Chapter 438: Chapter 438: Just to Fulfill My Wish

Shi Yaoguang was thinking about how to find that object when she turned and saw Quan Jinbei pressing his hands against his temples, his eyebrows tightly knit together, appearing to be in great pain.

She immediately became nervous, "What’s wrong with you?"

Quan Jinbei’s brows were furrowed, and he waved at her, his eyes tinted with confusion.

Shi Yaoguang waited until his expression eased before asking, "Third Master, do you feel better now?"

Quan Jinbei nodded, but his expression remained solemn.

Shi Yaoguang keenly sensed that something was amiss and hurriedly asked, "What just happened?"

Quan Jinbei recounted the recent incident.

"I had some strange images flash through my mind; I’m sure they weren’t part of my past experiences, nor do they seem familiar..."

Hearing this, Shi Yaoguang narrowed her eyes and pressed on, "Do you remember what kind of images they were?"

Quan Jinbei answered truthfully, "I couldn’t see them very clearly, but I vaguely saw ice glaciers..."

Ice glaciers?

Shi Yaoguang thought carefully; she had also been to ice glaciers during her quick-travelling tasks.

However, that was a long time ago, and besides, the ice glaciers Jinbei saw and the ones she’d been to were likely not the same place.

Thinking this, she let the matter go, but a vague emotion still lingered in her heart.

Seeing her thoughtful expression, Quan Jinbei asked, "What are you thinking?"

Shi Yaoguang shared her thoughts, "...However, we didn’t know each other before, so even if it were ice glaciers, they couldn’t possibly be the same ones."

Upon hearing this, Quan Jinbei frowned, "What did the ice glacier you visited look like?"

"The glacier was vast, imposing and extensive..." Shi Yaoguang replied but felt her description was obvious, as most glaciers are quite large.

With that in mind, she changed her description, "The glacier I’ve seen is probably different from the one you’ve seen."

"What’s different?" Quan Jinbei continued to ask, his tone clearly urgent.

Shi Yaoguang didn’t immediately answer but instead countered, "Third Master, you seem to be quite interested in the glacier I’ve been to?"

Quan Jinbei nodded, "The images I just saw seemed to include a woman..."

He stopped there, but his point was clear.

He felt that the woman he had seen in those images was Shi Yaoguang.

However...

That was probably impossible.

Shi Yaoguang believed that she had not met Quan Jinbei before the time rewind.

Let alone visiting a glacier together.

Seeing her reaction, Quan Jinbei had no choice but to suppress the strangeness in his heart and move past the topic.

Yet deep down, he couldn’t shake off a question.

Was the woman he saw in his vision really unconnected to Shi Yaoguang?

Moving on from the topic, Shi Yaoguang let out a deep sigh.

The place was vast indeed, making it incredibly difficult to find the object they were looking for in the far south.

Furthermore, seeing Quan Jinbei’s headache earlier had only added to Shi Yaoguang’s anxiety.

No matter what, she had to find the object in the shortest time possible.

With her goal reemphasized in her mind, Shi Yaoguang began a systematic search.

Since the object would appear in the far south... As long as she combed through the entire far south, she would surely find it!

...

Before she knew it, a week had passed in the blink of an eye.

Shi Yaoguang had exhausted much effort but had only managed to explore a corner of the glaciers in the far south.

That day, she received a phone call.

It was from Wang Zhehai.

"Yaoguang, I finally got in touch with you!"

As soon as the call connected, Wang Zhehai’s excited voice came through.

Shi Yaoguang’s tone was indifferent as she calmly asked, "Director Wang, what do you need from me?"

Wang Zhehai hurriedly explained his reason for calling, "Our ’Crimson Tears’ has passed censorship and will officially premiere in cinemas next Friday! I didn’t call for any other reason, just to ask if you are available on Wednesday?"

"I am not in the country right now," Shi Yaoguang remarked.

Wang Zhehai didn’t see this as a problem, "If you have time, you can take a flight back."

Shi Yaoguang raised her eyebrows slightly, "Are you insisting that I must return?"

"It’s not obligatory," Wang Zhehai replied with a survival instinct, "Wednesday is the day of the premiere, and I was hoping our leading lady would make an appearance for promotion."

Hearing it was for movie promotion, Shi Yaoguang wanted to refuse.

If Wang Zhehai needed it, she could get someone else to help with the publicity; she really did not want to appear in person.

Even if she could get back to the country in the least amount of time, there was no necessity.

Compared to the movie, Quan Jinbei’s health was obviously more important.

Quan Jinbei, however, had a different opinion, "This is your first film, you should return on Wednesday."

Shi Yaoguang was about to refuse when he took her mobile phone away and agreed on her behalf to Wang Zhehai.

Watching him finish speaking and then hang up the call, her face showed a touch more displeasure.

"Why did you agree on my behalf?"

Shi Yaoguang was somewhat annoyed, "Do you realize that this is a waste of time? Are you not aware of your own health situation? If we can’t find it, do you really want to remain sickly?"

Quan Jinbei knew that Shi Yaoguang meant well, even if her tone wasn’t kind, it did not bother him.

He just sighed lightly and said, "I understand what you mean, but I still hope you’ll go back."

Shi Yaoguang looked at him steadily, and after a long moment, she coldly uttered, "Give me a reason that convinces me I must go back."

"I don’t want you to continue the search."

Upon hearing this, Shi Yaoguang fell silent.

Seeing this, Quan Jinbei continued, "This week, you have been overexerting your Spiritual Power, and even though you can heal at night through cultivation, you shouldn’t be so reckless."

"Being sickly isn’t something I can’t accept," he declared, his face showing not the slightest trace of pain.

On the contrary, he appeared very nonchalant about it.

Indeed.

Everyone knows that the Quan Family’s Third Master has been sentenced to death by his condition since birth.

Being a normal person would be more surprising than being sickly.

Quan Jinbei had indeed been genuinely sickly for twenty-six years, so his statement didn’t sound out of place at all.

But to Shi Yaoguang’s ears, his words were very disheartening.

She remained silent for quite some time before finally speaking, "Helping you is something I promised before, I can’t go back on my word."

A smile tugged at the corners of Quan Jinbei’s lips, "I know you are willing to help me, but I don’t want to wear you out."

"Consider it fulfilling my wish, stop searching, please go back, alright?"

Listening to his softened tone, Shi Yaoguang felt even more stifled inside.

Originally, she vowed confidently that she would definitely find the item to suppress his illness.

But now, having found nothing, it was Quan Jinbei who had to comfort her.

With this thought, she felt an increasing heaviness inside her.
