318: Chapter 318: I Lost 318: Chapter 318: I Lost “This is incredible, it really cured him!
Traditional Chinese medicine and acupuncture are indeed miraculous.”
“Yes, if I hadn’t seen it with my own eyes, I would hardly believe it.
Even issues that modern medicine can’t resolve are miraculously cured in just an hour by acupuncture.”
“That’s right, Rao Yuanzhen is universally acknowledged as Divine Doctor in our College of Traditional Chinese Medicine.
He truly comes from a family of divine doctors.”
“Divine Doctor Rao, I love you to death!
Can I be your girlfriend?”
Amid the pervasive sounds of praise and admiration from the crowd, Rao Yuanzhen basked in the attention.
He had always enjoyed such treatment.
He liked being praised, admired gazes, applause, and flowers, but he loved the screams of girls even more.
Hence, he had always been proud, like a prince stepping out of a castle, naturally noble.
Just as Liu Shiyi had said, he had the arrogance to back it up.
A middle-aged man, assisted by his son, actually stood up, although not for long before he sat down again.
However, it was clear to everyone that it wouldn’t be long before he could walk normally again.
The son, too, was moved to tears and after a round of cheers, he kneeled down before Rao Yuanzhen, knocking his head on the ground repeatedly.
“Get up, take your dad home,” Rao Yuanzhen said.
“Eat more nutritious food to help him recover, and try to move his legs around more.
He should be able to walk normally within a week.”
“Thank you, thank you so much, Divine Doctor Rao.
I will take my dad home right away.” The son gratefully responded, pushing the middle-aged man away, eliciting another round of thunderous applause.
Rao Yuanzhen then looked toward Tangyu.
Tangyu had observed Rao Yuanzhen’s techniques closely and was surprised to find he was using the Holy Doctor Sect’s Yin Yang Divine Needle, and he had even mastered a bit of its essence.
This meant that Rao Yuanzhen must belong to the Holy Doctor Sect.
Tangyu hadn’t expected that the Holy Doctor Sect had members participating in worldly affairs.
He thought of another person, Rao Yuanzhi from Donglin First Hospital, the number one in acupuncture.
They were real brothers; it seemed that the Holy Doctor Sect had a significant foundation in Donglin City.
Tangyu pondered internally that he should seize the opportunity to visit the Holy Doctor Sect.
After all, the sect was revered in the medical field worldwide.
With their assistance, fighting the sinister doctors would be more effective.
“Mr.
Tang, does my method of acupuncture meet your standards?” Rao Yuanzhen asked, looking at Tangyu.
Tangyu smiled faintly, walking toward Rao Yuanzhen: “I have made myself very clear, and I will not take back my word.
Your foundational skills in the four diagnoses of Chinese medicine are still not up to par, and your methods of rescue are even more lacking.”
“What?
Who is this guy?
Did he get his brain squeezed by a door?
How dare he speak to Divine Doctor Rao like that?”
“Damn it, would it kill you not to show off?
Everyone saw how capable Divine Doctor Rao is.
This guy must be blind to make such low-grade accusations.”
Rao Yuanzhen wasn’t angry, but the audience couldn’t stand it and jeers flooded in like a tidal wave.
Many felt the urge to rush up and beat Tangyu.
Moreover, those fanatics looked at Tangyu as if he was an enemy, verging on a collective outrage.
Rao Yuanzhen wore a cold smirk on his face.
Naturally, he did not think that Tangyu truly possessed such incredible skills; such statements were merely attempts to tarnish his reputation, typical of putting on a baseless front.
Even if his brother, Rao Yuanzhi, held him in high regard, how could an outsider comprehend his prowess?
“If you have any brilliant moves, why not show off a few in front of everyone?
Then we can all judge for ourselves,” Rao Yuanzhen said.
“I’ve said before, my medical skills are not for sale.
I don’t need to prove anything to anyone, nor will I perform on your demand.
That would be an insult to me.
Actually, you don’t need to prove yourself in this way either.
True strength isn’t shown through performance.
It’s better not to be so frivolous and impulsive,” Tangyu shook his head and said.
“Hmph.” Rao Yuanzhen was exceptionally irritated.
This guy clearly didn’t dare to accept the challenge yet stubbornly pretended otherwise, speaking with a righteous facade.
He had seen shameless, but never this shameless.
If it weren’t for his good upbringing, he would have resorted to cursing.
It was all clear as day, yet he still dared to spew nonsense with his eyes wide open?
“Words are proven by actions, not just spoken.
Since you’re too afraid, then stop making such grand claims,” Rao Yuanzhen said.
“Grand claims?” Tangyu suddenly smiled.
As soon as the words left his mouth, he moved, swiftly aiming at Rao Yuanzhen with acupoint sealing.
This unexpected move startled Rao Yuanzhen, who found himself unable to dodge.
