"Your mind is playing tricks again, isn't it?" Madman didn't care about the Godfather's question. He was actually curious about the Godfather's thoughts.
"Old Yang, for now, I can only watch. I dare not offend people casually." The Godfather looked at Madman. Some things he said were true. The current situation was unclear, and he needed to adjust his personnel.
"To be honest, you only lost a Holy Son and a Yin Mei. It’s no big deal." Madman spoke directly. He had dealt with the Godfather for years. Even if he didn't know him perfectly, he knew enough. "That Yin Mei could do small schemes, but not big things. That Holy Son was just a useless fool."
"I am not sad about their deaths." The Godfather looked at Madman seriously. "I am worried about the nature of this matter. Do not underestimate it. My investigation shows that the Yin Mei and the Holy Son were likely killed by Yan Aohan."
"I said your subordinates are so unaware. I dare not offend the Venerable Yanluo of the Capital, yet they went to provoke him." Madman looked incredulous.
"Why do you think it was because they offended the Venerable Yanluo of the Capital?" the Godfather asked back.
Madman rolled his eyes. "What is there to be surprised about? I know the Venerable Yanluo of the Capital’s character well enough. He does not attack unless attacked. That is why the upper layers of China tolerate his existence."
Madman sighed again. "I must say, the Yan family is lucky. One Yan Aohan is worth thousands of others. With Yan Aohan, the Yan family will never decline."
The Godfather nodded with a heavy heart. "You are right. Yan Aohan is indeed powerful.
As for what exactly happened to the Yin Mei and the Holy Son, I do not know yet. But one thing is certain: their deaths are linked to the Venerable Yanluo of the Capital.
Also, Yan Aohan surely knows about your news in the Tibetan region. So, do not cause any trouble. Otherwise, if you attract the Venerable Yanluo of the Capital, even as old friends, I can only watch you die."
"Rest assured. I know I am not a match for the Venerable Yanluo of the Capital right now. So, I will absolutely not provoke him." Madman was sensible. He knew his own strength compared to Yan Aohan, so he dared not provoke him.
However, he never imagined that Yan Aohan had already gone to the Snow Mountain Canyon.
Yes, the Snow Mountain Canyon was indeed Madman’s newly built laboratory base. For him, that place was remote and unnoticed. Surrounded by mountains, who would think a base existed there?
Ordinary people could not guess it. Even the Godfather, if Madman had not mentioned it occasionally, would not have known Madman’s laboratory was in the Snow Mountain Canyon.
But she did not know that there was a Zhu Yanyi in this world. She could communicate with plants. So, no matter how hidden it was, she could still find it.
Zhu Yanyi looked at the snow mountain and smiled. "This Madman is good at choosing places. This snow mountain looks like just snow. If there were not a few grasses and snow pines, I would not know there was a laboratory here." Zhu Yanyi had to admit she admired Madman’s choice of location.
"Madman usually chooses places others cannot think of," Yan Aohan said. "Let’s find a wind-sheltered cave first. We will make do tonight and go up tomorrow."
They had arrived here at nearly four o’clock. If they did not find a place to rest now, it would be difficult at night. Although the snow mountain was covered in snow, it was still dangerous at night, especially with wolves present.
After Yan Aohan finished speaking, Zhu Yanyi nodded, agreeing with his suggestion. "I will ask the trees here to see if we can find a suitable place to rest."
Zhu Yanyi went to communicate with a nearby snow pine. In just two minutes, she came back and said, "Three kilometers west, there is a cave. It is quite wind-sheltered."
"Okay, let’s go west." Yan Aohan nodded seriously.
Three kilometers west was not far. Although it was a mountain path, for people with skills like Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi, it was truly not far. So, they quickly found the place.
The cave was not very large, but not small either. It could accommodate three or four people at once. It was very hidden, with a snow pine blocking the entrance. If Zhu Yanyi had not asked the snow pine, she might not have found this place.
Yan Aohan went out to find some dry branches and pine needles. They built a fire. Then Zhu Yanyi took out some food and utensils, boiled a pot of soup, and heated the food. They did not feel difficult because they were in the wild.
When the food was cooked, the sky outside had completely darkened. Wolf howls came from the distance.
"It seems there are many wolves on the snow mountain," Zhu Yanyi said seriously, listening to the howls.
"The snow wolves on the snow mountain are the messengers of the Snow Mountain God. The people here dare not disrespect them, so they still have a certain population. Except for that madman Yang Guanjing, who kills snow wolves, others do not kill them." Yan Aohan sometimes admired Madman’s willfulness.
Wolves are social animals. If you kill one wolf, it will bring the revenge of the wolf pack. He did not know what Madman was thinking.
"If Madman is killed by wolves, I will be glad," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "I just worry that Madman has many hiding places. She might not be in this laboratory."
"Since we came to this Tibetan region, there must be a result. Whether Madman is in the Tibetan region or not." Yan Aohan did not want to see Madman again. No matter what, Madman must have a result.
"After we deal with Madman, let’s walk around the snow mountain. I heard there are many medicinal herbs on the snow mountain." As a doctor, the most important thing when going anywhere was to find medicinal herbs.
Yan Aohan rubbed Zhu Yanyi’s head, indicating he agreed.
They spent the night without much talk. The next morning, they got up, ate some soup and dry rations warmed from the previous night, and then organized themselves before setting off.
Zhu Yanyi walked out of the cave and smiled. "This cave is quite good. If we were on vacation, this could be a temporary residence."
"Sure. When we travel together someday, we can use this as a temporary residence," Yan Aohan said with a smile. "Let’s go. We need to go up the mountain today. We must at least cross the peak in front of us.
Madman’s canyon is chosen too well. There are more than ten peaks on this snow mountain, and that canyon is exactly between the eighth and ninth peaks. This makes transportation time-consuming and laborious."
