58. Questions And Answers

.

LanFen opened her eyes and jolted upright in alarm.

'I'll surely kill that fiend!', She thought to herself, but a hand reached out and grabbed her shoulder, steadying her.

"Younger brother! Younger brother! How do you feel?!" Lu FengHo was studying her face, with clear across his.

It took LanFen a while to center on him. "Elder brother..." She visibly relaxed, after seeing his face. "What happened? I was in a place..."

"Relax." Lu FengHo gave her some water, which she drank. "We're already on the way back to Jade city. You're on Clan Leader Shuǐ's boat right now."

He placed two fingers to her forehead, then took her wrist in his hand to study her pulse.

He sighed with relief.

"Younger brother! I was so worried! You've been asleep for nearly four days!" Lu FengHo couldn't remember ever being so afraid.

"Ehehehe... I couldn't wake up, no matter what." LanFen had been stuck in her own spirit realm for five days!

She didn't know what was happening outside, and she constantly tried to come back out, but to no avail.

Lady Mei fussed over her, Tang fussed over Lady Mei, the black and white twins and the knowledge demon ran around, playing everywhere, and of course, there had been none other than Elder Xu, to nearly drive her crazy...

Elder Xu, "You-! Even dressed as a man, you aren't safe from this type of thing?!"

LanFen, "I can't help it, that I have this kind of perfect face!"

Elder Xu, "Then resume your identity as a woman! If the Shuǐ successor knew you were a woman, would he send you to annoy such a creepy person?!"

LanFen, "Wouldn't I be taking up a rock to strike my own foot?! Even Elder brother Lu, who I can usually bully, will not let me accompany them anywhere!"

Elder Xu, "Heh! At that time, will you even listen to him? Since when did you listen to others?!"

LanFen, "Heh! If you know I won't listen, why waste time advising me like this?"

Elder Xu, "You-! You-!!"

At present, LanFen shook her head, turning her attention back to Lu FengHo. "But what happened? The poison Kong Xiaoli fed me, was only supposed to make me weak. How did I end sleeping for five days."

Lu FengHo scoffed. "Tch! It's that stone you were clutching! How could you hold onto something that was draining your energy? I don't even know how you got it... It belonged to Shuǐ Chén when he was a child, and I thought it was harmless!"

LanFen held out her hand, and the stone appeared in her palm. "Why would something like this drain my energy? And why did I hold onto it?"

"It was holding on to that thing, that saved your life." A voice said.

The door opened, and Healer Wang entered the room.

LanFen could sense Shuǐ ChénLín just outside the doorway, but he didn't come in.

Healer Wang sat himself on a stool, close to the head of the bed.

His hair appeared longer than before, and his robes were neater. But the same browning cloth covered his eyes, the same jade flute swung from him belt, and he carried the same walking stick.

LanFen eyed him, wondering what he was doing here, but Lu FengHo shook his head.

"The painted stone drew on your energy to summon it's original owner." Healer Wang was saying, as he reached for her wrist.
