Protagonist:

Yan Qianqian

However, before Hua Hua could finish speaking, Qianqian vanished from the spot like a flash of lightning.

Seeing this, Hua Hua froze, muttering inwardly: "Running that fast, do you even know where Wangchen is?"

But just as Hua Hua's words fell, Qianqian appeared before her again like a specter with a "whoosh," giving Hua Hua a huge fright.

"Where?" Qianqian asked urgently.

Hua Hua was badly startled by Qianqian's sudden appearance and complained coquettishly: "Master, scaring people like that will scare them to death!"

Qianqian lightly patted Hua Hua's head and said with a hint of reproach: "Let's talk business!"

Hua Hua snapped back to reality with an "ah," then stammered: "In... in Qianji Yuan." Before the words even fell, Qianqian vanished without a trace like a bolt of lightning.

Hua Hua was startled by this sudden turn of events; only after a moment did she catch her breath. She dared not delay in the slightest, hurriedly quickening her pace and sprinting back after Qianqian.

When Qianqian rushed back to Qianji Yuan in a flurry, she saw at a glance Wangchen lying quietly on the bed, while the bedside was empty. Frantic, she shouted at the top of her lungs: "Mantou! Mantou!"

Just then, Hua Hua also came running up, panting: "Mas... Master... Man... Mantou went... went to fetch Sixth Young Master... Jie."

Hearing this, Qianqian's brows furrowed slightly and she grumbled in dissatisfaction: "Why so slow!"

Saying this, she walked quickly to the bedside, reached out and touched Wangchen's forehead, and let out a slight breath of relief: "Mm, still breathing."

As she was thinking, she saw Mantou burst into the courtyard like a gust of wind dragging Yan Jie along, still urging: "Sixth Young Master, faster, faster!"

Yan Jie was dragged by Mantou until he staggered, running with difficulty while gasping: "Man... Mantou Elder Sister, slow... slow down..."

Finally reaching the courtyard, Yan Jie spotted Qianqian at a glance and shouted: "Elder Sister!" Seeing this, Qianqian hurried forward and said: "Alright alright, Mantou, let go. I checked Wangchen, he's still breathing, don't panic."

Only then did Yan Jie breathe a sigh of relief; released by Mantou, he gulped down big breaths, then walked unsteadily toward the bedside.

He extended his hand, gently placing it on Wangchen's wrist, feeling the pulse. Qianqian stood to the side, frantic with worry, but she knew a doctor needed quiet when examining a patient, so she forced herself not to urge him on.

Time passed second by second; finally, after a good while, Yan Jie slowly released Wangchen's hand, brows slightly furrowed.

"Elder Sister," Yan Jie's voice was somewhat low, "Wangchen's head has suffered trauma again. Before, his amnesia was due to blood stasis in the brain; these past years the stasis has been slowly absorbing, yet he still couldn't recall anything."

Qianqian's heart tightened. She had thought Wangchen merely had a relapse of an old injury, never expecting the situation to be even more severe than she imagined. Yet Yan Jie's next words left her even more baffled.

"Have you ever considered a question,"

Yan Jie suddenly changed tack, "He might not truly be unable to remember, but simply unwilling to tell you."

Hearing this, an inexplicable unease surged in Qianqian's heart. She didn't understand why Yan Jie would suddenly say this; what did it have to do with Wangchen fainting?

Still, she suppressed her inner doubts and asked with concern: "Then how exactly did he faint?"

Yan Jie spoke slowly: "The blood stasis in his brain has mostly absorbed, but some residue remains. However, just now he suffered some external stimulation that caused the stasis to disperse in an instant.

Due to this sudden development, his body may temporarily be unable to withstand such a violent change, hence he fainted. However, judging from the current situation, when he wakes again, although he may feel some pain, he should be able to recover all his memories.

Barring accidents, he will wake soon. And there is no need to give him any medicine."

Hearing this, Qianqian nodded lightly, indicating she understood. Immediately after, she turned her gaze to Hua Hua and asked with concern: "Then how exactly was Wangchen injured?"

Only then did Hua Hua snap back to reality, realizing that because Master was too anxious, she had actually forgotten to relate this crucial detail.

So she hurriedly explained: "Wangchen was originally on a tree outside keeping watch. I had a sudden whim to scare him, so I crept up behind him and lightly patted him.

Who knew, from that one pat his foot slipped and he fell straight down from the tree. Actually, with his martial arts he absolutely wouldn't have fallen.

But seeing him fall, I panicked and reached out to grab him. Turns out he's far too heavy; not only could I not pull him up, I fell down with him. Fortunately my belt caught on a branch, so I didn't fall all the way.

Just as I breathed a sigh of relief, suddenly a 'crack' — the tree branch snapped! Unprepared, we both plummeted straight down.

In a split second, I reacted swiftly, employing all my skill, using lightness art to land steadily as lightly as a flying swallow.

However, just as I rejoiced at my safety, I caught sight of where Wangchen would land — Daji was leisurely basking in the sun under the tree!

If Wangchen used lightness art to land he would inevitably crush Daji; at this critical moment, Wangchen displayed astonishing reaction speed and agility.

Only to see him execute a beautiful mid-air twist, forcibly changing his body's direction and falling to the side. Result: head first, 'bang' — he slammed heavily onto the ground.

Hearing her account, Qianqian was speechless. These two unreliable things — they're her hidden guards?

She muttered inwardly: "How did I end up with such subordinates!" But the deed was done; she could only sigh helplessly and say to Yan Jie: "Alright, Jie'er, thanks for the trouble of running this trip."

Yan Jie hastily waved his hand: "No trouble, Elder Sister, this is what I should do. Since there's nothing more for me, I'll take my leave." With that, he nodded to Qianqian and left Qianji Yuan.

Watching Yan Jie's departing figure, Hua Hua felt a pang of guilt; she lowered her head, face full of remorse, and said to Qianqian: "Master, it's all my fault, causing such a big mess. Why don't... let me take care of him."

Seeing Hua Hua's self-reproachful look, Qianqian's slight displeasure gradually dissipated.

She waved her hand reassuringly: "Can't blame it all on you; if Daji hadn't been right under the tree, it wouldn't have come to this. Just his bad luck, destined to suffer this tribulation. Alright, no more self-blame, go to the study and handle official business."

Hearing Qianqian's words, Hua Hua felt a little better. She gave Qianqian a grateful look, then flashed into the study and began handling Qianqian's official business.
