The bathroom returned to silence.
However, there was now an extra person in the bathtub.
Fortunately, the bathtub was large enough to accommodate three or four people.
Moreover, since Qiu Zhihe was petite and delicate, and Liu Su was also slender, there was still space for four people to bathe together.
Qiu Zhihe suddenly spoke: "Husband, could you, co over a bit."
At this ti, Qiu Zhihe’s injuries had improved considerably, and she just needed to recuperate for a couple of days to freely move about outside the bathtub.
anwhile, Si Minglan was gravely injured and on the brink of death, urgently needing treatnt.
Therefore, Qin Gengyun and Liu Su were both focused on her at the mont, naturally drawing closer to Si Minglan.
Although Qiu Zhihe was willing to save her, seeing her husband with another woman so intimately, she couldn’t help but feel jealous, thus she spoke out.
Hearing Qiu Zhihe’s words, Qin Gengyun paused, while Liu Su couldn’t help but chuckle:
"Oh my, the bathwater’s turned sour!"
Qiu Zhihe glared at her coldly, and Liu Su stuck out her tongue, not daring to speak further. Qin Gengyun understood and moved closer to his wife, smiling:
"Wife, don’t worry, I have no interest in other won."
Qiu Zhihe’s cheeks flushed lightly, but she insisted:
"I was rely saying your posture in channeling your power is incorrect."
Liu Su almost burst into laughter again, but Qin Gengyun did not expose her, and softly said:
"My wife is right."
Qiu Zhihe gave him a look and gently said, "Husband, please focus on healing Si Minglan, I can restore myself with just two days of power circulation."
Qin Gengyun and Liu Su nodded and focused on activating the Mist Spirit Eye.
The sound of splashing water imdiately filled the bathroom, along with Si Minglan’s unconscious gasps and moans.
Outside, Fang Xue, whose face was still blushing, listened to the sounds coming from the inside.
"What kind of healing technique is this? How embarrassing?"
She couldn’t help but recall the scene in the bathroom earlier and quickly shook her head.
"Uncle Qin is of the sa generation as my father, and he’s also Sister Qiu’s husband. How could I have such wild thoughts?"
Standing up, she walked to the edge of the pond outside, sat cross-legged, and focused on cultivating.
However, other thoughts began to flood her mind.
Why did Third Senior Sister suffer such serious injuries?
From what Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu ntioned earlier, it appears that Third Senior Sister clashed with people from the Thunder Sword Sect.
But aren’t the Zhenyang Sect and the Thunder Sword Sect allies?
Why did Third Senior Sister fight with soone from the Thunder Sword Sect and get so severely injured?
And what about the other party?
Are they injured or... have they died?
At this mont, a Sound Transmission Talisman beside her shone bright. She had taken it out when undressing Third Senior Sister earlier.
This was sothing belonging to her senior sister, and Fang Xue didn’t dare touch it.
But the talisman kept flashing, as if there was sothing urgent.
Could sothing be happening at the Sect?
Fang Xue hesitated for a long ti before finally picking up the Sound Transmission Talisman, upon which a few lines of text appeared.
"Third Junior Sister, you were supposed to return to Xiyue Peak long ago, why the delay?"
"Senior Sister, I’m taking Junior Sister Fang for so training, we’ll be back soon, don’t worry."
"Third Junior Sister, have you cleared Fang Xue of suspicion?"
"Senior Sister, this girl is just a naive girl, pure as a blank sheet of paper, she wouldn’t dare break any sect rules no matter what."
"Third Junior Sister, the Sect Competition is imminent, co back imdiately!"
"Si Minglan, why aren’t you responding?!"
"Is this Senior Sister? Senior Sister is doubting ?" Fang Xue was stunned.
This Sound Transmission Talisman was clearly used by Si Minglan to contact Senior Sister, and the first four ssages were probably from a month ago.
So Senior Sister sent to follow Third Senior Sister to secretly investigate ?
But Third Senior Sister protected before Senior Sister, just like she protected Uncle Qin and Sister Qiu?
Moreover, Third Senior Sister left in Yunling Town, but told Senior Sister that she was taking for training.
This was for letting accompany my parents at ease, even lying to Senior Sister if necessary!
Why was Third Senior Sister so good to ?
How should I repay Third Senior Sister?
And...although the world refers to Senior Sister as a fairy, why does she feel so scheming?
In contrast, Third Senior Sister, labeled a "Righteous Demoness" by the world, is full of emotions and loyalty?
Could it be true what Master said, that the Zhenyang Sect is full of hypocritical and shaless people?
Fang Xue’s mind was a whirl of chaos, unsure how to handle everything.
She could only barely calm her mind, sitting cross-legged to cultivate.
Unknowingly, another day and night passed.
Midnight.
Fang Xue opened her eyes, her heart finally more at peace.
Calculating the ti, another two-hour period, and Third Senior Sister would awaken.
Suddenly, Fang Xue got up, her expression turning odd.
Just now, she sensed a strange wave of spiritual power.
Fang Xue gripped her long sword and slowly stepped forward, walked past the pond and the garden, moving toward the gate of Qinhe Garden.
However, when she was a yard away from the gate, she stopped, her expression turning stern.
"A Barrier Array?"
She had finally realized, the entire Qinhe Garden was surrounded by a Barrier Array, isolating it from the outside world.
No matter what happened inside, it wouldn’t be detected outside.
This kind of array, Fang Xue had heard about it from her array class teacher at the Cultivator Spiritual Institute; encompassing an area as large as Qinhe Garden requires at least Qi Cultivation Tier Nine, a Third Tier Array Master to accomplish.
Fang Xue tightened her grip on the sword sheath, her voice slightly trembling:
"Who goes there?"
Caw caw caw!
After a mont, a piercing and hoarse laughter sounded.
Thud thud thud!
Then, the ground began to tremble slightly.
In the darkness ahead, two figures slowly erged.
One was extrely burly, standing over three yards tall, his footsteps like a sledgehamr, causing the ground to emit thudding sounds.
The other was slender, resembling a bamboo rod, with a feathery stride, carrying a wooden box in hand.
Soon, the two walked out of the darkness and stood two yards away from Fang Xue.
Only then did Fang Xue see clearly, the burly man had a broad nose and mouth, grinning at her like a beast.
The slender man had a sharp mouth, monkey-like cheeks, long limbs, and he surveyed her, asking in a polite tone:
"Fellow cultivator, may I ask is this Alchemist Qin’s residence?"
Sweat lined Fang Xue’s palm as she answered calmly:
"Fellow cultivators, my Uncle Qin is not ho, if there’s any matter, you can co back another day."
"Oh?" The slender man squinted and said to Fang Xue: "Are you Alchemist Qin’s niece? We have urgent business with him, may you inform him for us?"
Fang Xue cupped her hands: "I apologize, but Uncle Qin indeed is not in, why don’t you leave your na and address, once he returns, I will inform him."
Caw caw caw caw!
The burly man opened his mouth wide, emitting a piercing laugh.
The slender man also laughed: "Since fellow cultivator asks for nas, I won’t shy away, I am Changyunzi, the fourth of the Chang Family in Xingluo Town, and this is my fifth brother, Chang Zhenzi."
He placed the wooden box in his hand down and slowly drew out a tal rod from his back, grinning widely:
"Alchemist Qin may have killed my third brother, so...we’ve co to exterminate his entire family."
