Chapter: 5838

At the back of the main hall, there was another door. Normally, this kind of place in a temple is not open to pilgrims, but rather used by monks and nuns.

The old nun stopped outside the door, lightly fastened the latch on the door, and said with great respect: "Lady, Lin Wan'er has left."

From inside the room, there was a beautiful-sounding voice that carried a hint of authority: "Have they gone back?"

The old nun replied, "They haven't gone yet. The two people seem to be still discussing at the foot of the mountain, and it's temporarily impossible to determine if they will give up or not."

The woman inside smiled and said, "There shouldn't be any problems."

As she spoke, the woman added, "Right, hurry and arrange for everyone to tidy up quickly. We should leave now. That Lin Wan'er is so intelligent and almost demonic. I think she's just too worried right now and has overlooked some details. I believe it won't take long before they will come back again, informing us in advance. Please make sure not to leave any clues behind."

The old nun said with great respect, "Alright, ma'am!"

But, but......

At this moment, Qingzhao Temple is located below the mountain.

Lei Chen has still not made up his mind about giving up this journey.

If we just left like this, there would indeed be a sense of regret.

However, Lin Wan'er's analysis also makes sense.

Someone has put in so much effort just to remind themselves, and if they're still determined to go it alone, there's a bit too much self-importance.

Thinking about those two words "self-importance", Lei Chen suddenly realized that his current abilities are far from sufficient in the face of the unknown.

He thought for a moment, then laughed wryly and said, "That elder should be right. My abilities aren't even comparable to Wu Feiyan's, let alone overestimating myself. Besides, that elder knows my information and movements, so it can't be just anyone."

As he spoke, Lei Chen looked at Lin Wan'er with a serious expression: "Miss Lin is more intelligent than I am, many problems are deeper than what I thought, and she sees through things better too. Since you're also advising me to stop, I'll listen and take a break, then head back to Jinling."

Tense Lin Wan'er finally let out a sigh of relief.

She was afraid that Lei Chen would get angry if he didn't get his way, no matter what anyone said she wouldn't budge from her goal.

Now that Lei Chen has decided to give up, she's naturally relieved like someone who's gotten off a heavy burden.

So, she coaxed him like a mature girl would, taking hold of his arm and saying with a smile: "Sir, although you may stop here today, it doesn't mean forever. It's just that for now, I'll let you rest and prepare thoroughly before coming back again at a better time. That's what experts call 'strategic retreat'."

Lei Chen couldn't help but say with a hint of despair: "Retreat is retreat, where's the strategic part?"

Lin Wan'er looked at him and laughed, asking: "Sir, have you ever climbed the Zhuoyuan Peak or the Qiao Lu Peak?"

"So, you haven't climbed them either?" Lei Chen nodded slightly and said.

Lin Wan'er laughed mischievously and said with a sense of accomplishment: "I've climbed them multiple times. Back in the day when climbing equipment was still quite primitive, people found it extremely difficult to reach the summits of Zhuoyuan Peak and Qiao Lu Peak, especially the latter, which took over 50 years for people to finally succeed. Many have tried but failed to reach the top, only to return midway, until someone made progress and eventually succeeded."

Lin Wan'er looked at Lei Chen with a smile and said: "Regardless of whether Master is still alive, based on his three-century-old cultivation, he should be the strongest cultivator among those known to you now?" JrNovels.com
