lin Wan'er was slightly startled, then asked, "What kind of enlightenment is the young master talking about? Is it True Qi, or spiritual energy?"

True Qi is the Martial Dao, while spiritual energy is the true path of cultivation.

However, although there is a world of difference between the two, everyone's way of saying it is very unified. The link of formally entering the path is all called "enlightenment".

Ye Chen said at this time, "Nanako has already mastered spiritual energy."

Lin Wan'er exclaimed, "Mastered spiritual energy, really or fake?"

Ye Chen said firmly, "It's true."

Lin Wan'er said with an envious face, "That Miss Ito is young, I didn't expect her to have the talent for enlightenment. What's even more unexpected is that she is actually a Japanese."

Having said that, she asked Ye Chen suspiciously, "Did the young master help with Nanako's enlightenment?"

Ye Chen shook his head, "I didn't help her. An enlightened high monk at Qixia Temple pointed her out, allowing her to achieve enlightenment by mistake."

"A high monk at Qixia Temple?"

Upon hearing this, Lin Wan'er immediately thought of the fake nun she had met twice.

Originally, she wanted to tell Ye Chen so he would know she had met the other party. But thinking about it carefully, even she couldn't figure out the other party's identity. If she told Ye Chen directly, it would probably bring great psychological pressure to Ye Chen. Rather than that, it would be better to say nothing at all.

Ye Chen didn't know that Lin Wan'er had been to Qixia Temple and had seen the fake nun he saw in the Ten Thousand Mountains that day.

He answered Lin Wan'er's question, "A high monk with deep insight into Buddhism came to Qixia Temple a few days ago. This monk is already enlightened. Nanako went to Qixia Temple to find him to ask for a protective amulet by chance. He saw that Nanako had the talent for enlightenment, so he helped her."

Lin Wan'er asked curiously, "An enlightened monk? This is the first time I've heard of it. Does the young master know the monk's dharma name?"

Ye Chen then said, "The other party is called Master Jingqing. It is said that he is the monk who has the deepest understanding and knows the most about Buddhism in these years."

"Master Jingqing..." Lin Wan'er nodded lightly. Regarding that lecturer monk, she actually didn't know the other party's identity. However, fortunately, the four words "Master Jingqing" shouldn't be fake.

Lin Wan'er was secretly happy in her heart. In her view: the possibility of an enlightened high monk suddenly randomly pointing out Ito Nanako and helping her achieve enlightenment is not high. It must have been specially arranged by someone. She has been unable to find the identity information of the fake nun and the mastermind behind her. Master Jingqing might be a very good breakthrough point! ===== CHAPTER 3047 =====
