”Did you manage to see him one last time?” Mo Fan asked.

”I did,” Zhao Manyan nodded.

”It's Zhao Youqian, right? Do you want to get revenge? I can help you,” Mo Fan offered.

”Not now,” Zhao Manyan shook his head.

Zhao Youqian was a maniac. Zhao Manyan was worried that Zhao Youqian might harm his mother if his brother knew he was still alive.

Besides, he was still too weak now. Zhao Youqian might not be able to cast a single spell, but he had lots of experts protecting him. Zhao Manyan could not even take on the scarfaced Bacon.

Zhao Manyan had matured a lot. He knew that if he was too preoccupied with the thought of getting revenge, he would just let his father down. Didn't his father hold onto his last breath just long enough to learn he was still alive?

Many people believed that death was honorable, and being reckless was being brave. However, most of the time, the people that chose to die were only trying to be freed from their burdens, as they were not brave enough to face the heavy blows and carry the anticipation of the people that had passed away. Choosing to die was actually the cowardly act here!

Zhao Manyan did not want to do anything stupid, nor would he let his father down. He would live comfortably, live longer than anyone else, and live freely!

”How did you know?” Zhao Manyan was quite surprised that Mo Fan knew Zhao Youqian had set him up, and the fact that he was still alive.

”I guessed it. I was in Hangzhou not long ago when the Black Totem Snake vaguely sensed that Baxia was approaching the shoreline of our country, so I guessed that you were coming back. I've been waiting at your father's hospital ever since. I'm glad that I was right,” Mo Fan said.

Mo Fan recalled that Zhao Manyan was discussing his brother after being reminded by Mu Ningxue.

Zhao Manyan and Zhao Youqian were brothers by blood, thus it was difficult for Mo Fan to even think about the possibility. However, he immediately arrived at the conclusion after asking Lingling to investigate the Zhao Clan.

The discovery was very heartbreaking; to think that even a family member related by blood would do such a thing. It would shatter even the strongest belief...

”Don't worry, I'm fine. It was only a matter of time until my father passed away. Zhao Youqian tried to kill me, but I'm still alive. Nothing has changed,” Zhao Youqian said.

”If you're not planning to get your revenge for now, what are you thinking of doing?” Mo Fan asked.

”I was thinking of the same thing too… it seems like the plan we initially had isn't going to work now,” Zhao Manyan said.

”Yeah, we were supposed to be derelict in our duties as we went on and get laid by the Japanese lolis, the mature women and b**ches in America and England, but we ended up winning the first place in the World College Tournament and becoming the role model of the people in our country,” Mo Fan exclaimed in mock protest. He could not understand which part had gone wrong along the journey that led them accidentally to performing as exemplars during the World College Tournament.

”Maybe I'll travel around the world for a year or two to liven up myself. I'll worry about what to do later,” Zhao Manyan said.

”Ah, traveling, why don't you come with me? I'm on a job that involves a lot of traveling too. I bet you'll like it. To make it better, the government is paying all the fees!” Mo Fan said.

”Sounds great, where are we going first?” Zhao Manyan's eyes glittered after hearing Mo Fan's plan.

The truth was, Zhao Manyan wanted to become stronger. He believed the traveling that Mo Fan mentioned was clearly going to involve training too. It was more efficient to go on adventures than just cultivating diligently. He accepted as soon as Mo Fan mentioned it.

”We're going to Yantai. Speaking of which, it might have something to do with you too,” Mo Fan said.

”Me?” Zhao Manyan was confused.

”The creature that escorted you here is the Totem Beast Baxia, right?” Mo Fan said.

”Hehe, so you already knew! I wasn't sure in the first place until he showed up in Venice. I thought I was dead for sure, but he brought me to a place, I have no idea where. I was seriously injured. It took me months just to recover, so I ended up spending all my time cultivating at that shitty place,” Zhao Manyan said.

”I didn't think you would be so lucky,” Mo Fan said.

”Baxia isn't fond of interacting with humans. I think he has gone back to the Pacific Ocean. Besides, I'm too weak, so he wasn't too fond of me, either. It took a great effort just to convince him to bring me back here,” Zhao Manyan explained.

”A tsundere old turtle, so it seems. I'm curious how spectacular it would be if he was standing together with the Black Totem Snake,” Mo Fan said.

”He wasn't fond of the Black Totem Snake either, even though they are brothers. They are like the kind that don't want anything to do with one another,” Zhao Manyan said.

”...” Mo Fan felt his head hurting. It explained why the Black Totem Snake never mentioned that he had a brother.

”What did you mean by traveling?” Zhao Manyan asked.

”We are looking for Totem Beasts!”
