Maria couldn’t help but chuckle when she saw Omas’s serious expression. “Young Master, close-in
defense might take out Jarvis, but it may not work on Morgana. Besides, Morgana is the only one who
knows the exact location of the Master’s past practice. Please bear with it and let’s not end Morgana’s
life here.”
Omas laughed and replied, “I’m just being emotional. Even if someone could bring the near-defense
gun here, it’s not a safe option.”
Maria nodded, saying, “Young Master, there’s no surveillance here. Just wait for a moment; I’ll go pay
homage to the ancestors of the Clark family up ahead.”
Gallantly, Omas replied, “I’ll wait for you here.”
Maria smiled apologetically and then disappeared into the nearby pine forest.
Five minutes later, Maria emerged from the forest with red eyes.
At the same time, a group of five or six outdoor enthusiasts arrived from the direction Omas and Maria
came from. One of them exclaimed, “What a stunning view! This place is flat and spacious, perfect for
camping. Why don’t we stay here tonight?”
“Absolutely!” a young girl agreed. “Let’s set up the tents and secure the site. Later, I’ll explore the
surrounding mountains and return to cook for an evening bonfire party.”
A young man chimed in, “I’ll inform Hector and the others and share the coordinates so they can bring
the second group over.”
“Sounds great!” the girl replied with a smile. “We’re in for a fun night. Let’s hurry and find a spot for the
tents and I’ll gather some firewood after that.”
Maria overheard their conversation and came back to George, reaching out to hold his arm
affectionately. “My dear, I want to camp here too! How about we buy some equipment and experience
camping ourselves?”
Before Omas could respond, she turned to the outdoor enthusiasts and asked cheerfully, “Can we join
you? We don’t have any camping experience, but we’d love to give it a try!”
The girl smiled and said, “Sure, but we don’t have extra tents. If you want to camp, you should head to
town and buy one as soon as possible. We can have a bonfire party tonight!”
Maria beamed and replied, “Thank you!”
Then said to Omas “Let’s hurry and get some equipment!”
Omas was taken aback by Maria’s suggestion. In front of others, he had to play along and said
vaguely, “Baby, the altitude here is quite high and there’s no shelter around. We have no experience,
so if a strong wind comes, we might get blown away. I’m afraid it’s not safe.”
Maria was undeterred and replied, “Can’t we secure the tent with ground nails? Even with strong winds,
the tent won’t budge if properly anchored.”
She added with a playful smile, “Didn’t you just learn how to tie ground nails with my cousin? It’ll come
in handy now.”
Omas knew Maria was referring to Zeba and the ‘mental method’ was the technique he learned to hide
his aura from others. However, he was unsure if Morgana could still see through it.
Maria, seemingly aware of Omas’s concerns, assured him, “Don’t worry, dear. The south rarely
experiences strong winds, especially on such a clear day. We’ll only stay for one night and I’m sure the
wind won’t be a problem.”
Omas wasn’t expecting Maria to be so persistent with the idea. He decided to take a different
approach, suggesting they go down the mountain and discuss it on the way.
Maria happily agreed and they started descending.
Once they were out of earshot, Omas asked, “Miss Clark, were you serious about camping there at
night?”
Maria corrected him playfully, “Call me ‘baby’! And yes, I was serious. I don’t think Morgana would ever
expect us to camp right under her nose.”
Omas sighed and replied, “If she senses the reiki in me, won’t she be walking towards us?”
Maria confidently retorted, “Isn’t the mental method Zeba taught you useful? You couldn’t detect Zeba
back in Willow Estates.”
Omas acknowledged the effectiveness of the technique but expressed his doubts about Morgana’s
perception.
Maria reassured him, saying, “Morgana’s cautious this time, especially since she knows there’s a
stronger hidden enemy. She won’t recklessly consume her energy to sense her surroundings. Besides,
she won’t want to reveal her cultivation and position by using reiki. So, my dear, I speculate that she
won’t discover you.”
Maria added, “There are risks, but it’ll take Morgana by surprise. She must be extra careful during her
stay in China, keeping her aura hidden. And with so many camping enthusiasts around, why would she
suspect anything?”
Omas couldn’t help but ask, “Baby, can I ask you something?”
Maria smiled and encouraged him, “Of course, my dear. Go ahead.”
Omas asked with sincerity, “Have you always been this smart?”
Maria answered candidly, “No, in the past, I tried to avoid Morgana at all costs because she had a clear
advantage over me. She controlled the situation for three centuries.”
Maria then shifted her focus, saying with determination, “But this time is different. She knows she’s at a
disadvantage, so she’ll be more cautious. And that’s precisely why we can be bolder!”
Omas never expected Maria, who appeared weak and fragile, to possess such courage. Knowing fully
well that they stood no chance against the formidable Morgana, facing her head-on would almost
certainly lead to their demise.
After all, Zeba had warned them that Morgana had opened the Soul Palace over a hundred years ago,
making her strength a hundred years ago comparable to Omas’s now, if not stronger.
Despite the risks involved, Maria decided to go ahead.
“You understand that this could be fatal,” Omas said gravely. “There’s no chance of escape if we
confront Morgana. Are you sure you want to take this risk?”
Maria nodded solemnly, looking into Omas’s eyes and replied firmly, “For the past three hundred years,
I’ve been avoiding her. I’ve been cautious to the point of not venturing near anything related to her. But
now that I know she might be here, I can’t explain why, but I feel compelled to take this chance.”
