Xiao Lijin indeed hadn't expected it, after all, Elder Master Bai was a doctor, so who's going to doubt him when he says how he died?
He held Bai Qingzhu in his arms, gently comforting her.
The butler seemed utterly exhausted, but he managed to hold out for one last speech.
"All these years, I didn't know how I made it through. I thought I wouldn't live to see this day, but unexpectedly, you've come to find me, and now, it's time for me to go. Don't be sad, everyone dies eventually, and I've... lived too long."
After that, there was nothing more.
Bai Qingzhu knew the butler lived so long certainly because of her grandfather; he surely gave him something to extend his life.
Grandfather was really remarkable. He had foreseen things many years ahead. He trusted her so much, knowing she would never let him down.
Grandfather, Grandfather!
