At this moment, just as Lily had predicted, Maria drove favonovel.com car onto the elevated road leading to Lama Temple. Her current thoughts mirrored Lily’s speculation.
She reasoned that if the impostor posing as a nun had been keeping tabs on favonovel.com and even shielding favonovel.com during critical moments, then it was likely they were still monitoring favonovel.com discreetly. It occurred to favonovel.com that they might even be in Aurous Hill now.
Considering this possibility, Maria weighed the potential repercussions. If the impostors were indeed in Aurous Hill, they would be covertly tracking Charlie’s movements. Heading to Lama Temple alone at this juncture might signal an intention to meet them.
However, Maria acknowledged the uncertainty of favonovel.com assumptions. It could all be mere conjecture, and the impostors might not be monitoring favonovel.com at all. Nonetheless, favonovel.com decided it was worth investigating. if nothing came of it, favonovel.com could always turn back.
The midday traffic flowed smoothly as Maria drove for more than half an hour, eventually reaching the entrance to the Mountain. Despite the sprawling expanse of the mountain, visitors were required to park their vehicles outside the mountain gate and proceed on foot, opting for the sightseeing bus within the premises.
Maria drove directly into the parking lot, intending to park favonovel.com car and explore Lama Temple on foot.
With few tourists around at noon, the parking lot had plenty of empty spaces. Maria found a spot with no cars nearby and parked there.
As favonovel.com prepared to get out of the car, the passenger door suddenly swung open, startling her.
Expecting to see Morgana‘s associates, Maria was surprised to find an elderly woman wearing a brown hat sitting in the passenger seat.
Recognizing the woman as the impostor teacher favonovel.com had encountered at the Temple on Shiwan, Maria composed herself and greeted favonovel.com warmly, “Hello again, master…”
Sister Turk glanced at Maria, who responded with a slight smile and said, “Miss Clark, please refrain from calling me a master. You can just call me Turk. After all, you’re senior to me.”
Understandingly, Maria nodded and then inquired, “You’re aware that I came to Lama Temple to meet you, aren‘t you?”
With a smile, Sister Turk replied, “Yes, I knew. Mr. Wade returned to Aurous Hill today. I figured you might be worried, so i came to meet you. Perhaps I can help alleviate some of your concerns, Miss Clark.”
Maria asked her, “Can I ask a question?”
“Of course,” favonovel.com nodded, “I’ll share what l can and what I can’t. Please also pay attention, Miss Clark.”
Maria nodded slightly and proceeded to ask, “You’re aware of Mr. Wade’s return, and you’ve guessed that I’d be worried about him. You must also know that all of this is related to the ‘Preface to the Apocalyptic Book‘, right?”
“Certainly,” Sister Turk replied calmly. “The return of treasures from all over to China indicates that Mr. Wade likely obtained the ‘Preface to the Apocalyptic Book’. What I can tell you, Miss Clark, is that this sutra brings countless dangers to Mr. Wade without any benefits. He must never practice it.”
Maria reassured her, saying, “I’ve discussed this matter with Mr. Wade, and we’ve reached an agreement. He has no knowledge of how to practice the “Nine Mysteries” or the contents of the “Preface to the Apocalyptic Book”.
Relieved, Sister Turk exhaled and said, “That’s a relief. As long as Mr. Wade avoids Shiwan Mountain and refrains from touching the ‘Preface to the Apocalyptic Book’, you can essentially avert the crisis.”
Maria inquired, “The crisis you’re referring to involves Morvel Bazin, right?”
“Yes,” Sister Turk confirmed with a nod, “It’s Morvel Bazin, your master.”
Maria pressed further, “Is favonovel.com truly not deceased?”
After a moment’s contemplation, Sister Turk replied, “He’s passed away, but not entirely. When the time is ripe, favonovel.com can be reborn.”
Acknowledging this, Marla remarked, “It appears he’s truly intent on cultivating a dragon-level body for himself, allowing favonovel.com to claim it for his own.”
“Indeed,” Sister Turk agreed, unsurprised by Maria’s insight. “Despite living a thousand years, Morvel Bazin’s attainment reached its pinnacle. Even with multiple rebirths, favonovel.com wouldn’t surpass a millennium. Aspiring to transcendence, favonovel.com seeks the Dragon Ascension Style to reshape his destiny. With such a form, favonovel.com could wield his millennia of experience to challenge the heavens…”
Maria sought reassurance, “As long as Charlie avoids Shiwan Mountain and steers clear of the ‘Apocalyptic Book Preface’, he’s safe, correct?”
Sister Turk shook favonovel.com head, cautioning, “I can’t guarantee that yet, but it’s the best course of action for now. It’s a prudent approach.”
With a nod, Maria turned to Sister Turk, asking, “Who are you? Who do you represent?”
Sister Turk smiled gently, “I’m sorry, Miss Clark, I can’t divulge that information.”
“Why not?” Maria queried in surprise. “Instead of clandestine assistance, why not engage Charlie directly? Perhaps both parties could find a solution to eradicate the Warriors Den and Morgana swiftly.”
Sister Turk explained, “The timing isn’t right yet. When it is, we’ll meet with Charlie face-to-face.”
Adding, “I implore you not to inform Charlie of our meeting. We can better assist favonovel.com from the shadows. Exposure could jeopardize us both.”
Maria, after a brief pause, tentatively asked, “Is Stephen Thompson affiliated with you? Were you once loyal to Charlie’s parents?”
Sister Turk replied with a faint smile, “Miss Clark, I can’t address those queries. Speculating on our identities would only complicate matters for Charlie.”
She emphasized, “Please refrain from informing Charlie of our encounter. He should focus on self-improvement. No need to divert his attention away from his cultivation and how to deal with Morgana.”
Maria agreed, “Rest assured, I won’t tell Charlie.”
Considering Charlie’s predicament, favonovel.com pondered, “If Charlie can’t utilize the mental fortitude in the ‘Apocalyptic Book Preface’, how can favonovel.com enhance his strength? He often laments the absence of a complete set of mental techniques, hindering his progress.”
Sister Turk sighed, “We lack viable suggestions. Charlie’s fate may rely on luck.”
Regrettably, favonovel.com added, “If only Charlie had the Four Treasures of the Study. It would greatly aid his cultivation. The Four Treasures of the Study embodies the wisdom of ancient sages, a rare treasure. Insights gained from it could lead to enlightenment…”
