"Doing good deeds with a specific goal isn't a good thing," Zhu Yanyi said slowly. "Even in ancient times, such calculated behavior would attract the attention of the imperial court."
Yan Aohan nodded, her eyes showing approval. She clearly felt Zhu Yanyi had hit the nail on the head. "She started by buying people's hearts. We don't know her final goal yet.
After the Red Little Soldier movement ended, the Holy Church grew larger. The Father holds the highest power. Below him is the Holy Son. Below the Holy Son are the Left and Right Elders. You have met the Left Elder, Silver Fox, and the Right Elder, Yin Mei.
This is all we know for now. We have some clues about the Holy Son, but nothing about the Father. No one knows who he is."
"Why did they capture Grandpa Yao?" Zhu Yanyi asked, full of doubt.
"I don't know the reason. But one thing is certain: Grandpa Yao is safe for now," Yan Aohan answered firmly.
Zhu Yanyi glanced at her. "I knew that. Grandpa Yao wrote to me. She said she would be fine for ten years. She told me to use that time to develop myself. Her handwriting was neat and calm, not rushed. If she says ten years, it won't be nine. I trust her completely."
"What will you do next?" Yan Aohan asked.
Zhu Yanyi looked at her empty cup, poured more black tea, and took a sip. "After the International Medical Exchange Conference, I will speed up my research. I will try to cultivate artificial Fengchun and build a machine like a CT scanner. Once both are done, I will skip grades and enter university. I will finish all courses in two years. If I spend another year on graduate studies, I plan to travel to border areas, Miaojiang, and other places I can reach. I want to gain experience and study difficult diseases. Ten years seems long, but I have much to do." She clapped her hands. "It is decided." She felt suddenly heroic.
Zhu Yanyi remembered that the Chinese Peacekeeping Force would be established in 1990. Perhaps after her graduate studies, she would join them to help internationally. Grandpa Yao’s letter implied she should become prominent. Since she had the ability, she would do so. Then, she thought of something.
"Grandpa Zhihui is in the Tibetan region," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at Yan Aohan. "Do you know where she is? Can you contact her?"
Yan Aohan nodded slightly. "Master Zhihui is indeed in the Tibetan region. He holds a high position in the local Buddhist sect. Are you sure you want to contact him and tell him about Grandpa Yao?"
Zhu Yanyi paused. If she told Master Zhihui, she might get into danger. That would be a bad trade.
