Anne nodded, his expression turning smug. “What a coincidence! Aurous Hill is currently hosting a grand exhibition
of calligraphy and paintings and they are actively seeking exceptional artworks from across the country. I’ve been
creating a buzz in the major media outlets…”
“This painting, though lacking an attributed artist, displays remarkable skill and an extraordinary artistic conception.
From an artistic standpoint, it easily rivals the works of renowned painters throughout Chinese history. Once this
painting emerges, it will undoubtedly cause a sensation in the world of calligraphy and painting…”
“Morgana has been closely monitoring Aurous Hill, hasn’t she? The moment she catches wind of this painting, her
curiosity will be piqued and a multitude of questions will arise in her mind! She must be dying to know who brought
forth her Master’s portrait. And she must be yearning to unravel the connection between the person who presented
the painting of her master…”
“Could it be someone her Master accepted as a disciple in secret? If that’s the case, this person might be over five
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇthundred years old, having obtained the Millenium Pill and likely possessing greater strength than her!”
“Moreover, she must be desperate to find out why her two marshals, one dead and the other missing, coincided
with the emergence of the portrait in Aurous Hill. She’s probably keen on discovering whether the person who
unveiled the painting is the same one who forced Gideon to self-destruct. If so, why did that person survive Gideon’s
explosion? And she must be eager to understand why her Master passed away immediately after that,” Anne
continued.
“Furthermore, she must be burning with curiosity about the other party’s intentions. Is this person trying to convey
that they know everything about her, including her true identity as Morvel Bazin’s disciple?”
“When she reaches that train of thought, she will realize that the other party has unraveled all her past secrets! At
that point, this person will surely use a voice changer during their phone conversations.
Morgana, who is accustomed to playing the masterful puppeteer, will feel as helpless as an ant facing imminent
danger. The torment of not knowing what to do will eat at her. And that’s not even her biggest concern!”
“What truly keeps her awake at night is whether this person is trying to lure her to Aurous Hill with this act. Or
perhaps they’re baiting her to send more of her people to Aurous Hill, resulting in their demise?”
Anne sneered as he continued, “I can assure you that when Morgana is plagued with all these doubts, she will be
wary of Aurous Hill. I will instill fear in her. Do you think she dares to come? Even if her three elders have already
arrived in Aurous Hill, she will swiftly summon them back!”
Zeba, puzzled by matters of warfare and intrigue, confessed her lack of understanding. “Mr. Wade, I’m not well-
versed in the art of war or conspiracy. I’ve always had one question about the Empty City Strategy. If Sima had
150,000 soldiers and Zhuge opened the city gates, why didn’t he send 10,000 or even 20,000 troops to investigate
the situation?”
Anne smiled gently, ready to enlighten her. “Let me explain it this way. Imagine receiving a scam call where the
other person promises to double your entire fortune of 150,000 in just one day. Deep down, you know it’s a scam.
Would you willingly give them 10,000 or even 20,000 from your 150,000?”

Zeba was stunned for a moment, then blushed with embarrassment. “I understand… Thank you, Mr. Wade, for your
guidance. It seems my focus on cultivating has left me lagging behind in strategy…”
Maria gazed at Stefan, her eyes sparkling with amusement. She found him increasingly intriguing as an individual
blessed with talent, kindness, capability, a strong sense of justice and rarest of all, a great sense of humor.
With a smile, she remarked, “Young Master, if Morgana ever discovers your plot against her, she will be so furious
that she’ll lose twenty years of her life…”
Maria’s smile grew mischievous as she suggested, “Since you have such an impressive memory, why not inscribe a
few words on this painting? It would certainly enhance the effect.”
Stefan, amused, inquired, “What words do you suggest I inscribe?”
Maria’s smile widened as she proposed, “Why not inscribe Old Lord Morvel’s name and provide a brief biography?
Morvel Sharad, born in the first year of Linde during the Tang Dynasty. Later, he adopted a new name and became
known as Lord Morvel Bazin…”
