Chapter 571 Cover Up
He added, “Hasn’t Karina been using ‘World–Enchanting Beauty‘ recently? It’s natural for her skin to have become even more radiant.”
“Is that really the case?”
With a hint of ambiguity, Caylie blinked and said, “Don’t forget, I am a practitioner of traditional medicine.”
Traditional medicine emphasizes observation, listening, inquiry, and pulse diagnosis.
Observation includes examining spirit, color, form, and posture.
Karina’s complexion was naturally good to begin with. The change in her glow referred to the transformation of her vitality and spirit. It was an internal transformation and not the effect of the face mask.
Moreover, Emrys‘ apparent nervousness from earlier was a sign of guilt.
One manifestation of a guilty conscience is a trembling hand.
Another sign of guilt is his change in terminology. He had been jokingly referring to Karina as “wifey.” However, when he was trying to explain earlier, he referred to her by her
name.
He was trying too hard to cover up, which only made things seem more suspicious.
Caylie was quite perceptive, although the other girls often teased her for being naive. Through Emrys’s behavior, she immediately guessed that something must have happened between him and Karina.
Suddenly, her emotions became incredibly complex.
In the past, the girls often joked about who would be the first to marry Emrys. However, no one expected that Karina, the most innocent of them all, would be the first to make a substantial breakthrough with him.
Caylie’s heart was filled with mixed feelings.
Upon seeing her knowing expression, Emrys muttered, “Is it that obvious? It seems I should continue to behave like a pervert in the future. If Delia finds out, I wonder what her reaction will be.”

Despite Cordelia’s aloof demeanor, Emrys knew very well that she was the one most prone to jealousy.
In the past, whenever Yelena kissed him, she would assertively demand to plant another one on his other cheek. If she ever found out about his involvement with Karina, Emrys couldn’t imagine the consequences.
He guessed that Cordelia would probably explode.
“Caylie, you must keep this a secret for me!”
Emrys knew he could no longer deceive Caylie, so he admitted it and asked her to keep the secret for him and Karina.
Caylie smiled understandingly and said, “Well, everyone will know about this sooner or later. I don’t feel like talking too much. You decide for yourself.”
Despite this, she couldn’t help but hum inwardly. You guys hid the fact that Emrys is the Empyrean Lord for so long. Now, it’s time to taste your own medicine.
Touched, Emrys said, “Caylie, you truly are a saint. Your kindness warms my heart.”
“Enough with the chatter. Aren’t you done yet? Hurry up and pull it out.”
“All right, just two more strokes, and it’ll be out soon. Just bear with it a little longer.”
Emrys channeled his life energy into Caylie’s body, aiding her in unblocking her meridians. Afterward, he removed the acupuncture needle. All that was left was for Caylie to condense her life energy.
As expected, less than two hours later, Caylie had successfully condensed her life energy. Her talent for cultivation was as astonishing as Emrys‘ other sisters.
Emrys had already grown accustomed to it.
However, the next moment, he suddenly heard Caylie cry out in pain. Beads of sweat appeared on her forehead.
“What’s wrong, Caylie?”
Emrys was greatly surprised.
This situation had never occurred with Cordelia and Yelena.
