Chapter 213: Chapter 0213: Clearing the Meridians

"How do you know?"

This time, Nangong Man Sha could no longer conceal her expression, her face filled with shock as she looked at Chu Ge.

In fact, when Nangong Man Sha was young, the hospital had already declared her constitution as special, claiming it was impossible for her to live past ten years old.

Fortunately, the Old Master from the Nangong Family had some connections with a reclusive sect, which then dispatched an expert to extend Nangong Man Sha’s life.

Even though that person had exhausted his lifetime of knowledge, he only managed to extend her life by fifteen years, allowing her to live only up to the age of twenty-five!

This secret, apart from the Old Master of the Nangong Family and herself, was unknown to anyone else.

"Divine Doctor," Chu Ge broke into a smile, looking at Nangong Man Sha with a hint of playfulness, "Without some extraordinary abilities, how could one succeed?"

At this point, Chu Ge suddenly changed the topic, looking at Nangong Man Sha and saying, "Calculating the time, your destined end must be approaching soon, right?"

"Yes." A bitter expression surfaced on Nangong Man Sha’s face as she nodded and said, "Over the years, my grandfather and I have traveled across the country, but even the most advanced medical equipment cannot detect what exactly is wrong with my body; every result shows that I am perfectly healthy. However, I can feel that my life is slipping away every second!"

Death is not frightening; what’s truly terrifying is the process of waiting for death!

Hearing this, Chu Ge’s gaze towards her carried a bit of admiration, seeing that her demeanor did not at all resemble someone soon facing death.

"What if I say, I can cure your incurable disease?" After remaining silent for a dozen seconds, Chu Ge suddenly spoke.

"What?" Nangong Man Sha was startled, but soon she bitterly smiled and waved her hand, "Let’s not bother. Mr. Chu indeed has divine medical skills, but the expert back then said that my condition has even surpassed the scope of medical science. So, Mr. Chu, there’s no need to waste your efforts on me."

This was a woman who could view life and death indifferently.

"How could you know without trying?"

"Let’s not bother..." Nangong Man Sha forced a smile, "Every time I hold onto hope, what follows is always despair. Rather than that, I’d prefer to remain in despair; at least that way, my heart can feel a bit better."

However, just as she finished speaking and looked up, she found that Chu Ge had already disappeared without her noticing.

"Mr. Chu..." Nangong Man Sha had just uttered two words when she suddenly felt a breeze on her face, and before she knew it, Chu Ge was already standing in front of her, tightly grabbing her right wrist!

"Bang—"

At that moment, the door of the room suddenly opened, and two old men in suits swiftly entered, their hair and beards moving without wind: "Kid, let go of the young lady!"

One of the old men growled, his voice booming like a large bell, which would have surely shocked an ordinary person.

However, Chu Ge merely glanced at them lightly, then refocused his attention back on Nangong Man Sha, while simultaneously controlling his Inner Strength, probing into the meridians at her wrist.

"So it is true. Innate Pulse — I never thought that the Old Master once talked about her constitution, and indeed I have now encountered it!" Chu Ge’s eyebrows slightly furrowed as he murmured softly.

Normally, about one-third of a person’s meridians are blocked, while Ancient Martial Artists discover these meridians and ultimately cause them all to connect, forming a perfect Grand Circulation throughout the body, thereby stepping into the Innate Realm.

Even ordinary people who have not practiced martial arts typically have two-thirds of their meridians unblocked, but all of Nangong Man Sha’s meridians are obstructed!

Meridians, unlike blood vessels which transport blood, control the essence within a person’s body. With Nangong Man Sha’s meridians blocked, it meant that while she appeared normal and even unidentifiable by medical equipment on the surface, in actuality her essence could not circulate, thus significantly reducing her lifespan.

The previous expert had used his own Inner Strength to forcibly open some of her meridians, allowing a small amount of essence to flow, which is why she could survive until now. However, this Inner Strength was nearly depleted, and in no more than a year, all her meridians would revert to being blocked, and Nangong Man Sha would naturally face death.

"Kid, let go!"

To the two elders, Chu Ge’s action seemed like deliberate offense. One of the old men barked and pushed off the ground with his right leg, propelling himself toward Chu Ge like a cannonball.

"Stop the noise!"

Chu Ge slightly frowned, and without turning his head, he casually waved his left hand behind him as if shooing away a fly.

"Bang—"

A muffled sound rang out, and the charging elder felt as though he had slammed into an iron wall! He hadn’t even managed to make a move before he screamed, and his body flew backward at a speed several times faster than his approach.

Fortunately, Chu Ge had controlled his strength, otherwise, the elder would have likely pierced right through the wall!

"This..." The remaining elder’s eyes widened, staring at Chu Ge as if he had seen a ghost.

With a casual wave, he had sent a Late Postnatal Martial Artist flying with no resistance at all, could it be that this young man, who appeared to be only in his early twenties, had already reached the realm of an Innate Grandmaster?

The elder was shocked by this thought himself... A Grandmaster in his twenties?

Nangong Man Sha also widened her eyes in shock as she stared at Chu Ge.

She had initially thought that this young man was merely skilled in medical arts, but now it appeared he might even be an esteemed Innate Grandmaster! An Innate Grandmaster held far greater awe than a Divine Doctor!

Meanwhile, determination flickered through Nangong Man Sha’s eyes; an Innate Grandmaster and a Divine Doctor — no matter the cost, this young man must be recruited to the Nangong Family!

Thinking this, Nangong Man Sha promptly showed her coquettish smile again: "You two, leave us. Oh, Mr. Chu, if you like seeing my hand, I’ll just let you look, there’s no need to hurry, you’re hurting me now!"

The elder who was just sent flying by Chu Ge had returned to the doorway by then. Hearing Nangong Man Sha’s words, the two men exchanged a glance, nodded, and bowed as they exited the room.

Unmoved by Nangong Man Sha’s flirtatious words, Chu Ge gradually increased the input of his True Qi.

"All your meridians are blocked, I’m going to use True Qi to forcefully clear some of them, it’s going to be very painful, bear with it!"
