The Ultimate Reborn Heiress (Scarlett) novel Chapter 89

Chapter 89 Thousand–Petaled Lotus Carving

As Scarlett carved faster and faster, wood shavings and chips piled up all over the sculpture in her hands.

Yet she was still able to keep carving the remaining wood through the mess of fragments and dust.

Wasn’t this even more ridiculous?

Grayson wanted to say something.

But in the end, he didn’t.

The instructor had said ten minutes, and ten minutes meant ten minutes.

He had already opened his phone, ready to buy a ticket at any moment.

Very quickly, the ten minutes were up.

Scarlett stopped what she was doing.

Norman frowned. “Miss, this is what you wanted to show me? I admit you’ve got strong wrists, and you’re actually well suited for woodcarving, but this is completely unstructured, and in ten minutes, what could you possibly carve…”

Before he could finish, Norman’s eyes slowly widened.

Because he saw the young woman in front of him flip over the basketball–sized block of wood in her hands.

The wood chips and shavings scattered and fell away.

Then she turned the sculpture back to the front.

A vivid, thousand–petaled lotus carved from wood appeared before his eyes.

The wooden lotus before him had layers upon layers of petals, with clearly defined stamens, the outer petals broad and the inner petals delicate.

There were at least a thousand petals.

Even carved in wood, it looked radiant and fully in bloom.

A breathtaking beauty.

Everyone was stunned.

Norman trembled with excitement, staring fixedly at the thousand–petaled lotus carving.

Grayson’s hand froze on his phone as well, staring blankly at the wooden lotus.

It was shocking.

Chapter 89 Thousand–Petaled Lotus Carving

It was beautiful.

Finished

With nothing more than a single block of wood, the beauty of a thousand–petaled lotus had been brought back to life.

Not only that, it carried an extra trace of sacredness and mystery compared to a real flower.

This was real woodcarving.

Not those modern pieces cut by machines, replacing blades, stiff and lifeless.

Sophia said excitedly, “What a magnificent thousand–petaled lotus carving. It’s stunning.”

Wade and the others stepped forward as well, asking carefully, “Ms. Sanchez, could we take a look?”

Scarlett handed the thousand–petaled lotus carving to him.

Wade accepted it cautiously and examined it closely.

Nicholas stared at the carving and exclaimed, “Th–this number of petals is easily over a thousand. It’s so lifelike, even the fine veins on the petals are there. It’s as if it’s alive. If it were painted, it could pass for the real thing–no, it would be even more breathtaking than a real lotus.”

“Norman.” Scarlett looked at the elder in front of her. “Do you still think I’m not qualified to restore this

tower?”

“N–no…” Norman was visibly moved, his eyes reddening. “Miss, this was my fault. I’m sorry. I apologize to you for my ignorance.”

It was exactly as the young woman had scolded earlier.

One cannot speak of the sea to a frog in a well.

Self–important.

Thinking this young woman couldn’t possibly have such an ability.

Even now, he truly didn’t understand why she was so extraordinary.

Ten minutes…

Th–this was simply unbelievable.

Scarlett didn’t say anything more.

Norman was someone worthy of great respect.

For the country, he had devoted nearly his entire life.

Of course, she also wanted her country to grow better and better.

Not just in technology and convenience, but in everything.

Chapter 89 Thousand–Petaled Lotus Carving

Including these historic structures and intangible cultural crafts that many people might see as unimportant.

Finished

Scarlett said, “Then let’s begin restoring this tower. It definitely won’t be finished in just a day or two. I’ll send you the restoration plan.

“I’ll handle the exterior carvings of the tower, too. I’ve also prepared detailed plans for the major wooden structures. You just need to follow the steps in the plan–how to build, how to operate, and how to fix everything are all clearly marked.”

She had already organized how to restore the large wooden framework into documents.

It was practically like cooking a meal and feeding it to them step by step.

Norman collected himself, nodded, and said, “Of course. Thank you, Ms. Sanchez.”

After speaking, he glanced at Scarlett again, as if he still had something he wanted to ask.

But in the end, he didn’t say it.

He wanted to ask how she could be so accomplished at such a young age.

But that was her private matter.

Scarlett said nothing more.

She sent the restoration plan to Sophia.

And asked Sophia to distribute it so everyone could study it together.

She then continued carving the thousand–petaled lotus.

She still had hundreds more to carve.

As Scarlett worked on the lotus carvings, many people gathered around to watch.

Even Grayson came over, and without hesitation, he said to Scarlett, “Scarlett, I’m sorry.”

He had been completely wrong, judging her solely by online opinions and saying those things, believing she was exactly what the commenters claimed.

Scarlett glanced at him. “It’s fine.”

There was no real grudge between them.

Scarlett continued carving the thousand–petaled lotus.

This time, her movements were much slower, allowing everyone to learn by watching.

Intangible cultural heritage is becoming rarer and rarer these days.

And it was precisely because this kind of transmission was fading away.
