Chapter 869
He was so wrapped up in trying to decipher the painting that he'd only just realized he was indeed hungry.
Before he could stand and get a bowl for himself, hurriedly took it away from him.” Your injuries are still healing. Just let me feed you.”
“It's fine. Give it to me. I'll eat with my own hands.” James tried to refuse her offer.
He felt uncomfortable being fed by a woman whom he had only met a few times.
Maxine did not insist and handed the bowl over to James.
Albeit his severe injuries. James was still able to perform simple hand movements.
As James dug into his meal, Maxine turned to look at the Moonlit Flowers by Cliffside’s Edge. She was raised as a Caden for as long as she remembered and received Tobias’ personal instruction in martial arts. Even so. despite cultivating True Energy and becoming a grandmaster of the second rank, she had never seen the household's treasure scroll.
After staring at the painting for quite a while, she too could not find anything peculiar about it. Turning back to James, she asked, “James, have you found anything weird about the painting?"
James shook his head dejectedly.
Looking at the ancient scroll that James had taken out, Maxine told him, “Grandpa said that I'm allowed to have a look at the items inside the box and at the Moonlit Flowers by Cliffside’s Edge.”
“Mhm."
James handed the ancient scroll over to Maxine.
Since she was also a martial artist, she knew this was a meridian diagram the moment she laid her eyes on it.
She tried shifting her True Energy as instructed by the diagram.
“Huurk!"
The moment she summoned her True Energy, she immediately vomited a mouthful of blood. Her body was drenched in her own sweat, her face lost its color and she collapsed on the floor. Almost immediately, she righted herself and sat in a lotus position.
She directed all her True Energy into suppressing the Blood Energy which had gone rampant in her body.
James looked at her and asked in a concerned voice, “What's wrong?”
Maxine took a deep breath before she spoke shakily, “I tried moving my True Energy in the direction instructed by the diagram.
However, the retrograde motion of True Energy shocked the meridians, which caused my Blood Energy to go berserk. I almost lost control over it.”
As James had no True Energy at the moment, he had yet to try it out. However, he knew that something was wrong with the diagram.
