Zhu Yanyi was speechless. She sighed, "Okay, I have nothing to say to all that. How about this? You accept me as your master, but you keep doing your own things. If I need help, I will call you. Does that work?"
Ma Tianliang thought for a moment. Then he said, "Little Master, if you don't like people following you, that is fine. But since the Ma family serves you, we must have our own way. The Ma family will return to the world soon."
Zhu Yanyi knew this was Ma family’s way of repaying her. She wanted to refuse, but seeing Ma Tianliang’s serious face, she knew she could not stop them. She nodded. "Uncle Ma, you are still in charge of the Ma family. I will return to the capital tomorrow. If you have matters to discuss, you can contact me directly. But after I return, I go to school during the day. So, please only call after six in the evening. It is best to call my pager, because I do not know if I will stay at school or go home."
"Okay." Ma Tianliang nodded. As long as Zhu Yanyi gave her her contact number, she had no other requests. Moreover, now that the Ma family was re-emerging, there were many things to handle. Until everything was settled, the fact that the Ma family had a master must remain secret. This would prevent unnecessary trouble.
Ma Tianliang agreed, and Zhu Yanyi felt relieved. She never expected that saving some people would result in her gaining her own faction.
After Ma Tianliang left, Zhu Yanyi told Yan Aohan about the situation. She did not hide anything from him. Yan Aohan listened and smiled slightly. "You indeed need your own faction. Of course, you can use my resources, but you should also build your own. If urgent matters arise, it is easier to manage your own people."
Zhu Yanyi glanced at Yan Aohan. "As long as no one bullies me, I will never use power to oppress others. However, you are right about one thing. It is better to have your own strength than to rely on others. Even though you are very capable, I do not want to be a dodder plant, always clinging to you. I need my own faction so people will not look down on me."
"No one dares to look down on you." Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi seriously. "Ani, do not underestimate yourself. You and I are walking on completely different paths, but your ability is definitely not lower than mine."
"You really have confidence in me." Zhu Yanyi smiled, feeling happy. "But hearing that makes me very glad."
She did not need to explain why she was happy. Yan Aohan understood Zhu Yanyi’s meaning. He smiled and nodded. "I am glad you are happy. I hate seeing your tears." Then he looked at Zhu Yanyi very seriously. "Because, it hurts my heart."
Zhu Yanyi’s face turned slightly red. Then she said, "After we go back, let’s think of a way to find Grandpa Yao."
"Rest assured, I have been having people search for him. Your Grandpa Yao will be fine." Yan Aohan looked at Zhu Yanyi seriously. "I believe your Grandpa Yao is waiting for you to save him somewhere in the world."
"Okay." Zhu Yanyi felt relieved. "What about Yin Mei and Silver Fox? What is their background? Have you found out?"
Yan Aohan paused. "Currently, I only know these two come from an organization called the Holy Clan. I am still investigating what is inside." He seemed like he wanted to say something, but finally did not. Zhu Yanyi did not notice his expression.
