Chapter 71: The Last Words

In the waiting hall of the Swallow Capital Alliance Aerospace Airport, thousands of young men and women were chatting excitedly. If one was close enough, they would hear that these young men and women were talking about their yearning to enter the Fairy Planet.
Of course, not everyone was happy. You Huli, who was among them, was unhappy. In fact, being able to enter the Fairy Planet was his biggest wish. After passing the test though, he had deliberately taken a day off to see Di Jiu and tell him that he was about to go to the Fairy Planet, only to find out that Di Jiu was no longer at the Apricot Lake Hall. Actually, he also heard that the Apricot Lake Hall had been involved in some bad incidents, which made him feel very worried about Di Jiu.
Although he wanted to investigate what had happened to him, he did not have the time, so all he could do was push this regret back into his heart.
He was unhappy because he believed that he had helped Di Jiu far less than Di Jiu had helped him. Ever since he had gone back to college, he had been thinking about what Di Jiu would have done if he were in his position. Would he have given up an opportunity to enter the Fairy Planet and stayed behind to look for him?
Just thinking about this was pure torment. Therefore, even though entering the Fairy Planet was his greatest desire, he was not happy about it at the moment.
Shen Ziyu, who was also unhappy, had been thinking about Aunt Fang’s words.
While she had been in a coma, she had not received any treatment. Her parents had not had the time to rush to Luo Jin, so the person who had stayed in her room the longest time had been Di Zimo. Therefore, if there had been any kind of treatment, it must have been performed by Di Zimo.
Shen Ziyu knew Di Zimo very well. Although he loved her deeply, she was well aware of his abilities.
She was now going to the Fairy Planet and, given the opportunity, she might not return to Earth ever again. If this actually happened, she would never find out who had actually saved her.
…
In the innermost VIP ward on the fifth floor of the Chinese Medicine Affiliated Hospital of the Swallow Capital University, a middle-aged man with gray hair was lying in bed.
When a tall and thin young man walked in and saw the middle-aged man on the bed, he sighed and carefully walked over to adjust his quilt.
The middle-aged man suddenly opened his eyes and said weakly, “Ziheng…”
“Dad? Are you awake?” Di Ziheng squatted down excitedly. His father had finally regained his consciousness.
The middle-aged man sighed and said with difficulty, “Lock the door.”
“Ah…” Although Di Ziheng did not quite understand his father’s intention, he still followed his instructions. He had always obeyed his father and elder brother ever since he had been a child.
When he locked the door and walked to his father’s bedside again, his father said weakly, “Ziheng, I won’t live much longer…”
“Dad, you should be taken to the Lihe Hospital in the Swallow Capital. The dean of the Affiliated Hospital of the Chinese Medicine University may be good, but this hospital has not managed to cure your illness…”
Before Di Ziheng could finish, he was interrupted by Di Wencheng, who was lying in the hospital bed gasping for breath. “Listen to me…” he said.
Di Ziheng, who was obviously worried about his father, quickly put an end to this conversation. “Dad, don’t worry.”
Di Wencheng took a few mouthfuls of air as he said slowly, “I’m not worried. I am a friend of Director Zhao’s. If I had not been admitted here, I would have died.”
“Dad…” Di Ziheng wanted to say something, but as he thought of his father’s state, he swallowed the words back forcibly.
Di Wencheng looked at Di Ziheng and said, “I know that I won’t be able to recover. You must leave the Swallow Capital immediately, find your brother and go someplace else with him… Don’t take too much money with you and don’t use anything that you own right now…”
After speaking in one breath, Di Wencheng gasped once again. The fear in his eyes had not decreased much. He knew very well that his two sons’ tricks would be no match for that woman.
He had tried his best to survive, but this was not something he could control. He now regretted not taking measures earlier and ending up in this situation. It was too late for regrets, though. His only hope was asking his two sons to escape and save their lives.
If that woman had dared mess with him, then she would definitely dare mess with his sons.
Di Ziheng looked at Di Wencheng dumbly, unable to understand what he meant.
Even though he had not inherited the Di Group, he was still Di Wencheng’s son. Was it really necessary to leave the country? Had it not been proven that his elder brother was not his father’s biological son? Was father so sick that he had started talking nonsense?
After a few gasps, Di Wencheng calmed down and added, “Your brother is the true heir of the Di Clan Group. You and your brother are biological brothers. You just have a different mother… I might not have taken care of your brother, but I am not mistaken about my sons…”
Di Ziheng was silent. Was his father confused?
