Chapter 439: Chapter 440: Searching for Someone
At the same time, in another part of the same house, the man in white was panting deeply, with a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. The usually aloof Mu Shaoling was now solemnly taking the pulse of the man in white.
Sometimes he furrowed his brow, sometimes he relaxed it, and sometimes his veins seemed to bulge out.
"Shaoling, don’t worry like this. It’s the same as always, and I’m not going to die anyway," the man in white said indifferently.
"Although there is no threat to your life, having such an attack from time to time is enough to be unbearable," Mu Shaoling said gloomily. "It’s a pity that there is only one black pearl like this, and the medicine produced from it is limited."
"This black pearl is extremely precious, and even you and I don’t see it every day, how can we use it as medicine every day?"
After the man in white finished speaking, a servant brought him water to rinse his mouth. After he had rinsed his mouth, the servant brought him a bowl of porridge.
"Shaoling, you should eat some too!"
Thinking of the breakfast he had eaten earlier, Mu Shaoling shook his head with a smile, "I’ve already eaten."
Upon hearing this, a disapproving expression flashed through the man in white’s eyes.
Thinking of the purpose of his visit, he asked: "Is there any news about that matter?"
Talking about this matter, Mu Shaoling’s eyes lost their smile, and he shook his head: "Are you sure that Aunt Min’s family ended up here back then? Could there be a mistake in our search? We have been looking for several years, but there is no news at all and the investigation shows that no such person has ever appeared."
"Not necessarily, let’s try our best to search. But back then, Aunt Min’s family really did lose contact with everyone here. Let’s ask some long-time residents and see if there are any clues."
"Alright, I understand!"
Mu Shaoling nodded in response.
No doubt, Mu Shaoling and the man in white had come from Capital City to find someone this time. In fact, they had started looking a few years ago, but they had never found the person they were looking for. This is why every year after the New Year, Mu Shaoling would come to Quanya to help the man in white in this search.
However, it was not easy to find someone who had been missing for so many years. Who knew if they were still in this world?
"Keep your distance from that little girl in the future," the man in white said, after finishing discussing official matters.
"I’ve never been close to her, so how can I distance myself?" Mu Shaoling muttered. "Besides, you think it’s easy for me to get close to her? I, the young master, don’t have any special preferences for children."
The last few words were said through clenched teeth.
Upon hearing this, the man in white looked at him and said, "Shaoling, next month when you return to Capital City, come back with me."
"Mmm."
Seeing that Mu Shaoling agreed, the man in white finally relaxed.

Because Mu Shaoling said that Ye Zi’an’s leg needed about ten acupuncture sessions, and he also had to soak the entire leg in medicated water every day, it would take at least twenty more days before he could slowly practice walking again.
Yang Chuxia thought that since her father and herself were in the county, it was impossible for the Yang family to have no head. So after one more day, Yang Chuxia let Yang Dachuan return home first, while she and Fugui stayed with Brother An.
However, the treatment Mu Shaoling arranged for Brother An was quite intensive, so staying in Mu Residence became more bearable. Every day after resting in the morning and then soaking in the medicinal bath for three hours in the afternoon, he received acupuncture treatment every other evening. In just ten days, another ten days would pass, and Brother An could try to practice walking again.
Thinking of Brother An no longer being called a cripple by others, the corner of Yang Chuxia’s mouth turned up in a smile.
