Shangguan Zifeng had to return to the Shangguan Residence to retrieve several changes of clothes for the Empress, so he wasn't present when Shangguan Linlang arranged a fight with Li Xiaotian. Naturally, he was unaware that in the short time he was gone, the Empress had managed to get herself into the delightful business of brawling once more. This time it wasn't a simple one-on-one fight, but rather it had evolved into a mixed-gender melee. Put simply, Shangguan Linlang was about to take on ten experts summoned by Old Master Li alone, because Li Xiaotian had always looked down on women. Hence, of course, all ten experts were robust chaps with swords.
"Eh? Are you being discharged?" Shangguan's boy had just rushed from home to the hospital when he saw a line of people filing out of Linlang's sickroom, even before reaching the door, he immediately stepped forward to ask.
"Hmm." Xuanyuan Wuji answered with a strange expression on his face, and then fell silent.
