Drunken Lotus: Fated With The Rogue Hidden Dragon.

Motives and Speculations (4th)

Despite his reluctance, Fan Hui Zhong still got permission to inspect the corpses of the assassins early the next day.

It was just after Fan Zhu Xia ate breakfast when he came to her courtyard to inform her that the corpses was stored in one of the underground cellars that she requested to be built nearby a large courtyard that Fan Hui Zhong had constructed to serve as her very own personal clinic, complete with a spacious reception room where she can receive guests as well as five well-ventilated rooms containing four beds per room that was large enough for each person to rest yet doesn't take a lot of space.

Aside from these rooms, a medicine room was also carefully arranged with all the things, herbs that ranged from ordinary to uncommon and storage she might need, along with ample space so that she can concoct pills and medicine in peace, as well as another room that she calls the treatment room which she personally furnished with things she had brought with her when she was left Mystic Terra Mountain to explore outside her clan's territory.

The furnishings included a rather tall, make-shift jade table that was long in length yet narrow in width which if one looked closely will be enough for a fully grown adult man to lie on. In this particular room, aside from the eye-catching table that was constructed using a precious jade called Lifeblood Jade which has the property of providing energy and strengthening vitality to those in contact with it which stems from the fact that this particular type of jade refines energies it gains via absorbing blood and the higher the cultivation of the blood owner, the more the jade improves so despite it's pristine, white appearance which made it seem holy, most people had unfavorable opinions on it due to how this jade's quality is cultivated despite it's effects.

Other than the jade table, there was another smaller table of the same height made out of high-quality wood just beside it which had a couple of hooks built-in on one side, three large luminous night pearls were embedded on the middle of the ceiling, just above the table, illuminating the room brightly along with the mounted lamps on each wall. In this room, there was a wall that served as a washing area where there are basins and soaps as well as a seal that served as a water source as well as a seal that ensured that the room will not be flooded. On another wall was a large shelf as well as cabinets containing unique instruments and other medicinal supplies such as strips of cloth for bandages, threads and needles of varying lengths, woven medicinal herbs like the one Fan Zhu Xia used on Fan Shi Hong when they first met.

The placement of the corpses near the courtyard was particularly useful, especially since there is also a tunnel from the cellars leading inside a small study inside the courtyard aside from the entrance from outside which made it easier to transport a corpse to and fro the cellar and the treatment room where she is right now.

Going to one of the large cabinets in the room, Fan Zhu Xia opened it to reveal several tools and medical instruments inside. At first glance, one would see that at eye level, there were several types of blades mounted inside, from a short saw to a longer, more thicker one, to an assortment of other large knives that one would typically think to see in a butcher shop which would make people's blood run cold if they see this inside an infirmary yet despite this, Fan Zhu Xia still had it here but for now she ignored it's existence. Instead, she reached out and opened one of the drawers inside to pull out a roll of leather and another of cloth, both of which were obviously wrapped around multiple things.

After getting these two, Fan Zhu Xia went back to stand near the jade table and started laying out the tools she took onto the smaller table.

As she brought them out, small, thin knives of varying sizes and lengths were taken from the roll of leather while another set of silver needles of different lengths came from the pouch.
