Despite the seemingly hostile words directed at her, Fan Zhu Xia just calmly looked up and returned Fu Qing Tian"s gaze, unperturbed.

"Accusing this medicine hall of fraud is something that this Young Miss did not do, nor has this Young Miss bullied that young lady-"

"This lady"s is called Fu Zhenzhen!"

Blinking at Fu Zhenzhen, a bit surprised at her sudden outburst, Fan Zhu Xia then nodded in acknowledgement before continuing.

"Very well, Young Miss Fu... As everyone here can attest that this Young Miss has not once bullied you, unless of course you count ne having my subordinate teach that man a lesson."

Hearing her words, Fu Qing Tian shot an inquiring look towards Fu Zhenzhen who gave a small nod in agreement, making Fu Qing Tian frown slightly before turning back to the group of people who accompanied him and motioned for one of them to step forward.

Seeing that it was an attendant of the Jade Herb Medicine Hall, the crowd burst into murmurs and whispers as they speculated on what"s about to happen while the parties involved paid no heed and just directed their attention to the attendant.

"You there, when you went to the manor, you said that someone was accusing and slandering the Jade Herb Medicine Hall while bullying my sister, is this true or not?"

The attendant who was initially smiling smugly in the background when he saw Fu Qing Tian becoming hostile towards Fan Zhu Xia"s group, felt extremely nervous now that their young master"s gaze was trained upon him.

It must be known that despite their young master; Fu Qing Tian"s gentle, scholarly appearance and benevolent and kind good-looks, he is actually quite strict and can be extremely harsh when it comes to meting out punishments.

Now regretting his earlier actions of sneaking out and seeking to get reinforcements, the attendant felt his back soaked out in cold sweat as he stammered under Fu Qing Tian"s cold yet smiling gaze.

"Y-Young Master everything this servant said is true! People r-really were slandering our Jade Herb Medicine Hall and... and t-the Young Miss was being pressured by this group of people who just suddenly came and hit the manager!"

"Is that so? Then why would this Young Master"s sister hit the manager then?"

At a loss of what to say, the poor attendant just opened and closed his mouth, speechless. Shooting him a cold look, Fu Qing Tian then turned to Fu Zhenzhen and raised an eyebrow in question.


"Older Brother, Zhenzhen thinks Commander Bai may be right, that everything is all a misunderstanding that got blown out of proportions." Fu Zhenzhen timidly said as she shot a look at her brother who was looking at her and making her feel as if she was in a lot of trouble, making her feel extremely aggrieved inside.

On the other hand, upon hearing her words, Bai Nian Zu couldn"t help but internally sigh in relief while Fan Zhu Xia just raised a brow before coughing out slightly and shooting a pointed look towards Fu Zhenzhen who"s eyes widened as she immediately understood the meaning of her gaze.

"Older Brother, now isn"t the time to be concerned about the issue with the Jade Herb Medicine Hall, what"s important is those two children!" Fu Zhenzhen exclaimed as she pointed towards Fan Zhu Xia"s direction before hurriedly dragging Fu Qing Tian towards them.

As they neared, Fu Qing Tian first recognized the man standing just behind Fan Zhu Xia who was once a known captain from the Thunder Vale Army that was directly under Lei w.a.n.gye"s command; Min Sheng. His appearance beside the young lady in blue who was still crouched on the ground already made Fu Qing Tian cautious, especially with how familiar Bai Nian Zu had greeted and treated the young lady earlier.

Focusing his gaze on the girl, Fu Qing Tian noticed how the blue-robed young lady had a small little girl"s head resting on her lap while another unconscious young boy was cradled on the lady"s maidservant"s arms. Realizing that this two children were the ones his sister was referring to, Fu Qing Tian opened his mouth and asked, "What happened to them?"

Feeling that there was no more need for any more discord and hostilities since it would just be detrimental to the two unconscious kids, Fan Zhu Xia calmly replied and gave Fu Qing Tian an explanation using a matter-of-fact tone.

"To sum everything up, Young Master Fu, this Young Miss came upon the scene of that man beating up this boy with a bamboo stick until he was wounded and unconscious since the boy was complaining that the treatment that your medicine hall gave this little girl made her condition worsen. Now, this Young Miss has admittedly hit your medicine hall"s manager but only to teach him a lesson which Young Miss Fu can attest to and as for the reason the Young Miss Fu was beating the man was because this Young Miss needs to verify and find out what treatment was given so that this Young Miss can give proper treatment to this little girl."

Hearing her explanation, Fu Qing Tian was silent for a moment before he crouched down beside Fan Zhu Xia and asked softly, "May I?"

Shooting him a measuring glance, Fan Zhu Xia then nodded and said, "Feel free."

Looking at the two immortal-looking deities staring with gentle and concerned looks at the little girl, the surrounding people couldn"t help but think that they resembled a pair of benevolent immortal couple looking after the weak and poor, making the people sigh in appreciation.

Meanwhile, the two said individuals were completely ignoring the crowd and whole-heartedly focusing on the little girl.

Fu Qing Tian who was feeling the pulse of the little girl had a face that was originally calm and collected that slowly changed to first a shocked and concerned look before a thunderously angry expression appeared on his usually gentle and serene face.

Seeing the acupuncture needles that were still inserted in the little girl"s body, Fu Qing Tian turned to Fan Zhu Xia and queried, "Were you the one who performed the acupucture?"

"En."

Giving her a small smile in appreciation, Fu Qing Tian nodded and said, "Nicely done."

Without waiting for a response, Fu Qing Tian then straightened up from his crouch and turned to the crowd with a grim and serious expression and spoke in a loud voice.

"The issue regarding Jade Herb Medicine Hall will be settled today! I, Fu Qing Tian would like to announce that the Jade Herb Medicine Hall will be closed for an indefinite time as we will review our staff and doctors and investigate how this came about since what this poor young boy had said in complaint was nothing but the complete truth! The treatment that was given to this little girl made her condition not only worsen but deteriorate to the point of it becoming extremely detrimental to her body"s state. I, as the young master of the Jade Herb Medicine Hall will take responsibility for this and will provide everyone with a satisfactory explanation in the coming days. Now we would like to ask for everyone to tale their leave first so that we can settle the matters here and focus on treating the patient."
