Chapter 268 (1/2)

When Shao Xuan opened his eyes, his vision was very blurry. Only becoming clearer after a while.

The face of the Wu and Shou Ling appeared above him. “Ah Xuan, how are you?” Ao asked sound worried

For Shao Xuan, it took quite some power to just sit up. Wu handed a cup of water to Shao Xuan to drink, which helped relieve a bit of his headache.

“I’m okay” Shao Xuan answered weakly.

”You don’t look okay.”

Ao poured more water into the cup. Shao Xuan felt that he was recovering and proceeded with telling Ao what happened at the cabin.

Ao was relieved when he heard that nothing bad happened to Shao Xuan.

“Is that all?” Ao took the wooden plate and barrel with the gold dust.

“Yes, What happened to the leaves?”Shao Xuan asked.

Ao and Wu looked at each other and then shook their heads. “I’ll go and ask again, no, I’ll go to the wooden cabin myself,” said Ao.

“I’ll go and see too.” Shao Xuan stood up.

“I’ll go too,” Wu said.

Once again, Shao Xuan came back to the wooden house. Shao Xuan pointed to the place where he had held the leaves before.

Only, the leaves were gone.

“Has anyone else been in here?” Ao asked.

Shao Xuan shook his head, “There shouldn’t have been. Recently, the people around here have busy with the two thieves, how could they have come to this house?”

Wu walked around the house, then stayed in the place where Shao Xuan fainted, crouched, stretched out his arm and brushed on the ground.

“The leaves are dead,” said Wu.

“Dead? When I took it out, the leaves looked fresh and green.”Shao Xuan was amazed.

But if Wu said that they were dead, then they really were dead.

After going back to the stone house, Wu told Shao Xuan to stay behind. “Do you know what your hand positions were in while you were unconscious?” asked Wu.

“I don’t know.”Shao Xuan shook his head.

“The leaf you were holding might be a leaf of eternal youth,” said Wu.

“Is there really such thing as leaf of eternal youth?” Shao Xuan was doubtful
