Chapter 88: Definitely not.

The night was long for those inside their rooms and it was made even longer with their access to the internet blocked also.

Qin Qianyu was escorted to the main entrance to the VIP ward and walked through heading straight to Mu Liang's room.

She slowly opened the door and entered trying not to disturb those inside.

However, Lu Mingyu was a light sleeper so when she heard the door opening she woke right up and turned her phones light on.

"Who . . Lady Phantom Fox?"

"Mhm, are you well?"

"Why are you here? . . Are you helping with the quarantine?"

"Mhm, You can say that. I'm mostly poking my nose in where it's not wanted, plus since you're here I needed to make sure they were doing a proper job."

"Haha, come,"

Lu Mingyu giggled. She shuffled over on the porta-bed, she was on making a space and patted it indicating Qin Qianyu to have a seat.

She walked over and looked to Mu Liang fast asleep in his own bed. Qin Qianyu looked to Lu Mingyu then to Mu Liang and asked softly,

"He hasn't tried to do anything to you has he?"

Lu Mingyu's eyes went wide and she shook her head vigorously,

"You don't have to worry, Hero Mu isn't like that. He's a good hearted, brave and morally sound young man."

Qin Qianyu laughed in her heart at how Lu Mingyu was taking up her hero.

Qin Qianyu nodded and sat down on the space provided. She then held out a hand, Lu Mingyu understood her thoughts and offered her wrist for Qin Qianyu to check her pulse.

"Are you a glutton for excitement?"

Qin Qianyu quipped as she checked Lu Mingyu thoroughly. Lu Mingyu pouted at Qin Qianyu and added,

"It's all a coincidence, I was actually heading home today but my sister and our friend made me stay."

"Oh, you know you can say if you don't want to do anything you don't want to right? No one can force you."

"I . . Of course I know, I . . . Ah . . Oh! I just thought it would be nice for my sister and Xiaoyu to have some time together,"

"So you did it for their sake,"

"Ah! Mhm, that's right!"

"Mingyu, your pulse is telling me otherwise,"

" . . . "

Lu Mingyu snatched her hand away and lightly blushed at Qin Qianyu's teasing, Qin Qianyu had a light giggle to herself before tapping the girls forehead lightly,

"Hehe, I'm only teasing. How cute are you!"

Lu Mingyu couldn't help but give Qin Qianyu a stink eye as her lips gave an upside down smile.

This made Qin Qianyu giggle even more.

Qin Qianyu looked around and saw the books that the resident doctor had bought over for Mu Liang.

She spotted one book in particular. It was an old acupuncture book.

"Mingyu . . "

"Yes?"

"Do me a favour and sit up straight."

Lu Mingyu cocked an eyebrow but still did as she was asked.

Qin Qianyu told her to concentrate and follow her movements as much as she could then started.

It didn't take Lu Mingyu long, she copied the movements Qin Qianyu was showing her to a tee.

Lu Mingyu had picked it up faster than Qin Qianyu had, when Grandpa Wú showed her. It was the breathing exercise from the Phoenix cries Dragons roar manuscript.

Qin Qianyu however made a few adjustments to it herself to make it easier for Lu Mingyu to continue using.

Qin Qianyu had Lu Mingyu continue and as she did, Qin Qianyu went behind her and started opening up Mingyu's pathways.

An hour later Qin Qianyu nodded and Lu Mingyu came out of her trance.

"How do you feel?"

"Incredible! What was that!?"

Lu Mingyu whispered quietly but excitedly.

"Just a little gift to help you on your future journey."

"There's just one more thing left to do,"

"Oh! What is it?"

Qin Qianyu pressed a few points on Mingyu's navel then thirst at it with a palm strike.

"Expelling the impurities, hehehe!"

"Impurit . . "

PRRRRRRRT!

Lu Mingyu didn't finish saying her sentence as gas passed through her breaking the silence of the night.

It was so quiet in the room that the sound her fart made was like a movie explosion going off while she sat next to the speaker.

Mortified, she went wide eyed and her mouth was agape. Mingyu quickly swivelled her head to the right and stared right at Mu Liang who was facing her with his eyes closed.

