The Amazing son in law Chapter 6127
Many Buddhist beads typically consist of nineteen pieces, symbolizing a Buddha head along with eighteen distinct dharmas.
However, this particular bracelet features a unique design with twenty-eight beads.
Due to the abundance of pieces, the bracelet is no longer suitable for adorning the wrist; it’s more fitting to be twisted in the hand.
Charlie couldn’t resist asking her, “Do you think this signifies my age?”
Lin Waner nodded, “Most likely, yes.”
Charlie inquired further, “Could it just be a coincidence?”
Lin Waner shook her head, “While it might be a coincidence elsewhere, here, it’s impossible.”
Charlie pressed on, “Why do you say that?”
Lin Waner replied earnestly, “Sir, you must understand that everything here has been arranged for you. The reason the slave family was invited is simply because they happened to accompany the young master. If they hadn’t come along, they would have met with him directly.”
Charlie felt a sudden wave of anxiety.
He realized that Lin Waner (Alani) had a point.
Yet, he was still puzzled about who was so invested in him.
Ever since the little nun had initiated a conversation with them at the foot of the mountain, Charlie had been eager to learn about these mysterious individuals, and his curiosity was only intensifying.
At that moment, Lin Waner (Alani) recalled something and remarked, “Sir, when the slave family first arrived, they hadn’t seen anyone entering or leaving this room. There were tables, chairs, and this bracelet present. I believe someone must have been here at that time.”
Charlie nodded, “That must point to the mastermind behind it all.”
After contemplating for a moment, Charlie began to twist the bracelet in his hand and said, “I don’t know why they are being so secretive, but it feels as if, as you said, they don’t appear to be enemies. As for their origins, we can only wait for them to reveal themselves next time.”
As he spoke, Charlie turned to Lin Waner (Alani) and asked, “You mentioned that they don’t want me to proceed. If I go out this door and venture deeper into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, will they obstruct me again?”
Lin Waner gasped, “Master… you… are you serious?”
Charlie replied, “For now, we’re just exploring the feasibility of this idea.”
Lin Waner looked conflicted, “Master, theoretically, that should be the case, but I still wouldn’t recommend you trying…”
Charlie, glancing at the bracelet in his hand, smiled and reassured her, “Don’t worry, I was just speaking lightly, not intending any disrespect.”
With that, he tucked the bracelet away and stood up, saying to Lin Waner (Alani), “Let’s head to the backyard and see if there’s anything unusual. If not, we can start making our way back to Aurous Hill!”
Lin Waner (Alani) felt a sense of relief and accompanied Charlie to the backyard of Qingzhao’an.
The backyard was small, featuring only a few tile-roofed houses, likely where the nuns would reside.
However, it appeared to have been vacant for quite some time, suggesting that no one had lived there for a while.
This further supported Lin Waner (Alani)’s suspicion that the two nuns they had encountered were not genuine nuns.
Charlie even speculated that Qingzhao Temple had been abandoned for many years, and they had only opened it temporarily to obstruct him.
The two of them didn’t uncover any valuable clues in the backyard, but they did notice a path leading down the mountain from the back door.
They considered that the individuals might have escaped via this mountain route.
More than an hour had passed, and Charlie saw no signs along this path. Out of respect for those involved, he had no intention of chasing after them for answers.
Looking down the winding road, Charlie sighed softly and said to Lin Waner (Alani), “Let’s return to Aurous Hill.”
