Zhu Yanyi smiled gently. "Actually, just as Grandma Li said, I was just lucky. When I went to the recycling station, I saw this name and was really scared. I didn’t even look at it; I just hid it and took it out. When I first got it, it was only a broken copy. The last page was damaged. Over these five years, I slowly used various needle techniques to fix it, and finally completed the last page. Don’t laugh at me, Grandma, it might seem childish, but I think my idea is not wrong."
The last page of Nuwa Embroidery was actually the Nuwa Mending the Sky Method. It was too shocking to the world. So, Zhu Yanyi changed it slightly based on the previous embroidery. She hid the true content of the last page and combined everything she had learned to fill in the gap. Although it looked like she was overestimating herself, she had a good explanation.
Old Master Li laughed, not minding at all. To her, having this book was already great. Although a broken copy was regrettable, it also brought new ideas. Sometimes, a broken copy wasn’t truly broken; it was a kind of beauty. "It’s not childish. In fact, I think you summarized it very well. You put your heart into it, Ani. But do you know the value of this book?"
Old Master Chun nodded and added, "Exactly. The internal energy manual I have is the same. I just tried it a little, and it really works. If this gets out, it will shock many people."
"We can say that the books Ani brought today are absolute treasures," Old Master Zhang stated.
Old Master Zhan nodded. "My copy is The Biography of the Lü Empire, passed down by Lü Buwei. Lü Buwei was the most successful merchant during the Warring States period. Few people have his economic theories. Some said they were in Lüshi Chunqiu, but we searched and couldn’t find them. Later, everyone thought it was just a legend. Now, after seeing this book, we know Lü Buwei’s secret to success really exists. This book is much better than those international economics books. Its value is priceless."
Looking at Zhu Yanyi, they marveled at her luck. But they also worried that if this matter got out, it might bring her trouble. However, they couldn’t stay silent because it was her achievement.
Old Master Yao pondered for a moment. "Actually, this is easy to solve. We can talk to the higher-ups. They will know what to do. To the outside world, we will release this under the names of us old men. After all, we have always been in this field, so it’s normal for us to have such things. Just don’t mention Ani to the public. Ani is still young. She doesn’t need this kind of fame. As long as the higher-ups know the truth, it’s fine."
Indeed, saying too much might not be good. Registering her with the higher-ups was actually better for Zhu Yanyi.
Ms. Chang said from the side, "Ani is lucky. Although we can help cover for her, her luck is so good that it will eventually be exposed. I’m worried about some people internationally. They might target Ani. So, I’m thinking whether we should assign bodyguards to Ani."
"No need," Zhu Yanyi was startled. "Why would someone like me need bodyguards? That’s a waste of talent."
"What do you mean waste of talent? Aren’t you talented?" Old Master Zhan agreed with Ms. Chang. "I think bodyguards are very necessary. Not only should we assign them, but we must choose the right people."
