Seven Strings in Dreams

Chapter 138 She Can Wait

Monk’s Ali is a womanizer who likes to be on top.

In her eyes, power, status, strength and accomplishment are more important than anything else.

Her residence was built on a cliff. There was a special device for entering and exiting there on a daily basis, and outsiders were generally not allowed to come and go. There was a fixed person in charge of daily life. Others were not allowed to enter and leave at will.

The palace is now basically unused. It looks magnificent on the outside, but it is actually a cold and ruthless place. It was once the nightmare of many people.

Few people who came out of there were willing to talk about the past. Their hands were stained with blood since they were young, and those who died at their hands were the ones they cared about the most.

Killing puppets do not need emotions. At that time, the first task they took on was to kill the person they loved most, which could be a family member, a friend, or a lover. Emotional ties would only affect their execution of the task. Therefore, only by killing the most important people in their lives with their own hands can they truly become a tool for killing.

The killer is ruthless and does not care about life or death. He is fearless and only lives to carry out his mission.

Life is short, if you can't live for yourself, then you have lived in vain.

Monk's Ali never treated her subordinates as human beings. They were just pawns in her hands that could be discarded at any time.

Unfortunately, there were a few disobedient killers among them. They were out of control and even began to resist.

Those people even wanted to threaten the devil with Monk's life, but how could someone who hated Monk care about his life? Monk's death might be a relief. The fate of the mother and son might have ended long ago.

The saying that even a tiger won't eat its own cubs is not true for this mother and son.

Monk had seen through it a long time ago and accepted this fact. Rather than hoping that a heartless person would come back, it is better to give up the thought early.

It was because Monk had no illusions about Ali that he was able to survive.

Thanks to the power struggle between mother and son, Monk won.

Monk and his Ali are two completely different people.

Some people say that Monk's Ali developed an inner demon because he was stimulated and abandoned by a man, and was controlled by the inner demon and became more and more extreme.

But Monk doesn't think so.

Monk believed that even if she had not been abandoned or deceived by the man, she would still have become a tyrannical and murderous person.

A person with good intentions who has done so many wrong things will feel guilty and blame himself. If he still has a little conscience, he will not do such vicious things.

What Monk's Ali did in those years could no longer be described as ruthless.

But she was a fairly competent high priest. At least she treated her people well. She was able to weigh the pros and cons when doing things. Although she was not fair, she never wavered in protecting the Manta Tribe.

Of course, the Manta Tribe also gave her enough respect. And everything she did was ultimately to protect her own interests and status.

She implemented an iron-blooded policy and demanded absolute obedience. As long as you were obedient, you would thrive under her.

As for those who were disobedient, their bodies were destroyed. Some of those with good strength were refined into real puppets. Those who were neither obedient nor capable were taken to test drugs. In the end, the result was the same, life was worse than death, and death was actually a relief.

His Ali never thought there was anything wrong with what she did.

Even at the last moment, his good Ali still wanted to take over his adopted son.

As a son, Monk was once shaken by the fact that he could fight with Ali to the point of death.

It was just that repeated injuries forced Monk to take this path.

Fortunately, his Ali died at her own hands because she was possessed by evil spirits.

Monk did not need to bear the charge of matricide.

Monk kept the secret and no one else asked.

Most people wanted Monk to seize power and become the high priest. As for what happened between the mother and the son, it was not their place to know.

Even the supreme elders acquiesced. Even though some people still supported Monk's Ali, they had to accept reality in the end.

Because the successor chosen by the altar is the high priest they must support.

Since the altar chose Monk as the high priest, it was destiny.

Besides, the facts have proved that Monk is indeed a qualified high priest. It's just that Monk's behavior is more humane. In comparison, Monk has weaknesses and soft spots, and is not as decisive as his Ali.

Some old people were left to guard the palace on the cliff. Monk also adopted a group of children. Those children studied hard in the mountains, and when they finished their studies, it was the day for them to go down the mountain.

Those children lived on the cliff all year round. Once they chose to leave, they would never have the chance to return. The way in and out was controlled by the older generation. It was only a training ground.

Monk would go there every few years, select a group of talented people, and then send in a group of new people.

This place can be considered as a shelter for Munch.

