Zhuan An dragging her father soon came to the gate, and like everyone else, Zhuan Shan commented about the place before walking in.
Coming into the room where Fei Sun was leaning to the wall, and Meng Chin who was checking on the boy on the bed did Zhuan Shan first focus on Meng Chin.
'Hmm. That is weird' Zhuan Shan thought for a moment before everything went back to normal.
Everything went back to normal as in Meng Chin realised that Zhuan Shan had come in, and so had stopped using her full powers to examine Xiao Fan.
Meng Chin's actions had been too precise for Zhuan Shan, who had seen doctors of higher cultivation level examine patients, and it happened to be very reminiscent of how Meng Chin had been doing it.
But maybe it was a fluke Zhuan Shan concluded as like everyone else he underestimated the lazy fox.
¨Fellow elder¨ He greeted her and when she did the same continued ¨What is the situation¨ while unpacking things out of his bag.
¨The situation isn't ideal. He will survive and recover, but to what extent he will heal is the question¨ Meng Chin spoke vaguely as she should.
Anyway, Zhuan Shan wasn't even looking for her opinion. It was only a friendly question.
Meng Chin also knew this and so when Zhuan Shan got to examine Xiao Fan's body she made way.
After that, the room went quiet as Fei Sun and Zhuan An went into the other room to talk while Meng Chin silently watched Zhuan Shan in the case the man would do anything.
Currently, she wouldn't trust a fellow elder.
Luckily for both Zhuan Shan wasn't here to finish his to be son in law as he looked over Xiao Fan's body rigorously.
¨Do you currently hold any Greenheart mix?¨ Zhuan Shan spoke while still examining Xiao Fan.
¨No when I captured him he didn't have any, neither has he concocted any to my knowledge¨ Meng Chin was surprised to know that Zhuan Shan knew Xiao Fan's identity.
But it was easy to think where he knew it.
¨The girl talks a little too much about this boy¨ Zhuan Shan said while a little saddened to hear that there was no Greenheart mix here.
Firstly he could have used it to tend Xiao Fan's outer wounds, while secondly take a portion of it to himself for study.
Meng Chin had also become suspicious about Zhuan Shan ¨So that's why you haven't stuck a needle into his throat¨
¨Pretty much, plus it would seem that someone would fight to the death with me if my hands would slip¨ Zhuan Shan laughed while holding a scalpel to Xiao Fan's throat.
¨I think it will be better for you and your daughter if you just keep him alive¨ Meng Chin threatened.
Also, while she had spoken, she had already locked the scalpel that had been on Xiao Fan's throat.
For a brief moment Zhuan Shan felt how he had been dead ¨The lazy elder isn't so lazy as people say¨ He spoke back.
However, while his shock might have only shown to the outside for a second, it did continue inside him where his heart pounded.
'Shouldn't have tested a crazy woman' And other thoughts were running in his mind.
¨Now that you know, please refrain yourself from making any more jokes about murdering him, okay?¨ She said and let the scalpel go.
¨Yes¨ Came a simple answer as Zhuan Shan got back to operating on Xiao Fan's head.
¨What is going on? What was that noise just now?¨ Came the voice of Zhuan An who had run inside the operating room after hearing a loud stomp.
¨Nothing¨ Came a reply from both elders at the same time.
Hearing this did make Zhuan An's immediate worries go away, though it didn't make the long term one go.
So a gulp later she asked ¨Father will Xiao Fan be okay?¨
¨Xiao Fan will be just fine my daughter, but right now I need to focus¨ Zhuan Shan promised while doing some precise movements with his scalpel.
¨Remember that you said so¨ Zhuan An spoke with a little bit of happiness in her voice that came from hearing her father say so.
To this, Zhuan Shan shook his head and made signs with his hands for her to get out.
Which she did.
¨Look how concerned your daughter is for my man¨ Meng Chin taunted.
¨Then why don't you go and marry him? At least abide some of the rules¨ Zhuan Shan questioned her motives.
¨Maybe I will, but if I do so I don't think it will be appropriate for your daughter to do so before she is an elder¨
¨Why can't you be the lazy person that everyone thinks you are?¨ Zhuan Shan felt helpless. Indeed if Meng Chin did so, it would be hugely inappropriate for her daughter to marry Xiao Fan.
¨Leave me be, and in turn, I will do the same. Cross me? I'll kill you¨ Meng Chin asserted.
To that line, Zhuan Shan didn't respond to anymore as he was in a critical situation in the operation.
Moreover, the pressure he felt from Meng Chin currently was a little too much to this elder's liking. When coming here, he hadn't really thought that Meng Chin was able to kill him.
Furthermore was that she would kill him if something would happen to Xiao Fan. But now wasn't the time to think such things since he was about to close the last wound on Xiao Fan's face.
¨I have done what I could¨ Zhuan Shan spoke as he straightened his back.
¨Let me see¨ Meng Chin spoke hastily while pushing the doctor aside.
If this would have happened before this Zhuan Shan would have been sure to take this somewhere, but now knowing more, he didn't dare to voice his opinion.