But that wasn't the end of it, soon her bowels started moving. She grit her teeth and snarled at Qin Qianyu who was smiling jovially at the flustered girl and then she lightly giggled as Lu Mingyu clutched her stomach and backside then made a mad dash to the toilet.

Once inside, Lu Mingyu turned the sink tap on to block out any noise she was about to make.

Qin Qianyu fanned the air as she giggled then turned to Mu Liang.

"You can stop pretending now, Mingyu will be in there for a while, so let's have a chat."

" . . . "

Mu Liang slowly fluttered his eyes open and stared silently at the woman wearing a fox mask.

"Tell me, have you noticed the changes in your body?"

Mu Liang said nothing and only nodded to Qin Qianyu.

He noticed it when he initially woke up. The Cao's had explained to him about Qin Qianyu coming in and checking on him, but Mu Liang had no idea who she was.

This made the young Dr Cao a little confused so he retold them what had taken place during his interview at the station and how Qin Qianyu had called Mu Liang one of her people that had important information that she needed.

Dr Cao didn't realised that she had meant information about Mingyu, but Mu Liang realised this.

"Good, I don't know why that pathway for you was blocked off, but if I had to guess, it must have been because your parents didn't finish off your training before they passed. But, it's open now so do make the most of it."

Mu Liang's eyes started to well up, as he blinked two streams of tears ran down his chubby fair cheeks.

Mu Liang became surprised at hearing this as it was as she said.

His parents were opening pathways in his body a step at a time. They didn't want their son to become arrogant if they had opened them all at once.

The last pathway was to be unlock on his 18th birthday, but before they could open the last of his body's pathway, they had both met with an accident.

As he told Qin Qianyu all this she nodded and saw the logic in that.

"Well at least they can rest well knowing you haven't become what the feared. So accept this as a gift for being good to Mingyu."

"Who . . Who are you . . Like really?"

"That's not important, you just have to know that I'll destroy anyone the hurts those close to me, do you understand me?"

Mu Liang went quiet again and only nodded.

Qin Qianyu then reached into her bag and handed him a bottle filled with pills and told him to take one every second day until finished.

She left another bottle for Mingyu as well and a few other things.

"Since the two of you will be in here for a while, I want you to help Mingyu learn these set of techniques. These are special and only work with the breathing exercise I've taught her so don't try and copy them least you want your "little brother" to become a "little sister" if you get my drift."

Mu Liang nodded. He truly understood the implications of this.

"Some of these are enhanced versions of what you'd be familiar with already, since I'm here helping out with this quarantine mess, I'll be checking in periodically so don't get any ideas about the two of you being alone in this little room."

"I'll definitely not have any ideas, I promise."

"Fail! . . "

"Huh!?"

"Haise! If I have to explain it . . "

" . . . "

Mu Liang was really confused now. But, he couldn't say anything as the taps in the bathroom were turned off and the door opened up.

An angry Mingyu stared daggers of death towards Qin Qianyu only to catch a glimpse of Mu Liang staring at her too.

Mu Liang lay back down and closed his eyes, horror formed on Lu Mingyu's face as she darted back into the bathroom and closed the door.

Qin Qianyu watched all this happening and shook her head.

She stood up and pulled the blankets away from Mu Liang.

Then with lightning quick strikes she did the exact same motions as she did on Mingyu and he found himself in the same predicament Lu Mingyu was in.

Buurrrrrt!

He looked at Qin Qianyu in horror,

"Why? . . Why did you . . "

He couldn't finish as he clutched his stomach and got off the bed clenching his hind cheeks together rather tightly.

He waddled in a panic to the bathroom door and knocked quickly,

"Someone's in here,"

Lu Mingyu grimaced as she spoke. Mu Liang and Qin Qianyu were both amused but the latter, he was in a hurry.

"Ahh, I need . . to use the toilet,"

" . . . "

"Mingyu, please, I really need to go!"

"No! . . You can't come in!"

"Mingyu, please!"

"No! You definitely can't come in . . The . . The smell . . It hasn't gone away yet,"

Lu Mingyu mumbled quietly at the end Qin Qianyu chuckled then replied,

"Mingyu, if you don't let him in, this room is going to smell worse!"

