In the Zilian Villa, the night had enveloped everything, leaving only Maria and George. The rest of the occupants
had already gone to their quarters.
As Anne arrived, he confidently strode through the first-floor courtyard and gracefully ascended the stone steps.
The moment he stepped into the courtyard, there stood Maria, her face a delightful mix of happiness and shyness.
“Young Master…” she greeted him, her voice gentle and affectionate.
Maria was dressed in a stunning white sarong, her long hair cascading over her shoulders, still damp from a recent
bath. The hot spring pool nearby was brimming with water and a sprinkling of fresh flower petals adorned its
surface, permeating the whole area with a faint floral fragrance.
Anne instinctively sensed that Maria had just finished bathing, which made him feel a bit uneasy. He purposely
avoided looking at the pool and focused on Maria instead, speaking with a hint of nervousness, “Miss Clark, my
apologies for disturbing you so late. Besides the promises I made to the three old gentlemen, there are a few more
matters I need your help with, a puzzle I hope you can assist me in solving.”
Maria’s smile was enchanting and her beauty was mesmerizing. With lips slightly parted, she replied sweetly,
“Young Master, your concerns are my blessings. I’m here to share your worries and offer my aid in finding the
answers you seek.”
With a welcoming gesture, she invited Anne into her boudoir, saying gently, “Please, come in. We can talk
comfortably here.”
Anne nodded gratefully and followed Maria into her private space.

filled the room, rejuvenating the senses. She guided Anne to a modest tea table, gesturing for him to take a seat.
“Young Master, please sit down. Let me pour you some tea,” Maria said warmly.
Anne complied and they sat cross-legged, facing each other at the table.
Maria poured a cup of tea for Jordan, saying, “Young Master, please.”
Inquisitive, Anne asked, “Is this the legendary mother of Pu’er Tea, the tea cake?”
Maria smiled, “Indeed, you have a discerning eye. This tea is reserved for special occasions and your visit is one
such moment.”
Jordan, concerned about wasting such a precious tea, cautioned, “We should be frugal with it. Once it’s gone, it
won’t be easy to get a taste of this flavor again in the future.”
Maria calmly responded, “Worry not. Like everything in life, the tea will have its time. It’s essential to savor it when
the occasion calls for it.”
Taking a sip of the tea, Anne marveled at its refreshing taste, appreciating the subtle complexities of the flavor.
Maria then asked, “Now, tell me, Young Master, what issue do you need my help with?”
Anne looked serious and expectant as he asked, “Miss Clark, do you know about the Divine Dragon Grid?”
“Divine Dragon Grid?” Maria’s expression shifted to one of surprise. “Where did you come across that term?”
Anne explained, “I overheard my grandparents talking and my great-uncle mentioned it as well. My father had a
book called ‘Preface to Apocalyptic Book’ and the Divine Dragon Grid was frequently mentioned in it. I’ve been
curious about its meaning and significance. But I never remember my father mentioning the terms such as a Divine
Dragon grid or frame, I once heard Master Exeor say the fate of a person’s manga and dragon frame, But I do not
know, what is this divine dragon frame.”
Maria didn’t answer Anne’s question, but asked curiously, “You mentioned Master Exeor, I don’t know which Master
he is?”
Anne said, “He’s the direct descendant of the the old Exeor family named Orion Exeor ……”
Maria muttered “Gold firm, wood shrugged, water clear, fire strong, earth solid and wind light, Master Exeor, should
be grandchildren of Olórin Exeor.”
Anne was surprised and asked, “Miss Clark and the ancestors of the Exeor Family also had interactions?”
Maria nodded and said “The reason why I know Feng Shui, the secret art of the Eight Trigrams, is because that year
I had followed Orion Exeor and learned it. Master that year to me was also considered teaching. Many of the
problems that the old man did not penetrate were also passed on to me and after this one or two hundred years of
time, I was unlocking the problems left by him one by one. Only now has the answers to the Eight Trigrams has
been attained.”
Anne could not help but sigh “It is really the benefits of longevity… Any knowledge, there is more than enough time
to understand and digest…”
Maria smiled slightly, nodded and said, “What the Young Master said is very true, there is a list of great talent sages,
all the authors are not close to the general wisdom of the sages, they left the knowledge, which when the ordinary
people follow get a bit of enlightenment, even if the talent is very good if it is
only live for seventy or eighty years, one can only penetrate at most two or three percent of them, the only five live
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmas long enough to penetrate more than fifty percent!”
Anne nodded in agreement, at the same time in his heart, he was also a little impatient, so he quickly asked, “Ms.
Clark, what exactly is the meaning of the Divine Dragon?”
Maria hesitated for a moment before revealing, “The Divine Dragon is an even higher fate than the Dragon itself.”
Puzzled, Anne asked, “Isn’t the Dragon considered the highest? How is there something even beyond it?”
Maria explained, “The Dragon Grid is indeed one of the highest destinies, but the Divine Dragon is exceedingly rare,
appearing only once in centuries. Many scholars of Change spend their whole lives without ever encountering it.”
Jordan, eager to learn more, inquired, “But wouldn’t someone who studies the Changes at least be able to
recognize its existence?”
Maria smiled, “Understanding Destiny and Changes lies in its layers of hidden meanings. It’s like a vast puzzle, with
each discovery leading to new insights and revelations. The more one delves into it, the more profound its
mysteries become. Think of it like permutations and combinations in mathematics. It contains countless hidden
combinations of meanings within its texts, waiting to be deciphered.”
Anne nodded in understanding, realizing that uncovering the Divine Dragon’s significance required more than just a
cursory glance.
Maria added, “When the Divine Dragon emerges, it defies the Way of Heaven itself. Unlike other destinies, which
are subject to the control of Heavenly Realm and its tribulations, the Divine Dragon stands apart. It can challenge
the Way of Heaven without fear of divine retribution.”
Anne absorbed this information, contemplating the extraordinary nature of the Divine Dragon.
