Supreme Divine Physician in the City

"Ah... what are you doing?"

Seeing Ye Xuan's palm reaching over, Lu Miaochan's face filled with alarm as she instinctively brought her hands up to protect herself.

Ye Xuan said earnestly, "I'm treating your illness! Your current condition is very dangerous, if not treated in time, it's likely to leave serious complications within your body!"

Lu Miaochan felt a bit hesitant; she didn't believe that Ye Xuan could treat illnesses – that was obviously a made-up story to deceive people!

However, she couldn't stand the pain brought on by chest tightness and didn't know what to do.

Just as Ye Xuan was about to tend to Lu Miaochan, a voice rang out from the side, "Hmph, don't use your ignorance as an excuse for treating illness. I've never heard of this method of treatment; it's utterly ridiculous!"

Seeing someone stirring up trouble, Ye Xuan furrowed his brows and turned to look.

The speaker was none other than the handsome young man who had been scared into silence by the bulky man earlier.

With an air of arrogance, the young man lifted his head disdainfully, looking down at Ye Xuan, "Kid, stop putting on an act. Your goal is to take advantage of this young lady. What excuse do you have now!"

A lazy smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face, "Oh, look who it is. Weren't you acting all submissive just a moment ago? Now you're here trying to show off and make a statement on my account?"

Zhou Weiqing's face turned red with anger, and with a cold huff, he pulled out a work badge from his pocket and said, "I am a doctor, let me take a look at this young lady's condition!"

Everyone looked and saw the badge had the address and name of a hospital in Dongyang City. This man actually was a doctor.

He had not gone far, but had been paying attention to the situation here all along. When he saw Lu Miaochan fall ill, he knew his opportunity had come!

From the moment Lu Miaochan had boarded the bus, Zhou Weiqing had been captivated by her.

Lu Miaochan's goddess-like demeanor and appearance had sparked intense fantasies in him.

He wanted to step in when the burly man had harassed Lu Miaochan, but the man's arms were thicker than his legs; even though he had the desire, he lacked the courage.

But now, if he could cure Lu Miaochan, would there be any difficulty in connecting with the goddess?

He had already thought it through. Later when treating Lu Miaochan's illness, he could take the opportunity to gain an advantage over the goddess, then stage a heroic rescue, and perhaps even win a kiss or take the beauty home!

"Tch, do you think you need to look? I could tell at a glance, she's suffering from acute angina!"

Ye Xuan said dismissively, "There's nothing for you here. I'm going to treat Miaochan, please keep your distance."

Hearing Ye Xuan's words, Zhou Weiqing felt a hitch in his heart, his eyebrows knit together – could this young man actually know how to treat illnesses?

Impossible!

"Hmph, can a country bumpkin like you treat illnesses? May I ask which medical university did you graduate from?"

Zhou Weiqing's mouth curled into a cold sneer, not believing for a second that Ye Xuan knew any medical techniques, and he loudly challenged, "I think you're just using 'treatment' as an excuse to take advantage of this girl. Scum like you, I've seen plenty!"

Ye Xuan couldn't be bothered to stoop to the level of such idiots; to call someone a country person with no manners while actually harboring sleazier thoughts than anyone else – this was your typical hypocrite with a secret perversion.

"I never went to college."

He admitted plainly. Truth be told, if preschool counts as school, his time in formal education didn't surpass three years.

"Ha, never attended college? So, you're not a professional! I advise you to stay away from the patient; otherwise, if anything goes wrong, your actions will constitute a crime!"

Zhou Weiqing's words seemed to be advising Ye Xuan, but the scorn in his voice was plain to hear.

"Young man, this person is a doctor. Hurry up and step aside, let this doctor have a look. Don't delay the young lady's condition," someone from the side intervened.

"That's right; it looks like you haven't bathed for several days? You're so dirty; if you cause a viral infection, that'd be the end of you!"

Some people started speaking on behalf of Zhou Weiqing.

Ye Xuan pursed his lips, saying indifferently, "Who says one can't treat illnesses without being a doctor? My medical skills come from Ancient Medicine."

