After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 17 Mystic Techniques

Seeing Xiao Beiming's excited expression, Luo Chujiu finally couldn't help but burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, I was just teasing you, Your Highness. I won't do anything to you before we're married, so don't worry."

Luo Chujiu also got out of bed, then patted Xiao Beiming on the shoulder, signaling him to relax.

Although she was attracted to Xiao Beiming's good looks, Xiao Beiming's current physical condition wasn't very good.

We must get his illness cured no matter what.

Xiao Beiming looked at Luo Chujiu with a helpless expression and sat down on the soft couch with her.

"Why did you suddenly come to the Prince's residence?"

"Of course, I sensed that something was wrong with you, so I came to 'save the damsel in distress'."

Looking at Xiao Beiming's stunningly beautiful face, Luo Chujiu thought it was so beautiful that it was almost pitiful to look at. It was no exaggeration to describe him as a beauty.

"Then how did you know that I was in trouble?"

Before Xiao Beiming fainted, he coughed up blood. Blood rushed into his brain, and he collapsed. He thought he wouldn't be discovered by Nan Ke until the next day.

"Have you forgotten the love mark I left on your palm? Did you think it was just a simple mark?"

As she spoke, Luo Chujiu stretched out her palm to show him the jumping mark.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Beiming unconsciously stretched out his palm and saw that his mark was the same as Luo Chujiu's, also flickering and unclear.

"This mark has this effect? ​​So if something happens to you, I'll be able to sense it too?"

“Me? I’ll be fine. But you are. You’re frail and sickly. I thought the treatment I gave you last time would help for a while, but it’s only been two days and you’ve already fallen ill again.”

Luo Chujiu was very distressed, seemingly thinking about how to cure Xiao Beiming's problem.

"This is a deficiency I was born with; it's incurable, at most it can only be alleviated. Thank you for your concern."

Xiao Beiming almost thought he had become a normal person again, but who would have thought it would only last for two days.

"Who told you this is a deficiency? You were clearly put under a mystical spell that suppressed your health. Otherwise, why do you think my mystical arts could cure you? Mystical arts are not medicine; they can't cure all diseases."

Luo Chujiu felt that Xiao Beiming seemed to have some misunderstanding about his condition. He didn't have a deficiency disease; he was obviously being ambushed without his knowledge.

Xiao Beiming was shocked and incredulous upon hearing Luo Chujiu's words:
"How could that be? I have never encountered anyone skilled in mystical arts."

"Are you questioning me? Otherwise, why do you think your condition keeps recurring and the doctors are helpless? Because this isn't even an illness, honey—"

Xiao Beiming was speechless for a moment, and began to wonder if he had lost some fragments of his memory, why he had no recollection of it at all.

However, Luo Chujiu was right about one thing: all the doctors were helpless with his condition. They couldn't find out what was wrong, but he was just weak and would vomit blood frequently. No amount of recuperation could help.

However, after meeting Luo Chujiu and being treated by her, he has been lively and energetic for the past two days and has not vomited blood.

"How long can this last?"

If possible, Xiao Beiming hoped to maintain this for a longer period of time.

"This time I've infused my blood into your bones, which should last at least a month, but it still won't cure you completely. If you want to completely resolve this problem, you must find the person who cast the mystical spell on you, otherwise you'll be stuck like this for the rest of your life."

Luo Chujiu also wanted Xiao Beiming to fully recover, but Xuanshu (mystical arts) is different from other spells, and it is very particular about cause and effect.

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming was already quite satisfied.

"Even a month is fine, thank you." "There's no need for thanks between husband and wife. I was just saving my future husband."

Luo Chujiu gave Xiao Beiming a bright and innocent smile, which Xiao Beiming found hard to resist.

This person is so straightforward and passionate, how should he deal with him?

"It's getting late. Would you like to stay at the Prince's residence for the night?"

It was the middle of the night, and he was worried about leaving a young woman alone; it wasn't safe for her.

"No need, I have to rush back to the Luo residence. If Feiyun finds I'm not in her room the next day, she'll probably be worried."

"Then I'll give it to you—"

"Don't bother with all that. Just have your steward escort me to the gate of the Luo residence. I'll handle the rest myself."

After saying that, Luo Chujiu was about to leave, but Xiao Beiming called her back.

"I heard that Luo Wanping plans to hold a homecoming banquet for you in half a month and wants to find you a husband."

Upon hearing Xiao Beiming's words, Luo Chujiu stopped and turned to look at him:

"how do you know?"

“After the morning court session this day, your father has already extended invitations to many colleagues, and the dates have been set. Naturally, I am among them.”

Seeing Luo Chujiu's expression, Xiao Beiming knew she was being kept in the dark.

Soon, Luo Chujiu realized something. Perhaps, the best time to sever ties would be at that moment, leaving them no room to back out.

In this way, he had already accomplished half of his goal of going down the mountain.

Seeing Luo Chujiu's confident demeanor, Xiao Beiming didn't say anything more. He had already given her the reminders he needed to give, and now it was up to her to decide what to do.

Luo Chujiu stepped out of the room and saw Nan Ke standing upright outside. Upon seeing her come out, Nan Ke immediately went up to her eagerly.

"Miss Luo, would you like to stay at the manor for the night? A room has been prepared for you."

Including this time, Miss Luo has treated the prince twice now; she is the prince's savior!
"No need. You escort me back to the Luo residence. Also, nothing happened between me and your prince just now. I only took off his shirt to treat his illness. Your prince is still innocent, so don't misunderstand."

Luo Chujiu glanced at Nan Ke indifferently and then explained the misunderstanding from earlier.

Upon hearing her explanation, a flash of disappointment crossed Nan Ke's eyes.

How could Your Highness be like this? You didn't even seize such a good opportunity.
Luo Chujiu frowned. What was Nan Ke thinking?
"Don't just stand there, take me back."

"Yes, yes, I will escort Miss Luo back to her residence right away."

Soon, Nan Ke prepared a carriage and took Luo Chujiu to the gate of the Luo residence.

After Luo Chujiu got off the carriage, he was about to ask her how to enter the mansion when the gates were already closed.

The next second, he saw Luo Chujiu easily vault over the wall and disappear from his sight.

Nan Ke: The future princess is truly capable! I must tell the prince when I get back!

Luo Chujiu entered and left the Luo residence that night without letting anyone know.

After returning to her residence, Luo Chujiu went to bed to rest and slept soundly until dawn. After all the commotion last night, she hadn't even done her morning exercises and had only focused on sleeping.