The door opened and a rosy red cheeked Lu Mingyu emerged with her head down and whispered under her breath,

"So . . Sorry about the sm. . the smell teacher Mu,"

"It's . . Fine,"

Mu Liang replied and waddled like a duck into the bathroom.

Lu Mingyu bowed apologetically until the door closed.

She rushed to her own bed and threw the bed covers over her and pinched Qin Qianyu's thigh at the same time.

To say she was totally embarrassed was an understatement. Qin Qianyu giggle at the pinch and Lu Mingyu's reaction.

She lightly patted the lumpy bed covers in a soothing manner before giving it a cuddle and a squeeze.

"Don't worry about it too much. It's unknown how long you'll be stuck in here so you'll both bound to hear, smell and see the unexpected."

Lu Mingyu only gave a whimper before Qin Qianyu slapped her buttocks,

"Okay, enough of that, time to be an adult now. This quarantine business looks pretty bad so until it's all sorted out please be wary and vigilant. Don't relax your guard just because you're only bond to this room."

Lu Mingyu came out of blanket of solace still a little aggrieved but understood the seriousness of the entire situation.

Qin Qianyu gave Lu Mingyu a bottle of pills, these were immunity boosters she made and mixed them with the 5 form pill.

"Every morning before sunrise I want you to do the breathing exercise I've taught you. After that an hour of exercise. For now just do what you can recall, even if it's just dancing, do that. A fit healthy body means a healthier immune system."

"Wh . . What about the poop? Will what just happened now happen every time I do that breathing exercise?"

Qin Qianyu shook her head with a smile. She tells Lu Mingyu that it was just a one off thing to remove the impurities that had accumulated in her body.

"That's a relief, that was really nasty you know, and mean of you! You could have warned me!"

"Hehe, I know, I've experienced it too. Least you're not alone though,"

Qin Qianyu added and gestured with her head towards the door,

"You two can be considered twins now haha!"

" . . . "

The girls chatted some more, Qin Qianyu was waiting for Mu Liang to come back as she had other things to discuss.

"He's taking a while. Hope he didn't fall into the bowl!"

"Mr Mu! . . You still alive in there?"

Qin Qianyu went to the door and asked. Qin Qianyu caught something in her periphery and dodged backwards.

As she did, the door opened up and Mu Liang came out with a shameful expression on his face.

It didn't last long as his face was soon slapped with a pillow that Lu Mingyu had thrown at Qin Qianyu.

"Ahh!"

Lu Mingyu squealed aloud.

Qin Qianyu chuckled and picked up the thrown pillow before it had a chance to hit the ground and casually tossed it back to Lu Mingyu.

"Have a seat, I don't have all day, I've got other people to see."

Mu Liang nodded and went to his bed. Both he and Lu Mingyu tried to avoid making eye contact with each other making Qin Qianyu shake her head as she sighed lightly.

Seeing the bashfulness and shyness took her back to the innocent days of her former life when matters of the heart were involved.

She soon collected her thoughts and explained to them what the situation is.

"Mhm, so that's it, well that's all we know for now. We just aren't sure if it's pathogenic in its delivery or primarily a parasitic organism so do your best to keep fit and build your immune system up using the medication I've given the both of you."

"Now, . . Mr Mu, . . If you notice a parasite on either of you, then I want you to employ a five element lock on then use a tracing needle to coax it out."

"I understand, I'll do my best."

"Mhm, I've no doubt in your skills."

Qin Qianyu had seen the level of his needle work and it was truly impressive. Although it couldn't help Cheng Yifei fully, he was able to extend her life to those years she was told she had left which is equally impressive as it is amazing considering she wouldn't have had that otherwise.

The trio chatted some more and Qin Qianyu shared some insights that she had made and vice versa.

Lu Mingyu found the whole topic awe inspiring which in turn fed her 'wanting' to enter Renshi and learn more about TCM.

"Alright you two, I have another visit to make tonight so get some rest. I'll come when time permits."

Qin Qianyu bade farewell to the pair and left the room.

Her next stop would be to Wen Wú Ting's room to check out how he's doing.
