Aside from eating, bathing, and a minimal amount of sleep, Qin Xuan was always cultivating her Inner Qi. Maybe it was due to her body's weak constitution; no matter how much she tried, her Inner Qi reserve did not improve and her dantian remained empty. The day she fully recovered her strength seemed to still be beyond reach.

The greatest benefit from her diligent cultivation was that her body recovered at a much faster rate. Unfortunately, her leg was covered in a thick layer of plaster, making it impossible for her to determine the current state of the injury.

Because she was single-mindedly cultivating her Inner Qi, she did not notice that Wen Meixia had already signed the divorce contract and left. There was now even two new strangers frequenting the house. The only thing she knew was Qin Shuhua had replaced all the broken furniture with new ones.

Today, Qin Shuhua knocked on the door of Qin Xuan's room, "Qin Qin? Are you free?"

Qin Xuan who was sitting crossed leg on the floor slowly retrieved the Qi circulating chaotically in her body and forced it back into her dantian. She then patiently waited for the Qi to settle before opening her eyes, "Come in."

Qin Shuhua opened the door to Qin Xuan's room. Seeing that she was calmly meditating on the ground, he gave her a strange look. He still remembered how she had previously knocked Wen Meixia unconscious with a single move. She even ordered him to throw Wen Meixia out, causing him to experience a big shock. He quietly thought about how ever since several years ago, when his relationship with his wife was in the midst of breaking down, he had stopped paying attention to his own daughter. Now that she had become such a cruel and cold-blooded person, he was the one mostly to blame.

Qin Xuan glanced towards Qin Shuhua once, and then closed her eyes, "Is something the matter?"

Qin Shuhua woke up from his regretful stupor and quickly spoke, "Un, Qin Qin, I just wanted to let you know ahead of time that Aunt... Auntie Jiang and your younger brother will be officially moving over today. Ah, regarding the wound on your leg, we should head to the hospital and get it examined. Let's see if we can take the cast off yet."

"Understood."

Qin Shuhua smiled awkwardly. As he was about to leave, he paused and said hesitantly, "When you meet Auntie Jiang and your little brother, can you, urm, promise daddy to not cause them any trouble?"

"Sure."

Hearing her smooth reply, Qin Shuhua did not feel any relief. Instead as he thought about her previous decisive attack towards Wen Meixia, he felt a sense of unease. However, since he couldn't think of anything else to say, he simply said, "Then you should prepare for a bit, daddy will take you to the hospital for a checkup."

Qin Xuan did not need any preparation and left with Qin Shuhua immediately. She sat inside the large horseless metal carriage. Ever since her first day here, she had seen many of these strange metal boxes. She pat the seat and asked Qin Shuhua who was driving, "What is this?"

"It's a BMW!"

Qin Xuan was secretly alarmed. The horses in this place looks like this? (TL note: It's a pun. A common name for BMW in China is Precious Horse.)

Since his daughter rarely ever talked to him, Qin Shuhua excitedly elaborated, "I just recently bought this car. Do you like it? Later on, do you want me to drive you to school in it?"

"School?" Qin Xuan asked with some reservation.

"That's right. Since the accident you have stayed at home for some time in order to recuperate. Since it's already your third year, and the high school test is coming up, you must be quite worried about the exams. Today we will visit the hospital to see if we can take off the cast yet, and if yes, let's bring you to school tomorrow since it's Monday. Do you wanna go to school?"
