Unable to follow, Chun Hua chose to remain silent and just waited for Fan Zhu Xia to tell her what to do next but the next words Fan Zhu Xia told her surprised her.
"Chun Hua, I want you to go out and have Min Sheng tell father something."
"Of course, Miss. What is your message?"
"Tell father that I found a boy that I would like as a younger brother."
Feeling as if she's missing something, Chun Hua didn't know what to say and seeing her confused state, Fan Zhu Xia then added, "Ask him if he wants a new son."
As if thunder exploded in Chun Hua's head, she stared blankly at Fan Zhu Xia who then just smiled at her and made shooing motions.
"Go on, go and tell Min Sheng to personally send the message and then just wait outside for me to finish since I'll start the treatment once you leave the room and I don't want anyone seeing anything if you open the door again to enter."
Still feeling at a loss, Chun Hua had no choice but to nod and say, "Then I shall take my leave now, Miss. Good luck."
"Thanks." Fan Zhu Xia replied with a smile and with one more shooing motion, she then ignored Chun Hua who slowly left the room, looking slightly dazed.
Outside, seeing the door open and Chun Hua coming out looking absent-minded, the people waiting were concerned yet she paid them no heed and directly when to Min Sheng before pulling him down slightly so that she can lowly whisper directly to his ear, preventing anyone from hearing what she's saying. Although based from Min Sheng's dumbfounded expression, whatever Chun Hua told him was quite surprising and unexpected.
Straightening up, Min Sheng sent one last questioning look towards Chun Hua who then helplessly nodded and then said, "It's what the Young Miss told me to tell you to tell her father."
Hearing that Fan Zhu Xia wanted to send a message to her father, everyone was curious, especially Bai Nian Zu. What would Fan Zhu Xia want to tell her father; Fan Hui Zhong at this time?
Despite the others curiousity, Min Sheng just nodded and excused himself before leaving in haste while Chun Hua then just stood there with her head bowed, as if deep in thought.
Unable to contain her curiousity, Fu Zhenzhen then turned to Bai Nian Zu and asked, "Commander Bai, may I ask who that Young Miss is and which family she came from and just who is her father?"
Caught completely off-guard, Bai Nian Zu then stared at Fu Zhenzhen in surprise and his expression was being mirrored by her older brother, Fu Qing Tian as well, making her uncomfortable so ended up asking, "Why are all of you looking at me like that? Isn't my question completely normal to ask if you don't know a person?"
Looking exasperatedly at his little sister, Fu Qing Tian then said, "Zhenzhen, those questions are normal if you just met but when we got here earlier, you acted as if you knew her, even to the point of you following her instructions!"
Realizing that point, Fu Zhenzhen first stared blankly at her brother before she suddenly exclaimed, "Brother, you're right! How can Zhenzhen do that?! Zhenzhen just assumed from the start that she was someone important because of her escort that Zhenzhen completely forgot to even ask her who she was and she didn't even introduce herself, how rude!"
Looking at the indignant and wronged expression on the young girl, Bai Nian Zu couldn't help but chuckle, especially when Fu Qing Tian spoke to remind his sister.
"Zhenzhen, you can't just say that. Didn't you forget to introduce yourself as well and only remembered it when I was already there?"
"I-uhh... huh..." Fu Zhenzhen opened her mouth to retort but she couldn't think of anything so she just ended up closing it and pouting, looking extremely aggrieved which made Bai Nian Zu burst out in laughter.
"Ahh... Don't feel down, Young Miss Fu. You actually did the right thing and your insight on thinking that Xia'er is an important person is quite an understatement, you should be proud!"
"Really? Is what Commander Bai saying the truth?"
"En!" Bai Nian Zu answered firmly making Fu Zhenzhen feel better.
"Then will you tell us who she is?" Fu Qing Tian then curiously asked, his question making Bai Nian Zu scratch his head sheepishly before shaking his head apologetically.
"I have to apologise Young Master Fu but I can only tell you that that girl is the daughter of one of my sworn brothers. Aside from that, you would have to ask her or her father should he come here." Bai Nian Zu replied as he shot a glance at Chun Hua who met his gaze and helplessly shrugged."
"This servant isn't sure if Young Miss' father will come and pick her up since he is currently catching up with Lord Wu."
"Lord Wu? As in, General Wu Zheng He? The older brother of the empress?" Fu Zhenzhen questioned in a high voice, extremely surprised.
Looking at her, Chun Hua just nodded and answered and leaving them dumbfounded with just one word, "En."
Shaking his head in slight amusement, Bai Nian Zu then ignored them and just stared at the closed door with worry feeling him as he wondered what was happening inside.
Meanwhile, oblivious to the commotion outside, Fan Zhu Xia already started the treatment as she brought out her set of acupuncture needles made out of Pure Spirits Silver again before quickly removing the needles that was stabilizing the little girl's condition which surprised the watching Cong Shi Hong.
