Hero of heart The amazing son in law complete
Chapter 7392
Seeing that Margaret An still had concerns, Maria Lin couldn’t help but ask, “Mrs. Wade, is there still a way for Meng Changsheng to escape the Blood Lake Hell?”
Margaret An shook her head. “According to that Taoist priest, Meng Changsheng’s spirit can’t leave the Blood Lake Hell after he was eliminated. But I’m still worried. Meng Changsheng has been planning this for hundreds of years. He shouldn’t allow himself to be passive. I’m afraid he has another ultimate move.”
Maria Lin suddenly remembered something and asked, “Mrs. Wade, is there something strange about the ring I gave Charlie? What if it can transport him to the Shiwan Mountains?”
Margaret An said, “It shouldn’t have been like that. If something had gone wrong, it wouldn’t have saved Charlie’s life in the first place.”
As she spoke, Margaret An explained, “Senior, I’ve always felt that the power of that ring is extraordinary. It can teleport a living person directly to another person. Since it possesses this ability, the person who refined this ring should be able to refine a ring that triggers itself, then teleport themselves anywhere at will.”
“How could a cultivator with a thousand years of life expectancy possibly create this? If Meng Changsheng had such abilities, he would have probably found a way to extend his lifespan to fifteen hundred years long ago.”
“Even if he takes a step back, he doesn’t need to take the trouble to lure Charlie into the Shiwan Mountains. He can simply refine a magic weapon and let it circulate with the Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures.”
“Once the magic weapon encounters someone with Shenglong Pavilion, it will instantly teleport that person to the Shiwan Mountains for its possession. Wouldn’t everything be much easier?”
Maria Lin suddenly understood and agreed, “Mrs. Wade’s words make perfect sense. That ring can teleport a living person thousands of miles away. Such a power is truly unimaginable.”
“This shouldn’t be a magic weapon refined by Meng Changsheng himself. He most likely obtained it by chance, and he probably doesn’t even know that this ring has teleportation capabilities.”
“Otherwise, since he had already decided to take over another body and reincarnate, this magic weapon would naturally be kept for his own use after reincarnating.”
Margaret An asked her, “Did your father ever mention Meng Changsheng’s legacy?”
“Inheritance?” Maria Lin frowned and said, “My father said Meng Changsheng had many magical tools, most of which he kept in his own secret room. My father never thought to look for them, so after taking care of his funeral, he didn’t think to look for them.”
Margaret An nodded. “Meng Changsheng has been practicing for thousands of years, so he must have many elixirs and magical tools. However, your father and Victoria only received two Evergreen Pills and a ring. I don’t think these items are important to Meng Changsheng. If he knew how magical this ring was, he would never have given it to your father.”
Maria Lin sighed, “Based on this conclusion, the ring must have been forged by a more powerful cultivator. Master obtained it by chance, but has yet to fully understand its powers.”
At this point, he frowned and muttered, “He told my father that this ring holds the secret to living for a thousand years. Perhaps it was from this ring that he obtained the recipe for the Hundred Refinements Pill, which allowed him to achieve the breakthrough from five hundred years to a thousand years.”
“Since then, he has been in seclusion in the Hundred Thousand Mountains and has never encountered any real danger, so he has not had the opportunity to explore more of the secrets of this ring.”
Margaret An agreed and said, “I think your analysis makes sense. Meng Changsheng accidentally obtained the ring and obtained the elixir from it, so he thought the ring had lost its efficacy.”
“However, he has already refined the Evergreen Pill. To him, whatever elixir is left is meaningless.”
“Giving it to your father and Victoria was as easy as an adult giving two children peanut butter. The potion became useless trash, and the ring became useless chicken ribs. So he simply gave it to your father and Victoria.”
Maria Lin smiled bitterly, “Now it seems that he is not only cruel and sadistic, but he also tends to be stingy.”
After saying that, he waved his hand and said with a smile, “It doesn’t matter. As long as the ring doesn’t harm you, that’s enough.”
Margaret An nodded and smiled, “It’s all fate. He bequeathed the ring to your father as a gesture of kindness to this disciple. He passed down the Preface of the Nine Profound Scriptures and the Nine Profound Heavenly Scriptures as a grand strategy for his rebirth.”
“It’s like a murderer who, before going to kill his target, sees a child fall in a doorway, helps him up, then draws his gun and kills several people in quick succession. From his personal perspective, the child and his target are two independent individuals, without any subjective connection.”
After a pause, Margaret An continued, “Senior, please remind Charlie to find a way to learn the secret of the ring!”
“Madam, don’t worry. I’ll remind you every now and then.” Maria Lin agreed without hesitation, then asked, “Madam Wade, who is the identity of the Taoist priest you mentioned?”
Margaret An shook her head and said, “I don’t know either. He suddenly appeared to remind me, but he didn’t reveal any useful information. However, he did tell me that the reason he stayed in the Shiwan Mountains was to find a way to break the sinful Blood Lake Hell Formation.”
