Chapter 37: Tang Su Li

Qin Qianyu treated the 12 men to a hearty meal at one of the most famous restaurants in the city.

She booked a private room for all of them and joined them for a meal.

For many of them it was a first, being treated to such a place for a meal. Some had been here before but only as guards.

They were happy with the gesture Qin Qianyu gave, grandpa Wú said nothing and just let her indulge in her whims.

After the meal the pair took their time and headed off to the airport at a leisurely pace and waited for the plane.

The guards left them. They were very satisfied with Qin Qianyu, they had a good impression of her and they told grandpa Wú as much.

"Well when she settles in the capital, do be sure to keep an eye out for her."

"Yes Elder Wú, you can count on us."

"Mhm, very good, alright go back now, and don't gloat to the others that Qin Qianyu treated you all to a meal, it'll make her feel obligated to them. Let her slowly adjust to everyone and everything at her own pace."

As grandpa Wú finished with the guards, Qin Qianyu had returned from the ticket kiosk.

The guards gave a bow to both of them before heading back.

"I hope I meet them again when we all make our move here."

"Oh? What's so good about them?"

"Hmm, I'm not sure, but, it's like you all share the same aura, do you get what I mean?"

Grandpa Wú nodded internally, these men were some of the last soldiers he trained personally.

They also run the studio here in the capital and other enterprises that Wú Haodong owns, like Secondhand, the luxury clothing brand.

He had been waiting for Qin Qianyu for so long that he delved into many different things from business to recreational pursuits.

His aim soon became to leave a legacy for his one disciple, to be his successor, not only in the art of Wú but his successor in everything he owned.

He had formally cut ties to his blood family after they "sold" him, so he created his own legacies in various areas.

He mostly did all this to spite his parents and siblings for being so uncaring towards him and to prove to himself that one didn't need to sell a life to gain riches and complete dreams.

Everyone in Wú Haodong's inner circle knew that he would one day give everything to his one disciple, which was why when he first met Qin Qianyu and he handed over the keys to the studio he had told her that it was hers from that day onwards.

He had planned to tell her everything after his second visit to Jing Hospital but that didn't turn out to well.

Wú Haodong had a fairly good grasp of Qin Qianyu's personality. She was a good seedling and someone who would carry on what he has created and even bring it to newer heights in long run.

He was glad to see her forging her own path in life as well. She wasn't relying on others solely, but herself. Being able to purchase a home for her family so that they would still be close to her as she steps into the world of higher education made him a little envious of all her family members.

He had no idea about her plan to renovate apart of the property for him. This would be her surprise for him as well as her family.

He was oddly quiet on the way back home, Qin Qianyu knew that even though she gave him a 5 form pill, he would still be tired because of the mess his body was in.

She didn't pester him, she just gave him a smile along with a pillow and blanket and made him as comfortable as possible.

Once home, grandpa Wú headed straight to bed after a small discussion with Qin Qianyu

"Tomorrow we'll begin a new training program for you."

"What kind? Is it more kicks and stuff?"

Grandpa Wú shook his head,

"Weapons,"

Qin Qianyu just nodded, in her mind she was wondering why she would need to learn such a thing, it wasn't till she heard grandpa Wú again that she sort of understood.

"Anyway go rest up, tonight is your last session with that client right? If it looks a little hairy, no one will blame you for securing your own safety."

It was as she thought, although grandpa Wú had given her guidance on hand to hand combat, if it involved weapons it could get a little dicey.

The evening went on, she spent all her time with Bai Saan who was overly excited to have her back.

She spent a few good hours with him and he lapped up every second of it before she had to leave and attend to her appointment.

Qin Qianyu changed her outfit and made her way towards the meeting spot.

She was glad that she wouldn't be late, she could get this over and done with and start planning ahead seeing that she didn't have to go to school anymore.

The row of cars and bus met her at the meeting spot.

The doors opened and the teen came out to greet Qin Qianyu all by himself.

"Well look at you! How are you feeling?"

"Much better, I have so much energy I don't know what to do with it."

"Haha! Don't most teen boys like doing "wrist" exercises while "cleaning" their room?"

"Pfft!"

" . . . "

The main guard stood next to the teen and quickly turned away to stifle his laugh. Qin Qianyu saw the awkwardness in the teen and laughed it off.

"It's a totally natural thing to do, there's no need to feel ashamed."

"I don't! . . I've never! . . "

"It's because you've been too sick, after this session, that'll soon change to "I Do!" and "I'll always!" Haha so don't fret to much."

"Hmph! Perverted She-beast!"

" . . . "

"Bahahaha! She-beast!"

This was a first for Qin Qianyu, she laughed happily because she was still in a good mood from her trip to the capital with Grandpa Wú.

"Alright, shall we get started then?"

"Mhm, please,"

The teen says as he gestured for Qin Qianyu to come aboard the bus.

Qin Qianyu explained what this final session would entail to the teen and his men.

She told him that she would reactivate certain cells within him, his underdevelopment was because the poison had interrupted this simple process and while she's treating him, he would most likely suffer unimaginable pain so he and his men should prepare themselves mentally.

Qin Qianyu started off with giving the anxious teen a full body deep tissue massage to loosen up the muscles, tendons, and help the teen to relax.

She massaged an oil into his skin that was of her own making, it was part stimulus, and part anaesthetic.

