"So how old was he when you saved him?" Xia Sanghuan asked persistently.
"Judging from his appearance, he was probably just in his early thirties," the old Master Fu recalled and said.
If it were now, he would be in his sixties. It just matched the age of her master.
The girl bit her lower lip. No wonder her master would go on a long - distance trip every once in a while. So it was to exchange for this notebook?
"I didn't tell him my home address at that time. He probably thought I lived there, so we never met," the old man suddenly sighed.
"I did arrange people to wait for him, but it all ended up in vain."
So that was it. The girl felt a heavy weight in her heart.
"Why did you give this notebook to me?"
"I might die one of these days. I have to find someone to inherit this notebook," the old man said indifferently.
"And the owner didn't want me to lend this notebook out because he was afraid that some opportunists would profit from it. I don't think you're such a person." He glanced at his granddaughter.
"Moreover, your research is related to the Black - boned Spiritual Treasure. Maybe this notebook will come in handy. It's better than lying idle in my hands." As he spoke, he took another sip of tea, looking truly nonchalant.
But the girl knew that her grandfather chose her because she had refused to inherit the entire family fortune of the Fu family last night. He could tell that she cared more about the medicine jars in her hands and the patients in need of treatment than the money.
"Grandpa," she suddenly called out.
"Do you still remember the promise you made to me before?"
"Of course."
The girl stood up and looked at him firmly.
"I'd like to ask you to investigate the owner of this notebook. Is that okay?"
"You're giving me such a difficult task right away?" The old man looked up at her.
The girl was taken aback.
"I've also looked for him, but I haven't found him until now." A trace of weariness flashed in his eyes.
The girl felt bad seeing her grandfather like this. After all, since the day she met her master, he had been in seclusion in the deep mountains for a long time. Not to mention her grandfather, sometimes even she couldn't find her master.
Seeing her grandfather's attitude, she thought he wouldn't agree and couldn't help getting anxious.
"But you told me..."
"I know," the old man also stood up from the rattan chair.
"I promised you, so I will definitely keep this promise. Although I'm no longer the head of the Fu family, the people under me are still useful." He rubbed his waist and glanced at his granddaughter.
Xia Sanghuan quickly stepped forward and supported him.
"Thank you, Grandpa!"
...
"What's this?" Li Ran looked at the shabby notebook spread out on the table by the girl.
"This belongs to my master."
Li Ran hesitated for a moment, then picked up the notebook and flipped through it. It was indeed his friend's handwriting.
"Did you find Lao Cui's whereabouts?"
"Unfortunately, no," the girl sighed.
"This was given to my grandfather by my master more than thirty years ago."
"I see..." The principal put the notebook back disappointedly.
"My grandfather has started to help investigate my master's news. Although I don't know if we can find him, more people means more strength."
He nodded.
"Okay. Thank your grandfather for me."
After exchanging some more information with the principal, she walked out of the principal's office.
Not long after she left the office building, she was blocked by Shu Man.
Shu Man complained to her with a dissatisfied look on her face for not telling them her birthday.
At first, Xia Sanghuan was confused about how they knew she was having a birthday. Then the next second, she received a news push about herself.
Looking at the pictures in the news, she couldn't help feeling a headache. Thanks to her father, the gifts she received every day in the past few days almost filled up all the empty cabinets in the research room.
Since there were so many gifts, she had to take her assistants to transport them back every night when there were few people in the research building.
For some reason, Leng Chuanjin hadn't mentioned asking her to go back to the Leng family's residence for a while. He used to mention this almost every day.
Moreover, he rarely had physical contact with her. Although he still opened the car door for her and fastened her seat - belt, compared with the previous ambiguity, he now seemed more like an elder brother to a younger sister.
Why did they go back to the original relationship? Xia Sanghuan frowned and looked out of the window, ignoring the man.
What she didn't know was that it was not so much that Leng Chuanjin had changed, but rather that he didn't dare anymore. Although the two of them had crossed the line long ago, he still thought he had gone too far.
He was afraid that the momentary ambiguous atmosphere would mislead the girl about her true feelings for him. He was not sure at all whether she liked him or not.
Moreover, although the process was difficult, he still took her to watch a fireworks show and fulfilled his wish of watching fireworks with the person he liked.
This made him now seem like a well - fed monk. But Xia Sanghuan obviously didn't think so. She felt that she had been made a fool of by Leng Chuanjin.
"Have you contacted those two people for me?" Remembering the matter she had asked him to help with before, the girl asked in a low voice.
"I've contacted them. But we can't meet them for the time being," the man replied.
"Because they are still under interrogation. It's a special period during the interrogation, and they are hardly allowed to meet anyone. I've already asked the superior for the document, but it will take some time to get approved."
The man was always rigorous and efficient in handling affairs. Since they hadn't met after such a long time, it meant that there were indeed some troubles in the approval process of the document. It was probably related to the Xie family again.
"That notebook..." Leng Chuanjin suddenly said.
"What about the notebook?" Xia Sanghuan's heart skipped a beat, but she didn't show it.
"Nothing," he continued casually.
"Someone once told me that to save Jing Zhan, besides finding the Black - boned Spiritual Treasure, we also need to find the disciple of the legendary Medical Oddity."
"Yun Qi." After hearing these two words from his mouth, the girl's eyes dimmed.
Was he suspecting her? It was reasonable. She had been too obvious that night. Even her grandfather could tell, and Leng Chuanjin would only be more perceptive.
"Really?" She gently tightened her fingertips, but her face remained calm.
"I've indeed heard of the Medical Oddity before. But I don't remember he had a disciple named Yun Qi."
"It's normal," Leng Chuanjin turned the steering wheel.
"Yun Qi's whereabouts are even more secretive than the Medical Oddity's, not to mention that she's his last disciple. I sent people to investigate a lot of things before I found a little information about her."