Not paying attention to his reaction, Fan Zhu Xia then stripped the little girl of her outer clothes until only her inner garments remained before quickly picking up one needle at a time and piercing the little girl's acupuncture points at lightning speed until all three hundred sixty-one needles where inserted into the girl's acupuncture points, making her look like a human pin cushion.
Awed, the young boy just silently watched, trying to absorb and understand as much as he can as he focused and ignored the pain in his body.
Without missing a beat, Fan Zhu Xia then made several hand seals before swiftly extending her fingers above the Mu Lan Fen's body where countless streams of pale blue qi that resembled thin and delicate strings connected with the needles, giving them a faint blue sheen. As she did so, Fan Zhu Xia's eyes was narrowed slightly as her brows furrowed in concentration.
Using her the needles as a medium for her qi to enter each and every single one of the girl's acupuncture points, she then focused on checking each one of them to see how much they've been affected by the poisonous miasma in the Abyss Valley Mountain Range, after all, she was quite familiar with this since this is also the exact same poison that plagued her father, Fan Hui Zhong.
Seeing that most of the acupuncture points in the girl's meridian's are still unaffected and only around fifteen percent is in an extremely delicate state while another twenty percent has been slightly damaged due to the prolonged exposure of the poison in her system while the rest are suffering from shock from the intense medicinal properties of the Vitality Returning Pill when it tried fighting against the effects of the poisonous miasma.
Checking to see the state of the rest of Mu Lan Fen's body, Fan Zhu Xia let out a small relieved sigh the moment she noticed that although her internal organs are severely affected, it was nothing too serious that she cannot save.
Mustering her qi, she slowly led it to roam inside the girl's body, letting it lead the poisonous toxins out of the affected organs and muscles as well as the tainted blood which has already mixed with the poison for too long, to the point that it can no longer be separated and let it seep out from all three hundred sixty-one points that were pierced with the needles as her needles helped and reinforced her qi in purifying Mu Lan Fen's body from the poison while helping Fan Zhu Xia stabilize the little girl's condition.
She didn't even realize that she had already taken almost two hours in just doing this alone!
As soon as Fan Zhu Xia saw that she was able to pull out all the remaining poison inside Mu Lan Fen's body, she then withdrew her qi swiftly yet gently and soon after, she then pulled out a jade chest from her spacial ring and opened it, filling the room with intense yet extremely gentle and calming medicinal smell.
Taking a small piece, about the size of a fingernail from a petal of one of the three Ice Heart Imperial Lotus Flowers, she then condensed a small vermillion red flame that was exuding such an intense spiritual energy underneath it and slowly drew out the medicinal essence of that petal and condensed it to resemble a translucent bluish-white dewdrop which she then used her qi to deposit it into Mu Lan Fen's half-opened mouth where it quickly dissolved.
After that, Fan Zhu Xia then took in a deep breath before she executed several more hand seals and extended her hand towards Mu Lan Fen's unconscious form, but instead her qi transforming into the previous string-like form, it instead became a cocoon of pale blue light that enveloped the little-girls body for several minutes as Fan Zhu Xia helped the unconscious Mu Lan Fen absorb the medicinal properties of both the Vitality Returning Pill as well as the condensed essence of the Ice Heart Imperial Lotus Flower.
As soon as she was done, Fan Zhu Xia withdrew her qi which at the same time, cleaned up most of the blood that covered Mu Lan Fen's body before she took a couple of steps back with unsteady and shaky legs which made her fall unceremoniously on the floor, her back, leaning against one of the wooden cabinets.
Concerned, Cong Shi Hong struggled to get up from the chair and shakily go to Fan Zhu Xia's side, seeing that she needed more help than his friend.
Upon reaching her side, Cong Shi Hong worriedly yet timidly asked, "E-Elder Sister, are you alright?"
"Ahh, is Little Hong worried about your big sister?" Fan Zhu Xia tiredly teased.
Looking at her with an expression of not knowing whether to laugh or cry, Cong Shi Hong then nodded with a solemn gaze that stared at her with eyes that suspiciously glistened with the sheen of tears.
Sighing with a small smile on her cherry red lips, she motioned for Cong Shi Hong to come closer.
Lifting her arm, she pulled the young boy to her gently and enveloped him with a one-armed embrace before letting her qi cover his injuries, helping numb the pain a little.
Realizing what she was doing, Cong Shi Hong protested and said, "Sister, please stop! You're already tired enough as it is, don't waste anymore energy with me, I can handle my injuries, the pain doesn't bother me, really!"
Flicking his forehead with her free hand weakly, Fan Zhu Xia just shook her head and laughed as she said, "Silly boy, this is what elder sisters are supposed to do!"
Before he could say another word in protest, Fan Zhu Xia pressed one of his acupuncture points, promptly making him lose consciousness and falling limp to lean into her. Adjusting him slightly to a more comfortable position, Fan Zhu Xia then turned to the door and tiredly called out.
"Chun Hua!"
