"Doctor Qi." This was the first time she had called him Doctor Qi, and she addressed him so formally. "Tell me where A-Xing went?"
Xiaoxiao immediately shouted, "Quack doctor, you can't tell my mother!"
"Do I need to obey your orders?" Qi Yuan said coldly, his aura growing even stronger.
Xiaoxiao was not intimidated. She lowered her voice and said, "Father said that no one can reveal his whereabouts."
"So this is the kind of obedient person Miss is," Qi Yuan said sarcastically. He sneered, "It's more accurate to say that Miss would rather her mother live than her father."
Xiaoxiao pursed her lips and didn't speak. Qi Yuan wasn't wrong; that was indeed what she thought. If you really wanted to break it down, Xiaoxiao didn't have any father-daughter feelings for Zhou Xing. She only felt awe and fear towards him. In her heart, her mother was more important than her father, which was a very normal thing.
Feng Guang stepped forward and said in an unyielding tone, "Qi Yuan, tell me where he is."
Xiaoxiao called out in dissatisfaction, "Mother!"
Moments later, a silver needle appeared on her neck. Xiaoxiao felt dizzy and her body swayed. Fengguang quickly caught her and looked at Qi Yuan, "What did you do?"
“She’s too noisy. It’ll be quieter if she’s quiet.” Qi Yuan hesitated for a moment, then walked over and pulled Xiaoxiao from Feng Guang’s arms into his own. He felt awkward, but he still said as usual, “When I was five years old, it was you who took me in. He taught me all my medical skills. In my heart, you are no different from my master.”
Therefore, if he had to choose, he would choose to sacrifice the glory.
Feng Guang was taken aback by his sudden explanation. She paused for a moment, then said, "I understand. You and Xiao Xiao both have your own choices."
"Over the years... Young Master has tried many methods, attempting to prolong his life with drugs and poisons, even conducting numerous experiments on himself, but all to no avail. Once the sixteen-year period is up, no one can change the final outcome." Qi Yuan suddenly didn't know why he was saying all this. He remained silent for a while. "You are the person Young Master is meant to protect. If you choose to live, that's perfectly understandable..."
Feng Guang interrupted him, "No need for so much talk. I've already made all the preparations. Just tell me where he is."
Qi Yuan looked at Uncle Fu, who had been waiting for a long time, and said, "Uncle Fu, you take her there."
Uncle Fu nodded.
Fengguang took a few steps, then looked back at the unconscious Xiaoxiao. The reluctance in her heart made her ruthless and she finally followed Uncle Fu away without looking back.
Under the loquat tree, only Qi Yuan and Xiao Xiao remain.
Qi Yuan stood quietly for a long, long time before suddenly realizing that he was still holding someone. He raised his hand and tore off the mask from Xiao Xiao's face, revealing a pale face that had been hidden from the sun for many years. This beautiful face bore a resemblance to Feng Guang.
Qi Yuan said irritably, "Everyone who wears a mask asks me for it, and I don't know where they get the nerve to yell at me like that."
As Xiaoxiao grew older, she resembled Fengguang more and more. In order to avoid arousing Fengguang's suspicion, she asked Qi Yuan for a mask.
Qi Yuan recalled that night, and he said with a cold smile, "Has Miss forgotten that if you want something from me, you have to pay a certain price?"
