She had grown up so much, and until now, she had never experienced such close contact with any man. The moment the back of her hand brushed against Charlie’s thigh, her heart raced, and her cheeks flushed a bright red.


    Charlie, however, was unfazed by her reaction.


    Deep down, he understood that checking Lin Wan’er (ni)’s pulse was essentially pointless.


    Her headache wasn’t due to any illness; rather, it was a result of her own spiritual energy being mismanaged. The most effective remedy would be to directly infuse her with spiritual energy to heal the damage in her brain.


    As Charlie pondered this, he realized that Lin Wan’er (ni) had a respectable background. The fact that she possessed a fake ring suggested that, although she might not have control over aura, she was certainly aware of its existence.<h3 style="background-color:DodgerBlue">


    In other words, having grown up near the sea, she was familiar with various things and could easily recognize a phony if presented with one, much like discerning authentic shark fins from imitation.


    Moreover, Charlie spected that Lin Wan’er (ni) likely didn’t remember him. If he were to pour spiritual energy into her without caution, it could reveal too much about himself.


    Thus, Charlie decided to feign a pulse check and then provide her with half of a blood-scattering heart-saving pill. After all, this remedy wasn’t particrly precious to him.


    He wasn’t concerned that the Sanxue Jiuxin Pill would expose his secret. His reputation as Master Wade was well-established in Aurous Hill, and it was probable that udia had mentioned him to Lin Wan’er. So, it would seem perfectly reasonable for the esteemed Master Wade to offer an elixir that could cure all ailments.


    As for why he chose to give only half a pill, it was to help Lin Wan’er (ni) understand that while the remedy was effective, it was also limited in quantity, and she needed to be mindful of its use.


    With that in mind, he ced his fingers gently on Lin Wan’er (ni)’s wrist, closed his eyes to sense her pulse, and then said, “ni, based on your pulse, it appears you are experiencing some distress. You mentioned that your headache began when you started your duties, which indicates you may have been a bit overwhelmed that day.”


    Lin Wan’er (ni) sensed that Charlie was fabricating his diagnosis, so she feigned confusion and replied, “But… Brother Charlie, I must be honest with you. I’ve been in Aurous Hill for quite a while now. If I were really unwell, I shouldn’t have waited until now…”


    She continued, “Additionally, on the day I reported, I wasn’t overworked at all. My grandfather’s housekeeper brought me here and assisted me with all the procedures. When I arrived at the dormitory to set up my bed, I shouldn’t have been so exhausted that I developed a headache…”


    Charlie recognized that Lin Wan’er (ni) was correct in her questioning; logically, she shouldn’t have been experiencing migraines without a clear cause, especially since she didn’t remember any psychological suggestions he might have given her that day.


    Nevertheless, since he was there to provide her with a solution, he needed to say something to mislead her while paving the way for himself.


    So he exined, “Sometimes, the effects of limatization don’t manifest immediately. It can be a gradual buildup of internal energy, which, once umted sufficiently, will erupt selectively. This can manifest as sores in the mouth and on the tongue, digestive issues like diarrhea or constipation, or even skin reactions like hives and itching. It’s a moreplex situation than you might realize.”


    Continuing, Charlie added, “For those of you who have lived abroad for an extended period, there may be a gap in your understanding of traditional Chinese medicine. Its strength lies in peeling awayyers to uncover the true essence of an ailment and addressing it from its root cause rather than merely treating symptoms.”


    udia, listening intently, expressed her surprise, saying, “That sounds incredibly profound…”


    Meanwhile, Lin Wan’er (ni) thought to herself, “How foolish… you can keep up the charade!”<fne1af> This text is hosted at FindN()vel</fne1af>


    Feeling that he had set the stage well, Charlie casually waved his hand and stated, “It’smon for young women who are unfamiliar with Chinese medicine to feel confused, but don’t worry. I have some elixirs here, ni. In certain cases, simply taking them can lead to a cure!”
