519: Chapter 518: Is There a Way Out?
Since he had already talked big, if he lost, there was no way for him to wrap things up, so he had to choose this method.
Ning Fan’s skills were indeed exceptional, and although Tang Xinyuan truly found it hard to accept, he had to admit that the scene where Ning Fan treated the old man’s leg injury was something he, Tang Xinyuan, could not achieve himself.
Therefore, Tang Xinyuan already felt a strong sense of crisis.
First of all, let’s not even talk about skills, because if you already think you’re going to lose, then your chances of victory are already very small.
The reason for choosing this woman was just that.
Even if Ning Fan really found someone next and cured their illness, Tang Xinyuan wouldn’t necessarily lose.
After all, no one knows whether the woman’s illness was really cured or not.
Moreover, Tang Xinyuan didn’t play any tricks in this regard; after all, ingrained with the path of medicine from a young age, he truly gave a very precious elixir to the woman.
The woman looked around at the crowd, thinking that no matter what, Tang Xinyuan was a member of the Tang Clan and should be genuine, so she still opened her mouth and swallowed it.
Seeing the woman take it, Tang Xinyuan forcefully let out a breath of relief and smiled, “Alright, now that you’ve taken my elixir, there shouldn’t be much problem with your illness.”
The woman hesitated and nodded her head.
Only then did Tang Xinyuan turn his head to look at Ning Fan, about to speak, but saw that Ning Fan had already started walking towards the crowd.
The reaction of the crowd in front of Ning Fan was completely different from the reaction of the crowd in front of Tang Xinyuan just now.
The crowd in front of Tang Xinyuan just now had been indifferent upon seeing Tang Xinyuan select someone, while those chosen, like the woman, were resistant.
But it was different with Ning Fan; when they saw Ning Fan coming over, the people all jostled to surround him, chattering and starting to talk all at once.
“Take a look at me, Divine Doctor, please.”
“Look at me, look at me, I’ve been waiting for a long time.”
“No, help me first, I squeezed in here before them!”
…
In a moment, Ning Fan’s surroundings became incredibly noisy.
By contrast, Tang Xinyuan’s side was a lot quieter.
Tang Xinyuan’s face grew even uglier, and if it weren’t for so many people watching, he would have wanted to turn and leave right then and there.
“Everyone, quiet down, don’t panic, because in my eyes, most of the people present are normal, you have no ailments or disasters, and there’s really nothing that needs to be checked,” Ning Fan said, spreading his arms to quiet the surrounding crowd.
His words were quite effective.
Although there was still some noise, the voices had quieted down significantly.
Ning Fan looked around with a hint of distress, realizing that sometimes a situation like this wasn’t necessarily a good thing.
Most of the people present were healthy, without illness or calamity, but now with a Divine Doctor offering a free check-up in front of them, who would want to give up the chance?
Ning Fan looked around, suddenly his eyes slightly widened, and then he reached out to part the crowd.
In front of Ning Fan stood a woman with a child about five or six years old.
The woman looked towards him with a face full of hope; she also wanted to go in and have Ning Fan take a look, but because she was with her daughter, she really had no chance.
When she suddenly saw Ning Fan walking towards her, the woman was momentarily stunned on the spot.
It wasn’t until Ning Fan approached her that she realized what was happening.
“Divine Doctor, I…” the woman began to speak instinctively.
But before she could finish, Ning Fan suddenly made a silencing gesture to cut her off.
The woman, hearing this, quickly shut her mouth.
Ning Fan then slowly bent down, squatting on the ground, looking at the little girl in front of him.
The little girl seemed a bit nervous and shrank back toward her mother as she looked at Ning Fan.
“Don’t be nervous, little sister, how old are you this year?” Ning Fan asked with a smile, his voice extremely gentle, causing some of the girls in the crowd around them to involuntarily soften.
The little girl shook her head and shrank back towards her mother again, but she did not answer Ning Fan’s question.
Ning Fan smiled, then looked up at the woman in front of him and asked, “Is this your daughter?”
The woman nodded her head.
“When did your daughter become mute?” Ning Fan pondered for a few seconds before astonishingly asking.
As soon as these words were spoken, the crowd around them immediately focused their eyes on the little girl.
This little girl was a mute?
“How ridiculous; she simply didn’t speak because she was shy.
How did she become a mute in your eyes?” Tang Xinyuan took the opportunity to scoff mockingly.
Ning Fan didn’t even turn his head, nor did he pay any attention to Tang Xinyuan, but continued to look at the woman.
Unexpectedly, the woman nodded her head again, excitedly saying, “It’s been two years, already two years.”
She seemed very excited; having seen Ning Fan healing an elderly person earlier, she had wanted to try as well, and now she actually had the chance.
And Ning Fan, without asking anything else, just looked and asked the girl a question and immediately knew her condition; it was nothing short of a miracle!
Tang Xinyuan, standing behind them, had the sneer on his face freeze instantly upon seeing this.
He looked around awkwardly, relieved to find that no one was laughing at him, completely unaware that the people around had automatically excluded him.
This habit of mocking others during their healing was truly annoying.
“Two years, huh…” Ning Fan murmured.
“Yes, two years.
Because of this, my daughter is often bullied at school, and she’s almost unable to continue going to school.
Please, Divine Doctor, I beg you to treat my daughter,” the woman said, and as she spoke, she recalled the heartbreaking events of the past two years, her eyes reddening as she looked about to cry.
Ning Fan sighed with understanding as he could tell just by looking at the young girl’s expression.
These past two years, this little girl must have endured too much bullying, which made such a small child become so withdrawn.
If Ning Fan didn’t treat her, and it continued this way, the girl would essentially be ruined.
“Rest assured, since I have said it, naturally I can do it.
I’ll treat her right now,” Ning Fan said with a smile, walked up to the little girl, and gently touched her head.
At first, the girl was a bit afraid and wanted to shrink back, but her mother stopped her and, squatting down gently, said, “Listen to Mommy, okay?
Let this uncle have a look at you, alright?”
The mother’s words were indeed effective; the girl blinked and eventually gave a slight nod.
Unexpectedly, Ning Fan then reached out, lifted the girl from the ground into his arms, and held her close.
