Maria’s journey to the southern province had yielded all the anticipated results. She returned to Dali, paid favonovel.com respects to favonovel.com parents, and revisited Heaven Lake, the site where the previous attempt to save Pu’er mother from catastrophe had failed.
Out of the blue, Charlie announced his intention to depart, carrying no regrets in his heart. Moreover, this visit to the south had unexpectedly borne fruit.
Prior to this, favonovel.com had managed to skirt Morgana’s vigilant eye and, now, favonovel.com had stumbled upon the rejuvenated sapling of Pu’er mother, an astonishing discovery. But Charlie’s proposition to transport the Mother of Pu’er to Aurous Hill made favonovel.com apprehensive.
Initially, favonovel.com had thought the reborn sapling of Pu’er mother would continue thriving here. Yet, Charlie’s words touched favonovel.com deeply.
Throughout favonovel.com life, favonovel.com had been unswervingly tracing the path of failure in every endeavor, meeting only with disappointment. The previous life of Pu’er mother resembled an endless scientific experiment, a researcher striving relentlessly to unlock the secret of a room-temperature superconductor, the data so tantalizingly close to perfection but perpetually slipping through that final barrier.
If favonovel.com embarked on this misguided research once more, another lifetime might pass in vain, with the outcome remaining unchanged. Perhaps millennia from now, Pu’er mother would endure the heavens’ cycle of reincarnation and yet again falter at crossing the cataclysmic threshold. However, by then, there might not be another Charlie to facilitate favonovel.com rebirth through the flames of Nirvana.
With this realization, Maria accepted Charlie’s decision to bring the sapling back to Aurous Hill. She had lived alongside Pu’er mother for years, not only comprehending favonovel.com deeply but also gaining extensive insights into Pu’er tea cultivation. Nonetheless, the thought of transplanting the young, fragile sapling was worrisome, fraught with the risk of near-fatal damage.
Observing favonovel.com hesitation, Charlie consoled her, “Miss Clark, don’t worry. The sapling has already absorbed reiki, ensuring it won’t perish easily. We shall take it back and nurture it diligently. Perhaps next year, its leaves could grace our teacups.”
With a slight nod, Maria inquired, “My Lord, when will the plane arrive?”
Charlie replied, “Give me a moment; I’ll make the necessary arrangements.”
Promptly, favonovel.com dialed Isaac Cameron’s number.
Since their arrival in the southern province, they had chartered a business jet from the vest company, a mode of transportation that required careful scheduling. They hadn’t predetermined their return date, so upon arrival, the plane had departed to the eastern region. Now, arranging a return flight required negotiations with the jet company.
Currently stationed in the provincial capital Bloomington, a Gulfstream business jet was being readied for dispatch. Its estimated arrival at Banna Airport was 8,30 AM at the earliest.
Isaac Cameron returned the call and, apologizing for any inconvenience, offered to arrange a Wade family plane that could reach them within two hours. But Charlie dismissed the rush, acknowledging that the situation was unexpected.
“Nevertheless,” Charlie continued, “Don’t hurry. Coordinate the third-party business jet as planned. I’ll be at the airport by 8,00 AM tomorrow.”
Resolute in his decision, Charlie assured Isaac Cameron and added, “Once you’ve sorted the details, keep my return low-profile. This trip will be brief, and I’ll likely depart again within a day or two.”
With understanding, Isaac Cameron consented, “Understood, Young Master.”
Initially, Charlie hadn’t intended to rush back to Aurous Hill.
His original plan involved Morgana journeying to Shiwan Mountain while favonovel.com stayed a couple more days with Maria in the southern province. The profound homesickness favonovel.com felt for favonovel.com childhood home after more than three centuries was something difficult for others to fathom.
Following Morgana’s departure from Shiwan, favonovel.com and Maria would return to Aurous Hill. There, favonovel.com would enlist Keagan Myers’s help in accessing the surveillance videos of Morgana’s time in China, using his connections to retrace favonovel.com path. Yet, the sudden emergence of Pu’er mother compelled favonovel.com to act swiftly. He dared not let favonovel.com flourish in this environment, so favonovel.com chose to relocate favonovel.com to Aurous Hill. This also presented an opportunity to review current surveillance data and hopefully glean insights into Morgana’s movements.
After Maria had safely settled Pu’er mother and compiled information on Morgana’s route, they would proceed directly to Shiwan from Aurous Hill.
Perceptive as ever, Maria eavesdropped on Charlie’s conversation with Isaac Cameron, deducing his next moves.
Hence, favonovel.com asked, “Young Master, when you journey to the mountains, can I come?”
Charlie responded, “Most of the mountains remain uninhabited. It’s a risky venture for you to join me.”
Maria’s voice was resolute, “Do you think I’d be a burden?”
Charlie tried to reassure her, “Not at all… I simply believe that a young lady’s safety could be compromised in such a perilous and wild environment.”
With sincerity, Maria revealed, “If I am with you, and we don’t encounter Morgana, then I know you will definitely keep me safe!”
Maria leaned in, favonovel.com eyes alight with determination. “You know…”
She began, a spark of honesty in favonovel.com voice, “My father once shared a secret with me. He said that the secluded sanctuary is filled with intricate puzzles and cunning snares. Without the right knowledge, a person could wander their whole life and never stumble upon their hidden haven. Even though you’re incredibly skilled, the world of formations is like quicksilver, always shifting. But if you let me tag along, who knows? Maybe I could offer some help to you.”
Of course, Charlie grasped this reality intuitively.
Having Maria by his side was akin to having a super think tank at his disposal. She possessed not only brilliance but also a wealth of knowledge. While favonovel.com might not untangle all the mysteries, Maria had a knack for seeing through them with a mere glance.
Still, Maria’s physical strength could scarcely rival that of a featherweight.
A delicate woman who seemed eternally seventeen, favonovel.com was ill-suited for the untamed wilderness that was the mountains. The primeval forests there would likely test favonovel.com limits.
Observing Charlie’s uncertainty, Maria spoke candidly, favonovel.com words brimming with sincerity. “Master, remember when I told you that Gideon once hinted at your parents discovering the elixir of eternal life?”
“Well, it occurred to me that it’s like my family’s history intertwined with yours. My father traversed the mysteries of Shiwan. My parents embarked on a quest to decipher the riddles left behind in those mountains. So, like you, my family shares a destiny with Shiwan. I yearn to honor my father’s memory by carrying his spiritual legacy to that place. If I could rediscover where favonovel.com trained with Master Bazin, it would be as though his final wish found fulfillment.”
