For Su Tong and Mai Gu, before they met Ye Guichen, they had pinned all their hopes on Linglong.
Linglong was an orphan, accidentally adopted by the two, and they were overjoyed to find that Linglong had a strong talent for medicine.
The two old men had lived most of their lives and didn't dare to claim expertise in medicine.
However, Linglong was the type who could grasp things immediately and understand them at a glance.
Especially when reading medical books, she almost didn't need others to guide her and comprehended everything on her own.
To them, she was like a treasure found.
So, they nurtured her even more.
Initially, Su Tong was afraid Linglong would be tainted by Mai Gu's mercenary ways, so he took her to Yun City to give her a quiet environment to practice medicine.
After an incident in Qinghe, Su Tong reassessed Mai Gu, released his inner grudges, and naturally brought Mai Gu back to see Linglong.
