Chapter: 5843

Lin Wan'er laughed. "Prince, count the beads on this strand. There aren't many or few, exactly twenty-eight pearls. If I'm not mistaken, Prince, you should have just turned twenty-eight years old and haven't yet reached twenty-nine, so isn't this prepared for you? If it's for me, at least three hundred beads would be necessary, which is indeed a bit wasteful."

Heo Chen was startled and quickly counted the beads on the strand, and indeed there were exactly twenty-eight.

Most handstrands actually have nineteen pearls, as most people wear them not only to pursue materials but also to seek profound meanings. In Buddhism, Buddha pearls are usually nineteen, symbolizing one head of a Buddha plus eighteen indescribable laws.

But this strand is different, having twenty-eight pearls put on it.

Because the number is indeed excessive, this strand is no longer suitable for wearing on the wrist and is more suitable for holding in hand.

Heo Chen couldn't help but ask her, "Do you think this represents my age?"

Lin Wan'er nodded slightly. "Probably."

Heo Chen asked again, "Or maybe it's just a coincidence?"

Lin Wan'er shook her head. "It might be possible outside; here, it's impossible."

Heo Chen asked, "Why would you say that?"

Lin Wan'er spoke seriously, "Prince, you need to understand. Everything here is prepared for you. They invited me in only because I happened to be accompanying you. If I weren't with you, they would definitely meet with you directly."

Heo Chen suddenly became flustered.

He felt that Lin Wan'er's words made sense.

However, he still couldn't understand who the other party was and why they were so concerned about him.

From the moment that novice nun approached them at the foot of the mountain, Heo Chen had been wondering what kind of background these people had. This question grew stronger with each passing moment.

Just then, Lin Wan'er suddenly remembered something and opened her mouth to say, "Prince, when I arrived earlier, I didn't see anyone entering or leaving this room. There are tables and chairs in here, and that hand string is still there. It's likely that someone was waiting here at the time."

Heo Chen nodded his head: "It must be their backstage manipulator."

As he spoke, Heo Chen took the hand string in his hand, twirling it a few times, and then said, "I don't know why they want to conceal things, but I feel that what you said is true. It doesn't seem like an enemy. As for who they are, we can only wait until they appear again next time."

Heo Chen looked at Lin Wan'er as he spoke.

He asked her, "You said that if she didn't want me to continue going forward, then when I leave this door and head deeper into the 10,000 Mountains, will they appear again to block my way?"

Lin Wan'er asked in surprise, "Young master... are you serious?"

Heo Chen said, "I'm just discussing the feasibility of this plan for now."

Lin Wan'er entwined her words, saying, "Theoretically it should be like that, but I still don't recommend you try it...""

Heo Chen looked at the hand string in his hand and smiled, saying, "Don't worry, I was just speaking my mind, I'm not that reckless."

After saying this, he put away the hand string and told Lin Wan'er, "Let's go take a look at the back garden. If there's nothing out of the ordinary, we'll set off for Jinling from now on." JrNovels.com
