"Ms. Knott, does your CV 17 acupoint often ache?" Sebastian asked.
"How do you know that?" Heather was startled. Her CV 17 acupoint did indeed often throb with a dull pain, and only a few people were aware of it.
"I have some knowledge of medicine. I could tell from your complexion," Sebastian replied.
Heather responded, "Even if you noticed, so what? It's just a minor issue. It's nothing serious."
Sebastian shook his head. "Ms. Knott, you've developed a complication in your training. If you continue like this, your internal energy pathways will eventually shatter, and it will be fatal."
"How dare you curse me!" Heather's anger flared, and a terrifying killing intent radiated from her.
"You insolent brat! How dare you disrespect Ms. Knott? You must have a death wish!" Oliver exclaimed. "Ms. Knott, just give the word. We'll take him down immediately!"
Heather was about to give the order when she heard Sebastian say, "Ms. Knott, you can test it out. Press your LU 2 acupoint with your finger, and you'll see if I'm telling the truth."
"Don't listen to his nonsense, Ms. Knott. Let's just kill him and be done with it," Oliver suggested.
Heather raised her hand to silence him as she glared at Sebastian coldly. "I'll press it and see. If you're lying, you won't get away with this!"
She then pressed her LU 2 acupoint with her finger. Immediately, she let out a sharp cry and began coughing violently.
"Ms. Knott, what's wrong?"
Oliver and the others were horrified. They were responsible for Heather's safety. If anything happened to her, the city lord's wrath would be more than they could handle.
Heather crouched down. Her forehead was covered in beads of sweat, and she was unable to speak from the pain.
Sebastian quickly stepped forward and reached her side, then placed two fingers on her GB 21 acupoint. "You're courting death!"
When Oliver and the others saw that Sebastian had touched Heather, they immediately flew into a rage. "Stop!" Just as a few of them were about to strike to kill Sebastian, Heather raised her hand to stop them.
Sebastian withdrew his fingers. Heather then stood up and let out a long sigh of relief, her face still showing signs of lingering fear.
"What exactly is wrong with me?" Heather asked.
Sebastian replied, "As I've mentioned earlier, there's a problem with your cultivation. If I'm not mistaken, you've been consuming a lot of pills to forcefully break through."
"That's right. But how did you know?" Heather was taken aback once again. She had never shared this with anyone. "I could tell from your complexion," Sebastian answered.Belongs to (N)ôvel/Drama.Org.
Heather was surprised. "I didn't expect a commoner like you to have such skills. So, what should I do about my condition?"
"I can help with a massage and then prescribe some medicine. Take it for a few days, and you'll recover," Sebastian said.
"Then, why are you still standing there? Hurry up! Give me the massage and then write the prescription!" Heather said impatiently.
She was genuinely scared. In fact, she had already consulted many doctors and even some alchemists for
treatment. She had taken plenty of medicines and pills, but not only did they fail to cure her, the pain in her CV 17 acupoint had become more frequent and more intense.
The main reason she had participated in the Netherworld Sect's assessment was to seek help from their chief alchemist.
However, the Netherworld Sect's chief alchemist had a peculiar temperament and had never left the sect or treated outsiders.
Even as the city lord's daughter, she couldn't change this, so she had no choice but to join the Netherworld Sect. Sebastian said, "This place isn't suitable for the treatment. It requires a full-body massage, which means you'll need to remove all your clothing."
"What did you just say?" Heather immediately became furious.
Oliver's killing intent surged. "You little scoundrel, you're courting death! Ms. Knott is of noble status. How dare you suggest that she disrobe in front of a lowly commoner like you?"
