518: Chapter 517: I’m Not Sick at All!
Ning Fan turned to Tang Xinyuan, his lips slightly curving in a smile that was not quite a smile.
This slightly disdainful expression made Tang Xinyuan unable to hold back any longer.
“Fine, continue.
I’ve said that words once spoken, I will never regret.
The last round was a draw, this time, if you can win again, my word stands, the Tang Clan’s signboard, you can take it,” Tang Xinyuan said in a fit of pique.
Upon hearing this, Ning Fan sighed softly.
This Tang Xinyuan, easily provoked by his own words, was willing to gamble the Tang Clan’s signboard on just a few sentences.
Ning Fan couldn’t help but worry about the future of the Tang Clan if such a fool could become its future heir.
After Tang Xinyuan finished speaking, he began searching through the crowd again.
Soon, he set his eyes on a woman.
This woman seemed to have gone shopping for groceries.
She stood by, watching, and when she saw Tang Xinyuan looking at her, she quickly waved her hands and said, “I’m not sick at all.
I’m perfectly healthy.
Please find someone else.”
Tang Xinyuan stood in front of the woman, and seeing her continuously rejecting him, a trace of anger stirred within him.
In the past, whenever he mentioned his identity as a member of the Tang Clan, people would swarm around him, sick or not, all wanting to witness.
But now, when Tang Xinyuan approached this woman, she seemed to dodge him as if he were the plague.
And all this was because of Ning Fan.
The previous actions of Ning Fan had put him in this situation.
The thought was ridiculous.
He always thought it was because of what Ning Fan did, but he never considered that it was all due to his own previous behavior.
As a doctor, medical techniques are indeed important, but medical ethics are absolutely essential.
During the comparison with Ning Fan, Ning Fan’s actions were good.
When facing Tang Xinyuan’s sarcastic or provocative words, Ning Fan just responded symbolically.
But most of the time, Ning Fan’s attention was on the elderly grandfather.
For a doctor, the patient should be their utmost concern, and competition should never be brought up during treatment.
However, Tang Xinyuan made a foolish mistake.
While seeing the elderly man in pain, he inappropriately mocked Ning Fan, laughing uncontrollably.
This caused his popularity to drop drastically.
Indeed, the Tang Clan had a great reputation, but if spoofed by Tang Xinyuan like this, the result was what was happening now.
In the comparison between the two, many saw the first round as a loss for Tang Xinyuan.
Both had diagnosed and treated a patient, but Ning Fan’s treatment was far more impressive.
Not to mention, being able to make a patient who had been limping for twenty years recover instantly was something Tang Xinyuan absolutely couldn’t achieve.
But Tang Xinyuan would not admit defeat; he did not want to lose so easily.
He wanted to continue.
However, in the eyes of the onlooking crowd, there was already a fundamental difference between Ning Fan and Tang Xinyuan.
The ridiculous thing was that Tang Xinyuan still didn’t realize his own mistakes, but instead, he blamed everything on Ning Fan.
The repeated gestures of the woman waving her hands made Tang Xinyuan’s face instantly sour.
But now, he didn’t dare to make a scene, and instead continued to smile and said, “Does having irregular periods also count as normal?”
The woman had been refusing all along, but when she suddenly heard these words, she froze.
She looked at Tang Xinyuan in amazement, and suddenly realized that although this guy did not seem like a good person, he was after all from the Tang Clan, and his medical technique was undoubtedly impeccable.
Thus, the woman stopped and asked, “How did you figure it out?”
Tang Xinyuan smiled broadly at the woman in front of him and did not answer her directly, instead bragging, “The medical technique of the Tang Clan is outstanding.
This little illness is nothing to me, I can cure you right now.”
The crowd around them all wore expressions of disbelief.
What use is boasting about Tang Clan’s medical technique now?
“Alright, then please treat me,” the woman hesitated for a moment but still nodded her head.
After speaking, the woman stretched her arm out in front of Tang Xinyuan.
“What for?” Tang Xinyuan asked, puzzled.
“To take my pulse, aren’t you going to look further?” the woman asked, somewhat confused.
Tang Xinyuan’s lips curled slightly, his face filled with immense pride as he said, “The prowess of Tang Clan’s medical technique means that I diagnosed you with just one glance.
There’s no need to look further.
Taking your pulse, let’s skip that.
I’ll treat you right now.”
The woman was taken aback and frowned slightly.
Wasn’t that a bit too hasty?
However, thinking that what Tang Xinyuan said was not wrong and indeed her menstrual cycle was irregular, she didn’t say anything and drew back her arm.
Meanwhile, Tang Xinyuan fumbled in his clothing pocket for a while and took out a yellow elixir.
As everyone knows, the Tang Clan also made some elixirs, though different from those in myths, theirs were crafted using ancient methods of refining traditional Chinese medicine.
And the purpose of these elixirs was not for “Becoming an Immortal” but merely for curing illnesses.
“Take this elixir, and your illness will soon be cured,” Tang Xinyuan cheerfully said.
Although he was smiling, his heart was bleeding internally.
The value of this elixir was beyond what the woman in front of him could ever imagine, with each of the required herbs being invaluable.
The elixir could treat a wide range of diseases as well.
But there was no choice for him.
To surpass Ning Fan in this competition, he had to do this.
He wanted to cure the woman’s illness as quickly as possible, and the elixir was the fastest way.
The scene where Ning Fan cured an old man’s leg injury had made him feel a deep sense of crisis.
The woman, somewhat puzzled and skeptical, held the elixir in her palm and examined it, asking, “Can this really cure my irregular periods?”
She was doubtful because her condition was essentially a matter of regulation, not requiring medication; she could manage it with some daily attention, so she had not planned to seek medical help.
Now that Tang Xinyuan had pointed it out, she decided to give it a try, but she did not expect him to produce such a pill.
“Trust me, once you take it, you’ll get better quickly,” Tang Xinyuan said with a broad smile.
Actually, he had another motive for doing this— to disengage.
Because it’s difficult to clearly determine whether irregular periods are cured or not, and the previous scene had informed Tang Xinyuan that Ning Fan’s capabilities were no fluke.
