“Why didn’t you tell me that you were back, Baili Hanbin?!” Hanbin was studying on arrays and seals when a sudden commotion came from outside along with someone saying something with awkward-sounding Chinese.

His hand pausing for a moment as he held a stone, Hanbin turned towards the entrance to see the handsome face of a mixed-blood. “Eunwoo?”

Eunwoo stepped into the yard in a few steps, before walking in circles around Hanbin and saying, “You’ve improved, I’m sure you can make it into the ranking battles this year.”

Upon hearing this, Hanbin’s expression became depressed and he looked down at his legs. “How could I do that when I’m like this?”

“I thought you would have changed this time around, but you’re still the same!” Upon hearing this, Eunwoo smacked his palm onto the table in frustration, and he was about to say something before he remembered Chanyeol’s words and swallowed his words back into his stomach. “…Are you going to leave the ancient martial arts world again?”

“No.” Hanbin shook his head slightly as he looked at the completed array on the table. “I’ll just stay here and help out the youngsters of the Baili family.”

Eunwoo was satisfied when he heard the first part, but he held down his words again after hearing the latter part. “Fine, but that’s not what I’m here for today… Do you still remember that aunt of yours?”

“Of course.” Hanbin picked up another stone and placed it on the table. Even though his aunt hadn’t been back in China for a long time, they had always kept in contact.

“Okay, good. Lemme tell you something interesting.” Eunwoo whispered as if he was about to say something controversial. “I saw someone that looked just like your aunt the other day.”

Upon hearing this, Hanbin paused for a moment as he remembered the elegant face that had eyes that seemed to have a galaxy in them before he looked down slightly. “It’s common enough for people to look alike in the entire world.”

It wouldn’t be strange if it were just similarity in terms of looks, but with that talent, too…

“Aren’t you curious in the least?” Eunwoo didn’t know how Hanbin was so nonchalant about it. “Were you not curious at all about what she did in the two years that she was gone, and how she lost her memory?”

“She already planned to spend the rest of her life in England, and she won’t be coming back.” Hanbin waved his hand dismissively as if he didn’t want to continue on the topic any further. “No need to talk about this anymore.”

“Alright, if you say so.” Eunwoo rubbed his nose awkwardly. “I’ll be going in to see Grandpa Baili.”

After he walked in, Hanbin’s gaze moved up and he sighed, not setting down the stone in his hand for a while before he pulled out the piece of paper that Lisa left him the time she came here.

Even after mulling over it for a while, he still couldn’t calm himself.

After he got a call from his disciple, Rong Seungwon immediately rushed towards the Su family. He had diagnosed Master Su’s sickness before, and even he couldn’t do anything about it. Even though he was well known as the divine doctor, his specialty was more on creating antidotes and poisons, as well as traditional Chinese medicine, hence his hands were tied with Master Su’s sickness in particular.

Thankfully he had a jack of all trades in his disciple Jackson, and while he was displeased back when he started studying western medicine right after he finished learning traditional Chinese medicine, but as time went by he realized that western medicine had its pros too.
