Chapter 122: Is It Too Late to Regret Now?
The Young Matriarch
In the field of medicine, only Shennong could be called the Ancestral Master; Liu Zhen must have had a screw loose to say such a thing.
Startled by Liu Zhenâs shout, Bai Yinyin trembled all over and took an involuntary step back.
But at that moment, with everyoneâs eyes on her, she found herself in a dilemma, whether to advance or retreat.
Bai Yinyin didnât particularly dare to offend Liu Zhen, after all, he was the National Medical Saint, and who knew if the Bai Family would need to seek him out for medical help in the future?
Bai Yinyin wondered how Bai Chuwei had managed to establish a connection with Liu Zhen as she suddenly remembered the third floor of Bai Chuweiâs place was filled with medicinal herbs; could they have come from Liu Zhen?
However, under the scrutiny of the crowd, Bai Yinyin had no choice but to brace herself and force a smile, âLiu Zhen, youâve misunderstood. I was just a little surprised⦠Didnât you say earlier that it was your Ancestral Master who saved Elder Duan?â
Duan Feihan spoke indifferently, âI went to Yunwu Mountain with Xingye to invite Miss Bai down the mountain.â Although he hadnât recognized her at the time.
With the Duan Familyâs Fourth Master personally vouching for it, the surrounding crowd buzzed with discussion, and curious looks were cast toward Bai Chuwei.
A red-faced old man burped and laughed, âWhen did the Duan Familyâs Fourth also start to boast? Weâve heard that for the past week, it has been Liu Zhen providing your father with medicinal baths and acupuncture treatments. Besides, what can a little girl understand about medicine? She hasnât even attended Medical University, right?â
The surrounding guests nodded in agreement; they preferred to see older doctors because they were experienced and skilled in medicine. The idea of being treated by a little girl like Bai Chuwei made them fear for their lives!
Liu Zhen glared angrily, âAll those teachings were imparted to me by the Ancestral Master himself!â
Bai Yinyin whispered, âBut Bai Chuwei is my Bai Familyâs adopted daughter, and I have never seen you visit our home.â
She has to be at school during the day, and she has never come over at night, so how could the teachings have been passed on? In a dream?
Liu Zhen was seething with anger, finding Bai Yinyinâs face extremely irritating!
Bai Chuwei shook her head with a light chuckle, not wishing to argue with the crowd. After all, no one in this world would believe that she had lived for five thousand years.
Bai Chuwei wanted to go back, grab Xue Qiu, and leave when a delicate female voice suddenly rose, âWho says my goddess canât practice medicine? Step forward, and Iâll beat them to death!â
Qi Yue strutted out, her eyes shining as she stared at Bai Chuwei, declaring loudly, âMy nearsightedness was cured by my goddess, without going through any surgery. Just one prescription restored my vision to 5.3!â
Vision restored to 5.3?!
Everyone knew there were surgeries for nearsightedness, but the idea of operating on the eyes was unsettling, furthermore, minors were not allowed to undergo the procedure, and those who did couldnât donate their corneas.
In Haichengâs social circles, many were aware of Qi Yueâs severe nearsightedness; a girl close to her exclaimed in astonishment, âQi Yue really isnât wearing contact lenses!â
Qi Yue lifted her chin proudly, âWith my vision restored, why would I need glasses?â
Everyone gasped in unison, staring at Bai Chuwei with their mouths agape.
Turns out⦠this young girl really knew how to practice medicine? And she could even cure nearsightedness? Impressive!
Nearsightedness is quite common and can be serious. Apart from risky eye surgeries, there has been no known case of any famous doctor curing it with just a prescription!
If this were to spread, it would surely shock the medical world!
Among the crowd, a student from Henghua First Middle School pushed up his thick glasses as if waking up from a dream, his voice quivering with a hint of crying tone, âI⦠I canceled my appointment for a consultation with Bai after allâ¦â
Was it still possible to regret it now?
