The Amazing son in law Chapter 6121
At this moment, beneath the towering Qingzhaoan Mountain, charlie found himself grappling with the decision to abandon his journey.
Leaving now would leave him with a lingering sense of regret.
Yet, Lin Wan’er (Alani) made some valid points in her analysis.
Some individuals go to great lengths to remind themselves that insisting on their own path could come across as somewhat arrogant.
As charlie contemplated the notion of arrogance, it dawned on him that his current abilities were insufficient when faced with the unknown.
After a moment of reflection, charlie offered a wry smile and said, “That master’s wife has a point. My strength isn’t even on par with Sara’s, so I shouldn’t let pride cloud my judgment. Furthermore, the master’s wife must possess extraordinary insight, as she is aware of both our information and movements, indicating she is certainly not an ordinary person.”
Turning to Lin Wan’er (Alani), he added earnestly, “Ms. Lin is indeed wiser than I am. Many issues run deeper than I realize, and she perceives them with greater clarity. Since you’ve advised me to reconsider, I think it’s best to heed the advice of others, enjoy a good meal, and then head back to Aurous Hill.”
Lin Wan’er (Alani), previously anxious, finally exhaled with relief.
She had feared that charlie might stubbornly cling to his goal, ignoring any contrary opinions.
With charlie now willing to turn back, she felt a wave of comfort wash over her.
In an effort to uplift his spirits, she gently took his arm and smiled, “Young master, while you may pause your journey today, it doesn’t mean you’ll stop for good. This time, you’re simply taking a step back. Rest well, gather your strength, and wait for a more opportune moment to try again. Isn’t that what experts often call a strategic retreat?”
charlie couldn’t help but feel a bit disheartened as he replied, “A retreat is a retreat; there’s no such thing as a strategic retreat.”
Lin Wan’er (Alani) looked at him with a playful smile and asked, “I take it you’ve never attempted to climb Mount Everest or K2?”
charlie nodded, admitting, “I haven’t climbed either. How about you?”
With a proud smile, Lin Wan’er (Alani) replied, “I’ve actually climbed both, and not just once.”
As she continued, she recounted, “Decades ago, when mountaineering gear was still quite primitive, it was an immense challenge to scale Mount Everest and K2. Climbing K2, in particular, proved to be exceptionally difficult. Many have tried for over 50 years only to turn back at various points, but fortunately, in the last five years, climbers have managed to ascend to greater heights until they ultimately conquered the summit.”
