A momentter, the little monk came running to the temple gate with a bag in his arms.


    Lin Wan’er (ni), with her twin ponytails, was tiptoeing and yfully pacing back and forth at the temple entrance, as if she was having fun with herself.


    Huaiyi came closer and whispered, “Miss Zhengping, the abbot wants to see you. Please follow me.”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) nodded and smiled, “Master, please lead the way.”


    When Lin Wan’er (ni) followed Huaiyi into the Golden Pavilion, Kongyin had already asked Yuancheng to help him to the door of the main hall.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    He said to Andre, “Andre, please leave. Tell everyone to leave the main hall within a radius of 100 meters and no one is allowed to enter.”


    Master Andre asked with concern, “Master, are you okay on your own?”


    “Okay.” Master Kongyin nodded and said, “You can leave.”


    Master Andre said respectfully, “Yes, Master. I will withdraw first.”


    After saying that, he turned and left, leaving Kong Yin standing alone at the door, hunched over, looking anxiously.


    On the other side, Jingqing left the main hall and came to the courtyard provided by Kinkaku-ji Temple to Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) and his party.


    Jing Qing entered the courtyard. Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) was chatting with Stephen Thompson, Sister Sun and the others. Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) had brewed a pot of good tea and was serving it to the two of them with a Kung Fu cup. Seeing Jing Qinging, she smiled and said, “Jing Qing, Master Kongyin let you back so early today? Sit down and have a cup of tea.”


    These days, Jing Qing would debate with Master Kongyin until noon every day. Today he came back an hour earlier than usual, which was indeed a bit abnormal.


    Jing Qing smiled slightly and said, “Madam, just now two monks from the temple came over and shouted outside the main hall, but they spoke in Japanese the whole time. I didn’t understand what they were saying. Master Kongyin was very emotional and asked me to help him out of the temple. I don’t know what exactly happened.”


    Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) asked in surprise, “Master Kongyin is over a hundred years old. What could have made him so emotional?”


    Jing Qing shook his head slightly: “I don’t know about this either.”


    Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) asked in confusion: “You didn’t help him over?”


    “No.” Jing Qing said truthfully, “Then Master Kongyin gave instructions to his two disciples and asked me to return first.”


    Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) felt something was amiss, so he said to Sister Sun, “Sister Sun, ask our secret sentry if they’ve noticed anything unusual.”


    Sister Sun nodded, turned and walked away a few steps, gently pulled out the microphone of the walkie-talkie from her cor, pressed the call button, and asked a few questions softly.


    After hearing the answer, her expression suddenly froze. She immediately came over to Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) in a panic and said, “Madam, the sentry said that a Japanese girl just came to the temple gate. She looked young and waited at the door for a while. Now she has been taken in by the temple’s novice monk…”


    Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) had just picked up a purple y teacup for Jing Qing when he heard this. His hand suddenly shook and the teacup fell from his fingertips. With a bang, it hit the tea tray and broke into scattered pieces.


    A look of horror shed across her face, and she asked Sister Sun, “Who did you think it was?”


    Sister Sun’s face was covered in cold sweat. She said anxiously, panicked, and filled with shame, “Madam… I’m worried it’s Lin Wan’er (ni)…”


    Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) smiled bitterly: “I think the same as you…”


    Sister Sun was instantly thrown into disarray. In all these years, they had never been approached by anyone. This felt like the crew of the Titanic, confident that their ship would never sink, only to turn around and hear a voice shouting, “It’s over! We hit an iceberg!”


    Jing Qing was also panicked and said quickly, “Madam, this Lin Wan’er (ni)…could she be here for you? Otherwise…or should we cover your evacuation first?”


    “Yes, ma’am!” Sister Sun also said, “While she’s looking for the abbot, we still have time to leave. I just found out that the person who came is Lin Wan’er (ni) herself!”


    Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) shook his head andughed self-deprecatingly, “If Lin Wan’er (ni) hade looking for me, there would have been no point in me hiding any longer. You have to understand that she came on her own this time, which means she hasn’t told Chen’er about her discovery yet. Otherwise, if Chen’er hade with her, with his level of cultivation, we would have been exposed long ago.”


    Jing Qing, Sister Sun and Stephen Thompson all looked dejected.


    They also knew that if Lin Wan’er (ni) really came to find them, there would be no point in hiding anymore. Lin Wan’er (ni) came here on her own to send a signal, saying, “Don’t be anxious, let’s talk face to face first.” If they ignored this signal, then next time, Lin Wan’er (ni) might bring Ye Chen to find them.


    Stephen Thompson was still struggling. “Madam, even if Lin Wan’er (ni) discovered us, she would definitely not know you existed. Why don’t you hide first and let your subordinates go to see her?”


    “It’s useless.” Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) smiled and said, “Lin Wan’er (ni) is so clever she’s practically a demon. Sara hasn’t been able to catch her for hundreds of years. Chen’er fought her for just a few rounds before she came after him. If you go see her, she won’t believe you’re the mastermind. The rest of usbined haven’t lived as long as she has. Besides, it’s unrealistic to try to trick her after she’s alreadye to your door.”


    After saying this, Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) sighed and said seriously, “Now that things havee to this, there’s no point in resisting in vain if we’re outmatched. Just wait. If Lin Wan’er (ni) is really here to see me, it won’t be long before she sends someone to invite us over. Then I’ll have a frank chat with her!”


    Jing Qing subconsciously released his spiritual energy and sensed that Lin Wan’er (ni) was approaching the entrance to the main hall courtyard. He immediately said, “Madam, I will use my spiritual energy to investigate and monitor Lin Wan’er (ni)’s every move!”


    “No need for that.” Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ) waved his hand and said seriously, “It’s really not fair to try these little tricks at this time. I, Lydia (Ava) ( Charlie’s mom ), have lived an honest life and have never done anything wrong. Yet, like a homeless rat, I’ve been hiding in the shadows around the world for twenty years. It’s not a bad thing to be honest with Lin Wan’er (ni) today!”<fn50fb> ?????? ???? find{n}ovel</fn50fb>
