"Things aren't changing from above, but people below are restless. Some groups in other places are also stirring up trouble. If the Yan family doesn't act, it could cause more chaos. Especially with Hong Kong's return approaching, if we slip up, ambitious people might seize the chance." Yan Aohan spoke slowly. "Local families are emerging. If the Yan family doesn't step up, no one can suppress them. Also, the Sage Academy is about to appear. Many things will happen."
"The Sage Academy is appearing?" The old man heard this news for the first time.
"Yes." Yan Aohan nodded. "Ani was invited to take the Sage Academy entrance exam next year. Recently, she told Gu Jun that if the Sage Academy doesn't enter the world, training talents is useless. Decline is inevitable. Gu Jun listened to Ani and went back to discuss with the principal and others. They decided to enter the world. If I guess correctly, their first stop will be Beijing to find Ani. They are disconnected from this era and need help. Ani is the best choice."
Yan Aohan did not hide such matters.
"The Sage Academy entering the world will make things lively," Yan Hongyi smiled lightly.
"It will be lively in the medical field," the old man said. "But some liveliness is good. Yan Yi carries a heavy burden. It is good if someone shares it."
"However, we should not spread this news to avoid unnecessary trouble." The Sage Academy was too mysterious.
Not to mention, the longevity secrets inside were something people longed for. Fortunately, few people in the world knew about the Sage Academy.
"The Sage Academy recruits once every hundred years. Next year is the recruitment year. The world will eventually know about the Sage Academy," Hua Yaohui pointed out the key point.
"That doesn't matter. By the time others know, the Sage Academy people will probably have disappeared again. It is not easy for ordinary people to find them," the old man said directly. "But, Fourth Brother, where did so many students from the Sage Academy go? They have long lifespans. Why haven't they appeared in public?"
"Every world has its own secrets," Yan Aohan said slowly. "Perhaps their whereabouts are the world's secret. We don't know now, but we will know someday."
"Fourth Brother, Ani is younger than you. If she goes to the Sage Academy next year and learns longevity arts, it will be troublesome if you are short-lived," Yan Hongyi never said a good word.
"Ani's internal energy is already at the late stage of the Transformation Realm. She can live to be one hundred and seventy or eighty years old," Yan Aohan said slowly. "To match her, I will not lag behind. So, Second Brother, thank you for your concern. I will not be short-lived."
"Fourth Brother, you said Ani's internal energy is at the late stage of the Transformation Realm?" Yan Huajun was shocked. He was only at the late stage of the Hidden Realm. He still had some distance to reach the peak.
"Yes." Yan Aohan nodded seriously. "Ani studies medicine. Don't look down on it. There is much we don't know. Learning internal energy allows practicing various acupuncture methods. Ani is currently learning empty needle techniques, which require internal energy."
The Yan family members didn't know what to say. They could only be glad that Zhu Yanyi was part of the Yan family. Otherwise, a new family might rise. Even so, the Zhu family would also rise.
"Fourth Brother, protect Yan Yi," the old man said directly. Such a good daughter-in-law must not be bullied. Although currently, no one could bully her.
"Rest assured." Yan Aohan smiled faintly. Even without the old man's words, he always protected her. Protecting his own wife was never wrong in his eyes.
Around three o'clock, Zhu Yanyi came to find Yan Aohan. "Aohan, accompany me to the nearby market to buy vegetables."
"Don't we have vegetables at home?" the old lady asked.
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "We have too many meat dishes and few vegetable dishes. Although I brought some vegetables, I need some other vegetable dishes. Let Aohan accompany me to buy them."
"Okay." The old lady did not be polite with Zhu Yanyi.
Yan Aohan accompanied Zhu Yanyi out. One hundred meters to the left of the compound was a vegetable market. The vendors here were vetted. Most were relatives of the compound or military families. Otherwise, they were not allowed to set up stalls.
Zhu Yanyi observed briefly and had a target.
There was an Azure Sovereign Group stall in a corner. Zhu Yanyi went directly there to buy Azure Sovereign vegetables.
Unfortunately, the Azure Sovereign vegetables were almost sold out. Only a few types remained. Zhu Yanyi didn't say anything, bought what she needed, and found other items at other stalls. Then she and Yan Aohan went home together.
"You are making a full vegetarian banquet," Yan Aohan knew what Zhu Yanyi was doing by looking at the vegetables.
Zhu Yanyi did not deny it. "I see everyone in the Yan family likes meat. That won't do. Eating meat all the time is bad for health. I can supervise you since we are together, but I can't supervise others. So I will make a full vegetarian banquet for them to taste the deliciousness of vegetables. Then I will leave the recipes for everyone to learn at home. Anyway, eating a little every day is better than not eating at all." Zhu Yanyi smiled, looking at the full baskets of vegetables in their hands.
Yan Aohan smiled lightly. "Those people are lucky." Zhu Yanyi's vegetarian dishes were learned from wisdom. They were absolutely superb.
She looked at Zhu Yanyi with a pained expression. "I can't bear to let you do this and that."
Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "No way. Tomorrow is your birthday. I want to monopolize you tomorrow for your birthday. Today's full vegetarian banquet is for everyone to celebrate your birthday early. Actually, it is an apology."
Yan Aohan was slightly stunned, looking at Zhu Yanyi. "I almost forgot my birthday. My family doesn't specially celebrate it for me." He tilted his head and looked at Zhu Yanyi. "You said you would give me a birthday gift. What is it?"
"Of course, birthday gifts are only opened on the birthday. I won't tell you now," Zhu Yanyi smiled playfully.
Yan Aohan raised his eyebrows and smiled lightly. Forget it. he wouldn't press further. As long as she was happy, it was fine.
Zhu Yanyi and Yan Aohan returned to the Yan family home. Zhu Yanyi went into the kitchen to busy herself. Yan Aohan followed her to help.
