He knew early on that such a major achievement as ending the insect plague could not fall on a small person like him, even if it was indeed him who contributed the poison formula.

However, he originally thought that Shan Yangzi might have a chance to win this honor and leave his name in the history books.

Now that it's better, Shan Yangzi doesn't have that chance anymore, and Zhou Mingde feels much more balanced instantly.

Of course, he would never show this to himself. Instead, he went to Shanyangzi with a shocked expression to inquire about the situation.

Shan Yangzi's mood at this moment was naturally extremely depressed and complicated.

Although giving up his name gave him more benefits, that was obviously not his original intention.

Therefore, when faced with Zhou Mingde's prying, he said angrily: "Why do you, fellow Taoist Zhou, pry so much? Since it is a matter decided by the seniors, of course we and the younger generation can only choose to obey it!"

The unwillingness in his words can be heard by everyone.

Seeing this, Zhou Mingde felt secretly happy.

But there was still a worried look on his face and he whispered: "Then the reward that was promised at that time..."

"Don't worry. Since I promised you in the first place, I will definitely not default on the debt. But now the seniors are still discussing specific matters with the ancestors of our sect. You just need to wait more patiently, Brother Daoist Zhou!"

Shan Yangzi glanced at him, waved his hand gently, and answered.

His impatient look made Zhou Mingde dare not say any more.

At that moment, I could only say immediately: "Senior, when do you plan to return to Jingguo? To be honest, this junior has been away from home for a long time, and he really cares about the juniors in the family. Now he just wants to return to the family as soon as possible to tell them that he is safe!"

Hearing his words, Shan Yangzi couldn't help but narrow his eyes and looked him up and down.

After a while, he said to him calmly: "If you want to go back by yourself, then do it yourself. Now that the insect plague has been extinguished, I will not stop you anymore!"

"Thank you for your understanding, senior. I would like to wish you that all your wishes will come true and everything goes well!"

After Zhou Mingde finished speaking, he bowed deeply to him again and then left.

A few days later, Zhou Mingde, who returned to Dayun Kingdom, took Zhou Jiapeng and others on the road back to Jingguo.