What?

Ancient Medicine? How ridiculous! Is there even such a thing as Ancient Medicine anymore?

"I hate ancient medicine the most, the kind that relies solely on experience to treat people without any scientific basis, should be banned by the state!"

Zhou Weiqing wore a mocking smile, "I never said that diseases could be cured by touching, but since it's ancient medicine, that's understandable, it's all about fooling people anyway."

"If you consider the treasures passed down from our ancestors as deceits, then what are you, exactly?"

Facing Zhou Weiqing's cold sarcasm, Ye Xuan's eyes flashed with a trace of chill.

"Your quibbling is useless, you are just a charlatan, this kind of plot happens too often in novels! Step aside quickly, if you delay the best treatment time, can you bear the responsibility?"

Zhou Weiqing said loudly as he reached out toward Ye Xuan, trying to push the latter away from his seat.

"Just because you haven't seen it doesn't mean it doesn't exist, today I'll open your eyes, you bunch of mortals!"

Ye Xuan sneered, the suddenly emitted sharp aura made Zhou Weiqing step back several steps, his face turning pale.

"Fine, I want to see how you, the charlatan, will treat her!"

Zhou Weiqing huffed and no longer dared to challenge Ye Xuan.

Let him treat Lu Miaochan first, when he fails to cure her, this charlatan will reveal his true colors. Then he could step in, and it would rather highlight his superior medical skills.

Zhou Weiqing's eyes swiveled, he puffed out his chest and shouted to those around: "Everyone come and see, watch how ancient medicine treats her, keep your eyes peeled, so you don't get scammed by ancient medicine in the future!"

He wanted to make Ye Xuan lose face, who asked this bumpkin to get in the way of his flirting?

"What? Ancient medicine is harming people again?"

"Modern-day ancient medicine practitioners are all frauds, only Western medicine can serve the public!"

"That's right, haven't enough people been killed by ancient medicine over the years? We need to keep a close eye on this young man, don't let him really cause harm to the girl!"

"Well, that's not entirely true, isn't it? Nowadays, the number of people killed by Western medicine is millions of times more than those killed by ancient medicine!"

Hearing Zhou Weiqing's call, the majority of the people in the carriage were alarmed and began whispering to each other.

At this moment, Lu Miaochan's frail body curled up in a ball, her eyes closed tight and even trembling slightly, it was clear she was enduring tremendous pain.

Ye Xuan's expression turned serious, no longer hesitating. He bent down, one hand supporting Lu Miaochan, while his other hand rapidly pressed on several acupoints, infusing slender strands of energy into her body.

"Damn, this guy really touched the beauty!"

"Unbelievable, all the benefits are taken by this country bumpkin, there's no love in this world."

"Damn! Good cabbage has been hogged by a pig!"

The men around were green with envy, acid rising from their stomachs, filling their hearts with jealousy towards Ye Xuan.

Although the crowd was doubtful, suspecting Ye Xuan of taking advantage, seeing his serious expression, they did not interfere.

Zhou Weiqing scoffed, "I have to say, you're pretty good at feigning mystery, but you can only fool ordinary people! If you could really cure her like this, I'd call you grandpa."

At that, a playful smile appeared on Ye Xuan's face, "This is the first time I've seen someone so eager to be someone else's grandson, was your mother okay with that?"

"What I meant was, if you can cure the person, I will call you grandpa," Zhou Weiqing huffed.

Shaking his head, Ye Xuan composed himself and brought out several silver needles, quickly piercing them into her.

With each needle inserted, a strange energy was infused.

One minute, two minutes, time slowly ticked away.

But Lu Miaochan seemed to show no signs of improvement.

Seeing this scene, Zhou Weiqing, who had been watching with anticipation of a failure, revealed a thick sneer on his face.

Hmph, this charlatan is indeed putting on an act!

Just as he was about to scoff, the Lu Miaochan, who had her eyes closed, suddenly let out a light groan and then opened her eyes...
