Over on Fu ngchuan’s side, because Gu Xiyue was coming, Fu Xiyan did not go with him. However, he couldn’t trust Fu ngchuan completely, so he had already inford the Imperial Capital Hospital in advance.
"I see." ng Yunhe softly noted, then asked, "What about the others? Why haven’t I seen them?"
With Old Master Fu suddenly taken ill, almost all the Fu Family mbers were ho, yet today, not a single one was seen.
As Fu Xiyan led them upstairs, he replied, "The second brother is in his room, Aunt went ho, and Fu Yingying went back to school."
This morning, Fu Yingying and Fu Wangchan had a disagreent over sothing; Fu Wangchan tore one of Fu Yingying’s paintings, which led Fu ngyao to hit Fu Wangchan.
Imdiately after ng Huazhu helped Fu ngyao beat Fu Wangchan, they ended up fighting each other.
When Fu ngchuan ca ho, he said a few words to Fu ngyao, and sohow the two ended up quarreling, leading to Fu ngyao storming out in anger.
As she left, she took Fu Yingying with her, saying she was taking her back to school.
Upon hearing that Fu ngyao and Fu Yingying were not ho, ng Yunhe let out a small sigh of relief.
Fu ngyao, Fu Yingying, and Fu Wangchan seed to be perpetual rivals, always arguing as soon as they t.
Though ng Yunhe didn’t often visit the Fu Family, he had witnessed their conflicts several tis, and although he enjoyed a bit of drama, not family drama.
In such situations, he typically kept his distance whenever possible.
Besides Old Master Fu, the old butler was also present in the elder’s room.
As soon as Fu Xiyan and the others entered, the old butler looked back.
Realizing it was Fu Xiyan and the others, the old butler imdiately stood up to greet them.
The group nodded towards the old butler.
After approaching Old Master Fu’s bedside, Fu Xiyan and the others all turned their attention to Gu Zhiqi.
Understanding their intent, Gu Zhiqi sat beside the bed and checked the old master’s pulse.
Then, he conveniently used the Illusion Pupil to scan the old master’s condition.
Just as Gu Xiyue had said, the old master’s Vital Breath and destiny were rapidly draining away.
Vital Breath represents longevity; the old master was being robbed of both destiny and lifespan.
After checking the old master’s pulse, Gu Zhiqi reached into his pocket and took out two sheets of Talisman Paper.
The Talisman Paper twirled around his index and middle fingers, and amidst flickering lights, one Talisman Paper was folded into the shape of a triangle, while the other beca a paper crane.
He placed the Triangular Talisman in Old Master Fu’s hand, then turned to Fu Xiyan and said, "Until we find the cause, the Triangular Talisman needs to be kept close at all tis and should never be removed."
Hearing this, Fu Xiyan imdiately nodded and then glanced at the old butler.
The old butler understood instantly, nodding at Fu Xiyan, "Young Master, don’t worry, I will ensure the talisman stays safe."
Fu Xiyan nodded.
Beside them, ng Yunhe eagerly watched Gu Zhiqi and asked, "Master Gu, have you found the cause?"
He had examined the old master’s condition before but could only see that the Vital Breath and destiny were inexplicably waning, with no discernible cause.
"Not yet, but it may lead us to the answer," Gu Zhiqi said as he held up the paper crane.
Hearing this, ng Yunhe started staring intently at the paper crane.
The three standing nearby also gazed at the paper crane in Gu Zhiqi’s palm with eyes full of curiosity and a hint of inquiry.
After watching the paper crane for just two or three seconds, it suddenly moved, flapping its wings and taking flight.
Then, it flew towards the balcony.
Upon seeing this, Gu Zhiqi imdiately stepped forward to follow.
Except for the old butler, who had to stay with Old Master Fu, the others all followed Gu Zhiqi out.
