"On-the-spot diagnoses?"
Lin Liping took a deep breath. 'This is an extre test of a doctor's clinical experience!'
"She said that as the chief examiner, she hadn't intended to participate in the assessnt. However, to help Jishan Hall gain the National dical 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 dical skills are miraculous. He can even repair a damaged Dantian, one of the world's most difficult dical 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 ho until He Zixing recovered.
Otherwise, she, Nong Cuiru, would lose all face!
'For one of the great Ten Saint Hands of the National dical Hall to be unable to cure her own grandson... How could I possibly show my face at ho?'
'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 dical Hall, he had to pass my assessnt. 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 dical Hall, yet so utterly lacking in self-awareness. Fine. You just don't want to bow that arrogant head of yours to , is that it? I'll grant your wish. When it cos to Jishan Hall's assessnt, I will show no rcy!'
Nong Cuiru's expression hardened, her eyes filling with killing intent. "Fifth, Sixth, listen to . As soon as the assessnt is over, place Xue Zhong under house arrest imdiately. 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 mont. If anything goes wrong, I will slaughter your entire clan," Nong Cuiru's icy voice rang out.
He Si, a woman, imdiately 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, co in," Xue Zhong greeted politely.
"Granny Nong, please," Lin Liping added, bowing to welco 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 assessnt 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 assessnt. 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 ti 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 dicine 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 dicine since childhood and had over sixty years of priceless experience!'
"Old Nong, why don't you state the rules of the assessnt 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 anyti. After you, Granny Nong."
'Where did this arrogant junior co from?'
Nong Cuiru gave Jiang Xinghai an icy look and sneered, "Fine. Since you know how to respect your elders, I'll go first."
Imdiately, Lin Liping, Feng Lulu, and Ma Long began trying to attract people from the street.
"Granny Nong Cuiru, one of the National dical Hall's Ten Saint Hands, and the new dical 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.
Nong Cuiru's gaze, however, lingered on Jiang Xinghai for a mont before she sneered, "The new dical God, Jiang Xinghai? What an audacious title!"
