"On-the-spot diagnoses?"
Lin Liping took a deep breath. ’This is an extreme test of a doctor’s clinical experience!’
"She said that as the chief examiner, she hadn’t intended to participate in the assessment. However, to help Jishan Hall gain the National Medical Hall’s recognition, she’s willing to join and compete against your candidate," Xue Zhong said, turning to Jiang Xinghai.
"What’s so difficult about that?"
Jiang Xinghai laughed heartily. "Everyone, just relax."
Everyone fell silent.
Xue Zhong was the first to relax. "That’s right. Mr. Jiang’s medical skills are miraculous. He can even repair a damaged Dantian, one of the world’s most difficult medical problems. Why would he be afraid of Nong Cuiru?"
"A damaged Dantian can also be repaired?" Ma Long, who hadn’t heard about this yet, was stunned.
’It’s a good thing I didn’t leave without saying goodbye. Sticking around has really paid off.’
After that, everyone began to feel much more at ease.
「1:30 PM.」
A van pulled away from a large hotel, heading toward Jishan Hall.
Inside the car were Nong Cuiru and her grandson, He Zixing, who, though awake, was still raving mad.
Nong Cuiru had been forced to summon several retainers from her family overnight to take care of He Zixing.
She couldn’t return home until He Zixing recovered.
Otherwise, she, Nong Cuiru, would lose all face!
’For one of the great Ten Saint Hands of the National Medical Hall to be unable to cure her own grandson... How could I possibly show my face at home?’
’What on earth is that old bastard Xue Zhong thinking?’
’I made it perfectly clear to him that if he wanted Jishan Hall to be recognized by the National Medical Hall, he had to pass my assessment. And yet he still failed to summon that Divine Doctor!’
’What is that old fool thinking? He’s so set on getting Jishan Hall into the National Medical Hall, yet so utterly lacking in self-awareness. Fine. You just don’t want to bow that arrogant head of yours to me, is that it? I’ll grant your wish. When it comes to Jishan Hall’s assessment, I will show no mercy!’
Nong Cuiru’s expression hardened, her eyes filling with killing intent. "Fifth, Sixth, listen to me. As soon as the assessment is over, place Xue Zhong under house arrest immediately. There can be no mistakes!"
He Wu and He Liu were both formidable masters from the He Family. They nodded at once.
It didn’t matter who their target was; if their master gave the order, they would carry it out without hesitation.
「A little over ten minutes later.」
The van slowly pulled to a stop in front of Jishan Hall.
"Fourth, when we get out of the car, you are not to leave Zixing’s side for a single moment. If anything goes wrong, I will slaughter your entire clan," Nong Cuiru’s icy voice rang out.
He Si, a woman, immediately nodded. "Please rest assured, Matriarch. I am willing to guarantee the young master’s safety with my life."
Then, the group exited the vehicle.
At the entrance to Jishan Hall, Xue Zhong, Lin Liping, and Feng Lulu were waiting, looking their way.
"Old Nong, please, come in," Xue Zhong greeted politely.
"Granny Nong, please," Lin Liping added, bowing to welcome her.
Nong Cuiru glanced at the three of them without a trace of expression and waved a dismissive hand. "We’re not going in. Bring a table out here. Let’s find ten random passersby for the diagnoses."
"Old Nong, aren’t we doing the theory assessment first?" Xue Zhong asked with a chuckle as he approached.
"What good is theory, no matter how solid? Let’s get straight to the practical assessment. It’s the most responsible way to test a doctor and serve the patients, is it not?" Nong Cuiru retorted.
"That makes sense."
Xue Zhong nodded with a smile. This would save a great deal of time and effort.
Jiang Xinghai and Ma Long then brought two tables and a few stools out from inside Jishan Hall.
Granny Nong sat down unceremoniously at one of the tables. "Which of you is up?"
"I will," Jiang Xinghai said, taking a seat without hesitation.
"You?"
Nong Cuiru shot Jiang Xinghai a sidelong glance. ’He’s so young. Even if he’d started studying medicine in the womb, that’s still only a little over twenty years of experience.’
’She, on the other hand, was in her seventies. She’d been studying medicine since childhood and had over sixty years of priceless experience!’
"Old Nong, why don’t you state the rules of the assessment first? Otherwise, how will we keep score?" Xue Zhong said, sitting down to the side.
"It’s simple. We’ll perform on-the-spot diagnoses for ten random passersby. Whoever makes the most accurate diagnoses wins," Nong Cuiru stated flatly.
"And if it’s a tie?" Xue Zhong asked.
"You can consider it your win," Nong Cuiru snorted.
She shot Xue Zhong a pointed glare, as if to remind him to hurry up and summon that Divine Doctor to treat her grandson.
But Xue Zhong pretended not to notice. He turned to Jiang Xinghai and said, "Mr. Jiang, you heard the rules. Shall we begin?"
Jiang Xinghai gave a magnanimous wave of his hand. "We can start anytime. After you, Granny Nong."
’Where did this arrogant junior come from?’
Nong Cuiru gave Jiang Xinghai an icy look and sneered, "Fine. Since you know how to respect your elders, I’ll go first."
Immediately, Lin Liping, Feng Lulu, and Ma Long began trying to attract people from the street.
"Granny Nong Cuiru, one of the National Medical Hall’s Ten Saint Hands, and the new Medical God, Jiang Xinghai, are personally offering free consultations! Spots are limited to just ten people..."
After ten-odd minutes, a curious crowd of passersby had indeed gathered to watch. freёwebnovel.com
Nong Cuiru’s gaze, however, lingered on Jiang Xinghai for a moment before she sneered, "The new Medical God, Jiang Xinghai? What an audacious title!"
