Chapter 141
“I heard that the physician from the Namgoong Clan would be examining me.”
“That is correct.”
“I have already shown my body to countless physicians, but there has been no improvement.”
“I heard as much. Is that why you sought to obtain the Great Restorative Pill?”
At Namgoong Mucheon’s direct question, the elders simultaneously stiffened in surprise.
The attempt to secretly obtain the Great Restorative Pill from Shaolin had been kept strictly confidential within Mount Hua. For that to come from Namgoong Mucheon’s mouth was more than enough to catch them off guard.
“I heard it from the Plum Blossom Divine Sword. Speaking of which, he seems to be absent.”
“The Plum Blossom Divine Sword had urgent matters and temporarily left the main sect. Regarding the discourtesy he committed at the Namgoong estate previously, allow me to take this opportunity to offer a formal apology.”
No Un rolled up the sleeve of his arm.
“As you can see, the Sect Leader of this sect has fallen to a dreadful illness, which greatly alarmed our elders.”
The implication was clear: the pressure No Mun had applied on the Namgoong Clan to retrieve the Great Restorative Pill was all due to the Sect Leader—himself—being afflicted with this illness.
Namgoong Mucheon nodded lightly, as if to indicate he understood.
