wait, does this ever happens in this kind of genre? strong girl friendly beautiful but gone(but not dead)? wow... lol the thot is gone :O 
joke apart, but i am indeed kind of surprised she is gone like that. 
end of the world? yes.  is staying together good? 1. yes. then goes apart. 2. no. i will be with you until the day death takes us apart. 
also i am disappointed the old man died before teaching him anything, a master gone like that and a good doctor too, kind of a waste.
and after waifu and master are gone, then the leeches come and are welcome... the author really is a weird one. 
now we have to wait until the flag about old martial arts is raised again
