West Kensington, London, Emma's home, Emma's father William and stepmother Daisy have returned, so Bethany was also picked up by the two of them, Bethany will go home to continue school, and regularly do some scientific cultivation and adjustment in a rehabilitation institution in the UK, the little girl is still a little reluctant when she leaves, well, reluctantly holding Dudu, and trying to lure Dudu away through food and beer.

However, fortunately, Totoro's position was very firm, and in the end, he was not tempted by Bethany's sugar-coated cannonballs, and in the end, the little girl could only follow her parents into the car and leave with tears in her eyes.

Bai Yujing looked at his latest Weibo, and the top one was a photo of himself standing in the place of miracles at sunset, with clear lakes, tall Stonehenge, dense vines and ancient staircases, just like a fantasy world.

[It's really beautiful, Lao Bai can find this kind of place wherever he goes!]

[Said to take me and pretend to be forced together!]

[I knew yesterday, I happened to be in the UK, the Times has seen the newspaper, calling this valley the Valley of the Sun Goddess, the discovery of this ruin, is a perfect answer to the unsolved mystery of Stonehenge, for the British historical archaeological community, is also a major discovery, complete ......]

[What do I want to know, baby?]

There are no more doubts in the comments below, all of them are a series of praises, after a few incidents, Bai Yujing gradually became less excited, more of a mood sharing, and he didn't care so much about those who said good and bad things to himself.

Bai Yujing received a call from Xu Keke at this time, and Bai Yujing immediately connected, "Didn't I already sort out the second volume and send it to you?

Xu Keke covered his mouth and laughed, looking very good: "No! Xiaobai, you wrote very well, the royalties of the first two editions of the first volume have been paid to your account, you check it, the results are very good, plus overseas sales, it has reached six million copies, we expect the results of the second volume to be even better!"

Bai Yujing nodded, "Okay, I know here! You won't just talk about this, right?"

Xu Keke immediately said: "I want to ask here, Xiaobai, can you have a signing party when the second volume is released!"

"Signing meeting?" Bai Yujing was stunned for a moment, and then immediately said: "I'm in the UK now, how can I have time to participate in this!"

"I'm Xiaobai when I said I came back!" Xu Keke still persuaded Bai Yujing.

Bai Yujing didn't have the slightest intention of participating: "When I come back, it's the New Year, and I won't be free!"

"Well, I'll talk to the editor-in-chief, if Xiaobai you can hold a signing party, the effect will definitely be very good, for ......!"

"It's really not free, so be it!"

As soon as Bai Yujing hung up the phone, it began to snow outside the window at this time, and the light snowflakes fell from the sky, gradually covering the roof opposite, because it had just started, so it couldn't be piled up, but this snow scene was indeed very beautiful.

Bai Yujing immediately went downstairs and found Emma also lying on the window, looking at a knitted hat on her head, and also spotting the snow outside: "Shouldn't the first snow start at night?

"This year's snow is a little earlier than usual, the weather is getting colder, and I see the fireplace can be used!"

Emma was still holding her mobile phone when she said this, and Bai Yujing asked, "Did anyone call?"

Emma nodded, "It's Burton MacLeod, remember him?"

How could Bai Yujing not remember, but he didn't expect that he would call at this time: "What is he calling for?"

"He wants to see us!"

Bai Yujing asked, "Is it still the same thing I said before?"

Emma nodded, but continued, "I don't think we can promise him, because we're not sure how much water there is, if it's just enough for one person......?

Bai Yujing nodded: "I understand, I will go to see him alone in the afternoon, we can get more information from him, as for the issue of the Fountain of Youth, as long as the power is in our hands, there will be no problems, and we should not turn against him now, after all, Burton MacLeod is not a simple person, as the head of a big chaebol group, we can't push him to the opposite side at this time." ”

---------------

This time I met Burton MacLeod on the top floor of a hotel, and compared with the last time we met, this old man was already a little old and completely lost the prestige of the dragon and tiger at that time.

He sat in a clinical chair, looking at the whole of London from a high place, and the snow was falling outside, and with his back, he could feel a deep loneliness and loneliness.

"You're here, please be seated!" Burton MacLeod looked back, not having the arrogant taste of last time, but a little more peaceful.

The one who led Bai Yujing in was the lawyer Bivis who he had seen before, it seems that the private lawyer in Europe is really close enough, he takes care of everything, and he serves so well, after Bivis whispered a few words to Burton MacLeod, he withdrew, and the whole room was left with Bai Yujing and Burton MacLeod.

When Bai Yujing was thinking about how to say this, Burton MacLeod spoke first: "Do you know how old I am this year?"

Bai Yujing didn't know what Burton MacLeod meant by asking this sentence, so he could only say based on the appearance he saw: "I guess Mr. MacLeod should be over seventy years old!"

"I'm thirty-eight years old Chinese New Year's Eve!" Burton MacLeod's words immediately shocked Bai Yujing, he looked like this, more than seventy is still a little guess by himself, thirty-eight, what a joke.

Burton MacLeod laughed: "You think it's incredible! Since hundreds of years ago, the MacLeod family, each generation can only live one person, and everyone will not live to be forty years old, and once they are past twenty years old, they will age rapidly, and then, like me, when they are close to forty years old, they will die of natural causes. ”

"Natural death?" Bai Yujing still felt a little unimaginable.

Burton MacLeod nodded: "That's right, the natural death of forty years old, according to normal circumstances, I should be in the prime of life now, the most proud and energetic time in a person's life, but I can only wait for death in this dying old body, shrouded in despair and loneliness." ”

"Why is that?" Bai Yujing didn't understand.

"It's a curse!" Burton MacLeod straightened up as he said this, feeling a little angry, a little gnashing of teeth, and then a quick cough, and the door to the outside immediately opened, and several people who looked like doctors wanted to enter.

"Get out, don't come in!" said Burton MacLeod, roaring angrily, driving the man out.

Bai Yujing immediately stood up, handed the handkerchief to Burton MacLeod, saw him gradually calm down, and then said: "I know your doubts, don't worry, the Fountain of Immortality is definitely enough to use, whether it is two people, three people, or thirty people, and I, as long as one, one is enough to lift the fate of my MacLeod family!"

Bai Yujing's eyes shrank: "How do you know so clearly?"

Burton MacLeod chuckled: "There are no secrets in this world, it's just a matter of seeing if your secrets are worth paying attention to!"

Bai Yujing nodded: "If it's really like what you said, I can agree to your request, but I need information from your side about the Fountain of Immortality and Sky Island!"

"No problem, and what I promised you before, it still works!"