When Monk first took over the position of high priest, many people advised him to continue living in the palace. It was designed by Monk Ali based on the temples recorded in ancient books, and it looked magnificent and majestic.

But Monk didn't like Ali's arrogant and flamboyant style, and even hated it. He always felt that the replica palace looked very weird. If you stay there for a long time, you will become suspicious.

Munch lived in the mountains since he was a child, and he liked mountains more.

When he was a child, he lived not far from the Yin Yang Taiji Pavilion. At that time, he thought that when he grew up, he would build a villa nearby.

He started building this villa when he was thirteen or fourteen years old. However, only a few of his men knew about it at that time, and he did not mention it to Wulan or anyone else because Monk wanted to give Wulan a surprise.

At that time, the people who followed Monk were not the eight guardians now. Now those people are in a semi-retired state.

Some of them went out to make a living, and would come back to recuperate for a while every year or so.

The rest were left in the other two places. With them watching over him, Monk could stay in Henglan Villa with peace of mind.

The palace on the cliff is called Wuxin Palace, and the cliff is called Jueqing Cliff. These are not named by Monk, but by his friend Ali.

The wind on the top of the mountain was biting cold, and the palace was hidden in the clouds all year round. The people living there became more and more lonely and cold-blooded.

Munch didn't like going there since he was a child. Munch didn't have much affection for it.

The third secret base is on a small island. Most of the people living there are descendants of successive high priests, as well as relatives of successive elders and guardians.

Although life on the island is hard and boring, it is simple and happy.

Munch gave the people living there the right to choose: they can choose to leave the island and go out to explore the world, or they can choose to stay on the island and live a simple and ordinary life.

It is a pure land in Munch's heart.

After Monk became the high priest, he went there less often because he was afraid that his whereabouts would be discovered and those people would no longer be able to continue their peaceful and comfortable lives.

Henglan Villa is a gift from Monk to the next high priest. Even if the other party doesn't like it, it can be used as a refuge. But now it seems that Linlang should like it here.

The name of Henglan Villa was given by Monk. After Linlang takes over, all that is needed is to change the name.

Henglan Villa is the home of the eight of them, and Linlang and the others will be the owners here in the future.

At this moment, Linlang, the future male owner of Henglan Villa, is arranging everything in an orderly manner.

Wu Na couldn't go forward and could only watch from a distance.

Linlang ordered someone to invite Zhuji, and he arranged all other matters personally.

There was ready-made food in the kitchen, and Linlang ordered someone to prepare some porridge. They returned to their respective residences and simply packed up. Zhuji personally went to check their pulses, and they took medicine and went to bed.

Wu Na followed closely throughout the whole process, but she had no chance to ask questions. She was afraid that her questions would lead to results she didn't want.

Linlang: "Don't worry, my elder brother said that Miss Meng and Yufan were left with the High Priest for protection. They will be back soon. I will send someone to pick them up now."

Wu Na: “I’ll go too.”

Linlang understood Wu Na's feelings, but it was really inconvenient to take Wu Na with her.

Linlang: "Don't go, go inform Ali and the others, as well as your two masters."

Wu Na: “Take me there.”

Wu Na's voice was pleading and there were tears in her eyes.

Linlang could only refuse cruelly, he had no other choice.

Linlang: "The people I sent have already set off. They are here now. If our boss is still recovering from his injuries, they will be waiting there. The mountains are full of formations, as well as poisonous insects and ferocious beasts. Don't act privately."

Wu Na just wanted to see them earlier, but she knew she would become a burden.

Her identity was very awkward, she was the daughter of the high priest and a disciple of the Holy Mountain. As a disciple of the Holy Mountain, she should not be too close to the priests.

People from the sacrificial lineage were also wary of those who came down from the mountains.

Only a few people knew Wu Na's identity. As long as Monk did not disclose Wu Na's identity to the public, she would be an outsider.

Wu Na: “I understand.”

Linlang: "Brother won't lie. Miss Meng wanted to stay to protect our boss. At least her injuries must be minor. Don't worry too much."

Wu Na: “Yeah.”

Wu Na felt a little disappointed, but when she thought about how they all returned safely, she no longer felt wronged. Well, she would not cause any trouble for them. She could wait.