Meng Chin not caring what Zhuan Shan would think about her actions was now closely looking every spot that had a wound on it.
To her delight, the wounds seemed to be closed off so nicely that they might not leave a mark on her boy toy's face.
¨You are pretty good at these things¨ Meng Chin even complimented the doctor who she had just moments ago pushed around. Then after saying so she again focussed back to Xiao Fan's face that seemed to be sleeping well.
Meng Chin's now only focussing Xiao Fan not even registering Zhuan Shan thanking for her compliment made enough room that the man slipped out of the room.
To get her daughter, of course.
Coming to the room where Fei Sun and Zhuan An were talking about something the man spoke.
¨The operation is successful and over, but before you go Zhuan An stay here for a moment¨ He said sternly looking at his daughter who wanted to speed off to the other room.
¨What is it?¨ Zhuan An asked while her body wanted to go after Fei Sun who had left the room.
Why was she being held by her father from seeing Xiao Fan? She didn't understand at all.
Zhuan Shan closing the door behind Fei Sun implored ¨Does Meng Chin come off as odd sometimes to you?¨
Zhuan An first only thought what was this all about, but seeing that she wasn't getting out before this talk was over begun to ponder the question.
¨No not really. You know I have been outside the sect many times with her, yet never has she done anything out of her normal ways¨
¨I see. She does hide her powers well then¨ Zhuan Shan spoke as he pondered.
¨What is father thinking about?¨ Zhuan An had no idea why was he thinking about, nor cared as she just wanted to go and see Xiao Fan.
¨Can you for a moment stop thinking about that boy?¨ Zhuan Shan exclaimed with a hint of frustration in his actions.
This shocked Zhuan An ¨You don't like Xiao Fan? Trust me he's a wonderful person father¨ She spoke trying to defend him.
¨This is not about Xiao Fan; everything is not about Xiao Fan¨ Zhuan Shan was getting frustrated shown by how his hand was caressing his forehead.
¨Then I don't care¨ She said and tried to get past her father who was blocking the door.
However, her actions quickly came to an end as Zhuan Shan using his cultivation locked her in place.
Zhuan An felt as if she had been forced to stay in place when her father's hand touched her shoulder.
¨If you listen to me for five seconds I'll let you go¨ Zhuan Shan spoke while lifting his daughter and placed her back in front of him.
¨Okay¨ Zhuan An spoke; in her mind, five seconds was long, but then again, it might become much longer.
¨Keep any gossip around Meng Chin to minimal and don't think of her as some lazy person¨ Zhuan Shan spoke in that once in a while serious dad tone.
¨Okay¨ Was the simple reply from Zhuan An who then squirmed her way past Zhuan Shan and then towards the room where Xiao Fan was in.
'Really?' Was the thought inside Zhuan Shan's mind after seeing how his serious warning had been almost shrugged off by his daughter.
In reality, Zhuan An had noted what he had said, yet there was a much more pressing matter at hand. This was to check on Xiao Fan who was still lying in the same spot the same way.
Zhuan An came to the side of the bed where Fei Sun was looking at the sleeping Xiao Fan while Meng Chin stayed on the other. Not saying a word for a moment, they all just looked at Xiao Fan.
The silence was broken by Zhuan An who wanted to stay here and wait for Xiao Fan to wake up. Hearing this both of them had a mixed back of thoughts mainly Meng Chin.
¨I can't have visitors here. Look at this place¨ Meng Chin stated to the girl wanting to stay next to her crush.
¨I'll help you clean¨ Was the obvious thing that Zhuan An said to this.
¨No can do. I'm cleaning this place with Xiao Fan¨ Meng Chin countered.
Zhuan An was going to say something to this, but then remembering what her father had said she only humphed.
¨Good girl¨ Meng Chin smiled knowing that she had won ¨You can come back here again tomorrow.
Fei Sun didn't have a lot to say to this, and so after a while more excused herself and left. While on the other hand, Zhuan An stayed for a much longer while hoping that maybe Xiao Fan would suddenly wake up.
That wasn't, of course, going to happen. Then some hours later, Meng Chin wanting to sleep herself started to ask for her to leave. Yet even after ten or so minutes of Meng Chin trying to make her leave with words was she still here.
Zhuan An being like this was almost making Meng Chin let her stay here.
However, Meng Chin's plan didn't let her, as she wanted to use this unconscious time of Xiao Fan to ¨clean¨ her home. As in hiring someone else to do it while she would take the glory.
In Meng Chin's mind, this was a perfect plan, and to keep it that way Zhuan An would need to leave.
¨How about this if Xiao Fan wakes up I'll let you know?¨ And other coaxing later Zhuan An was finally leaving. Still, her eyes stared at Xiao Fan the entire time that Meng Chin was pushing her out of the room.
When Zhuan An was finally gone Meng Chin herself took a look at the only clean bed in her house.
A clean room, a clean bed, and the man she liked sleeping on said bed ¨Perfect¨ She said while going to sleep on it.
Laying down on the bed, she took one of Xiao Fan's hands to her own clutches and began to sleep.
