The moment Harper raised her hand to knock on the door, it immediately opened. When Mathias saw her, he directly knelt on the ground, as if he had seen his savior.
"Lady Harper, my master... is dying!"
Astonished with the sudden news, Harper quickly went inside. She was certain that she had left enough medicine for Felton before she departed from the imperial capital. So she couldn't understand why he would unexpectedly be on the verge of dying.
As soon as she entered Felton's bedroom, she saw that he was spitting out blood. A tight frown appeared on her face while she immediately helped him sit up. Sitting behind him, she put her hands on his back to infuse her spiritual power into his body.
Harper immediately noticed that Felton was extremely weak, even much weaker than before. She couldn't help but worry about him. When she finally succeeded in bringing him to a stable condition, she stopped infusing her spiritual power and made him lie on the bed again.
"I'm sorry to have worried you," Felton softly said. Even though he had spit out blood a few minutes ago, he still pretended as if nothing had happened.
"You used your spiritual power! Do you want to die?" Harper asked, a little enraged with the situation.
A wry smile formed on his lips. "I'm sorry. I just..."
"Lady Harper, Master received the news that you entered the Labyrinth Swamp. He was so worried and anxious that he instantly used his spiritual power for divination—"
"Mathias!" Felton exclaimed, interrupting Mathias before he could say anything more. He had made a promise to Harper that he wouldn't use his spiritual power for divination unless it was absolutely necessary. Since he had broken that promise, he actually knew that he should take the consequences.
"Never use it again! For the time being, your body can't bear the side effects which is caused by the spiritual power," Harper stated with conviction.
Felton nodded his head and asked, "Have you found anything from your trip to the South Kingdom?"
"Yes, I found a solution. Perhaps, the rest of the Qin Clan could be saved. But I can't tell you yet if it works or not unless I give it a try," Harper firmly said.
"What solution? Is it dangerous?" Felton anxiously asked. If there was any risk, he would dissuade Harper from trying it. Now that she was the only direct descendant of the Qin Clan who was still alive, she couldn't endanger herself.
"There is a Death Pool in the ancient dwelling of the Qin Clan. If we are baptized in the Death Pool, our bodies can be refined and our marrows can be cleaned. After the baptism, our bodies will be able to bear the side effects caused by our spiritual power. That's why you must hold on, at least for a little bit longer. Now that I'm so close to a solution, you can't give up," Harper said with so much concern while staring at Felton.
