Chapter 543

Eight days had passed since they arrived at Eastern Star Mountain. Before

they went back to the city, Emmanuel wanted to spend some time going

through the books his master gave him. If he didn’t do that before he went

back, he might miss out on the recipe and skills needed to save Claudette,

and he would have to make another trip here.

Sargh and Eve discussed how they would guard the village. In the end, they

decided that Sarah would pay for the Sky Wolf Society (SWS) to guard North

Star Village.

Two days of researching the books finally gave Emmanuel what he needed.

the way to save Claudette. This book was titled Divine Valley Medical

Records. Unlike ‘The Progenitor’s Healing Arts‘, ‘Nine Needles of the Spirit‘, ‘Six

Needles of the Dragon‘, and books of its sort that taught acupuncture in

detail, this book was just a medical journal of all Divine Valley master’s

journeys, including but not limited to all the rare and weird illnesses they

encountered and dealt with. There were tens of thousands of case studies

here.

Claudette’s illness was caused by great physical trauma and a short shock,

damaging her brain to the point of no return. Well, for the mortal world, she

was beyond rescue, especially for practitioners of modern medicine. They

thought brain cells, like cardiac muscle cells, could not regenerate.

T

That was not entirely true. This journal had the details of a certain

acupuncture skill that could stimulate brain cell regeneration, waking the

patient from a deep slumber. Of course, the patient would have to get their

whole body healed first before the brain healing could take place. Given the

power of Claudette’s family, that should be no problem.

The moment Emmanuel came out of his room, an excited Sarah approached

him and held his hand. “You’re finally out.” After coming into close contact so

much during their climb and descent of the mountains, she didn’t even feel

awkward holding his hands.

“What’s wrong?” Emmanuel could see that she had been waiting for him.

“Um, Eve wanted to hear your decision. She won’t do anything before you call

the shots.” Sarah then told him what she and Eve had talked about. Eve then

said Emmanuel had the final call. If he allowed it, then the SWS, would guard

the village.

Emmanuel knew this would happen. Honestly, he really didn’t want to guard

the village for those people, but he had a feeling there was a big secret

hiding in the mountains, and his mentor was involved in this.

With Sarah’s terms in place, they were not Dicky’s lackeys but partners.

Emmanuel could accept that, it would make things easier for him should he

want to replace his mentor or get some herbs. More importantly, they could get

thirty good herbs every year.

“Sure, we can have them guard this place,” said Emmanuel. “But on one

condition.”

“Of course, Emmanuel. Anything you say.” Sarah looked ready to go with

anything Emmanuel had to say.

“Whatever happened here, stays here, okay?” asked Emmanuel.

“Why?” Sarah was puzzled. “Mom objects to your relationship with Mackenzie

because she thinks you’re a commoner. If they know you’re a guy with this

much power, nobody’s going to object to it.”

Emmanuel smiled drily. “Just keep it a secret. Can you do that?” If his identity

was revealed, then that menace in Zovince would be on guard against him.

In the future, if Emmanuel tried to come up with a plan against him, he would

replace out about his true goal.

“Okay then,” said Sarah, then she extended her pinky.

Emmanuel wondered what that meant, and then Sarah held his pinky.

Cheekily, she said, “Pinky promise. No breaking it now, or you’ll be cursed.”

Emmanuel chuckled for some reason. Sarah was really easy to get along
