The Mighty Mage novel Chapter 101

Chapter 101: Chapter 101: Bitter Truth?

Gu Jin ignored Long Yifan’s outburst and focused on the task at hand.

With precise movements, she inserted the needles into specific acupuncture points on the girl’s body, her expression serious.

The head butler stepped forward, his concern evident in his voice.

"Miss Gu, please stop this. You don’t know what you’re doing."

But Gu Jin didn’t falter. She continued her treatment, her hands steady and sure.

As she worked, a faint glow emanated from the needles, casting a soft light in the dim room.

Long Yifan watched in disbelief as Gu Jin worked with unwavering confidence.

Despite his initial skepticism, he couldn’t help but feel a glimmer of hope stirring within him.

Could it be possible? Could this young girl really possess the ability to cure his sister?

As Gu Jin finished the treatment, she stepped back from the bed.

The girl lay still, her breathing steady, her complexion appearing slightly more relaxed than before.

Long Yifan approached cautiously, his eyes fixed on his sister’s face.

He reached out a trembling hand and placed it on her forehead, feeling for any change in her condition.

To his astonishment, he felt a subtle warmth beneath his touch. It was as if a spark of life had been reignited within his sister’s body.

No one knew that his sister’s body was always cold since she was cursed. It was as if she would die anytime.

But now...

Long Yifan’s heart pounded with a mixture of disbelief and hope.

Could it be possible that Gu Jin had actually managed to make a difference?

He turned to Gu Jin, his expression unreadable. "What did you do?"

Gu Jin met his gaze steadily,

"I’ve activated her Celestial Qi channels and restored the flow of energy within her body. It’s a temporary solution, but it should alleviate some of her symptoms for now."

The head butler scoffed incredulously.

"Temporary solution? What nonsense are you spouting, Miss Gu? You expect us to believe that you’ve magically cured her?"

What a joke.

His Young Miss didn’t even retain her consciousness. Only her complexion improved, and 200 people out of 725 hired by Long Yifan can do it.

When the butler had seen a faint glow emitted by the needles he thought that maybe Gu Jin might have made a difference.

However now seeing the unresponsive Young Miss, his hope was dashed.

Long Yifan looked at his sister and the head butler’s words reminded him that other than his sister’s improved complexion, nothing had been improved.

The anger which he had suppressed was rising with each minute passing.

However, he didn’t harm Gu Jin or scold her. Maybe she was only helping and didn’t have any bad intentions.

Right! She was doing her best but that doesn’t mean that her sister will be cured.

The truth was bitter but what Long Yifan didn’t experience?

He turned toward Gu Jin and said,

"Since you are in good health I will ask my servant to drop you to your home."

Gu Jin remained silent and counted the seconds in her mind.

In fact, she was shocked when she realized that her diagnosis was wrong.

However for some reason that was the diagnosis that came to her mind when she checked Long Yifan’s sister’s pulse.

Strangely enough, she knows the disease’s name and the way to cure it. What surprised her more was how accustomed she was to doing acupuncture.

It was as if this knowledge was hidden in her mind, somewhere and the disease was triggering the information in her mind.

"Butler go and inform the driver to drop Miss Gu at the Magic School Academy." Long Yifan’s emotionless voice made Gu Jin come out of her thoughts.

Without a word, she checked the time, then bypassed Long Yifan and took out the needles.

Long Yifan didn’t stop Gu Jin since he thought that she was finally following his commands.

"Uhhh...." The girl who was peacefully lying on the bed a few seconds before groaned.

The head butler was concerned.

Long Yifan was worried too and when he turned his head to look at his sister, his heart skipped a beat.

The girl opened her eyes, and a hint of intelligence and confusion now replaced the blank emotions that were previously visible in her eyes.

She looked around the room and finally, when her eyes met with Long Yifan’s eyes she softly called out,

"Yif...Yifan?"

The head butler’s breath hitched. And Long Yifan’s entire body trembled.

He slowly made his way toward his sister and called in uncertainty,

"Si..Sister?"

The girl blinked and asked in a low voice,

"What--What--is going on?"
