After taking a photo of someone who looked extremely similar to Hong Yu at the entrance of the hot pot restaurant, Nian couldn't help but recall a few years ago when the first trial treatment for Oripathy was announced at Rhodes Island in Kazdel. Her second brother had taken her, who had nothing better to do and was just wandering around, to that medical company.
And when a woman named Kal'tsit there saw her and her second brother, she suddenly said something inexplicable, "The one you are waiting for still exists in some corner of this land. When you think he has disappeared, in fact, he is everywhere."
Very cryptic, couldn't understand.
At that time, Nian was just about to ask that white-and-green cat-headed woman who spoke in riddles, but her second brother frowned and glared at the other party. Not long after, he took her and left.
Nian thought about it over and over again but couldn't figure out why that Feline woman could make her usually calm second brother see red with just a few sentences. Then, her second brother suddenly explained to her.
"Don't pay attention to the words of that old woman who acts young. The Master's death is a fact that all of us have confirmed."
Although her second brother's words were very absolute, regarding Yu's death, everyone was the same...
They couldn't believe it and were unwilling to believe it. Some siblings even held onto the hope that this was just another one of the Master's cruel jokes, although they knew that that guy Yu never played cruel jokes.
Yu's death was a major blow to all the fragments, so it was no wonder her second brother was so angry at that time.
But...
"What?!" Nian's eyes widened. "That old woman said Yu might still be alive?!"
That's right. Among those who firmly believed that Hong Yu was still alive, Nian was one of them.
Because as she continued her intermittent travels on this land, she had seen portraits or handwriting that were extremely similar to Hong Yu's in many places.
And these discoveries later gradually made many of the Sui family members have the thought of "is Hong Yu really still alive."
And finally, yesterday, Nian took a few photos at the entrance of a hot pot restaurant she opened in Lungmen. And by the sheerest coincidence, among the crowd in those photos, a few clearly recorded a face that was very familiar to her in the crowd.
When Nian was checking the photos, she almost screamed out loud.
Yu?!
Nian decisively sent the photos to all the fragments except herself.
[Lovey-Dovey Sui Family]
Nian: [Look at these photos.]

...(omitting the other fragments who have no plot, I really don't want to be backstabbed again)...
Nian: [Look, isn't it Yu? I took these in Lungmen!]
Go-addict Who Works Overtime: [Could it be... that what that old woman said is true?!]
Go-addict Who Works Overtime: [This... is almost exactly the same!]
Sister Shu: [It looks like him... is it really the Master?]
Sister Shu: [Nian, where are you in Lungmen? I'll come find you.]
Drunk and Flying: [Nian, I'm coming to Lungmen to find you too.]
Xi-gua: [I'm going too!]
...(as above)...
Nian: [I'm in the middle of XX Commercial Street in Lungmen. As soon as possible!]
Nian: [By the way, where's Big Brother? Why isn't he saying anything? @Early-bird-martial-artist (Chongyue)]
Go-addict: [Big Brother is at the Yumen border. He doesn't usually look at his terminal. I'll go call him.]
Nian cast her gaze out the window. She remembered the direction Hong Yu had left in, and then went out, planning to use her connections to check the surveillance cameras on this street.
(Wei Yenwu, who was asked by Nian for surveillance access: Startled! (Φ皿Φ))

At this time, Ling put away her terminal. Next to her was an old acquaintance of hers—one of the gods of Yan, the Nine-Colored Deer.
"Speaking of which, I've never met that 'first Prefect' you all are always talking about. Sigh, what a pity. He was gone by the time I was preparing to pay him a visit," the beautiful white-haired woman said, pinching her chin and looking at Ling with a regretful expression.
"But, it seems now I still have a chance to get to know that 'first Prefect' and make friends with him," she said with anticipation, as if she had thought of something.
"You'd better not get too involved with him," Ling said warily, looking at the smiling beauty, which made the other party chuckle again.
"What, are you afraid I'll fall for your crush? Afraid I'll become your love rival?" the Nine-Colored Deer said with a teasing smile, looking at the wary Ling. She brought her face close and said, "What are you worried about?"
Ling pushed away the Nine-Colored Deer's face with a deadpan expression, took a sip from the wine gourd she carried with her, and then replied, "I'm not worried about myself. I'm just worried if that clueless straight man can handle you!"
"Oh my, oh my, so stubborn, Ling," the Nine-Colored Deer teased. "Are you getting flustered?"
Not paying attention to the Nine-Colored Deer's teasing, Ling continued to drink her sullen wine.
"Mmm... why does it feel like that sentence you just said carried a lot of personal resentment? Does he owe you something?"
"Owe me something?" Hearing this, Ling couldn't help but laugh. "Heh, him? Of course he owes me."
"Oh? What is it?"
Ling's slightly flushed cheeks, it was unknown whether it was because of the alcohol or because of what she was about to say.
She was silent for a while, and then squeezed out six words from between her teeth with gritted determination.
"He hasn't married me yet."
"Wow..." the Nine-Colored Deer was stunned for a moment, and then began to clap like a member of the cheering squad.

"A'Yao, I'm taking you to find your daddy," Xi said with a serious face, spreading out her painting and stuffing things inside, at the same time signaling the first A'Yao she had drawn to crawl in as well.
"Gao?" (Who's my daddy again?) A'Yao took a step back warily. Over the years, it had been stuffed into a painting by Xi for many reasons, and then used by its mistress to attract her ninth sister's attention so that the mistress herself could escape.
Xi's expression showed a hint of helplessness. Then she grabbed A'Yao's front limb and stuffed it into the painting.
"Sorry, A'Yao, it's an emergency. I don't have time to waste talking to you!"
"GAO!!!!"

"Shennong, where are you going?" Zuo Le, with a bundle of rice stalks on his shoulder, shouted at the departing Shu.
Now, Zuo Le had gotten used to the days of farming every day and bickering with He Sheng. To be honest, it was much more comfortable than the tiring days at the Sui Regulator.
These few days had allowed this once-arrogant candle holder prodigy to see the life of the common people. Now, he seemed much calmer as a whole.
"To find the real Shennong," Shu said with a gentle smile. The face that turned away was filled with a dangerous smile.
Yu, you can't run away.
