The palace banquet went smoothly, perhaps because the King of Cairo was present or because of Zhou Yi's sudden appearance, which made Cheng Fu wary and refrained from further provocation throughout the evening. After enduring the meaningless banquet, Zhou Yi naturally departed with Shui Xuanjin.

Before leaving, he had intended to exchange greetings with his uncle and elder brother, but he sadly discovered that the two had already been engulfed by the surging crowd. After listening intently for a moment, he could only helplessly turn and leave.

These people were all approaching to establish connections, their flattery never ceasing. He understood in his heart that these people feared his innate identity as a strong individual and his association with Shui Xuanjin, which was why they dared not approach. However, if he were to take the initiative and approach them, he could guarantee that there would be no peace in the future.

With this thought in mind, Zhou Yi, lacking any sympathy, departed with Shui Xuanjin. As for Zhou Quanxin and the others, they could leisurely enjoy their socializing. After all, in the future, if Zhoujiazhuang wanted to prosper under their hands, such occasions would be inevitable.

As for himself, as long as he diligently cultivated and served as a strong support for Zhoujiazhuang, that would be enough.

The wheels of the carriage turned gently, like an unchanged song drifting lightly along the main road. Although he was seated inside the carriage and didn't witness it firsthand, Zhou Yi still sensed that wherever this carriage traveled, people would bow and even prostrate themselves.

These people were ordinary citizens of Tianluo Kingdom, and no one forced them to do so. They bowed before this carriage solely because it carried an old man who had guarded Tianluo Kingdom for over a hundred years.

As Zhou Yi witnessed the devout gestures of these people, he felt their thoughts. He sighed inwardly, realizing that if these people were to know that the old man before their eyes could no longer protect them for much longer, he wondered how saddened they would be.

Finally, the carriage stopped in front of Shao Ming Ju Residence. Shui Xuanjin stretched and yawned, saying, "Zhou brother, I'm going to rest now. You should rest too."

Zhou Yi was surprised. "Rest?"

"Yes," Shui Xuanjin's ears flickered like fans, and he continued, "I assure you, I won't eavesdrop on your activities anymore. You can do whatever you want without worrying about this old man."

An annoyed expression crossed Zhou Yi's face, but Shui Xuanjin immediately strode away, leaving behind only his hearty laughter echoing in the surroundings. The nearby attendants near the carriage looked on in astonishment. They couldn't possibly know why Master Shui suddenly laughed so joyfully, but they assumed it must have something to do with Master Zhou. The thoughts of innate powerhouses are truly unfathomable.

Shaking his head, Zhou Yi returned alone to the courtyard. Just as he entered, Yuan Lixun came out of the house, handing him a hot towel that had been prepared for him.

Zhou Yi took it and casually wiped his face. Yuan Lixun spoke in a soft voice, "Young Master, I have transcribed the secret manual for you."

Zhou Yi's eyes brightened, immediately recalling Shui Xuanjin's large ears and his terrifying, unparalleled sense of hearing. Such methods were truly extraordinary.

"Excellent, give me the handwritten copy. I want to cultivate."

Yuan Lixun turned and left, returning a moment later with both the handwritten copy and the original manuscript. Zhou Yi opened the handwritten copy and glanced through it, nodding in satisfaction. "You did a great job," he said, pausing for a moment before adding, "Much better than me."
