"Thank you, Elder Bai!"
Ling Feng received the medicinal tome with both hands and bowed respectfully in gratitude!
Seeing this, Bai Yunyan smiled faintly and waved his hand, saying, "Heh heh, this thing is still somewhat useful in your hands. Take it, take it. Remember to teach Shuai Nan a lesson later."
"Rest assured, Elder Bai!"
"Heh heh, alright, go call that brat Shuai Nan over here. I have a few things to tell him, and then I should be on my way!"
Bai Yunyan waved his hand casually, then turned around. His once upright figure now appeared somewhat stooped.
Ling Feng shook his head and said no more.
Bai Yunyan's illness was not something that medicine could cure. Moreover, Bai Yunyan was known as the King of Medicine, and his knowledge of medicinal use was far beyond Ling Feng's.
Since Bai Yunyan's decision was made, there was no point in saying more!
Ling Feng walked outside and said, "Shuai Nan, Elder Bai wants to see you."
"Ah? Big Brother, why didn't you bring the wine?"
Lin Shuai Nan, while serving Xiuxiu, looked at Ling Feng with empty hands!
"Aiya! I've had enough! Lin Shuai Nan, are you trying to stuff me to death? Go quickly and see what Elder Bai wants you for!"
Xiuxiu lost her temper and slapped Lin Shuai Nan away.
Ling Feng looked at the mountain of food piled on Xiuxiu's plates and couldn't help but shake his head. Lin Shuai Nan's brain was indeed wired differently from ordinary people!
"Daddy Bai, you called me? Heh heh, are you going to give me some good wine?"
Lin Shuai Nan, with a mischievous grin, clung to half the doorframe, revealing half his head.
"Heh heh, I do have some things to give you, but it's not wine. Come in."
Bai Yunyan put down his teacup and beckoned.
Lin Shuai Nan chuckled and leaned closer, "Daddy Bai, I know you're rich, but you're already old. Even if you have money, you can't always give it to me. Save some for your own retirement!"
"Haha, this time, besides money, I have some other things to give you."
*Click!*
Bai Yunyan opened a large box, which contained another box, and upon opening that, another box...
"Matryoshka dolls?"
Lin Shuai Nan looked bewildered.
At the same time, he was excited!
Something packed so meticulously must be good!
After opening twelve boxes, they were filled with a pile of documents.
"These are all my properties. There are over three thousand in Nanyun, and I haven't counted them carefully. There are also properties in other places, all given by those who sought medicine! You'll have places to stay when you travel."
"However, those people are cunning. If they know you're my adopted son, they'll definitely come to you for medicine. So, if you find it troublesome, just sell them!"
Bai Yunyan threw all the items in his hands to Lin Shuai Nan as if discarding trash.
This made Lin Shuai Nan freeze!
"Hey, why are you giving all these houses to me? Daddy Bai, don't you have cancer? Aren't you about to kick the bucket?"
Even Lin Shuai Nan, with his peculiar train of thought, sensed something was wrong.
Bai Yunyan's body stiffened at his words, and he immediately slapped Lin Shuai Nan on the head!
"Cancer, my foot! Are you wishing for this old man to die? These things are for you to keep safe!"
"Ouch... So I'm just keeping them? I thought you were giving them all to me!"
Lin Shuai Nan cried out in pain.
"Hey, that's not right. Why are you giving all these things to me to keep safe?"
"Brat, why so many questions? Take them if I give them to you! And these cards, I haven't even remembered how much money is in them. The password is six sixes!"
Bai Yunyan threw out a pile of bank cards, many of them from well-known banks with minimum deposit requirements!
A rough estimate might put the total in the hundreds of billions, but the exact amount was hard to tally.
"As I said, I need to go into the mountains to find... a spiritual herb. I might not be able to come out for half a year or a year. During this time, you need to keep these things safe. If, by any chance, I don't return, these things will be yours. If I do return, you'll give them back to me!"
Lin Shuai Nan's heart sank upon hearing this, and he quickly asked:
"You old rascal, are you hiding something from me? I'm telling you, my brain isn't good, so don't try to fool me. With so many things, I'm afraid people will rob me if I take them out!"
"Be quiet!"
Suddenly, Bai Yunyan turned and hugged Lin Shuai Nan, whispering into his ear.
Lin Shuai Nan froze, then felt something cold being placed in his embrace.
"What the..."
"Brat, listen carefully. You must keep this item safe. It must never fall into anyone else's hands! You can't give it away, even if you die! Do you hear me?"
Bai Yunyan's expression was more serious than ever before.
Lin Shuai Nan's heart skipped a beat. He touched the cold object on his chest and solemnly promised:
"Daddy Bai, don't worry, I'm the best at keeping things! I won't give this to anyone, not even my wife if she asks!"
Lin Shuai Nan patted his chest as a guarantee!
Hearing this, Bai Yunyan finally nodded.
He had chosen Lin Shuai Nan precisely for this trait, which was why he trusted him so much!
"Good! Don't miss me! We'll meet again!"
Bai Yunyan patted Lin Shuai Nan heavily on the shoulder, then turned, put on his bamboo hat, slung his medicine basket over his shoulder, and walked directly outside!
"Hey, wait, Daddy Bai, you haven't eaten anything yet!"
"I'll eat on the road!"
"No, it's already dark, are you going into the mountains to sleep? You... be careful, you old rascal. You said these things were for me to keep safe, so you'll have to take them back later!"
Seeing that he couldn't catch up to Bai Yunyan, Lin Shuai Nan shouted loudly.
Bai Yunyan had clearly used a powerful movement technique. By the time Lin Shuai Nan reached the doorway, Bai Yunyan was already near the mountaintop!
"Go back!"
Bai Yunyan turned his head and waved towards the mountain below!
"You old rascal, be extremely careful! I'm still waiting to introduce you to a companion!"
Lin Shuai Nan shouted again at the top of his lungs.
*Crack!*
A bolt of lightning flashed across the sky. After the sudden burst of light, everything around them became incredibly dark.
Bai Yunyan's figure was no longer visible!
A hat, a basket, a person!
A blade of grass, a tree, a mountain!
At this moment, they were completely merged into one!
"Lin Shuai Nan, what are you shouting about?"
Xiuxiu, hearing Lin Shuai Nan's shouts, immediately dropped her bowl and ran out.
*Drip, drip...*
Raindrops began to fall. A warm drop slid down his eye, and Lin Shuai Nan reached up to touch it.
"Huh? Why is this rain warm? Is Heaven on fire?"
