Chapter 15: Arguing and Asking Forgiveness

A week later, Zexel was still going in and out of Ming Wangfu without anyone knowing about it.

Right now, she was having an acupuncture session on his legs to relocate the bones in his legs. Using a needle to help him from experiencing pain, she forcefully relocated the bone in both his legs.

After a while, she removed the needles and disinfected them before returning them to her needle holder.

She used a small mallet and used this to test Feng Zhengying's leg. She stroked the mallet on one of his legs and stared at him.

"Do you feel something?" Zexel asked.

Feng Zhengying didn’t know how to react as he felt the pain in his legs. And instead of complaining about how the pain was spreading through his legs, his initial reaction was to laugh.

He couldn't suppress his emotion right now, and even his eyes dropped a lot of tears while he was crying.

"This Lady guesses that you felt it. We will continue this acupuncture session for another week, and while having this session, you'll practice walking for one and a half shichen," Zexel disinfected her needle and brought it back to her needle holder, and she let the mallet go back to her pagoda with her needles.

After a while, she used her metal power to make a multi-purpose staircase with two hand railings and adjustable-width parallel bars.

Everyone was impressed, especially Feng Zhengying's elite subordinates.

"So this one with the staircase is your second-part equipment in your training with your legs. The first one is this—this is called Adjustable Width Parallel Bars. You need to use this railing to support your legs while you are walking. Use your hands and let your legs move. You'll need to do this one and a half shichen every day," Feng Zhengying moved his wheelchair towards the bars and put both hands on the railing.

He used his hands to support his weight and forced himself to stand up.

"Like this?" Feng Zhengying asked.

Zexel dropped her prescription and ran towards Feng Zhengying. She forcefully sat him back in his wheelchair while she stared at him angrily.

"Are you stupid? You still want to waste all my efforts by forcing yourself on those bars? It's still not yet the right time to practice there. If you want to walk again, then follow all of my orders during your session!" She was mad at Feng Zhengying, but she was also worried.

"Don't ever do that again until I say so," she coldly said and left without saying anything.

Feng Zhengying began to emit a dangerous aura that made his elite subordinates shiver.

It was the first time that someone told him that he was stupid, but on the other hand, Zexel was right. He was stupid for what he did.

Zexel just wanted to help him walk again, but he did something that might waste her effort.

Feng Zhengying nodded repeatedly as his subordinates became confused by the behavior of their Master.

Zexel was irritated while she went back to her courtyard. She knew that it was nearly midnight when she went back, but instead of sleeping, she trained her stamina by running around her courtyard.

She ran for one shichen so that she'd be calm before going to bed.

Early in the morning, she went to her sister's courtyard and dragged her again to her restaurant. Fan Yaoli was the one tasting the dishes that all her servants cooked.

She also installed a water tank and water pipes on the rooftop of the store so that it would be convenient for them to use water for dishes.

In the female group, there were one head chef, four chefs, three assistants, three dishwashers, two waitresses, one cashier, and one front desk.

In the male group, there was one head guard, nine guards, two guides, two room reservers, and one waiter. Everyone was already familiar with their roles inside the restaurant, and they were advancing in terms of cultivation using the Wide Meridians Pill that Zexel gave to them. She was using the resources in her alchemy resources room since the pill was only first grade.

Although her resources were limited in terms of types, the quantity of each herb inside her pagoda was infinite, so no matter how many herbs she used, it would not affect the number of pieces it had.

Everyone was grateful towards Zexel, and that made everyone extremely loyal to her. In the two weeks that she trained them, although it was hard, harsh, and rough, it was all worth it because they became so powerful.

In a short span of time, they trained from mornings to evenings, and all of them were determined to become powerful.

They trained not just their cultivation, but also their combat, stamina, agility, endurance, strength, and willpower, making them really ferocious.

Zexel was busy in training her servants when Mo San appeared in her sight.

"Miss Fan!" He was panting since he ran to death just to reach the restaurant in the fastest way.

So Zexel immediately ordered someone to deliver water to him. After Mo San drank the water, he gave a scroll to Zexel, making her confused about the scroll.

"What's this?" she asked him.

Mo San gulped first before he tried to speak.

"It’s a letter from Master. Master said it’s for Miss Fan's eyes only," Mo San said as he sighed and drank another glass of water.

Zexel opened the scroll, and after she read the scroll, she couldn't help but smile.

You are right, Benwang was stupid.

I'm Sorry…

It was written vertically in Mandarin. The letter was so beautiful that it could even pass as a calligraphy piece. Every stroke was emitting strong and dominant curves, giving every letter a life.

She brought out her brush and adjusted the scroll in the blank space. She wrote a calligraphy reply in the blank space:

Apology accepted
