Chapter 1765
Zhu Yanyi smiled faintly. She believed that, like humans, Buddhas could be good or bad. The bad ones likely hid their existence, traveling across dimensions to find people with great fortune.
She wanted to see who was behind this. If they wanted to fight her, she would decide if she was willing to play along.
"You lost my Spirit Water just to ask these questions, Grandpa Yao. I don’t know what to say to you," Zhu Yanyi said, looking at the old man with a speechless expression.
Grandpa Yao grinned. "You are my disciple. Of course, I care about you. If someone wants to hurt you, I must find out who they are." he looked at her carefully. "You know about the Pope now. What do you plan to do with her?"
"Destroy her," Zhu Yanyi said calmly. "She should not exist, so why keep her?"
"But…" Grandpa Yao hesitated. He didn’t know how to advise her.
"From the moment Grandpa Wisdom died, I knew the Pope existed only to be destroyed by me," Zhu Yanyi smiled slightly. "People must give up something to gain something. I understood this long ago. You should too, Grandpa Yao."
Grandpa Yao felt a pang of sadness. his disciple was only nineteen, yet she bore so much weight.
Zhu Yanyi saw her expression and knew she was overthinking. She didn’t correct her. Letting her think freely was better than causing unnecessary trouble.
From Grandpa Yao’s words, she pieced together the truth. Combined with what Yan Aohan had said, she understood most of it. She felt pity for the Pope but decided to plan how to deal with her tomorrow.
Meanwhile, Yan Aohan and Silver Fox sat at the cave entrance, chatting. They looked out at the white mist, each chewing on a carrot Zhu Yanyi had brought.
"Honestly, I didn’t expect you to bring carrots," Silver Fox said. He didn’t like the taste, but his mouth felt bland after days here, so he didn’t complain.
"You complain when there’s food? Can’t you taste the spiritual energy? Ani grew these in a special place to carry with her. We eat them as snacks," Yan Aohan glanced at him, thinking he was blind to the value.
Silver Fox took a bite and smiled. "The spiritual energy is good, but I still dislike the taste."
"Foxes don’t eat carrots," Yan Aohan said softly.
Silver Fox laughed helplessly. "Don’t attack my personality. Anyway, what is your plan for tomorrow?"
"What plan? It’s Ani’s matter. She will decide. I will just guard her," Yan Aohan smiled. "It’s a small matter. She has the ability to handle it. If I do everything, she loses a chance to practice. That is not good."
Silver Fox understood. Yan Aohan was deeply invested in her growth. "You really think deeply about this."
"I learned about those people from Old Pan and planned to deal with them all at once. Since we met them here, let them be toys for my wife to practice on," Yan Aohan said with a faint smile.
"So the Buddha Realm doesn’t care about them?" Silver Fox realized.
"They are a dark, evil Buddha faction. The Buddha Realm said such factions exist in many small dimensions. They prefer local solutions. Ksitigarbha sent Zhan Diting to handle other dimensions. I stayed to let Ani practice on this one."
Silver Fox saw that Yan Aohan controlled everything. He smiled. Those enemies’ plans would likely fail.
"Nothing escapes your eyes," Silver Fox said, his expression complex.
Yan Aohan smiled. "Some things must not escape my eyes. I won’t allow it. But I shouldn’t tell Ani too much. Letting her investigate herself is best."
Silver Fox looked at him for a long time. "Since you know everything, tomorrow should go smoothly."
"Maybe. It depends on if that person intervenes. If he does, there might be surprises. But usually, such surprises are harmless," Yan Aohan seemed to know the outcome.
Seeing Silver Fox’s doubt, Yan Aohan smiled. "You know things change before they happen. Like you coming to Tibet to seize power. If you manage well tomorrow, taking control will be easy for you."
Silver Fox nodded. He came to Tibet to control the Holy Church. As Yan Aohan said, events were opportunities. With Yan Aohan and Zhu Yanyi causing trouble, the Pope would likely fall.
Yan Aohan looked into the distance, his eyes deep. "The Pope survived because we felt it wasn’t time to settle scores. Now it is. Tomorrow will be a good day to end things."
"After this, will the Little Divine Doctor go to the Saint Academy?" Silver Fox asked, looking ahead.
Yan Aohan chuckled. "Not within two years. Ani already passed the entrance exam. That was the international medical competition where she fought twenty opponents alone."
"I watched the live broadcast. Your wife is amazing," Silver Fox praised with a smile.
"You flatter her. She just thought, since she was there, she should communicate well. After communicating enough, she decided to teach them not to be too proud. So she acted," Yan Aohan said, making Zhu Yanyi’s actions sound noble.
