Chapter: 5808

He couldn't figure out why all the rainwater residues had vanished after the heavy rain.

He used to have nine years of compulsory education, which left him with only four words in his mind now: "This is unscientific."

Or maybe it's six words: "This is really unscientific."

He looked at himself from head to toe, touched his hairline, chest, back, and even took off his shoes to touch the soles. He even lost control of himself, stretching his hand into his shoe for half a day.

But every place he touched was extremely dry, with no sign of being rained on.

Lin Wan'er is the same.

Ye Chen remembered clearly that just now Lin Wan'er's hair had stuck to her face because of the heavy rain, looking a bit disheveled.

Her t-shirt had also gotten wet and transparently showed the outline of her innerwear due to the rain.

But now, her oversized t-shirt didn't even show a wrinkle or water stain.

"Seriously, what the hell is going on?" Ye Chen muttered to himself.

Then he asked Lin Wan'er, "Lin Miss, did it really just rain? Can this not be my own hallucination?"

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly and said in a soft voice: "Indeed, it just rained heavily. I've lived for many years, but I've never seen such a big rain."

"Yes." Ye Chen also nodded slightly and then asked her tightly: "But where did the rain go?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head: "I don't know."

Ye Chen crossed his arms and said in puzzlement: "This is really unscientific! People say that geese leave footprints, but how can such a big rain just disappear like this? The soil isn't even wet. It's as if it's not there...?"

Lin Wan'er smiled and said: "As the master of the Way, you have a living wonder in front of you who is nearly 400 years old. Why would you still be attached to science?"

Ye Chen spoke sincerely: "I think that the Way can also be explained by science, it's just that our current technological level hasn't grasped its principles yet. The spiritual energy is simply a higher-level energy that's like atomic energy. When people didn't understand it, they thought it was impossible. Maybe the spiritual energy is indeed like an invisible energy that's similar to nuclear fuel."

Lin Wan'er smiled and said seriously: "You make sense, or perhaps the spiritual energy is as you say, another kind of higher-level energy that hasn't been grasped by most people and hasn't had its principles researched yet."

Ye Chen added: "Even if it's spiritual energy, it still has to follow the law of conservation of energy, right? Just now, there was so much rain, but after it stopped raining, the water is still here. This is just the law of conservation, but where did all that water go?"

As he spoke, Ye Chen continued: "And I've exhausted half my spiritual energy with that one thunderbolt, and where has my spiritual energy gone?"

Lin Wan'er pointed to the little sapling in front of them and laughed: "Your spiritual energy is right there! If it weren't for your thunderbolt, Mother Tea wouldn't have been able to break through the soil and be reborn."

Ye Chen's expression changed, and he asked her, "Didn't Mother Tea turn into charcoal three hundred years ago?"

Lin Wan'er nodded seriously and said, "Yes, I saw it with my own eyes. She was struck by lightning and turned into charcoal."

Ye Chen pointed to the sapling and asked, "How does this explain that?"

Lin Wan'er spoke solemnly, saying, "Master Ye, Mother Tea may be just a tree, but she's also a tree that has survived calamity. Even though she's not human, if a person could survive calamity, their strength would be terrifying. Similarly, as one of the countless trees in this world, Mother Tea might be among the top few in terms of her endurance, far surpassing our imagination." JrNovels.com
