First update,

"Qianxi, Qianxi..."

Shouts came from the small courtyard, instantly changing the expressions of the young couple.

Qin Fang recognized the voice; it was Luo Xi's father, Luo Youheng. It seemed that the situation at Grand Elder Wu's side had stabilized, or he had already rested, and the Wu Family members were naturally delighted and each went off to rest.

When Luo Youheng came over at this time, he was first there to check on his daughter, and secondly, he probably wanted to see how Qin Fang was doing. After all, Qin Fang was now considered the Wu Family's benefactor. Wu Ming and Wu Hai might not have been able to come, but Luo Youheng's presence was regarded as giving face.

You should know, Qin Fang and Luo Xi's relationship had eased considerably just before, and the two had a brief exchange. Luo Xi's identity was also becoming more apparent—who could it be with a father holding the position of Deputy Director of the Provincial Public Security Department?

"Ah! My dad's here..."

Hearing Luo Youheng's voice, Luo Xi immediately sprang out of the blankets, wanting to go out and stop Luo Youheng. However, Qin Fang grabbed her to stop her, pointing at her clothes and indicating that she was revealing herself once again.

"It's all your fault..."

Luo Xi muttered resentfully while clumsily adjusting her clothes and couldn't help but throw a glare at Qin Fang, although it looked more like she was throwing a flirtatious look.

Luo Xi rarely displayed such girlish behavior, especially with that flirtatious look, which gave off a charming vibe, slightly surprising Qin Fang.

But Luo Xi soon became frustrated; her clothes were all wet, and that bikini top had been removed by Qin Fang earlier. She needed to change into a fresh set of clothes before she could meet others, or else her father would definitely misunderstand her relationship with Qin Fang.

"Alright, I'll deal with your dad, you hurry up and change!"

Qin Fang smiled wryly. With their shenanigans, both of their clothes were wet. Luo Xi could change, but he could not. Moreover, walking out with Luo Xi in this state, even if Luo Youheng tried not to misunderstand, he would likely do so. Eventually, Qin Fang had no choice but to shamelessly go out to intercept him and let Luo Xi change clothes.

"Officer Luo..."

Almost at the moment Luo Youheng was about to step into the living room, Qin Fang was already there waiting, having straightened his clothes, though they were uncomfortable being wet.

"Senior Brother Qin, you're awake? That's wonderful..."

Luo Youheng came to see Qin Fang, and seeing that Qin Fang was already awake made him very happy, his face filled with joy.

"I didn't have much of an issue, I just needed a little rest! By the way, how is the old master doing?"

Qin Fang said with a smile, in fact, the Grand Elder had drunk his way awake more than an hour ago, and Qin Fang had fainted for just a few minutes. These details were not worth discussing with others, so he changed the subject.

"The toxins are cleared, but the wound on his chest is still quite severe! That doesn't matter, Elder Ma will come personally. With him here, there shouldn't be much of a problem..."

Luo Youheng said reassuringly. Elder Ma was a medical sage, and the previous inability to treat was not due to limited ability or skill level, but completely because they couldn't confirm the potent poison in old Master Wu's body.

The Five Poisons Powder is a domineering and cunning poison. Unless the toxins are concentrated, even a Silver Needle can't detect it, which is why only Qin Fang's Nine Revival Needles could have such an effect.

Of course, if it hadn't been for that small creature on Qin Fang reminding him that Grand Elder Wu was poisoned with Five Poisons Powder, even with the Nine Revival Needles, Qin Fang would have been clueless.

"That's good! I believe the old master will recover soon..."

Qin Fang nodded. With Grand Elder Wu's formidable strength, deep cultivation, and Elder Ma's help with recuperation, he believed that it wouldn't take too long to truly recover. However, after a serious illness like this, it was doubtful whether he could return to his peak ever again.

Of course, Grand Elder Wu's strength was no longer at its peak long ago. Although practitioners may have longevity, as they age, their strength doesn't increase but diminishes instead.

Birth, aging, sickness, and death are the normal states of life, no one can escape it, and no one can avoid it. Grand Elder Wu was already in his twilight years, and if he could survive this time, he might not be so lucky the next time.

But all these matters weren't of much concern to Qin Fang. He wasn't a savior, much less an omnipotent deity. His capabilities were limited to this, and to place higher expectations on him would be asking for the impossible.

"Why are your clothes all wet?"

Luo Youheng nodded. With the Five Poisons Powder gone, the old master's health improved considerably. With Elder Ma's aid in recuperation, recovery should not be a problem, which instantly lifted the spirits of the Wu Family members.

But at that moment, Luo Youheng noticed Qin Fang's wet clothes. Although they couldn't be said to be drenched as if he were fished out of water, they seemed nearly so.

"Don't mention it. I was thirsty and got some water. My head was groggy, and I accidentally knocked over the kettle, soaking myself..."

Qin Fang said with a wry smile, pretending as if the explanation were partly true and partly false.

"Why didn't Qianxi help you?"

But Luo Youheng's brow furrowed, asking with a hint of surprise.

"Officer Luo seemed to be taking a bath at the time and didn't notice. It's not her fault..." Qin Fang quickly explained.
