Finally, after a whole two minutes, Darryl smiled and said to Jackie, “If I’m correct, you were harmed by a grand weapon, and it injured your pulse.”
As he spoke, Darryl intentionally looked like he was deep in thought as he continued to talk, “The grand weapon that harmed you had a strong killing aura. Let me guess, it should be Lu Bu’s Heavenly Halberd?”
Jackie’s heart trembled as he looked at Darryl curiously. He was stunned and could not speak.
‘This person’s medical technique is so powerful to this extent. Not only can he tell accurately what my injury is, he can even guess the weapon that harmed me. How incredible.’
Jasmine’s body trembled as she looked at Darryl; her eyes were shining with amazement and respect.
‘My judgement of him was correct. Mister Derby is like a healer from heaven. No one told him about how Jackie was injured, but he guessed accurately by just observing.’
Snowy and the rest of the disciples were all in shock as they looked at Darryl with admiration.
“Mister Derby’s medical skill was incredible.”
“That’s right, he knew it by just looking at it.”
“How incredible…”
Darryl looked arrogant while he saw how shocked they looked, but he was laughing secretly to himself.
‘Jackie and Snowy are so interesting. I just said a few words and they are all amazed. I am the one who caused Jackie’s injury; how could I guess wrongly?’
Finally, Jackie reacted and complemented Darryl, “Mister Derby is really great. You guessed correctly; that is impressive. I was injured by the Heavenly Halberd. May I know Mister, is there any cure that can speed up my recovery?”
As he said that, Jackie sounded respectful and polite. His arrogance earlier was all gone.
“A medicated bath, just like how it sounds, will eliminate the injury.” Darryl looked around before his gaze finally landed on Jackie. “Get someone to prepare a wooden pail and then put in a few herbs, and medication following my instructions. You shall soak in it for an hour and that should relieve your injury substantially.”
Darryl continued to think, then continued to say, “However, you need to apply the medication in the right sequence. It also requires a special method to activate the energy to cure the injury. As such, I will need to be around.”
He looked serious, but on the inside, he was smiling.
The truth was, Darryl had many ways to speed up Jackie’s recovery, but Darryl did not want that. Jackie was deviant, so how could he cure him so easily?
Darryl still did not know that although Jackie looked like a beautiful and smart man on the surface, he was indeed a woman inside. The truth was when she set up the Sun Set Sect with Jasmine, Jackie was still dressing as a woman. However, she dressed as a male on occasion, and went through an unusual incident, and became the Illusional Sound Sect Sect Master. That was when Jackie started to dress as a man.
She did this as the Illusion Sound Sect rules clearly stated that a woman cannot be a Sect Master. As such, Jackie dressed like a man to keep her position. She would have lost her position if anyone found out she was a woman.
“Other than a medicated bath, there is still one other way.” Darryl scratched his head and said, “However all these other solutions are similar to the one Elder Gen mentioned and will take a longer time.It requires at least ten days for recovery. The medicated bath is the fastest way.”
At that time, Darryl still did not notice Jackie was a woman. The reason he insisted on saying that was so that he could use the opportunity to escape when Jackie was in the medicated bath.
When she heard that, Jackie moaned deeply. She hesitated but still nodded her head in the end. “Alright then.”
Jackie looked straight at Darryl and said without a doubt, “However, before the medicated bath begins, Mister Darryl will need to be blindfolded.”
Her voice was not loud, but she was firm without a doubt.
‘How can I let my pure female body be seen by a man?’
