Vera had always been puzzled by why Charlie had been unexpectedly kind to her since the moment he was suddenly brought to the top floor of Scarlet Pinnacle Manor by the ring. He not only gave her a share of all of his pills but also promised longer lives to Mr. Raven and the others. Charlie had even put down everything he had on hand in order to accompany her all the way to Yorkshire Hill. All she wanted was to visit her parents' graves on Mount Twint, but she didn't expect Charlie to buy Violet Group which owned Mount Twint directly. Charlie even planned to carry out large-scale renovations here to facilitate her future visits to her parents' graves.Vera herself was extremely wealthy as well, but in her opinion, Charlie’s actions were completely immeasurable by money. He must care a lot about her to be so attentive and meticulous.Vera's speculation was not wrong. Charlie did indeed care a lot about Vera. The debt of saving his life was naturally one aspect of it, and on the ot
Charlie, who was aside, then spoke up, “Okay then, Mr. Windsor, we'll leave it to you here. We have other matters to attend to, so we'll take our leave first.”Jeevan asked in surprise, “It's already dark now, so you don’t have to leave in such a hurry. I've arranged some good food and wine in the dining hall. Why don't you two eat something first? I'll take care of your accommodation tonight!”Charlie smiled faintly and said, “No need. Thank you for your kind offer, Mr. Windsor, but we really need to hit the road. We won't delay our time here any longer.”When Jeevan saw that the two had made up their minds to leave, he could only nod and say, “In that case, I won't keep you two distinguished guests any longer.”Charlie shook hands with him and led Vera to the car. In the darkness, the car drove away from Violet Group’s factory and headed toward Banna.It was not difficult to find the Heavenly Lake where Vera once lived. There was only one true Heavenly Lake in Banna named the Ja
Charlie nodded and said, “Then, let's park the car at the entrance of the village and walk down.”“Great!” Vera was already eager. After wandering around for more than three hundred years, this place was still her favorite, and it was the place she missed the most.Charlie followed Vera’s guidance and parked the car by the roadside a few hundred meters from the village entrance. He then grabbed the camping gear and walked down the hillside with Vera to the edge of Heavenly Lake below.Vera walked nearly two miles along the edge of Heavenly Lake under the moonlight and starlight, and she finally located the exact spot where the Mother of Pu’er Tea had grown.She pointed to a slightly elevated patch of barren yellow soil on the shore and said, “That spot should be where the Mother of Pu’er Tea originally grew.”After looking around, Charlie noticed that under the moonlight, the surroundings were filled with grass and trees except for this barren patch of land with a diameter of over
When Charlie saw Vera's horrified expression and noticed her rare nervousness as she spoke, he quickly asked her, “Miss Lavor, what do you think this is?!”Vera didn't speak. Her eyes were fixed on the rapidly thickening dark clouds in the sky. She murmured, “Well, these clouds seem chaotic, but there's a vague complex pattern to it. It feels… it feels like the Hexagram of Thunder from the Book of Changes and the Eight Diagrams…”“Hexagram of Thunder?” Charlie was shocked, and he exclaimed, “Do these clouds really represent a hexagram?”Vera nodded, murmuring, “The Hexagram of Thunder is always intricate. Ancient people would say ‘Thunder comes with trembling and laughter; it startles for miles without losing its essence’. When this hexagram appears, it signifies that something unexpected is about to happen, and it must be an earth-shattering event!”Charlie was even more surprised and couldn't help asking, “Who has the ability to use clouds in the sky for divination?”Vera looked
Vera instantly burst into tears. She pointed to the bare ground beneath her feet and said with extreme excitement and nervousness, “I know who is seeking help! It's her! It's the Mother of Pu’er Tea!”When Charlie heard this answer, he was even more puzzled. “Didn't the Mother of Pu’er Tea fail to overcome tribulation three hundred years ago? How could she be seeking help from us now?! Besides, she's just a tree, how could she use clouds in the sky to seek help from us?!”Vera murmured, “I don’t know the reason and I can understand your doubts, but I can feel that familiar feeling. It’s the Mother of Pu’er Tea…”Charlie said, “Okay. Let's assume you're right and it’s indeed the Mother of Pu’er Tea who is seeking help from us through the clouds. But what exactly does she need us to do? How can we help her?”Vera also felt anxious as she said, “I don't know… I can only sense that she's seeking help. This constantly changing hexagram gives me the feeling that she's trapped in this Hex
Vera's words shocked Charlie! He also felt that there were many coincidences in this situation. Why did such eerie dark clouds suddenly loom overhead? Why did the clouds also present the image of the Hexagram of Thunder? Why were there no thunder and lightning in the clouds? Why did it happen to appear where the Mother of Pu’er Tea failed to overcome her tribulation years ago? Moreover, he had just used the Thunderstrike wood formed by the Mother of Pu’er Tea's branch to create a brand new Thunder Order. With so many perplexing elements coming together, Vera's speculation was the only answer that could solve all the mysteries.With these thoughts in mind, Charlie blurted out without hesitation, “In that case, I'll summon a heavenly thunderbolt to these vast clouds!”Vera nodded vigorously, and her eyes were filled with anticipation as she said, “The Mother of Pu’er Tea and I have some connection. I hope you can lend her a hand, Young Master!”Charlie took out the Thunder Order
As the two of them stood still, the thunder at the center of the black clouds hung over the bare yellow soil.Just then, a bolt of lightning as thick as a bowl descended from the black clouds and struck the yellow soil directly.In an instant, the sky suddenly lit up as bright as day, and the sound of the thunder was so loud it felt like tons of explosives detonating right next to their ears, deafening them.Along with this lightning bolt, the heavy clouds that had been building up for a long time released a torrential downpour, with rainwater forming continuous lines from the sky to the ground.Charlie and Vera had nowhere to hide and were completely drenched from head to toe in an instant.Despite being soaked, Vera ignored it and hurried toward the patch of yellow soil where the Mother of Pu’er Tea had failed to overcome her tribulation.Charlie, taken aback by her actions, shouted, “It’s dangerous, don't go!”As he tried to pull Vera back, she showed no signs of retreat. She
At this moment, Vera's thoughts were focused entirely on the sapling in front of her. She knelt on the ground and looked at the sapling without blinking with a look of excitement on her face.Charlie, who was standing by her side, looked at the lush sapling, utterly perplexed.Charlie felt like his brain circuits weren't quite enough. He couldn't understand why after a heavy rain, all traces of the rainwater had vanished without a trace.The nine years of compulsory education he had received only left him with a few words in his mind at this moment: ‘This isn't scientific. This isn't scientific at all.’ He looked all over himself, from head to chest, from chest to back, from back to ankles. He even couldn't resist taking off his shoes and touching the insides of his shoes as well. However, everywhere his fingers touched was completely dry, without a trace of him having been exposed to the rain at all. The same went for Vera.Charlie vividly remembered that Vera's hair was somew
