After he came out of the house, Jian Yubo did not leave immediately.
Instead, he went to the banyan tree and sat down. He had his back against the tree trunk.
With a light breeze blowing gently on his face, he closed his eyes. It was as though he was asleep. His expression was incredibly serene.
With his right hand, he strummed the bead bracelet that he wore on his left wrist.
The image that came to his mind was that of Jian Yiling. He had met her just then.
Gradually, his expression became more peaceful.
However suddenly, the image of He Yan tearing up his books and records for Go surfaced in his mind again.
Then, he felt the burning pain of boiling water on his back. It was as if the area on his back was still throbbing with pain after all these years.
Jian Yubo's eyes snapped open. He got up and left the Old Jian Residence.

That evening, Grandpa Jian called Jian Shuxing and Jian Yuncheng to his study.
