“The second improper aspect is that Madam Ye left to let the young master focus fully on his revenge. The young master ignores this and only wants to find her. But have you thought, even if you find Madam Ye now, what then? It would not only waste her hard efforts but might also expose Butler Tang and his entire camp behind him through your open search and contact. That means you and they are all hiding carefully in the shadows to avoid Wu Feiyan’s discovery. But the young master charges ahead and uncovers their hiding. I think that is still very dangerous.”
Lin Wan’er’s words opened a new dimension for Ye Chen to view the problem.
Tang Sihai and the others were definitely his allies.
And now, everyone was lurking under the enemy’s nose. If no one acted rashly, they could all stay safe for the time being. But if he sought them out rashly, or even found them, it might give the enemy a chance to wipe them all out.
At this point, Lin Wan’er struck while the iron was hot and said, “Young master, in my view, Madam Ye is safest now. Otherwise, if she were still in Jinling, once the young master is exposed, she would be exposed immediately and in extreme danger. If the young master adjusts and treats raising his cultivation and dealing with Wu Feiyan as the top priority, her safety would be more assured. Why get entangled in endless internal friction with Madam Ye and Butler Tang at this time?”
Ye Chen felt as if a bucket of cold water had awakened him. He sighed, “Miss Lin is right. I did not put the big picture first.”
Lin Wan’er said softly, “Young master, no need to feel annoyed. Truly adjusting is what matters most.”
Ye Chen asked her, “Miss Lin, in your opinion, what should I do now?”
Lin Wan’er pursed her lips and thought for a moment. Then she suddenly looked up and said, “Young master, how about I accompany you to Northern Europe again? While the aurora can still be seen there now.”
Ye Chen asked in surprise, “To Northern Europe? You mean, to see if the aurora has more hints?”
Lin Wan’er nodded firmly. “The polar region of Northern Europe is utterly silent. Plus, there are no other residents around the royal holiday home, and tourists are not allowed near. There, the young master would not only have a chance to see new hints from the aurora but could also seclude there and surely calm his mind. If I go with you, and you seclude, I can at least take care of some things.”
Ye Chen asked her, “Do you think the thing or person manipulating the aurora is still there now?”
Lin Wan’er murmured, “I have a feeling, but it is not confirmed yet.”
Ye Chen asked, “What feeling?”
Lin Wan’er looked at Ye Chen and said something startling, “I think the thing that manipulated the aurora that day is not there. It is on the young master.”
“What?!”
Ye Chen widened his eyes and blurted out, “On me? How so?”
Lin Wan’er said seriously, “The aurora is a natural phenomenon produced by high-energy charged particles interacting with Earth’s magnetic field and upper atmosphere. In other words, the aurora is like fine sand falling from the sky. It is easily influenced by subtle energies to change its path and shape. Young master, have you seen a movie called Interstellar?”
Ye Chen nodded. “Yes.”
Lin Wan’er explained, “From what I have learned these years, the underlying logic of that movie has scientific basis. When the protagonist is in higher-dimensional space trying to send a message to his daughter, he uses the fine dust in the room. In my view, being in higher dimensions, his energy is hard to transmit stably to three-dimensional space, so he can only try to influence that particularly fickle fine dust that is easily changed by small forces.”
“So, if we apply this logic, the aurora is like the fine dust, a good way to transmit information across dimensions.”
Ye Chen suddenly understood and asked her, “You mean, it is not that something under the aurora in Northern Europe is reminding me. Instead, something in my body or around me normally lacks a suitable carrier to send those messages to me. But when we were under the aurora, it happened to give it a good chance to transmit?”
“Exactly!” Lin Wan’er nodded firmly with some joy and said, “That is my deduction. Perhaps it is the ring left by my father, or some other opportunity reminding the young master. That is why I want to go with you to the polar region of Northern Europe again to verify if this deduction is right or wrong!”
