Everybody turned to him. "What... you've found the problem?" Wu Qi's voice was trembling.
"Yes."
"How to treat her?"
"Wang Fei suffers from Stagnation of Qi *. The tremendous shock has made her Qi stagnant, and blocks her mind. In order to clear his mind again, she must get another shock as shaking as the previous one." Deng Lin Ping said confidently.
"Another shock?" Wu Qi thought. "What kind of shock should we give her?"
Deng Linping shouted abruptly. "Zhou Wang has arrived!"
All of them turned white. They soon got to their feet, ready to run away.
"Hey, Linping! What the hell are you doing?!?" Finally finding out that Deng Linping was deceiving them, everyone stared angrily at him. Mrs. Deng scolded. "You almost make me pass out, you know! Don't make such joking at this moment!"
"Sorry, Mom... but, I just wonder whether I've made a correct diagnosis or not. But it turns out, that I'm correct."
He then observed Hu Nayin. Everyone also turned their heads to observe her, and a second later they were struck in awe.
Hu Nayin's gaze was completely focused. She had even sprung out of her chair, and now gazed at Deng Linping. "Where is His Highness? Where is he?"
"Errr..." Deng Linping shrugged.
"You said, His Highness comes here?" Hu Nayin even put her hands on his shoulders. "So, where is he? Come on, show him to me! Where is he?"
"Hu Wang Fei, you've got your awareness?" Deng Linping asked seriously.
"Ah..."
"Do you know who I am? And who they are? Do you know where you are right now?"
"I..." Hu Nayin gazed to her left and right anxiously.
"Find out the answers by yourself. First, be aware entirely, then after that, you will be able to get what you want."
Wu Qi watched everything that occurred before him in amazement. He truly acknowledged Deng Linping, who could return Hu Nayin's awareness so fast. But on the other hand, he also felt disappointed. He was so sad, as he knew that fact.
"What makes Wang Fei's awareness to be blocked is a jolt of sadness. Wang Fei is forced to leave Zhou Wang whom she loves, it is a big misery for her. To make her regain consciousness, we have to give her a jolt of happiness. Which is, the opposite thing, that Zhou Wang is willing to accept her return," Deng Linping explained.
It was the fact that made Wu Qi sad. That what could make Hu Nayin get well again was to return to Zhu Su. Yet Zhu Su hated her so much, even was eager to kill her. Wang Fei... why do you love His Highness to the extent that you don't even care about your life?
Ma Ya lifted an eyebrow. "Then it means, Ma'am Hu still loves Zhou Wang?!"
"Definitely."
Bao Mei shook Hu Nayin's shoulders in fury. "Ma'am Hu, please! Don't be so naïve and get fooled by love, accept the reality! Zhou Wang doesn't love you, he hates you instead, and even wants to kill you! Don't love him anymore, Ma'am Hu! Don't!"
Hu Nayin's gaze dimmed. And her facial expression became dull again.
"Ouch! What are you doing?! You screw up my therapy!" Deng Linping grumbled in annoyance. "Look! She just starts to get focused, you tell such sucks things and her mind is blocked again!"
"We mustn't lie to her just to cure her! We have to make her accept reality!"
"I disagree. Sometimes, to treat a terminal disease, we mustn't just sit idle and surrender, we still have to hope and try to make a miracle of healing occur. Even if it is just a lie, but the physician must still give hope to his patient!"
"But once she's cured, she finds out that the reality doesn't match the lie you tell, she'll get sick again, isn't that the same as useless?!"
"How do you know that she will be like that once she is healed? Being healed means that her mind has really cleared up!" Deng Linping kept persisting. "I disagree with your thoughts! I want Wang Fei to recover! And I'll do everything in order to heal her!"
There was silence for a few moments.
Suddenly a mass of people appeared outside the house. They quickly looked out the window.
"A Nuo!" Wu Qi was inevitably surprised as he saw A Nuo and dozens of San Hu Wei soldiers were gluing posters on the walls. He was even more surprised when he found out exactly what kind of pictures were painted on those posters.
"That's... the pictures of you two!" Ma Ya screamed in horror.
Terror stabbed to Wu Qi's heart. Just now he thought that by having managed to get out of Kaifeng, they then had escaped from the pursuit of San Hu Wei, yet it turned out that the San Hu Wei were really eager to catch him and Hu Nayin.
No, not the San Hu Wei. It was Zhu Su who was so eager to catch both of them... to sentence them to death.
Wu Qi's body trembled violently.
"They are here, so you mustn't go out of the house for a moment. Let us take care of all your needs." Xu Gechang gave instructions.
"But when do we leave Mrs. Deng's house, then?" Wu Qi asked worriedly.
"Don't think too much about it, guys. I don't mind accommodating you in my house, really." Mrs. Deng quickly assured him.
"Besides, I want to heal Wang Fei." Deng Linping chimed in.
"Ah... then we'll bother you." Ma Ya said, ashamed.
Meanwhile, outside the house, A Nuo and his soldiers were gluing the posters of Hu Nayin and Wu Qi's faces onto the walls, not realizing that their distance from the wanted was actually very close. He then clapped his hands together, drawing people to gather.
"Attention, all townspeople! We are from Zhou Fan Wang Guo, we are currently looking for these two people! Whoever tells us their whereabouts will be rewarded, and whoever knows about their whereabouts but hides them will be punished! So, we wish good cooperation from all of you!"
Everyone gazed at him unconcernedly. And then, they immediately dispersed and returned to do their respective activities.
A Nuo let out an annoyed sigh. "Ah, what's wrong with these Ming people?! Instead of supporting the government, they even comport themselves with ignorance?! Humph... but everything the people do is often the reflection of their own leaders, anyway! What else can we do with them!"
Deciding to end his search activity in this area, A Nuo and his soldiers soon left. On the other hand. Wu Qi took out every weapon he was carrying with him such as swords and blades. He observed them one by one, in case some of them were damaged and needed to be fixed as soon as possible. He must really take care of those weapons, because he would really need them shortly after.
If a physical fight was unavoidable, he had to make sure that those weapons would attempt to kill his opponents.

* Stagnation of Qi = the condition when Qi in our body doesn't flow smoothly, it usually leads to depression, for example, the condition of Hu Nayin right now.
