"Senior sister, look at this foreigner, he looks so funny, just like the monkeys at home, so amusing."
The boy standing by couldn't help but point at Peter and chuckle.
But with a glare from the man in the robe, he immediately covered his mouth.
The girl standing next to him stuck out her tongue at him, looking gleeful.
Seeing Peter return empty-handed, Situ Guang nudged the butler with his eyes.
"Mr. Peter, this is the consultation fee prepared by the master for you. Please accept it."
The butler handed Peter a check.
Peter took it casually, his eyes widening in surprise when he saw the amount.
"Thank you, thank you, Mr. Situ."
After his surprise, Peter bowed repeatedly in thanks.
He never imagined that even though he couldn't cure Situ Guang's daughter, the other party would be so generous as to give him a check for a million.
Situ Guang nodded, and then the butler escorted Peter out.
As Peter left, Situ Guang's gaze swept over the remaining man in the robe and Du Fei.
"Young friend."
The man in the robe gestured to Du Fei.
Du Fei smiled slightly, indicating that the man in the robe should go first.
Seeing this, the man in the robe no longer hesitated and stepped up to the bedside.
He first reached out and took the pulse of the unconscious girl lying on the bed.
Then, he extended his hand to the boy behind him. The boy immediately opened the backpack he was carrying and took out a needle bag.
The man in the robe opened the needle bag and spread it out beside the girl.
He skillfully picked up the silver needles and quickly inserted them into the girl's forehead.
Within a minute, all the silver needles from the bag were inserted into the girl's head.
"Master has used his unique skill, the Hui Ming Nine Needles. This time, it will definitely wake up the sister on the bed."
The girl standing behind the man in the robe said excitedly.
The boy nodded like a pecking chicken.
Clearly, both of them had great confidence in their master's medical skills.
However, as time ticked by, five full minutes passed, but the girl on the bed remained still.
The man in the robe was already covered in a cold sweat. "Wh-what's going on?"
If he could remain calm when Peter failed, at this moment, he too wore a look of disbelief similar to Peter's.
The man in the robe came from a family of traditional Chinese medicine practitioners, and his ancestor was the renowned Hua Tuo.
Initially, he thought that with his medical skills, curing Situ Guang's daughter would only be a matter of time.
But unexpectedly, even after using his unique skill, the girl showed no signs of waking up. This completely stumped him, and he couldn't figure out what the problem was.
Seeing that the man in the robe was also fruitless, Situ Guang sighed and glanced at the butler.
The butler understood his meaning immediately and approached the man in the robe with a check.
"I cannot accept this check. I, Hua Mou Ren, am deeply ashamed for failing to cure your daughter's illness. I used to believe my traditional Chinese medicine skills were the best in the world, but now... alas."
Hua Chengfeng sighed and silently put away his needle bag.
Then, he planned to leave with his two disciples.
"That's enough for today," Situ Guang said.
After speaking, he walked back to the bedside, while the butler prepared to ask Du Fei and Hua Chengfeng to leave.
"Hey, we haven't even started yet, and it's already over?"
Fang Chao was a bit surprised by Situ Guang's words.
As for Du Fei, although he didn't speak, he was clearly somewhat dissatisfied.
Situ Guang turned to look at Fang Chao. "Both Western and Chinese medicine doctors have tried. Do you think there's still a need for you to try?"
Situ Guang had experienced similar scenes countless times.
Each time, he would come with hope, wishing for a highly skilled doctor to wake his daughter.
But each time, the results were disappointing.
Today was clearly another disappointing day. Situ Guang planned to let these people leave and then quietly spend some time with his daughter.
However, he was annoyed that Fang Chao and the other two seemed unwilling to leave.
"I don't know about others, but I know that since we've come, we should at least try. Perhaps I can cure your daughter's illness," Du Fei said calmly.
Situ Guang turned his head and stared directly into Du Fei's eyes. Du Fei met his gaze unflinchingly, his expression serene.
"Fine, I'll give you a chance! But if you fail to cure my daughter, you will leave immediately!"
Du Fei's calm and confident gaze made Situ Guang willing to give him a chance.
However, his tone clearly indicated his displeasure at the moment.
Under Fang Chao's encouraging gaze, Du Fei walked towards the bedside.
Meanwhile, Hua Chengfeng, who had been planning to leave with his two disciples, stopped. He didn't leave immediately.
Then, Hua Chengfeng saw Du Fei also take out a needle bag from his person.
"Wow, this brother also knows acupuncture?"
The girl behind Hua Chengfeng exclaimed when she saw Du Fei take out the needle bag.
Then, realizing she shouldn't have spoken, she quickly covered her mouth.
At this moment, the boy beside her stuck out his tongue at her, and the girl retaliated with an eye-roll.
Du Fei, standing beside the girl, also extended two fingers like Hua Chengfeng and pressed them on the girl's wrist.
Hiss, that's strange.
Apart from the slow beat, the girl's pulse was otherwise normal.
Her pulse beat slowly because the heart beats slower when sleeping than when awake.
But her physical condition was normal, which shouldn't be the case.
If everything was normal, why would the girl remain unconscious for so long?
Du Fei hesitated before inserting the needles.
"Finished trying? If so, please leave."
Seeing Du Fei's delay, Situ Guang finally couldn't help but speak.
This young man looked no more than twenty years old.
How could he grasp the profound knowledge of traditional Chinese medicine at such an age?
Likely having learned some superficial skills from somewhere, he was now brazenly posing as a doctor with his needle bag, utterly ridiculous.
Situ Guang took Du Fei for a fraud.
"Wait, please give me one more minute."
Just as Situ Guang approached, Du Fei suddenly spoke.
At this point, was he still struggling for survival?
Situ Guang's impression of Du Fei had deteriorated to the extreme.
Even Hua Chengfeng, not far away, couldn't help but shake his head.
Initially, he was surprised when he saw Du Fei take out the needle bag, thinking he was a young acupuncture master.
But when he couldn't even insert the needles, Hua Chengfeng couldn't help but shake his head.
Now, being driven away by Situ Guang and still lingering, it was truly a disgrace to their profession.
Seeing this, Hua Chengfeng turned to leave.
