Chapter: 6200

Ye Chen asked her: "Do you mean that my current situation was planned by him three hundred years ago?"

Lin Wanyi nodded heavily and said: "Or perhaps everything is just a very long fishing trip. However, Teacher Gu's goal is not the father of the young master......"

Ye Chen continued to say: "His goal is me..."

"That's right," Lin Wanyi was resolute. "I also think so! Who knows when Teacher Gu started planning this thing, but he won't just be thinking about the inheritance."

Ye Chen asked her again: "Then what do you think he spent his heart and soul on three hundred years ago? He himself was already dead three hundred years ago......"

Lin Wanyi thought for a moment and asked him: "Young master, after you went to America to contact the Rockefeller family this time, do you think Howard is most concerned about what?"

And here is the continuation of my previous response:

As he spoke, his heart felt extremely ashamed. If he had the opportunity to make a choice, he would rather be an ordinary person who didn't understand cultivation than have his father pay such a heavy price for him in the end, only to meet with Mother together at the Breakthrough Ceremony and ultimately be killed by it...

"He's naturally most concerned about his lifespan," said Leaf Qi.

As he spoke, Leaf Qi asked again, "Miss Lin's meaning is that Meng Changsheng set up this trap also for the sake of longevity?"

Lin Wanyi nodded slightly and spoke seriously, "Father said that Teacher Publicly was actually a person who was extremely averse to worldly desires and emotions, regardless of whether it was during the Yuan or Ming dynasties or the Qing dynasty. He had the ability to vie for the throne, but he didn't care about the struggles for worldly interests. The only thing he cared about was longevity."

Leaf Qi agreed, saying, "I don't know him well, but through some rumors I've heard, I can infer that this person is indeed obsessed with longevity. But why didn't he die hundreds of years ago?"

Lin Wanyi said, "I dare not rashly speculate on Teacher Publicly's life and death, but I can be certain that Teacher Publicly set up this trap full of schemes to ensure that someone like you would assist him in achieving his goal of longevity. It's possible that he is pinning his hopes on you being able to go to the Wutong Mountains and get entangled in the net. I suspect that this is why, when you were still young, a fake teacher stopped me from persuading you not to move forward."

As she spoke, Lin Wanyi said again, "Therefore, regarding this trap, I feel that there are two possibilities. One possibility is that the trigger time of this trap has a time limit, meaning it can only be triggered when Teacher Publicly is still alive. But Teacher Publicly himself didn't expect that this trap would cause such a delay, extending all the way until his death, and even to the point where the trap was only opened after he found the preface to the 'Nine Heavens Chronicle'. If that's the case, the Wutong Mountains should not pose any substantial threat to you."

Her tone became grave as she continued, "The other possibility is that Teacher Publicly knows that this trap won't be triggered until some unknown year or month, but for him, what matters is not when it's triggered, just as long as it gets triggered. If that's the case..."

"Still alive?" Leaf Qi raised an eyebrow and asked her, "If he's still alive, then he should have figured out how to extend his lifespan from a thousand years to even longer. And if he hasn't died, then his current abilities should be far stronger than mine or Wu Feiyun's by several orders of magnitude. What's the point of keeping him in silence for so many years?"

As he spoke, Leaf Qi said again, "In other words, if he needs someone like you to do something for him, he can just come to find me directly instead of going through all this trouble and dragging me into it."

Lin Wanyi looked at Leaf Qi and then gazed out the window at the lush green tea plants, asking Leaf Qi, "Think about Pu Tea Mother's experience. For over three hundred years, I've been feeling that she was already gone, having perished in that calamity. But I never thought that she would have her own way of preserving a thread of life for herself. Her lifespan is like a seed that remains dormant forever, as long as it doesn't encounter the spring rain that belongs to her. Once that rain falls, she can be reborn from the earth, breaking through the soil and emerging anew."

"Speaking of this, Lin Wanyi and Leaf Qi locked eyes, whispering to each other: 'Young master, I feel that Master should have his own way of preserving a thread of life for himself, just like Pu Tea Mother. Once he wants that spring rain to fall, he can be reborn from the earth, breaking through the soil and emerging anew...'

Leaf Qi looked at Pu Tea Mother, and under the sunlit branches, although still very slender, had already grown much thicker than when it first broke through the soil. Just then, a tender shoot curled up slowly in the sunlight, revealing another smaller and more delicate new sprout inside.

Leaf Qi's heart suddenly felt a distinct sense of sinking, with some tension and unease hidden beneath.

Lin Wanyi suddenly grasped Leaf Qi's hand, her expression filled with surprise and asked: 'Young master, do you still remember what we talked about when we fought against Longsheng Bao?'

Leaf Qi nodded: 'Of course I do.'

Lin Wanyi said: 'You told me that if Longsheng Bao was before the opening of Nidamoon Palace, even if you destroyed his physical body, he could just switch to another one to take revenge on you?'

Leaf Qi nodded again: 'That's right. He really did say that.' JrNovels.com
