Chapter 5508

Maria’s words set off a subtle alarm in Charlie’s mind. He couldn’t resist asking Maria, “Do you suspect
there’s something off about her identity?”

Maria nodded thoughtfully and asserted, “I have encountered accomplished Buddhist Masters in the past
and they all shared a common trait, they strictly adhered to Buddhist teachings in their lives, quoting
scriptures and drawing wisdom from Buddhist principles in their daily conduct and speech. To put it
simply, they lived in accordance with Buddhism. However, this Master, except for Amitabha, rarely
mentioned Buddhism. This discrepancy makes me wonder if she’s a genuine nun.”

Charlie’s vigilance heightened instantly. He remarked, “If she’s not a real nun, then she’s concealing
herself as a nun, awaiting our arrival. Whether friend or foe, there’s certainly an external force behind her
besides the Warriors Den.”

Maria nodded gravely. “But, Young Master, don’t be overly concerned. I believe they’re not hostile and
there’s a good chance they hold some grudge against the Warriors Den. ‘The enemy of my enemy is my
friend,’ as the saying goes. However, they’re still cautious around us, or there could be other reasons
preventing them from revealing their true identities at the moment.”

Charlie fell into contemplation for a moment and inquired, “What Greek mythology did she mention?”

Maria, cautious not to divulge too much, replied, “She spoke of the tale of Achilles, emphasizing that
even the strongest could meet their downfall if they’re not careful.”

Charlie, without delving further into the matter, made a firm decision. “Let’s turn back and investigate.”

Surprised, Maria asked, “Young Master, do you intend to visit Greenwood Nunnery?”

“Yes.” Charlie affirmed, “I want to discover who they are, why they possess such knowledge about us
and why they’ve adopted nun disguises to await us. Initially, they asserted Buddhism’s sanctity and



denied us entry. It’s only right that I respect their wishes. But now, it’s evident that they may not truly be
Buddhists. It’s better to confront them directly.”

Maria hesitated momentarily and then consented, “If the Young Master wishes to investigate, I will
accompany you. Just exercise caution and avoid inadvertently turning potential allies into adversaries.”

Charlie nodded, resolute. “I simply want to know who they are. If there’s a chance to become friends due
to a shared adversary, we should be open and honest. Keeping secrets would be shameful.”

Maria concurred with Jagoan’s perspective, perturbed by the other party’s secrecy despite their
knowledge of her and Jagoan’s backgrounds.

Thus, the two of them retraced their steps and descended the mountain, heading straight for Greenwood
Nunnery.

Passing the Y-shaped intersection, Jagoan and Maria continued along the path. After a while, Jagoan
furrowed his brow and remarked, “There’s no one left at Greenwood Nunnery.”

“Ahh?” Maria exclaimed in surprise. “Did you use your aura to confirm?”

“Yes,” Jagoan confirmed, “There’s no one left, they’ve probably departed.”

“This…” Maria furrowed her brow. “When I left, I looked back several times, but I didn’t spot anyone
coming down the mountain.”

After Jagoan conducted a more extensive aura sweep, he concluded, “There’s a path behind the
mountain.”

Regretfully, Maria confessed, “It’s my oversight. I should’ve thought of that.”

Jagoan offered a small, reassuring smile. “No worries. Since they’re gone, let’s head up and investigate.
Maybe we can find some clues.”



Maria proposed, “Shall I ask Keagan to help us gather surveillance information from nearby towns?”

Jagoan shrugged, skeptical. “You can try, but I doubt it’ll yield much. These individuals are different from
Morgana, who’s inherently suspicious. This time, she came to Shiwan alone, unaccompanied, making it
challenging to cover her tracks. In contrast, these people appear to be working as a team and came well-
prepared. I doubt they left any traces behind.”

“That’s true…” Maria sighed and acknowledged, “They likely anticipated our arrival in advance and made
preparations within Greenwood Nunnery.”

Maria then had an idea. “We can inquire about Greenwood Nunnery from the locals. Perhaps we can
unearth some clues.”

Jagoan agreed. “Let’s proceed and take a look first.”

Upon arriving at the main entrance of Greenwood Nunnery, they found the door closed. However, when
Jagoan gently pushed it, the door creaked open.

Stepping inside, Jagoan noticed the thick wooden door bolt and furrowed his brow. “It seems they were
aware of our arrival and left the door open intentionally.”

Maria wore a worried expression and murmured, “They’ve calculated every step we’ve taken.”

Jagoan self-deprecatingly chuckled and commented, “I thought I was well hidden, but it turns out they
know everything. What’s baffling is how they calculate it all.”

Maria, somewhat disheartened, admitted, “I’ve never had any cultivation in over three hundred years. My
confidence has always been in my intellect. Now it seems I can’t match up to them.”

Jagoan offered a comforting smile. “It’s normal. Two fists are no match for four hands, especially if
there’s a formidable organization backing them. With so many people working together, it’s difficult for



the two of us to stay ahead.”

Maria, although somewhat consoled by Jagoan’s words, still appeared shaken.

Changing the subject, Jagoan said, “Let’s go inside and investigate.”

“Agreed,” Maria replied, following Jagoan inside.

Greenwood Nunnery was rather modest in size, comprising two courtyards, one in front and one in the
rear. The front yard had side halls on either side and a main hall in the center. A small courtyard behind
the main hall featured three tile-roofed houses.

Jagoan and Maria first examined the side halls, where they found little beyond a few Buddha statues.

In the main hall, an evergreen lamp continued to burn, with three sticks of sandalwood almost reduced to
ashes in the incense burner.

Jagoan examined the incense burner, gauged the length of the remaining ash and commented, “These
three sticks of sandalwood seem quite long. They’ve likely been burning for over an hour.”

Maria calculated the time. “From the time I left the house, met you, explained everything and we
journeyed up the mountain and back down… it has indeed been an hour.”

Jagoan concurred, “These three sticks of incense were lit when you left. They predicted our arrival.”

Closing his eyes, Jagoan inhaled the sandalwood’s fragrance deeply and sighed, “This sandalwood
aroma is extraordinary, better than any I’ve encountered.”

Maria agreed, “I was about to say the same… This sandalwood is truly exceptional. As a connoisseur of
tea and fragrances, I’ve encountered some excellent aged sandalwood, but none have matched this
scent. It’s rich, deep and subtly sweet.”



Jagoan couldn’t help but marvel, “It seems they’ve calculated every step, even predicting that you’d
notice something was amiss and that we’d turn back. These three sticks of incense were undoubtedly lit
for us.”
