Fabre in Sacheon’s Tang

My father-in-law, who had been checking my pulse in the Clan Leader’s Hall, slowly nodded at me.

That was because my month-long treatment had finally come to an end.

He told me the irregularities in my pulse caused by the electrocution and the fractured ribs had all healed.

My father-in-law gave me the final diagnosis: fully recovered.

"Your pulse is stable, and with this, you can resume training starting tomorrow."

My pulse had stabilized thanks to acupuncture, moxibustion, and a Qi treatment similar to the internal techniques I received in Gonryun. As for the ribs, they healed faster than expected because of Bone-Fusing Ointment, a medicine known for its effect on mending bones.

The smell was so bad the kids hated it, but still.

I bowed my head in gratitude to my father-in-law, who had worked hard throughout the month.

"Thank you for all your efforts this past month, Father-in-law."

"Efforts? Nonsense. Now go get some rest today and make sure you're in the training hall by dawn tomorrow."

"Sorry, what?"

For a moment, I wondered if I’d heard wrong.
