The old diary lay quietly on the table, its slightly yellowed pages seeming to bear the weight of time's passage, while the once-clear ink had become somewhat blurred through the years.
Yet even so, Su Mu could still laboriously decipher each word written within.
The diary began over a hundred years ago, resembling a vivid and detailed documentary that meticulously recorded the daily lives of Su Changqing's ancestors across generations.
Those ordinary yet warm days unfolded before Su Mu through the slightly faded words.
Moreover, the diary was filled with Su Changqing's insights gained from his in-depth study of medicine and Gua Shu.
Gently, Su Mu turned the pages of the diary, carefully handling each one as if he were traversing a tunnel of time, step by step entering that distant past—one hundred years ago in Tianji Valley.
He immersed himself in it, genuinely feeling the moments of Su Changqing's life from the instant he was born until his hair turned gray in his twilight years.
As he read on, Su Mu discovered that Su Changqing had mentioned more than once in his diary the sacred mission borne by the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual and the Tianji Su Clan.
He wrote: "Our Tianji Su Clan has upheld the duty of guarding the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual for generations. This mission compels us to shoulder the great responsibility of saving lives and helping others.
However, alas, the power contained within the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual is far too immense, attracting countless unscrupulous individuals with greedy eyes.
Whenever I think of this, my heart fills with anxiety, fearing that one day this miraculous Medical Compendium might bring disaster upon our entire family."
A chill ran through Su Mu; it seemed that the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual was not merely an ordinary medical book—it concealed enormous secrets that could even relate to the fate of the entire clan.
The words in the diary seemed to carry the weight of history, slowly revealing to Su Mu a long-buried past.
According to the diary, over a hundred years ago, a hidden and enigmatic organization learned of the existence of the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual" from an unknown source and set its greedy sights on this invaluable tome.
This mysterious organization was like a wolf in the night, launching a ruthless pursuit of the Tianji Su Clan.
Faced with such an urgent and dangerous situation, the clan leader, Su Changqing, understood that to protect the "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual" from falling into enemy hands while ensuring the safety of his family members, they had no choice but to leave their homeland. Thus, he resolutely led his people away from Tianji Valley, a place filled with countless memories and heritage.
From that moment on, the Tianji Su Clan seemed to vanish from the face of the earth, disappearing from public view without a trace.
With a heart full of anticipation and anxiety, Su Mu continued to flip through the diary, eager to uncover more clues about that mysterious organization and the final whereabouts of the Tianji Su Clan.
However, when she reached the last page of the diary, her spirits plummeted—there was an abrupt interruption in the text, leaving behind a chilling phrase: "They are coming; I must protect..." After that, there were no further words recorded.
This unfinished sentence hung over Su Mu like a sword, filling her with endless questions and deep concern.
She couldn't help but ponder: Did Su Changqing ultimately succeed in safeguarding that crucial "Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual"?
Where could those members of the Tianji Su Clan, forced onto the path of escape, be now?
And what about that mysterious organization shrouded in fog—what hidden motives and origins lay behind it?
A series of questions swirled in Su Mu's mind, leaving her feeling both confused and anxious.
Su Mu closed the diary, his mind swirling with thoughts.
He knew he had to find the answers, not only to unravel the mystery of his own origins but also to fulfill the mission of the Tianji Su Clan, to protect the Heavenly Secrets Medical Manual and prevent it from falling into evil hands.
