Uncle Zhou could no longer hold back his tears, “Madam, as long as you are determined, mother and child will be safe. You and the child must both survive, otherwise, the young master would…”
Ning Wan Wan suddenly recalled Si Zhan’s lonely figure…
Si Zhan stood steadily in the courtyard, looking towards the moon gate. Suddenly, a heart-rending cry came from the delivery room: “Ah! Brother Zhan!”
This book is about to end, so here’s a request for pre-orders of the next book “Marrying the Nemesis”. Pre-orders are crucial for the author to start a new book. Love you all, muah.
Ning Wan Wan looked steadily at Yuan Zhu and said only: “You can rest assured.”
Yuan Zhu no longer blocked her path, allowing Ning Wanwan to follow the young boy into the mountain.
Guided by the boy, Ning Wanwan did not discover any peculiar formations in the rootless mountain. He quickly brought her to a pavilion in the middle of a lake, where a white-haired person in a blue robe sat in a reclining chair, fishing.
Seeing the person’s back, Ning Wanwan frowned, feeling it seemed familiar. Just as she was about to ask the boy, she realized he had disappeared. After looking around and seeing no one else but the person in the pavilion, she walked across the bridge.
“Wife of the Qian Nan Yiwang, Ning clan, pays respects to the mountain hermit,” Ning Wanwan greeted.
Gui Wudu remained motionless, facing away from her.
Ning Wanwan called out again: “Wife of the Qian Nan Yiwang, Ning clan, pays respects to the mountain hermit.”
Gui Wudu finally yawned, rubbed his eyes, stood up, stretched, turned around, and smiled: “Yiwang’s wife, we meet again.”
“You?” Ning Wanwan was shocked, recognizing the familiar face. After a moment, she realized, “You are that traveling physician from before!”
“Indeed,” Gui Wudu smiled.
Once she learned the true identity of the traveling physician, Ning Wanwan was horrified.
Recalling previous events and Gui Wudu’s efforts to bring her here, she cautiously stepped back, staring at him, “What exactly do you want?”
Gui Wudu laughed: “Don’t worry, I won’t harm you.”
Ning Wanwan coldly replied: “Why should I believe you?”
“Because of this.” Gui Wudu slowly pulled out two long silver needles. As he removed them, his childlike face transformed into one remarkably similar to Si Zhan’s.