This was to lessen as much of the pain he would soon experience as possible.

"I'll begin, once I do, I can't stop."

"I understand, I'm ready,"

"Good, keep that positive mindset, remember, you've been though so many years being poisoned and sick, you can endure 4 hours right?"

"Right!"

Qin Qianyu gave the teen a reassuring look then proceeded with the first lot of needles.

This first step wasn't to bad, but it was just the beginning. She placed 19 needles strategically around his body starting with his neck, and back.

"Alright I'll start now, endure it, it won't be short."

"I'm ready,"

The teen says with clenched teeth.

Qin Qianyu moved and started manipulating the needles quickly.

A short turn on two needles, a long slow turn of another two. She kept doing this for all 19 needles.

The teen was howling from the get go, every time he did, cracking noises sounded out and everyone inside the bus could swear the felt the sound they were hearing.

For an entire hour the screaming and swearing went on nonstop. What she was targeting was his neck and spine, shoulders and pelvic area.

The main guard was shocked, the teens body had lengthened and looked proportional to his head now, before his head looked so big on the little body of his but now, because of a few needles, the teens body was were it should have originally been at for his current age.

"You're doing well, alright, next is your limbs, again it'll be an hour process. I'll start with both your arms and hands, then after that your legs and feet."

"Mhm,"

The teen managed to mutter.

Qin Qianyu started placing the needles where they should go. But this time she used all 20.

The Silver Phoenix Talon was used as the locking pin to stop the body from flexing too much and to lessen the pain while she attended to the teens arms.

Just like how she did it for his body, she started doing the same for his arms. Much of the same happened.

His screaming and howling echoed throughout the bus as all of his bones cracked under the manipulation of the needles.

An hour later his arms were done. The main guard was beyond astonished at this point, all that was left were the teens legs.

The guard looked him over, the teen resembled a gorilla with its huge upper body and arms and its small legs. This was what came to his mind when he saw him.

Qin Qianyu quickly setup to start the legs. An hour later they were done. The final phase now was a soak in a tub with medical herbs.

The bath on the bus was filled with piping hot water with the herbs added, the heat was able to break down the ingredients and infuse with the water.

Qin Qianyu picked the teen up and carried him to the tub. His muscles were too relaxed and extremely sore at this point so Qin Qianyu stayed with him so that he wouldn't drown in the tub.

"It's all done after this, what's the first thing you're going to do!? "Explore" this new body of yours?"

Qin Qianyu quipped as she sat next to the tub. The teen just groaned and tiredly rolled his eyes at her.

He was shocked and excited when he saw his legs had reached the entire length of the tub. Before, in his previous state, even if he had stretched out with his arms above his head he couldn't reach the ends.

"I'll build up my health and body, then I'll make my counter attack. All those that had harmed me won't even get a grave to lay in."

"Even though you paid for it, don't let my work go to waste. You've paid for a new lease on life, don't squander it entirely for hate and revenge. Once it's done, find something more productive to do with your life."

The teen said nothing, he just gave a throaty reply then closed his eyes and continued relaxing his entire body.

"I've left several more packages for you, bathe in this medical solution for the next three days and the rest will be up to you."

The hour was up, and the teen got up, a little shaky but quickly found his balance. He wore a robe and Qin Qianyu led him to the resting area where the men were waiting for him.

They were shocked and amazed at seeing the teens new look. He still looked the same just bigger.

Qin Qianyu started packing up then turned to the teen,

"Don't skimp meals, they'll help build up the nutrients your body is missing and sorely in need of to function properly."

"You know, I've been thinking these past three days, having a personal physician wouldn't be such a bad thing, how about it? I'll pay you handsomely!"

"Haha, how cute! Sorry little man, I have my own plans and they don't include being tied down."

"Hmm, it was worth a shot! What if I need to contact you again in the future?"

Qin Qianyu thought about it and added him to her Phantom Fox Hextext account.

"My name is Tang Su Li, If you need anything in the future please don't hesitate to contact me. I'll help you out without reservations."

Qin Qianyu shook her head and sighed lightly as she stated matter of factly,

"You shouldn't make bold promises on a whim, what if I need certain people to never enter reincarnation ever again? Can you make it happen? . . If not,"

"If need be, just tell me who, when, and where these people are."

"Haha, just kidding, you're 16, stick to being 16, then keep doing so with each birthday you have for another 100 years got it?"

" . . . "

"Alright I'm done here, I'll leave first, I still have other things to attend to."

Qin Qianyu said no more and left Tang Su Li and his men without looking back. As soon as she knew that she wasn't being followed she used shadowless steps and flashed away till she got back to the studio.

"Mr Tang, they lost her again. They said her moves were too fast for them to keep track off."

"Mhm, alright, what about the cook?"

"We first had the contents of the container checked and it was as the Phantom Fox said, aflatoxin is indeed a poisonous substance and the amount in the container was enough to kill you 100 times over."

"As for the cook, we went back but she took her own life before we could interrogate her fully,"

"So we don't know who was behind her then?"

"I'm sorry, it's my mistake."

"Don't worry, since they went this far, it means they finally can't sit back any longer. Why couldn't I just have a normal mother? Why would she make all us siblings fight it out with each other like this? Haaa, alright let's stay here for a week and head back then."

"Yes Mr Tang."
