Chapter: 5564
"As she was speaking, Wan'er added: 'And for the past two days, I've taken quite a few painkillers, but they didn't have much effect. When I went home, I even fainted at home...'"
"Mr. Ye's heart was shocked when he heard this, and he also hadn't thought that his last powerful psychological suggestion would bring such severe consequences to Wan'er."
"Wan'er's heart was secretly plotting: 'If I don't tell him, he'll probably never know how much suffering he caused me, I hope his conscience will be troubled by this!'"
"At this moment, Mr. Ye felt guilty in his heart and thought about it: 'It's really not easy for someone like Wan'er to go through so much suffering at the age of 17...'"
"So he didn't hesitate for long and said to Lin Wan'er, 'Little Wan'er, let me take your pulse first.'"
"Okay..." Lin Wan'er agreed, but then thought about taking a pulse, which would inevitably involve physical contact, and felt some shyness in her heart. She therefore hesitated and asked him, 'Mr. Ye... how do you plan to take my pulse?'"
Mr. Ye didn't think twice and directly moved another chair over, sitting in front of Lin Wan'er, slapped his right leg, and began to speak: 'Come on, put your right hand on my leg.'"
"Ah?" Lin Wan'er subconsciously asked, "Isn't taking a pulse supposed to be done with one's hand on the table...?"
Mr. Ye pointed to the bookshelf behind her and said, 'The table is behind you, that's not convenient. No big deal, I don't make a fuss about taking pulses, just let me get a feel for it, okay?'"
"Alright..." Lin Wan'er knew she couldn't refuse and could only carefully stretch out her hand to put it on Mr. Ye's leg."
She had never been this close to any male before, so as soon as her palm touched Mr. Ye's thigh, her heart began racing, and her face quickly turned pinkish-red."
Mr. Ye didn't pay much attention to these things."
He knew that taking Lin Wan'er's pulse was basically meaningless."
Her headache wasn't caused by illness, but rather by the injury to her spirit, which required direct passage of some spiritual energy to repair the damage done to her brain."
"As soon as Lin Wan'er thought about it, she realized that since she had obtained the "Cursed Ring" from her father's grave, it was proof that even without mastering the Qi, she must have some understanding of what the Qi is.
In other words, someone who has grown up by the sea and seen things they shouldn't have, can easily spot a fake trying to pretend to be something else. And besides, Ye Chen is guessing that Lin Wan'er probably doesn't remember her own self, so if he directly transmits his spiritual energy into her body, it would be like revealing himself.
So Ye Chen thought of a plan: pretending to take her pulse and then giving her half a Blood-Reviving Pill to save her life. After all, this stuff is not worth much to him.
And besides, Ye Chen didn't worry that the Blood-Reviving Pill would expose him, since he was already famous as the "Great Master" in Jinling, and even Claudine had probably mentioned it to Lin Wan'er - what a dignified Great Master, taking out a pill that can cure all ailments!
As for why he only took half a pill instead of a whole one, it's because he wants Lin Wan'er to have some initial understanding - this stuff is good, but he doesn't have many, and he needs to be frugal.
So, he placed his fingers lightly on the pulse point at the wrist, closed his eyes, and felt for a moment before opening his mouth: "Wan'er, from your pulse signs, it looks like you're experiencing water and earth not in harmony, plus exhaustion leading to dizziness. You said your headache started after reporting to duty - I estimate that's because you were exhausted then."
Lin Wan'er heard this and knew Ye Chen was just talking nonsense, so she pretended to be puzzled: "But... Mr. Ye... don't deceive me - I've been in Jinling for a pretty long time now... if it really is due to water and earth not being in harmony, why didn't it happen until now?"
As she spoke, Lin Wan'er added: "And besides, on the day of reporting to duty, I wasn't exhausted at all - Granny's butler escorted me here, accompanying me through various procedures. I even prepared my own bed and did some tidying up. There's no reason for me to be so tired."
Ye Chen knew that Lin Wan'er was questioning him correctly, because she had forgotten her own psychological manipulation from that day, so she must not understand why she suddenly developed a headache."
But, since Ye Chen came to show it to her, he naturally wanted to say something to bother her view and prepare a foundation for himself.
So he said: "Sometimes, when water and earth are not in harmony, it's not immediately apparent. It's an internal accumulation process, storing up enough energy until it bursts out, sometimes choosing the mouth, tongue ulcers will form; sometimes choosing the intestines and digestive system, prolonged diarrhea or constipation may occur; sometimes it will burst out on the skin surface, causing many allergies, itching unbearable, to sum it up, water and earth not in harmony is not as simple as you imagined."
