Xie Xiaoran and Xie Huan’s bodies are gradually recovering. With An Yiqing’s treatment and the elixirs she concocted, their recovery progressed by leaps and bounds, making both Xie Xiaoran and Xie Huan repeatedly marvel at the results.

Shen Tian has been implementing Xie Xiaoran’s plan. He took Wang Mang and a few others back to the Sanfeng Association and then "inadvertently" revealed the news of Xie Xiaoran and Xie Huan’s disappearance. Originally, people didn’t believe it, but after seeing Shen Tian come and go from the Sanfeng Association several times these days, everyone started to panic.

When some people are panicked, naturally there are others who are secretly delighted. Within the Sanfeng Association, undercurrents surged, and a storm was brewing.

But all of this was not within An Yiqing’s line of sight. She knew that the Sanfeng Association and the Jiang Family had a grudge, but that wasn’t enough of a reason for her to help them. However, she was more than willing to cure Xie Xiaoran and Xie Huan, just to irritate Jiang Huai and Jiang Zirong.

On this day, An Yiqing came to Xie Xiaoran and Xie Huan’s room for a routine check-up.

Inside the room, Shen Tian and Wang Mang and others were reporting the recent situation of the Sanfeng Association to the two.

"Family Head, your foresight was spot on. Lv Qiang, that old bastard really started moving in secret, and those few others you guessed also made moves. Besides, someone unknown in the gang started spreading bright rumors, saying that you and the Young Master have passed away, and that the Sanfeng Association needs to choose a new Sect Leader. Now the gang is in turmoil, and the factions are gradually becoming clear." Shen Tian said.

"Hmm, wait a while longer, now is not the time to act." Xie Xiaoran said in a deep voice.

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was knocked, and An Yiqing came in carrying a medicine box.

"How are you both feeling today?"

Upon seeing An Yiqing, Shen Tian, Wang Mang, and the others immediately stood up to greet her. Meanwhile, Xie Xiaoran and Xie Huan also sat up from their beds.

"Miss An, with your medical arts and spiritual medicine, I’m much better." A look of gratitude appeared on Xie Xiaoran’s square face, for he kept in mind the favor An Yiqing did, saving him and Xie Huan in a critical moment and helping them remove the bullets.

Xie Huan also nodded, a smile on his delicate face.

"It’s good to hear you’re recovering, come, let’s do the routine check-up." An Yiqing said while sitting next to Xie Xiaoran, "You can continue talking, don’t mind me."

Xie Xiaoran nodded, signaling Shen Tian to continue.

These days, Shen Tian and the others had gotten used to reporting official matters to Xie Xiaoran in An Yiqing’s presence, so there was nothing to avoid.

"Family Head, but recently I heard rumors that the Galaxy Sect and the Jiang Family seem to be secretly planning something, possibly detrimental to our Sanfeng Association." Shen Tian frowned, looking worried, "Do you think they might be trying to take advantage of the rumors about your and the Young Master’s disappearance to suppress us?"

Everyone frowned in unison; this was their biggest concern.

"Now the Sanfeng Association is in turmoil, and the forces are splitting. If the Galaxy Sect wants to launch an attack now, our brothers may not be their match." Xie Huan’s delicate eyebrows furrowed. He extended his right hand to An Yiqing, his lips slightly pursed, watching An Yiqing’s fingers on his wrist, while his thoughts had drifted far away, "Uncle Shen, how many of the brothers are on our side?"

"Those with firm positions account for forty percent. The others, currently neutral, are about eighteen percent. The rest are divided into three factions. If the Galaxy Sect really has ill intentions towards us, we only have forty percent of the people to rely on." Shen Tian analyzed calmly.

Everyone fell silent; forty percent, too few! If Jiang Zirong truly intends to deal with them, he will definitely put forth his best effort; how could merely forty percent handle it?

Moreover, the traitor from last time hasn’t been exposed yet. If he stirs things up again, the situation would become even more dangerous.

"If it comes to it, I’ll just storm the Jiang Family and chop Jiang Zirong and Jiang Huai into pieces!" Wang Mang couldn’t take the convoluted thinking, feeling stifled and burst out cursing.

Shen Tian turned to glare at him, "What kind of talk is that? With the Family Head, the Young Master, and Miss An present, watch your mouth! Jiang Zirong and Jiang Huai can be killed, but what then? As long as the Galaxy Sect isn’t disbanded, our enemies will always be there! Why don’t you use your brain?!"

Wang Mang, berated by Shen Tian, shrank his neck and lowered his head, mumbling, "You bookish types think too complicatedly. Once Jiang Zirong and Jiang Huai are dead, and there’s a new Sect Leader, I’ll go kill them. If there’s one, I’ll kill one; if there are two, I’ll kill a pair!"