Di Wencheng, who seemed to read his son’s thoughts, said, “I am sober now… Remember my words. When you leave this ward, you will go find your brother Zimo… Zimo’s mother is Xun Lenghan, and your mother is Xing Shuang… Don’t hesitate… Your current mother, Xi Xiumin, is not related to you or your brother. She just wants to have the Di Clan Group and find out its secrets… This is all my fault… Don’t tell anyone in the Di Clan what I just told you. Anyone…”
Di Wencheng had spoken in one breath again, so he felt so tired that he had to close his eyes. He did not mention anything else about the secrets of the Di Clan Group.
Di Ziheng stood up and bowed before his father, who had already fallen asleep. “I will listen to you and go find my brother now, dad.”
It seemed like his father knew that Di Ziheng had listened to him, as his furrowed brows relaxed slowly.
…
As soon as he left the Wang Chuan Mountain Range, Di Jiu tied up his long hair. He planned on going to Luo Jin to see You Huli off and visit Qi Xiang at the Swallow Capital before going to the Swallow Capital Alliance Aerospace Airport to take a flight to the Fairy Planet.
It was a pity that he did not have a flying sword. If he did, then he would be able to fly with it. He had to get a flying sword when he visited the Fairy Planet.
Unfortunately, Di Jiu could not find You Huli or Teng Ling’er, You Huli’s girlfriend. When he checked the North Luo University Dean’s List, he discovered that You Huli had passed the Fairy Planet test and gone to the Fairy Planet with a group of elite disciples.
“Brother!” Di Jiu had just walked out of the gate of North Luo University, when he heard an uncertain shout.
He was still not accustomed to using his intuition, so he turned around unconsciously. He immediately saw a young man with a slightly pale face and sunglasses.
As soon as Di Jiu turned around, Di Ziheng knew without a doubt that this was his brother Di Zimo. Although he looked much stronger than before and his mental strength, Qi, and alertness were completely different, he still looked the same.
As Di Ziheng walked forward in delight, Di Jiu stopped. He waited for his brother to come close before he asked, “Di Ziheng?”
“Yes, my brother. It’s Di Ziheng,” Di Ziheng said with joy. He had not seen his brother in at least five years.
Di Jiu was not as excited as Di Ziheng. He was also not interested in the property of the Di Clan’s manufacturing business. If he wanted to, he could easily found an organization way more powerful than the Di Clan Group. However, his heart was not into this, so he would rather spent all his energy on cultivating.
“Why have you come looking for me?” Di Jiu asked indifferently.
Di Ziheng knew where Di Jiu was coming from. His brother had been forcibly evicted from the Di Family by his mother after all. He’d had to depend on himself for years, so it would have been strange if Di Jiu had been happy to see him.
“Brother, our father is in a critical condition. I would like to find a place where I can talk to you alone,” Di Ziheng said as he looked at Di Jiu.
Di Jiu looked away from Di Ziheng and nodded. “Alright, you lead the way.”
He had thought that the two men who had been following Di Ziheng were his security guards, but now it seemed like they had been stalking him. He and Di Ziheng had been raised like brothers after all, so it would not take much of his time to have a conversation with him.
After more than 10 minutes, the two of them reached a remote coffee shop in Luo Jin.
When they sat down, Di Ziheng told Di Jiu everything that Di Wencheng had said. Then, he asked, “Brother, do you think we should listen to father or return to the Swallow Capital to reclaim the Di Clan Group?”
“What do you mean?” asked Di Jiu.
Di Ziheng clenched his fist and said, “Why should that woman take possession of the property of the Di Clan Group? She must have manipulated the rest of the family…”
Di Jiu stood up, patted Di Ziheng on the shoulder and smiled. “If that’s the case, then why hesitate? Go! Return to the Swallow Capital and get the Di Clan Group. However, you will have to reclaim the Di Clan Group by yourself. I have to go treat father’s illness first.”
The reason Di Jiu would help was that, after conversing with Di Ziheng for a while, he had concluded that Di Ziheng was a good person. Although he and Di Ziheng had no personal connection, they were brothers with the same father and different mothers. The other reason was that he was about to go to the Swallow Capital anyway, so he would not have to change his plans.
“You know how to treat illnesses?” Di Ziheng had not paid attention to Di Jiu’s tone. All he had heard was that Di Zimo could treat illnesses.
“Yes, a little.” Di Jiu smiled. He was not interested in being involved in the Di Clan’s power games, so as soon as he treated his father, he would clean up this mess and head to the Fairy Planet.
