“Put the token back, pretend you didn't notice anything, and don't look around.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhe immediately stuffed the token back.
Although he did not understand, he knew that Yin Yang would definitely not harm him.
“People without the ginkgo leaf cannot remember me. Their memories have warped.”
“Don't act out of the ordinary. Just erase me from your memory.”
Xiao Zhe, who was currently conversing with others, nodded to indicate he had heard.
“Miss, let's go say hello.”
“Okay.”
Miss Tang agreed, then gave Yin Yang an apologetic smile.
“A friend of ours has arrived, so we'll take our leave first.”
“Please, go ahead.”
Yin Yang turned back to continue looking at the tree.
On the other side, Miss Tang led Xiao Yun and Xiao Yi over to Xiao Zhe.
“Mr. Xiao, long time no see.”
“Oh, Miss Tang! Indeed, long time no see.”
Xiao Zhe appeared highly enthusiastic, and the man in the suit beside him asked in surprise,
“Mr. Xiao knows Miss Tang?”
Miss Tang smiled.
“Yes. When I went to Wangduan City for the Moon-Viewing Festival, we ran into a sacrifice by the Shadow Lotus Church. It was Mr. Xiao who saved me.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zhe waved his hands repeatedly.
“I wouldn't dare claim that. Clearly, you were the one who saved me.”
Xiao Zhe's words left Miss Tang and her companions somewhat baffled, but they did not press further. After all, they did not share a particularly deep relationship.
After a brief chat, Miss Tang departed again. This time, the attitude of the man in the suit toward Xiao Zhe became noticeably warmer.
“Mr. Xiao, I didn't expect you to know Miss Tang.”
“I do.”
“I heard Miss Tang say you saved her life? What happened?”
“Oh, she's just trying to elevate my status. Don't believe it.”
Hearing this, the other man believed it even more.
After all, why would the daughter of a prominent minister try to elevate the status of a nobody?
But seeing that Xiao Zhe was "reluctant to say more," they did not ask further.
Xiao Zhe forced himself to calm down, and after chatting with them for a bit longer, he walked over to Yin Yang.
“Mr. Liu.”
Yin Yang turned around. The moment their eyes met, Xiao Zhe could finally confirm that this was indeed his good brother, Yin Yang!
Yet he understood that since Yin Yang had not taken the initiative to recognize him, this was not the place to talk.
“I highly appreciate your previous arguments. Do you have some time to chat?”
“Of course.”
Yin Yang agreed with a smile. The two stood in front of the tree and began to chat. Most of the time, it was Xiao Zhe talking while Yin Yang listened, just like in the old days.
“Mr. Liu, since your debate took place in the library, you must really enjoy reading.”
“Yes.”
“I bought a lot of Mr. Wan Tianqing's books. Meeting like this is fate, so I'll give them all to you.”
“Thank you.”
Yin Yang nodded with a smile, barely saying a word from beginning to end.
Xiao Zhe composed his emotions and took his leave.
Although he did not know what Yin Yang was up to, the fact that others could not remember him, combined with his frequent changes of identity, made it clear that he was working on something big.
Since his brother was doing big things, even if he could not help, he certainly would not drag him down.
But the moment he walked away, Yin Yang's voice rang out in his mind once more.
“This identity of mine will be involved in some events. If we associate too closely, it might implicate you.”
“I will look for you under a different identity another day.”
Xiao Zhe nodded subtly, his steps light.
Yin Yang turned back to continue looking at the tree.
Since his strength had increased, many of his abilities had also been significantly enhanced.
His voice transmission ability just now was the enhanced version of 【Communion】!
In any case, Yin Yang was still very happy to run into his good brother in Central City.
It was just that what he was currently doing was too dangerous. If anything went wrong and he had to flee, where would Xiao Zhe run?
“Liu Yang?”
A slightly hoarse voice sounded behind him. Yin Yang turned his head and saw a thin, frail elder looking at him.
The elder was about 1.7 meters tall, with ordinary features and plain clothing—the type of person who would completely blend into a crowd.
Yet Yin Yang instantly froze in place.
Because he had seen this old man before—on the cover of a book.
He was Wan Tianqing!!!
Seeing Yin Yang's reaction, the elder smiled.
“What's wrong? I'm not some man-eating monster. Is there a need to be so nervous?”
“Mr. Wan.”
Yin Yang behaved with utmost solemnity, completely different from how he acted in front of Miss Tang and the others.
Wan Tianqing!
Originally, it was through the dictionary annotated by him that Yin Yang learned the characters of Great Wei.
In Yin Yang's heart, this man held immense weight.
In fact, the books he had read the most were all written by Wan Tianqing.
To the point where his approach to handling certain matters was extremely similar to Wan Tianqing's.
In other words, he carried the shadow of Wan Tianqing!
“I watched your debate video. That clip has now become the ultimate weapon of the peace faction. They brandish it all day long to argue for peace with Great Qi.”
“I have caused you trouble.”
Wan Tianqing smiled and shook his head upon hearing this.
“It's no trouble at all. On the contrary, I quite appreciate you.”
“Everything you said from start to finish was well-sourced and backed by data.”
“This proves that you weren't lying, nor were you distorting the facts.”
“You simply spoke the truth, but they were just unwilling to believe it.”
Hearing Wan Tianqing say this, Yin Yang felt a wave of excitement in his heart.
Wan Tianqing was his childhood idol, and receiving validation from his childhood idol now was indeed a wonderful feeling.
“However, you miscalculated one thing.”
“Please enlighten me.”
“Great Wei has me.”
Wan Tianqing spoke with absolute confidence, as if telling Yin Yang that although Great Wei's chances of winning seemed low, as long as he, Wan Tianqing, was there, Great Wei would not lose!
Yin Yang did not refute it, for the man indeed had the right to say those words.
“Sir.”
A man dressed as a butler took a step forward.
Wan Tianqing frowned slightly, but still nodded to Yin Yang.
“We'll talk again when we have time.”
As he spoke, he and the butler walked toward the main hall.
The butler's voice wasn't loud, but it was clear enough for Wan Tianqing to hear.
“Xia Yitiao sent a few people over.”
“Sent people?”
“Yes.”
“Who?”
“Wang Hu, Lu...”
“That's enough.”
Before the butler could say the second name, Wan Tianqing waved his hand.
“Hardships indeed build character. If that old fellow knew that Xia Yitiao had become like this, I wonder if he would feel gratified or heartbroken.”
While speaking, he had already arrived at the main hall. Many who saw him were shocked, unable to understand why Wan Tianqing would appear at such a minor event.
Yet they still stepped forward one after another to bow and greet him. After all, everyone in Central City knew that this man was the true decision-maker of Great Wei!
Many people's minds began to race.
Wan Tianqing appearing at Qin Zhou's fundraising gala... Does this mean he supports Qin Zhou?
If this guess was correct, the landscape of Central City was about to undergo a massive shift.
