"Earth Book." Xiangyao’s face turned pale.
"Yes, the Earth Book." Yan Aohan spoke slowly. "If this were a few years ago, before the Earth Book returned to its place, I might not have been able to do much to you. But now that it has returned, you should know that I can suppress you and your kind of fierce gods and villains."
Xiangyao snorted. "God Yan, do not think you have won. I will never lose." Xiangyao tried to flee, but how could Yan Aohan give him the chance? With a flick of his hand, the Earth Book covered Xiangyao, who instantly turned into nothingness.
"Venerable One, where is Xiangyao?" Old Pan asked hurriedly upon seeing this.
"That was Xiangyao’s clone. I didn’t expect him to have a clone appear." Yan Aohan was also surprised. If he hadn’t had the Earth Book on him, he wouldn’t have noticed this issue.
"Xiangyao has nine heads, representing nine lives. One head was lost earlier, so he should have eight heads left, meaning eight lives. If refined, he could create eight clones," Zhan Diting said calmly from the side. "The most troublesome thing about Xiangyao is this. You never know where his clones are hiding."
"There is no need to worry too much. Just capture them one by one as we meet them." Yan Aohan had no other thoughts. For now, he could only take things one step at a time. "How are the places you were asked to repair and save?"
"Almost done. This plane was nearly shattered by those four little fierce beasts. It really took a lot of time to fix," Zhan Diting said seriously.
"No matter how much time it takes, we must repair it. Let’s go." Yan Aohan took a deep breath. There was so much to do, leaving no time for rest. That was fine. Finishing things early meant he could return sooner.
On Zhu Yanyi’s side, preparations for collecting debts had begun.
Early in the morning, everyone ate breakfast together as usual, then boarded the car to the Zhu family. However, Zhu Yanyi did not let Hui Junlan and the other two accompany her this time. She told them to pack up first. If they finished early, they could go around and look around. After today, they would leave the Zhu family, which naturally meant returning to the capital.
In the car, everyone was relaxed. The upcoming events seemed insignificant to Zhu Yanyi and her companions.
Upon arriving at the Zhu family, Zhu Yanyi got out of the car first, followed by Zhu Xinfu and the others.
Zhu Yanyi smiled and supported Zhu Xinfu. "Grandpa, let’s go to the place where I treat people and rest there. Those who are supposed to come will arrive soon."
Zhu Xinfu nodded. He had come, and he didn’t care about waiting a little while.
But sometimes, when you don’t care, things happen naturally.
Zhu Yanyi never expected to meet Zhu Yongfu at the door of the temporary treatment room.
After receiving the news sent by Zhu Jinfu, Zhu Yongfu hadn’t slept well all night. She had been guessing who this person similar to Zhu Shenfu was. So she came early in the morning to inquire, hoping to learn some truth from Zhu Yanyi. But unexpectedly, she ran into Zhu Xinfu.
The moment he saw Zhu Xinfu, his face, already pale from insomnia, looked even more lifeless. It had been over forty years. He had seen this face for forty years. Even if he had no eyes or tongue back then, he would never forget this face. He looked at Zhu Xinfu, his fingers trembling as he pointed at him. "Who are you?"
Zhu Xinfu smiled gently, appearing particularly refined. "Hello, I am Zhu Xinfu."
These seven words seemed meaningless, but Zhu Yongfu seemed to see the young man from the past. When he first came to the Zhu family in Zhu City and met him, he had introduced himself: "Hello, I am Zhu Shenfu."
The number of characters was the same, and the format was identical. The only difference was that one was called Zhu Xinfu, and the other was Zhu Shenfu.
"Zhu Xinfu?" Zhu Yongfu looked at Zhu Xinfu, his eyes full of confusion. "Who are you?" Although he asked with doubt, his heart already understood.
"Old Master Zhu, why do you say that? This is my grandpa, my biological grandpa," Zhu Yanyi said with a smile from the side.
"My grandpa, Zhu Xinfu, happened to come to Zhu City this time, so I brought him here to sit for a while. Anyway, today is the last day of follow-up visits. Basically, after today, the mutual support poison in your Zhu family members will be completely cleared. I plan to accompany my grandpa to tour Zhu City this afternoon. I heard the scenery in Zhu City is quite nice. Since we are here, we should take a look and buy some local specialties."
Zhu Yanyi acted as if she knew nothing, looking only at Zhu Yongfu with such sincere expression. "Old Master, your complexion is poor. Is your health not good? Do you want me to check your pulse and prescribe something?"
Zhu Yongfu looked at Zhu Yanyi for a long while, then calmed her heart. "It’s nothing. I’m just getting old and lacking sleep. I haven’t slept well these past few days. If the Little Divine Doctor has no objection, you can prescribe a calming formula for me."
"That is naturally possible. Do you want the prescription now, or will you come to pick it up later?" Zhu Yanyi asked with a smile. Her attitude was extremely good.
"I’ll come to pick it up later." Zhu Yongfu’s mood was a bit chaotic. Seeing this missing person suddenly, standing perfectly fine in front of him, how could his heart not be in turmoil?
That was right. Zhu Yongfu wouldn’t mistake him. He knew that the person named Zhu Xinfu in front of him was the real Zhu Shenfu. Although he now had eyes, could speak, and his legs were healed, Zhu Yongfu had spent over forty years with him. A person’s aura is very familiar. How could Zhu Yongfu possibly mistake him? Plus, the impression the real Zhu Shenfu had left on him was too deep, making it hard to mistake him.
She didn’t know how she returned home. As soon as she got back, she sat down. Her complexion was very bad. She didn’t know how much Zhu Xinfu knew, but she knew that over the past forty years, she had revealed quite a few things. She just didn’t know how much Zhu Xinfu had remembered. If she had known, she should have cut off her ears and ruined her appearance back then. At least, she wouldn’t have to worry like this now.
She felt a bit of hatred for her own soft-heartedness back then.
Now that the person had come, he couldn’t escape. Escaping would mean exposing many things. He couldn’t let anyone discover this.
"Brother, what’s wrong?" Zhu Jinfu and Zhu Shenfu came over, seeing Zhu Yongfu’s poor complexion. "Is your health not good? The Little Divine Doctor is here. Let me help you go over for a diagnosis."
"No need. I just came from the Little Divine Doctor." Zhu Yongfu refused, then looked at Zhu Jinfu and Zhu Shenfu weakly. "Jinfu, Shenfu, do you know who I saw today?"
"Who did you see?" Zhu Jinfu asked curiously.
