"Still thirty-five? Handso? Hahaha!"
"Little girl, you must have been deceived. Go to the clinic and see; there isn’t a doctor who’s particularly young. Many haven’t graduated by their thirties."
"Exactly, little girl. You weren’t swindled for your looks, were you?"
"..."
"..."
The crowd continued their chatter, speaking in sharp and sarcastic tones, even going so far as to cruelly suggest that An’an was tricked for her looks.
Faced with their words, An’an was no longer scared, and her calmness had vanished. Now all she felt was anger.
She stood up for soone, but in the end, they sared her reputation as a woman like this.
At this mont, the elderly man with the white beard decided to play the good guy for the sake of leaving a nice impression on everyone.
He stood up and said, "Everyone, let’s not say such things about the young lady. It’s not easy for her; she was just deceived. Let’s be more understanding on her behalf. She’s not affecting anyone’s ability to buy dicine. Everyone rest assured, you can still get your dicine."
As expected, his words had an effect, and the crowd praised him again.
"Little girl, look at that, see how you sared Divine Doctor Xue, and yet he didn’t mind at all. You were lucky to encounter him. If it were soone else, it might not end so well."
"Yeah, Divine Doctor Xue is truly a good person, so friendly, and after all this, still says nice things about you."
"But you too, still young, be more cautious and don’t let people deceive you. Go ho quickly."
"..."
"..."
At this mont, An’an felt these people had taught her the most important lesson of her life.
And that is, people are treacherous. The white-bearded man seed amiable, but was insidious underneath.
She sniffed a bit, took a deep breath, and, pressing her lips together, said, "Well, I’m going to leave, but before that, I want to ask the white-bearded man a few questions."
"Little girl, what more do you want to say? Divine Doctor Xue isn’t pursuing the matter, he’s letting you go, just leave quickly."
"Yeah, what else is there to say? Go on now."
"..."
"..."
To appear rciful, the white-bearded man said, "Young lady, what do you want to ask ?"
An’an looked at the white-bearded man and asked, "I’ve heard that Divine Doctor Xue no longer treats patients. Is that true?"
"It’s true!"
"Why?"
"It’s not convenient for to disclose."
"Alright, so if you are Divine Doctor Xue, by not treating patients but selling dicine here, isn’t that contradictory?"
"Not contradictory. I just don’t treat patients, but I didn’t say I wouldn’t make or sell dicine."
"..." The answer was far-fetched, but An’an had no choice but to accept it.
To expose his true identity, An’an pondered over her next move. She decided to take one last gamble.
So she spoke again, "Are you really Divine Doctor Xue?"
"Genuine as can be!"
"If you are Divine Doctor Xue, then you must be highly skilled in dicine and very knowledgeable about herbs."
"Of course."
"But I still believe the one I know is the real Divine Doctor Xue. You’re not, so why not tell everyone here about the effects of so herbs and prove you’re Divine Doctor Xue."
Upon hearing this, the face of the white-bearded man turned a bit unpleasant, clearly unhappy, "Young lady, my dical skills and the effectiveness of these dicines are evident to all, there’s no need for to prove it to you."
