"But what?"
Seeing Xiaohua looking at her with an indescribable strange expression, Mu Fu hurriedly asked.
"My grandmother didn't know at first that Grandpa Sheng already had a wife. She fell in love with him at first sight and wanted to keep him together forever." Xiaohua said a little embarrassedly.
Mu Fu was stunned.
Xiaohua hurriedly explained, "But don't worry, Auntie. Grandpa Sheng was always as loyal as a rock and only cared about your mother. He didn't do anything to betray her. Later, my grandmother couldn't persuade Grandpa Sheng, so she had to let him go. But in the years since Grandpa Sheng left, I haven't been able to forget him, so I wanted to see him one last time before I leave this world."
"Leave this world? But didn't you just say that if nothing unexpected happens, you can live for hundreds of years?"
"Yes, but due to some reasons, my grandma doesn't have much time left..." Xiaohua whispered.
"I'm sorry, I..."
"It's okay, Auntie. We Luo people are just like you Chinese people. We don't fear life and death. Death is another kind of return. I'm not afraid, and neither is Grandma. She just didn't want to leave any regrets before saying goodbye to this world, so she sent me off the island to find Grandpa Sheng. But she didn't expect Grandpa Sheng to have passed away long ago."
"If your grandma knew, would she..."
"It won't be unbearable. She just won't believe it and think I'm just trying to fool her without putting my heart into it!"
"How could this happen?"
"Aunt, you don't know this, but my grandmother is proficient in alchemy. After Grandpa Sheng left, she raised an orchid."
"Youlan?"
"Yes, because of a spell, as long as Grandpa Sheng is alive, this orchid will not die. When I left, the flower was still alive and well. But Grandpa Sheng passed away many years ago. I don't know what went wrong in the meantime, but the flower is still alive. Grandma only believes what she sees with her own eyes, so she definitely won't believe me."
"Immortality is fine, but I never thought there would be such a mysterious magic in the world!"
"Auntie, don't you believe it? But this is indeed true. I swear to God that if I lie to you even a word, I will..."
Xiaohua was so anxious that she raised her hand and swore.
"No, I believe you." Mu Fu hurriedly stopped him, "There are many things in this world that I haven't seen, but it's impossible that just because I haven't seen it, it's fake. I'm neither idealistic nor materialistic. Humanity is limited, and it's impossible to know everything."
Xiaohua finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"Auntie, just trust me. The reason I asked Sister Xi to go back with me was to convince Grandma. Grandpa Sheng's granddaughter, plus this zither, there's no way I can deceive her."
"So that's how it is." Mu Fu nodded in understanding.
The kindness received will be remembered for thousands of years.
Although my father is no longer with us, the kindness he showed me back then and the love and affection he showed me in protecting the treasure over the years cannot just disappear like that. It is only right and proper for me to go and fulfill the old man's wish.
"In that case, let me accompany Xiaohua back."
"I'd better let me go, Mom. Besides this matter, there's also Mr. Yu's matter. I'll feel more at ease if I go in person."
"Professor Yu?"
"Well, the Little Flower Clan has guarded the holy spring for generations. Although the water in it cannot bring people back to life, it has the effect of prolonging life. I want to give it a try."
When talking about Mr. Yu, Mu Fu looked worried.
Something happened to the Le family not long ago.
Le Yi's younger brother Le Si is a real piece of shit. He is in huge debt due to failed investments, and he steals paintings and transfers property. He doesn't care about his sick old mother and even exchanges the precious medicinal materials for the old lady's treatment for money. The whole family is no different from rats that steal food!
