Martial Artist Wu was frightened by yesterday's "ghost" and even developed a high fever in the middle of the night.
Ordinarily, a martial master's illness wouldn't alarm the entire Tian Family, but it did get Tian Fu's attention.
Yu An wandered around the Tian Family estate during the day and overheard some servants gossiping. They said Tian Fu treated Martial Artist Wu exceptionally well—so well, in fact, that he had stayed by his bedside all through the previous night.
One of them gossiped, "If you ask me, there must be some kind of secret between Young Master Tian Fu and Martial Artist Wu. Why else would he treat him better than his own father?"
His companion retorted, "Martial Artist Wu saved Young Master Tian Fu's life. What's wrong with personally attending to his life-saving mentor when he's sick? You're all reading too much into it."
"Keep your voice down! If the masters hear us, we'll be in for it!"
