Chapter 256: Calm

Qiao Jing nodded and took a step back, indicating that Lu Ying should go ahead with the examination.

Lu Ying took out the box of acupuncture needles that he carried with him, pulled up Qiao Yue's sleeves and started inserting needles.

Qiao Yue's arms were covered in scars. Although Qiao Jing was standing a short distance away, he could still see them.

Among them was a scar from an injury she sustained when Qiao Jing rescued her the last time. It was since then that Qiao Jing started investigating Qiao Yue's background.

Lu Ying inserted a number of needles into Qiao Yue's arms. Dark blood emerged in several places where her skin was pierced.

Qiao Jing frowned. Although he did not know much about medicine, dark blood was not a good sign. It usually signified toxin in the patient's body.

Qiao Jing asked Lu Ying with a frown, "Is it because there's toxin in Qiao Yue's body?"
