Reborn as the Sweetheart of a Paranoid Boss-Chapter 534: Meeting Miles Goodman

The next day.

When Selena Kensington woke up, Sterling Norwood was still asleep.

She didn’t rush to wake him up either.

She observed his features meticulously.

Finally, she thought to herself contentedly.

Her man is so handsome, she hit the jackpot!

Afterward, seeing that Sterling Norwood was still not awake, Selena couldn’t resist her mischievous hands and began playfully tracing his features on his face.

As she moved down from his eyes and was just about to touch his nose, Sterling woke up.

"What are you doing? Hm?"

After waking up, he pulled Selena into his arms, his voice lazy and deep.

Selena laughed for a while in his embrace, rubbing against Sterling’s chin vigorously.

"Just cuddling you!"

She said mischievously.

Sterling absolutely adored her playful antics and affection while she acted coquettishly in his arms.

So soft and tender, it warmed his heart.

How could he bear to be harsh with such a treasure?

After goofing around for a while, Selena looked up, "I’m going to find Miles Goodman today."

She blinked and said.

Sterling paused his hand, "I’ll take you."

Selena got up from his arms, "No need, I’ll drive myself."

After decisively rejecting Sterling, she got out of bed and went to freshen up.

"..."

Having been decisively rejected by his wife again, Sterling could only shake his head helplessly.

Later, after finishing her morning routine and breakfast, Selena drove herself away from the main house.

*

It took nearly two hours of driving before Selena arrived at 78 Landscape Road.

It seemed she hadn’t been here for over a year.

Looking at the unassuming shop sign of Miles Goodman’s place, Selena smiled and walked over.

She knocked on the door of the psychology clinic.

After a while, Miles Goodman came out.

Seeing that it was Selena, a slight surprise flashed in his eyes.

Then, Miles opened the clinic door, "Come in."

Selena didn’t immediately acknowledge Miles but followed him inside.

It was still the familiar consultation room.

Miles walked ahead of Selena with a slight frown.

Afterward, he sat down in his place.

"Dr. Goodman, I came this time with something that has troubled me for a long time, and I’d like to hear your thoughts," Selena said, feigning seriousness.

Miles nodded slightly, "Please, go ahead."

His expression was calm, as if he just saw Selena as any other patient.

Selena suppressed a smile and said, "I always wondered, the two brothers who used to have me watch their martial arts competitions when I was little, in the end, who won?"

Whenever Selena went to the Rivers Family, since the adults had matters to discuss inside, Selena was usually looked after by Timothy Jennings and Miles Goodman.

The two boys wouldn’t really play with or amuse their little sister.

So, they could only perform martial arts competitions to entertain Selena.

But all these years, the two never had a winner.

Miles was taken aback, then suddenly looked up, "You... recovered your memory?!"

This incident was from the memories that had been erased from Selena.

If she could speak of this, she must have regained her memory.

Selena nodded, "Long time no see, Brother Miles."

"...It has been a long time."

Hearing Selena’s acknowledgment, Miles still found it hard to believe.

Then he looked at Selena, "How did you recover your memory?"

Selena’s memory had a seal set by Grandma Jennings herself, it wasn’t supposed to be easily broken.

"I went to Mount Nimbus and met Brother Timothy. He took me to The Celestial Vein."

Miles was rendered speechless.

No wonder...

Only the pure Heavenly Master Power within The Celestial Vein could break the seal in Selena’s body and awaken her Heavenly Master Bloodline.

"You didn’t just come today for a simple catch-up, did you?" Miles asked.

Selena smiled slightly, "As expected of Brother Miles, I do have a significant matter to ask."

"Brother Timothy says he’s found a way to remove the curse’s influence, and he’ll come to find me later. But before that, I want to learn more about the Clan of Celestial Masters."

Miles instinctively stood up, his voice rising, "You said Timothy found a way to remove the curse’s influence?!"

In his eyes, there was unmistakable disbelief and excitement.

Selena didn’t understand why Miles was so excited, but she still nodded, "I’m not sure about the specifics, we’ll have to wait for Brother Timothy to arrive."

Hearing this, Miles calmed down a lot compared to earlier.

He sat back down, "Sorry, I lost my composure just now."

"You mean you want to cultivate?"

Selena pursed her lips slightly, "You could say that."

"I see, follow me."

Then Miles led Selena to the backyard.

Selena didn’t expect that the backyard was actually the Goodman Family’s ancestral hall.

"This is the Goodman Family’s ancestral hall and also the place in Aethelgard where the Heavenly Master Power is most concentrated."

Miles said briefly.

Selena nodded.

Then Miles took Selena to a room on the left side.

Pointing to a round platform in the room, he said, "Sit cross-legged on it."

Selena obediently did as instructed.

Once Selena was sitting cross-legged, Miles continued, "Do you know what the Clan of Celestial Masters relies on to fight?"

Selena shook her head honestly.

Miles’ cool voice sounded, "In The Ancient Wilds, the Clan of Celestial Masters relied on the Heavenly Master Bloodline gifted by the heavens and the ability to refine talismans to gain combat ability."

"But as we entered modern society, those abilities have long disappeared. Even Timothy and I can only draw a few simple talismans, and we have long lost the qualification to fight."

This is also why the Clan of Celestial Masters declined and headed towards obscurity after entering modern society.

In The Ancient Wilds, they were revered for fighting Fell Beasts to protect humanity.

But as the battle between Fell Beasts and humans concluded, the usefulness of the Clan of Celestial Masters gradually diminished.

Additionally, the family’s ancestral teachings only taught them how to fight Fell Beasts, not how to integrate into society.

So, those Great Demons could choose to adapt to societal development by abandoning their beast form and continuing their legacy through bloodlines.

But the Clan of Celestial Masters could not.

They were inflexible and stuck to old ways, so eventually, they could only head towards obscurity.

And the abilities they once prided themselves on became useless in modern society.

"Close your eyes, take a deep breath."

After saying these things, Miles directed Selena.

Selena did as she was told.

"Use your awareness to feel the Heavenly Master Power flowing in your blood and then gather it in your dantian."

Selena listened to Miles and tried hard to feel the flow of blood inside her.

Whether it was due to her natural talent, she quickly sensed the Heavenly Master Power within her.

Then, she controlled it and gathered it into her dantian.

Selena could feel a warm sensation emanating from her lower abdomen.
