Nan Zhu froze, instinctively stepping in front of Nan Zhu to block Shi Yin's view. But when she realized what was happening, her fingers trembled as she understood that if Shi Yin took it seriously, it would be tantamount to betrayal.
"Sister Yin, I didn't..." Nan Zhu finally lost all his composure. At this moment, his face was pale and he even looked somewhat helpless.
“I see. I was wondering before why Nan Zhu’s aura was so close to that of the New World.” Shi Yin sighed and emerged from her stealth state. “Actually, they’ve got the wrong person.”
"Haha, so you already noticed. But you're so sensitive to auras... is that what I guessed?" Nan Zhu came up to Shi Yin: "Nice to meet you. My name is Nan Zhu, the Zhu of bamboo."
"Are you bamboo?" Shi Yin raised an eyebrow in doubt.
"Yes," Nan Zhu replied fluently, his smile warm and his gaze gentle.
"It's a pity. If you two had switched roles, you should have been able to reach the top in different camps." Shi Yin crossed her arms, seemingly genuinely regretful.
Shi Yin was telling the truth. People all over the world have actually been infected with the virus. This is a long-standing conspiracy. These tiny viruses have long been integrated into the food and water of the world.
Helmod once led an expedition to trace these viruses, linking them to the ocean, rainfall, soil used for growing crops, fertilizer...
On one occasion, they traced back to the pinnacle of time travel, which was when time was still an embryo. Hermod led a team to investigate and discovered that 70% of the world had already fallen.
Nan Zhu's aura is too bright and out of place in the new world. She has already climbed to the top, but even so, she is still only one step away from the top. She is very strong.
As for Nan Zhu, Shi Yin's feeling was indeed correct; the aura emanating from him was strange and dangerous.
"It's alright, this means I've achieved my goal." Nan Zhu pointed to the Zhizhu candle: "If we really switched places, you'd be in for a headache."
"I will choose to ensure that you don't live to see this day," Shi Yin said truthfully.
"Haha, that's true." Nan Zhu said helplessly, "Now, what does Miss Shi Yin plan to do?"
“I can freeze you in ice and take you to Helmod,” Shi Yin suggested. “He should be very interested in you.”
“You absolutely can’t keep up with my speed.” Nan Zhu chuckled. “Are you going to risk your life for us, Miss Shi Yin?”
Shi Yin: "..."
“In this situation, that brute can only go out by himself. The surrounding sandstorms are deadly to ordinary people, but I can help you.” Nan Zhu didn’t say his name, but everyone knew that the so-called brute was Ye Shaoheng: “If he goes out by himself and leaves the people behind, that guy might have his Dao heart shattered.”
“Although I’ve only met him twice, that guy is someone who takes the well-being of all people as his own responsibility.” Nan Zhu pointed to the guqin on the ground: “Give this back to me, how about I see you out.”
"Okay." After a slight pause, Shi Yin quickly agreed.
Nanzhu: "Brother..."
“Little Bamboo… no, A-Zhu.” This time, Nan Zhu stepped forward and gently hugged Nan Zhu: “Keep moving forward, don’t look back.”
Nanzhu: "!"
Perhaps Nan Zhu should be glad he heard those words, or perhaps he never wants to hear them again.
When she was a child, Nan Zhu never imagined that being separated would cause such a big difference.
There are two identical twins in the small orphanage, but their preferences are completely opposite. The older brother likes long hair and is warm and enthusiastic like a little artist, while the younger brother is gloomy and introverted and hates socializing.
Everyone disliked the younger brother. They thought his eyes were fierce and that he had been a skilled fighter since childhood. Several of them tried to gang up on him, but instead, he knocked out two of their teeth.
However, complaining to the older brother was useless. The brothers were of one mind. The older brother would check the surveillance footage to see who was at fault. In the end, those people were beaten up by the younger brother and then lectured by the older brother for an hour.
The older brother must protect the younger brother.
Of course, the younger brother will protect his older brother. If he doesn't want to be found out of the surveillance blind spot and secretly beaten up, it's better to say less bad things about his older brother...
They are both geniuses, but the younger brother is clearly more talented and is number one in everything.
Life in the orphanage wasn't easy, but they helped each other and were surprisingly happy.
Then, suddenly, someone from the Nan family arrived.
This was the first time anyone had ever seen such a grand spectacle. The black, understated yet luxurious car was instantly recognizable, even with an unfamiliar license plate, indicating it was undoubtedly very valuable.
The car was opened by a kind butler and two bodyguards. However, when the director mentioned that there were twins, the butler said that they had only one child.
In reality, it was the Nan family head who recently made a great achievement, but someone with ulterior motives dug up his past and accused him of abandoning his wife and children.
His wife had long since died, so he could only look for his son. However, he didn't know that the child was a twin, only that it was a son. Upon hearing that the child was a twin, he planned to have a paternity test done, but his half-brother, Nankang, slightly altered the test report.
It's already tough enough with one younger brother trying to take his inheritance, but now two twins who look so alike are showing up. They might even be of one mind and come together. How much of his inheritance will he actually get?
After seeing the photos, Nankang chose the older brother without hesitation. The younger brother looked so gloomy and had such scary eyes that he might be here to seek revenge. The older brother, on the other hand, looked like a sunny little sun and seemed to have no ulterior motives.
The orphanage was surprised to hear this news. They thought the two brothers must be blood brothers because they looked so alike, but they never expected that they were not related by blood.
That day, my brother stayed another day under the pretext of saying goodbye.
The older brother got a haircut and swapped clothes with his younger brother.
From now on, you must imitate me... no, you must become Nanzhu.
Brother, I don't want to leave.
【But even if you stay at the orphanage, we won't see each other anymore. The Nan family is determined to take one child back. I have many friends here, and everyone likes me, but I'll be very worried if you stay here.】
Brother, you can come back to see me... and we're clearly brothers, they've got it wrong.
They didn't make a mistake, or rather, they absolutely couldn't make a mistake. If someone doesn't want to be related, even if we do a thousand paternity tests, they still won't be biological brothers. Listen to me.
The older brother was resolute, and the younger brother always listened to his older brother, so he had no choice but to go to the Nan family.
In fact, it was a lucky choice. The Nan family was rich, and everything they had—food, clothing, daily necessities, and tutoring classes—was top-notch. They had everything except love.
That day at the orphanage gate, the director was leading the younger brother's older brother, while the butler was taking away the older brother's younger brother.
That day, Nan Zhu turned around, and Nan Zhu's figure grew further and further away.
[Little Bamboo...no, A-Zhu, keep moving forward, don't look back!]
From then on, the older brother was the younger brother, and the younger brother was the older brother.
Nan Zhu is Nan Zhu, and Nan Zhu is Nan Zhu.
