Gu Xiqiao looked at Emery, then reached her hands into her pocket where her inventory was, digging around for a bit before finally pulling out a tattered, ancient book. She held the book with both hands, presenting it to Emery. “This is what you gave me in the beginning, and it solved a lot of doubts for me. I’d like to return it to its rightful owner now.”

Emery looked at the book, then shook his head faintly. “Man Man left me because of this thing. I don’t want this book anymore, keep it.”

Yu Man and Rong Feishuang had gotten into a big disagreement because of this book, and it was also the cause of her leaving the house in anger. She had disappeared without a trace for twenty years, and no one knew where she had gone. Emery had scoured the entire Delxun Forest for her for twenty years, and he still hadn’t found her. He swore that he wouldn’t ever use his medical skills if he couldn’t find her.

For these twenty years, he resembled a walking corpse, until he received a call from Rong Feishuang.

At that time, the first reaction he had was disbelief. He couldn’t believe that she was gone just like that.

After he fell into depression for a long time, he slowly picked himself up. That person had been afraid to be alone since she was young, and being alone in the ground, he couldn’t imagine how fearful she would feel, and so he expanded all his efforts and finally managed to locate her home in N City.

At that time, if he hadn’t thought that she disappeared into Delxun Forest, but searched the entire world instead, it probably wouldn’t have ended like this, right?

Twenty years have passed, and Emery has changed drastically. There were more wrinkles on his face, and his hair had turned white.

But his face was as peaceful as ever, and just looking at him, who would have thought that he used to be a Western doctor with extremely good medical skills?

Gu Xiqiao didn’t press nor stay any longer after that. She held the book in her hand as she made her way slowly down the mountain.

“Sister Gu!” When she was halfway down, a white figure suddenly rushed towards her.

The voice sounded familiar, and that mass of white was stopped abruptly in mid-air when it was a few centimeters away from him.

A slender, white hand had lifted the figure directly up in the air.

The person who had been picked up was feeling light-headed from the sudden movement, and when he turned, he was met with a pair of chillingly cold eyes. He couldn’t help but shiver at the intense gaze, and shrank into himself.

“Shi Tou?” Gu Xiqiao looked at the figure that Jiang Shuxuan held in his hands, and instantly recognized him.

Jiang Shuxuan also narrowed his eyes and studied the person he held, and with his mental power, he naturally knew that this was Shi Tou. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have just used his hands to lift him up.

He studied Shi Tou for a little while more before loosening his hold, dropping him on the ground. Shi Tou still ended up staggering, and also falling on his butt!

“Y-Y-You… why do you still look the same?!” He stared at Jiang Shuxuan for a long time, clearly startled.

Twenty years had passed, why did he not look any different at all?

Jiang Shuxuan raised his head, glancing at Shi Tou. “In another sixty years, I’ll still look like this. And you, you’ll look like that.”

His long, white fingers pointed at where Emery was standing.
