Chapter 391 Can I Meet Lola Now?
A cold glint flashed through Ellie’s eyes, quickly hidden beneath her usual calm
Raven, unfazed by Ellie’s presence, didn’t spare her a glance. She walked straight to the princess’s bedside and sat down She gently placed her fingers on the princess’s wrist, checking the pulse–just long enough to confirm her earlier diagnosis Then, with a small touch to the spatial ring on her finger, nine silver needles appeared between her fingers
Shhht–shhht–shhh!!
The sound of needles slicing through air echoed.
In the blink of an eye, all nine needles had been precisely inserted into key acupoints across the princess’s chest and abdomen.
Though most of the surrounding doctors weren’t from Vyrdenia, they were all familiar with traditional medicine to some extent–after all, Ethan, the president of the World Medical Conference, was a strong advocate for it.
Seeing Raven’s practiced movements, their awe for her medical skill deepened once again.
But Rupert, unfamiliar with acupuncture techniques, tensed in alarm. No previous doctor had dared pierce the princess’s body with needles–they had all chosen conservative methods out of caution.
He instinctively stepped forward to intervene-
But before he could do so, Ellie, standing nearby, suddenly widened her eyes in shock.
“Nine Meridians Technique?”
Rupert froze mid–step. He immediately pulled back, no longer daring to interrupt.
But Ellie’s gaze turned icy.
“You stole my teacher’s Nine Meridians Technique! How dare you?”
Her mentor was the prized disciple of the legendary Dr. Reed, president of the Medical Conference. He had just developed this exact acupuncture method and had stayed behind to perfect and refine it–foregoing the conference entirely
Ellie never imagined that someone else would be brazen enough to steal it–and show off in public like this!
But Raven didn’t even spare her a glance. Her attention remained fixed on the silver needles and the princess’s condition. To Ellie, that silence was confirmation of guilt. She pulled out her phone at once and sent a message to her mentor, explaining everything.
Moments later, she received a reply: “On my way to the Sunset Empire now.
Seeing the message, Ellie’s gloom lifted instantly. Her heart soared.
This was perfect. She’d been wondering how to restore her shattered reputation–now, fate had handed her the perfect opportunity.
