Hearing the word ‘family members,’ an inexplicable emotion seemed to strike Zhi Tong’s heart.

Family—what a distant and unfamiliar word. It was so distant that he yearned for it, and it was so unfamiliar that it frightened him.

Gently lowering his eyes, Zhi Tong pursed his lips and said nothing. This made their hearts tighten, and their hearts ached for him.

“Zhi Tong, are you afraid?” Jian Ai suddenly asked.

Zhi Tong did not avoid the real thoughts in his heart. Hearing this, he answered, “A little.”

The source of his fear was that he had been out of touch with this world for too long, and it was also because he could not remember how long it had been since he had lived with others.

If he left with Jian Ai, everything in the future would be filled with unknowns for Zhi Tong. It was precisely because of these unknowns that Zhi Tong felt fear.

As he struggled, Zhi Tong felt a warmth in his hand. He looked up and realized that the Sect Master was squatting in front of him, clasping his hand.

Jian Ai looked at Zhi Tong with a warm and sincere gaze. There was a smile on her face as she said gently and slowly, “Don’t be afraid. You’re not alone in this world. You still have me, Bai Zhou, Yu Wuyuan, and Yun Buyao. Everyone will like and accept you. Trust me!”

“That’s right, Zhi Tong. You still have all of us. You’re so cute. Everyone will like you!” Yun Buyao leaned forward and smiled.

Yu Wuyuan also smiled and nodded. “Believe in yourself and us. Come with us!”

Everyone’s tone was exceptionally serious and fervent, making Zhi Tong’s already soft and weak heart feel greatly comforted.

In the end, Zhi Tong nodded slightly and revealed a pale and powerless smile. “Alright!”

Seeing this, the smiles on the three of them couldn’t help but deepen. Jian Ai also secretly heaved a sigh of relief.

At noon the next day, the four of them took a plane and left Italy. After over ten hours of flying, they safely landed in China.

Bai Zhou and the rest already knew about their return trip, so Chi Yang came to the airport to pick them up early.

As soon as they met, Chi Yang greeted Jian Ai and the rest before looking at Zhi Tong. He leaned over and said respectfully, “Lord Zhi Tong, long time no see!”

Many years ago, when Bai Zhou found Zhi Tong in San Marino, Chi Yang was also by his side. That was the first time he had seen Zhi Tong.

Now was the first time they had reunited after their last farewell. Because of the development in the power of the evil spirit, Zhi Tong was even paler than many years ago.

However, out of his understanding of the power of the evil spirit, Chi Yang did not show any surprise. This was because he knew that the change in Zhi Tong was because he had become stronger.

“Long time no see,” Zhi Tong greeted. Because it was just past noon, Zhi Tong’s voice was that of a normal adult male. This was also the only few hours in the day when he could make a voice that matched his age.

After getting into the car, Chi Yang drove straight to Xiao Zhen’s villa.

“Is Bai Zhou okay?” Jian Ai sat in the backseat of the driver’s seat and asked Chi Yang.

In fact, even without Chi Yang’s words, Jian Ai could more or less guess. Bai Zhou had never doubted his brother because the two of them were very close to each other. Even when facing such danger, Bai Zhou did not suspect him at all.

Therefore, when the truth was in front of them, the impact would hit Bai Zhou easier than any truth.

He was an extremely sentimental person. Moreover, his brother had attempted to assassinate him. Not to mention him, but how many people in the world could accept it calmly?

As expected, Chi Yang sighed softly. “Not good. This matter dealt a huge blow to him.”

As he spoke, Chi Yang’s expression gradually darkened. “Actually, I’m also a little affected by this matter. I’ve been by Master’s side for many years and am very familiar with Prince Qi Ye. In my impression, he’s a very good person. He’s loved by the people and favored by the King. I don’t know why he suddenly did such a thing. I think this is also the reason Master is troubled because he can’t figure it out.”

Yun Buyao sat in the front passenger seat and couldn’t help but look at Chi Yang curiously. “Chi Yang, can I ask about Bai Zhou and this Qi Ye? Are they biological brothers? Or do they have different mothers?”

Qiusi was a monarchy. As the name suggested, a king had to have a queen, and then there would be countless consorts. Be it the queen or the consort, the children they gave birth to would be recorded in the king’s book as princes and princesses.

Chi Yang shook his head. “No, Prince Qi Ye is Queen Julia’s child and the eldest son of King Yale. Master is Princess Diana’s child and the second child of King Yale. In terms of status, Prince Qi Ye is more noble!”

They were not brothers with the same mother.

This way, it was easier for them to accept this matter. Although Jian Ai had never seen Prince Qi Ye in person, let alone know him, from the information she knew so far, this Prince Qi Ye should be a very scheming person. He pretended to be a perfect prince in front of others, but behind their backs, he secretly controlled everything and even funded the international killer organization to serve him for many years.

Needless to say, Prince Qi Ye was in a dark place that others did not know about. His hands were probably already covered in blood.

Just the thought of it made Jian Ai gasp. He was a terrifying person.

When they returned to Xiao Zhen’s residence, Chi Lian, Xiao Zhen, and Si Yue came out to welcome them. Bai Zhou also came out!

As soon as she got out of the car, everyone surrounded her. The first thing Jian Ai did was introduce Zhi Tong to everyone.

Zhi Tong was very reserved, but a trace of redness filled his originally pale face because of nervousness. He suddenly looked much livelier.

Over the past few days, they had already understood the information and uniqueness of Zhi Tong, so they were mentally prepared. They were not as surprised as Jian Ai and the rest when they first saw him.

Everyone was very friendly, and they were all the twelve guards. This gradually eliminated the nervousness in Zhi Tong’s heart and made him feel at ease.

After returning to the villa, everyone sat on the sofa in the living room. Chi Lian spoke first, “Sect Master, from your call, you plan to let Irene and the rest go?”

Jian Ai nodded. This was what she had promised Hans, and it was also the condition the two of them had negotiated and reached a consensus on. “Yes, let Yu Wuyuan undo the sword aura sealed in their bodies later and let them leave.”

“What if they make a comeback?” Xiao Zhen was still a little worried. He couldn’t help but say, “These people aren’t weak. Letting them go will probably cause trouble in the future!”
