‘Sh*t!’ Darryl was stunned and did not know that Jackie was a woman dressed as a man.
Darryl could not help but grumbled, ‘This Jackie must be crazy to ask me to be blindfolded during the bath. This man has some mental problems or something, or obsessive-compulsive disorder.’
Darryl nodded his head and said, “Fine, no problem!”
‘Even if you have obsessive-compulsive disorder, once you are in the wooden pail, I will find the opportunity to leave.’
Seeing Darryl had agreed, Jackie felt relieved. She raised her hand to order the female disciple beside her to prepare the wooden pail and hot water in the room.
Next, Jackie stood and walked towards the room as Darryl followed behind her.
Jasmine was worried about Jackie’s injury, so she followed behind them and brought Snowy along.
Soon, the wooden pail and hot water were ready. Darryl ordered some people to put in the herbs and medication. Then, they put it in the hot water one by one, following the dosage and sequence he stated.
After doing that, a female disciple brought a black cloth and blindfolded Darryl’s eyes.
At that instant, all Darryl could see was complete darkness. However, he was not worried. He took a deep breath discreetly and said to Jackie, “Elder Master, you may enter the water now. After you are fully soaked, I shall tell you how to activate your energy to regulate the internal energy in your body.”
As he spoke, he said to Jasmine, who was by the door, “Sect Master, Elder Gen, this medicated bath method is a secret technique from my family. As such, you all should leave.”
“Alright, we will guard at the door.” Jasmine could only nod and led Snowy with the rest of the female disciples out of the room and closed the door.
Many family techniques were not shared with outsiders, especially for medical knowledge. Jasmine understood that well in her heart.
At that moment, Jasmine still did not know what Darryl said was just intended to make them leave.
At an instant, Darryl and Jackie were the only ones left in the room with the boiling water.
