Chapter 1769

"Being put that way, I suppose I really am getting old," the Godfather said, smiling without anger.

"It is quite normal," Zhu Yanyi replied. "For doctors like Grandpa Yao and me, we see birth, aging, sickness, and death every day. So, aging isn't surprising. What surprises me is that you refuse to accept it."

Zhu Yanyi looked at the Godfather with surprise. She hadn't expected her to resist aging so much. Perhaps, because she refused to accept it, she kept trying to expand the Holy Church. But when people get old, their thinking can't keep up with the times, leading to various problems.

Zhu Yanyi spoke directly. The Godfather didn't get angry. He just looked at Silver Fox. "When did you start thinking about taking over my Holy Church?"

"I never originally planned to take it," Silver Fox said honestly. "But I found some things in your Holy Church were being done recklessly. Since your actions didn't suit my wishes, I decided to take it over. It’s more convenient that way. I dislike hearing voices that disagree with mine."

A hint of wicked charm appeared at the corner of Silver Fox's mouth. "Besides, before, I could watch the Saint Son and Yin Mei fight. At least they had some intelligence. Now, there are few people left to watch. Especially since you sent Chong Lou. It makes me think you are truly old. This is bad for the Holy Church's development. So, I decided to take it over. Then, I can cultivate whoever I like to see cause trouble. That’s more interesting."

She paused, looking seriously at the Godfather. "In life, don't be a player in the game. Occasionally, being a spectator is best."

Silver Fox finished speaking, looking at the Godfather. He believed the Godfather understood his meaning.

The Godfather naturally understood. Not only did he understand, but he also felt helpless. He sighed, realizing he really was old, otherwise, this wouldn't have happened.

"I suppose I really am getting old," the Godfather said, looking at Grandpa Yao.

"I told you long ago: don't interfere in the world of the young. Now that you have interfered, it is not easy to withdraw," Grandpa Yao said. Although old friendship existed, seeing him like this made Grandpa Yao feel uncomfortable.

"Once you enter this circle, it is hard to leave," the Godfather sighed. Then he added, "But seeing you safe brings me comfort."

Grandpa Yao looked straight at the Godfather. "You shouldn't have come today. If you hadn't come, you could pretend not to know. Coming means you truly cannot escape."

The Godfather shook his head slightly. "I had to come. Once trapped in this quagmire, escape is impossible. If I didn't come, he would force me to."

"You shouldn't have gotten involved with those people. The theory of immortality has disappeared from this world for too long. It cannot reappear," Grandpa Yao said. He felt the Godfather's pursuit was too absurd.

The Godfather nodded. "I know. But I have no way back. My wife and son have become their devout followers. If I disagree, the first ones I would have to kill are my wife and son."

"Didn't I give Hong Mei that bottle of life-saving spirit water? Couldn't that ease your situation?" Grandpa Yao frowned slightly.

"If it could ease things, I wouldn't be here," the Godfather said, looking at Grandpa Yao. "Do you know? The only order he gave me today was to take your life, no matter what."

"I didn't expect my life to be so valued. I am a bit flattered," Grandpa Yao laughed loudly.

The Godfather looked at Grandpa Yao with helplessness. "Who asked you to be the Little Divine Doctor's master? If you die, she will be sad. If she is sad, she will have a heart knot. With a heart knot, she will develop a heart demon."

"Wait, wait. I feel confused hearing this," Zhu Yanyi said. Listening to Grandpa Yao and the Godfather, she had a vague feeling that they were discussing something very important.

"Grandpa Yao, didn't you say that Hong Mei and she are a fake couple? How did a wife and son come up?" Zhu Yanyi looked at Grandpa Yao, then at the Godfather, genuinely curious about what they had just said.

The Godfather raised his eyebrows slightly and smiled. "Hong Mei is indeed my fake wife. My real wife and son are not here. They are elsewhere, controlled by others. They have already been brainwashed. Hong Mei is someone they placed by my side."

"A spy," Zhu Yanyi understood.

"Not exactly a spy," the Godfather said calmly. "She just supervises me and threatens me with my wife and son. If it were only about matters here, she couldn't threaten me. But this involves matters over there, so she can threaten me."

"The Fortune Buddha?" Zhu Yanyi looked at the Godfather. "It is just an evil Buddha. The name 'Fortune Buddha' does not appear in the Buddhas of sentient beings. It makes sense only among evil Buddhas."

"You actually know about the Fortune Buddha?" The Godfather looked at Zhu Yanyi with a hint of surprise.

Zhu Yanyi smiled lightly. "I once told Grandpa Yao that in this world, there is nothing I don't know, only things I don't want to know. It is indeed so now. My answer to you is the same. Even if the evil Buddha is not in this plane, as long as I want to know, I can still know."

After all, she had a special golden finger: Yan Aohan. So, if she wanted to know, nothing could be hidden from her.

Zhu Yanyi smiled. The Godfather was secretly shocked. She hadn't expected Zhu Yanyi to have such power and capability. Yet, she had never heard of her having such influence. "You actually built such a large power in just a few years?"

Zhu Yanyi didn't tell the Godfather too much. She only said, "How I achieved this is no longer important. What matters is that as long as I want to know something, I can know it. That is enough."

Zhu Yanyi looked at the Godfather and added, "Actually, knowing some things is very easy. For example, the appearance of that masked man. But I still don't know what her true face looks like."

Zhu Yanyi spoke vaguely, not saying much, but successfully giving the Godfather a different feeling.

The Godfather looked at Zhu Yanyi. After a long while, she said, "I haven't seen the masked man's true face either. But one thing is certain: as you said, she comes from another plane. I haven't been to that plane either."
