The Amazing son in law Chapter 6125

It’s challenging to grasp every detail in this case when acting independently, yet at first glance, it appears they are quite distinct. Not only are they collaborating as a team, but they have also made advanced preparations. Given the situation, there shouldn’t be any clues remaining for us.

“That’s true…” Lin Wan’er (Alani) sighed, adding, “It seems they anticipated our arrival and prepared accordingly at Qingzhao Temple.”

As she spoke, Lin Wan’er (Alani) had a thought and continued, “We might be able to gather some information about Qingzhao’an from the locals, which could lead us to some clues.”

“Alright,” charlie Wade replied with a nod, “Let’s head up there and take a look first.”

…

Upon reaching the main entrance of Qingzhao’an, they found the door was already shut.

However, charlie Wade stepped forward and gently pushed it, causing the door to creak open. He stepped inside, noticed the thick wooden bolt behind the door, and frowned. “It seems they were aware of our approach and deliberately left the door open for us.”

Lin Wan’er looked alarmed and murmured, “They seem to have considered every move we might make…”

“Yes,” charlie Wade chuckled self-deprecatingly, “I thought I was being clever, but it turns out they know everything. What puzzles me is how they can anticipate every detail.”

Lin Wan’er (Alani) expressed her dismay, saying, “The Nu family hasn’t engaged in any cultivation for over three hundred years. Their arrogance has always stemmed from their intellect, but now it seems they surpass us.”

charlie Wade reassured her, “That’s to be expected. Two fists can’t compete with four hands. Moreover, they likely have a substantial organization behind them. With so many working together, it’s no wonder we’re struggling to comprehend.”

Lin Wan’er sighed softly, remarking, “Sara has failed to locate the slave family in three centuries. While these individuals may not be as formidable as Po Qing Hui, their backers are undoubtedly more cunning than both Sara and me.”

charlie Wade offered comfort, saying, “Fortunately, it’s unlikely they will become our enemies. If we can forge friendships in the future, it could greatly benefit us.”

Lin Wan’er nodded slightly, though it was clear she remained somewhat shaken.

charlie Wade shifted the subject, suggesting, “Let’s go inside and investigate.”

“Okay,” Lin Wan’er (Alani) agreed, following charlie Wade as they entered.

Qingzhao’an was not large. It consisted of just two courtyards: one at the front and one at the back. On either side of the front courtyard were side halls, with the main hall situated in the center. Behind the main hall was a small courtyard housing three tile-roofed houses.

charlie Wade and Lin Wan’er (Alani) first examined the side halls. Aside from a few Buddha statues within, nothing remarkable stood out.

In contrast, the main hall was illuminated by a glowing lantern that still burned brightly. The incense burner contained three sandalwood sticks, nearly burned down to their stubs.

charlie Wade inspected the incense burner, estimating the length of the ash and remarked, “These sandalwood sticks appear to have burned for quite a while, possibly over an hour.”

Lin Wan’er calculated the time and confirmed, “It has indeed been an hour since I left the slave’s house, met the master, and explained everything. Additionally, the master and the slave’s family had gone up the mountain and then returned.”

charlie Wade nodded, stating, “These three sticks of incense must have been lit right after you left.”

As he spoke, charlie Wade closed his eyes, inhaling the sandalwood fragrance deeply. “This aroma is exquisite, better than any sandalwood scent I’ve ever encountered!”

Lin Wan’er (Alani) agreed, “I was just about to say the same… This sandalwood is exceptional. As someone who appreciates tea and fragrances, I must admit that even the finest old sandalwood I’ve experienced pales in comparison. Its aroma is rich, deep, and subtly sweet.”

charlie Wade couldn’t help but reflect, “It seems every step we take has indeed been anticipated. They must have predicted that you would notice something unusual and that we would turn back. These three sticks of incense appear to have been burned specifically for us.”
