Frank was bemused even as he strode into the guest room, where Kim was already waiting with LivDawson.

Kim appeared especially ethereal with her long, wavy dark hair and white dress, and she was on herfeet as soon as she saw Frank. "Mr. Lawrence."

"How have you been? Have you made a full recovery?" Frank asked politely in turn.

"Yes, all thanks to you, Mr. Lawrence,” she replied.

"Yeah." Frank nodded, feeling like he had just wasted his breath—he knew Kim's condition betterthan Kim herself would.

Not only did he treat her internal injuries, but he also cleared up his meridians so that she would betwice more efficient in cultivation.

Aria, who entered the guest room as well, glanced at Frank in surprise, not expecting him to knowmedicine.

Still, her attention was quickly drawn to Kim's guileless divine beauty.

Though Kim's poise was affected by her injury before, she had recovered and regained her charmbefitting a goddess.

She would not lose out to Vicky or Helen, and a single glance already left Aria's inferiority complexflaring.

"Please try this tea. I personally grew it and brewed it," Kim said as she served him a cup.

Frank took a sip and could not help exclaiming in praise, "This tea is fantastic!"

Aria was then surprised as Kim served her one as well.

She was hardly well-versed in tea appreciation and simply nodded in approval as Frank did. "It'sgreat.”

"Why wouldn't it be?" Liv suddenly snorted, rolling her eyes. "Ever since Mr. Lawrence left the otherday, our dear Ms. White had been either tending meticulously to her tea or smiling stupidly as shestared blankly into thin air, waiting for your next visit.”

"Stop it, Liv!" Kim blushed as she shot Liv an embarrassed glare.

"Let's put the tea talk aside for now," Frank said, reluctant to let the ladies digress. "I'll be blunt, Ms.White. I've come here today because your father mentioned you have news about the GoldeaterCane."

"Skipping the foreplay already?" Liv snorted sarcastically. "We've asked for you because we're aboutto drop a bombshell on you, or you'd still be lying on your back wondering what hit you.”

Kim threw her a soft jab and snapped, "What are you saying? I just wanted to clear up amisunderstanding...”

"Sure, sure. Like you're perfectly pleased to see him being stolen away. And weren't you so pleasedabout going free after the Yaffes vanished?"

"Sure, sure, I'm so pleased. Now, zip it."

Kim had been preparing meticulously to leave a good impression with Frank, but Liv's persistentjibes to embarrass her left her exasperated.

In the end, Liv still held Frank in contempt since he had neither riches nor influence compared to theYaffes.

Nonetheless, Kim felt the urgentness in Frank's tone.

After some thought, she explained, "My family is not actually involved in medicine, but we were toldyesterday that an elusive dojo started an open recruitment. And the recruit who wins top place inthe recruitment tourney would be awarded the Goldeater Cane."

"An elusive dojo...?" Frank appeared surprised.

Kim nodded. "It's called Silver Spring Dojo, founded on the hills of Southstream. It wasn'tparticularly famous..."

"Oh, so that's the trap that Sage Lake Sect set for me?" Frank chuckled coolly.