Maria Lin said with relief, “This could be considered a potential ally, Young Master. Perhaps he can help you in the future.”
“Yes,” said Margaret An, “Maybe one day, Charlie will be able to accept her guidance too.”
Maria Lin nodded, looked at the clock, and said, “Mrs. Wade, it’s getting late. I should get ready to go back. A young girl has been there for a while. If anyone had been paying attention, they might have noticed something.”
As she spoke, Maria Lin laughed at herself again and said, “I’ve always been shy and cautious. I was just making fun of Mrs. Wade.”
Margaret An didn’t think Maria Lin was shy at all. Instead, she said seriously, “Senior, you’re absolutely right. We should never be careless about anything. Many people’s careers have been ruined by just one or two careless mistakes.”
“Senior, you are alone, yet you have made Victoria search in vain for over three hundred years. This alone makes me bow down to you. I am truly honored to be able to speak openly and meet you face to face today!”
Maria Lin smiled faintly, slowly stood up, bowed slightly, and said, “Mrs. Wade, you are truly kind.”
When Margaret An and the people around her saw Maria Lin standing, they immediately stood up with respectful expressions on their faces.
Margaret An plucked up courage and said to Maria Lin, “Senior, I have a favor to ask of you. I hope you can help me.”
Maria Lin nodded: “Mrs. Wade, please speak.”
Margaret An said respectfully, “Before this junior meets Charlie and his family, I hope that you, senior, will not tell Charlie about our meeting before this junior and I get to know each other.”
Maria Lin agreed without hesitation, saying, “Don’t worry, Mrs. Wade. We’ve both been in hiding for a long time, and I understand how you feel. I will never reveal a word to you, Young Master.”
Maria Lin knows that family affection often influences a person’s rationality and judgment. This was true for Margaret An, and even more so for Charlie.
Over the years, she had raised so many children and had a mother-daughter relationship with most of them, but she never said it or showed it. She always kept a distance from these children in her heart.
Moreover, for hundreds of years, he had maintained a hierarchy of masters and slaves among them.
Even old men like Lao Parker, Lao Sun, and Sarangshan who were in their eighties still had to respectfully call her “Miss” in her presence.
These were the rules that Maria Lin set for them, and also the safe distance that Maria Lin kept between them and herself.
Hearing Maria Lin’s agreement, he breathed a sigh of relief and was filled with gratitude. He bowed to Maria Lin and said solemnly and respectfully, “Thank you, Senior, for your help!”
Maria Lin smiled and sighed, “I did a fortune-telling for you earlier, Young Master, and that hexagram indicated a life-and-death situation, with the gates of life and death controlled by one person.”
“I never knew who that person was, but today I discovered it was me. Before I came here, I was still hesitant to share my analysis with you, Young Master, but after much hesitation, I decided to come and investigate. Now it seems I’ve chosen the gates of death.”
Margaret An couldn’t help but sigh, “Senior, you are a strategist and very wise. If I could ally with you and secretly help Charlie, it would definitely be very beneficial to Charlie. What do you think, Senior?”
Maria Lin didn’t give a clear answer, but smiled and said, “After talking so much with Mrs. Wade, I can’t go back. If you find out about this and blame me later, I just ask that you put in a few good words for me and don’t let her hold a grudge against me.”
Margaret An immediately understood and immediately understood Maria Lin’s thoughts.
In Maria Lin’s heart, Victoria’s life or death no longer mattered. She only cared about Charlie now. Nothing else mattered.
At that moment, his heart was filled with mixed emotions, but he quickly recovered and said gratefully, “Thank you for your help, Senior. I’ll exchange contact information with you so we can stay in touch if anything happens in the future.”
As she spoke, Margaret An took out her phone and said to Maria Lin, “Senior, to avoid any risks, I’ve removed the front and rear cameras, microphone, and GPS module. So, I can’t make voice or video calls, but I can communicate via text messages.”
“Alright.” Maria Lin smiled and said, “Madam, please agree on a code of conduct with me. For example, what will represent Young Mr. Lin, and what will represent Victoria and the Warriors’ Den Society.”
Margaret An smiled and said, “I would rather you solve this problem, senior.”
Maria Lin was having fun joking around and said with a smile, “After I get back, I’ll have someone buy a cat to keep in the yard. We’ll name it Xiaoxiao.”
“When Madam and I talk about Xiaoxiao, we’ll also talk about you, the Warriors’ Den Society, and the large group of stray cats that live near Zijin Villa. Victoria would call him the King of the Black Forest.”
“The King of the Black Forest?” Margaret An asked in surprise, her eyes wide. “Could that be a character from the cartoons Charlie watched as a child? He looks like a really mean cat?”
“That’s right.” Maria Lin nodded and smiled, “It’s the naughty cat who always wears an octagonal hat!”
Margaret An couldn’t help but laugh out loud, and the look in her eyes when she looked at Maria Lin was actually a little more loving.
At this moment, the clever and almost devil-like Maria Lin completely transformed into a unique little girl in his eyes…