Instantly, he felt Tangyu’s fingers pressing on him several times.
His facial expression instantly stiffened, turning from cold to pale, and he seemed frozen in place, eyes wide and looking somewhat bizarre.
The onlookers didn’t understand what Tangyu had done to Rao Yuanzhen.
They only saw his hands moving on Rao Yuanzhen’s body like the acupoint sealing seen on TV, and then Rao Yuanzhen adopted that expression.
The entire place fell into an eerie silence, everyone’s eyes wide in bafflement at the scene.
“Yin Yang Divine Needle, you’ve merely grasped two layers of it.
You’re just lucky; that middle-aged man’s leg wasn’t completely necrotic, just blocked meridians.
Otherwise, do you think your medical skills could have cured him?
When has the Holy Doctor Sect started acting so high-profile?” Tangyu whispered into Rao Yuanzhen’s ear, then left with Liu Shiyi.
Hearing Tangyu’s words, Rao Yuanzhen was deeply shaken, and his face quickly turned unsightly.
“That was the—a technique of the Immortal Finger, how is that possible?
Didn’t Dad say that the Immortal Finger Technique was long lost?
If it wasn’t that technique, how could I have felt frozen for a moment earlier?
And he could tell I used the Yin Yang Divine Needle, so confidently identifying himself as a member of the Holy Doctor Sect; he clearly knows a great deal about us.
What’s going on?
Could he also be one of us?” After Tangyu left, Rao Yuanzhen was full of confusion, questions flooding his mind.
“Divine Doctor Rao, what’s wrong?
Are you okay, should we bring that guy back?”
“Yes, Divine Doctor Rao, what did he do to you?”
Rao Yuanzhen came back to his senses and shook his head, saying, “Everyone, don’t overreact; I’m fine.
I was just taken aback.
It seems this time, I’ve indeed encountered a true master.
I lost, utterly convinced of my defeat.
I don’t deserve the title of Divine Doctor, far from it.
Please don’t call me Divine Doctor from now on.”
In the past, he had always enjoyed being called Divine Doctor because his father was recognized as the Divine Doctor of Donglin City, and his brother, Rao Yuanzhi, was gaining fame and implicitly also known as a Divine Doctor.
Thus, he enjoyed this treatment at school too.
But now, he finally realized that there were higher skies and people beyond himself.
His own medical skills were just as the opponent had said, very ordinary indeed; where did he get the qualification to be called a Divine Doctor?
Yes, he had always been too high-profile.
Although this realization was painful, it shook him like a stark wake-up call, helping him recognize some problems within himself.
“Ah, what do you mean?
I don’t understand anymore.”
“Yeah, I don’t understand either.
Divine Doctor Rao, what have you lost?”
Rao Yuanzhen looked around at everyone and sighed, “Both as a person and in medical skills, I have lost.
His medical skills are far superior to mine, and here I was showing off in front of him, which is truly ridiculous.”
“What do you mean, Divine Doctor Rao, how could you have lost?”
Everyone was also confused, clearly Divine Doctor Rao had shown off his Divine Technique, so why did he suddenly and inexplicably say he lost?
However, Rao Yuanzhen apparently did not explain this issue.
——
“Tangyu, thank you.
What did you do to Rao Yuanzhen at the end?
Why did his expression turn so strange?” Liu Shiyi said.
Tangyu smiled and said, “Nothing much, just made him realize that my words were without falsehood.”
“Since you are not free for dinner tonight, I will take my leave then, goodbye.
Remember to tell me when you are free, I have already made an advance reservation with you,” Liu Shiyi said.
“Yes, definitely.
I’ll treat you next time, I’m really sorry,” Tangyu said.
“Hehe, then I won’t be polite.
You know it’s very ungentlemanly to refuse an invitation from a lady.
Next time, I want a big meal,” Liu Shiyi said with a smile.
Tangyu laughed and said, “Pick anywhere in Donglin City, even if I have to sell my blood or kidney, I’ll treat you.”
“Pfft—don’t exaggerate like that, it makes me embarrassed to let you treat,” Liu Shiyi said, covering her mouth with a laugh, looking truly charming, which made Tangyu stare in a daze.
“Hehe, just kidding.
A meal won’t bankrupt me, after all, I am working now,” Tangyu said.
“Okay, just kidding.
I’m leaving, goodbye,” Liu Shiyi waved goodbye.
“Yes, goodbye, see you in a few days,” Tangyu nodded.
“Good, I’ll wait for you,” Liu Shiyi said, her words hinting at something more.
After saying goodbye to Liu Shiyi and checking the time, which was nearly five o’clock, he did not stay any longer and went straight back.
Princess Apartments, living room.
“Feifei sister, I feel like you’ve been off all day today, smiling foolishly for no reason and even blushing while laughing.
Did you think of something happy?” Zhao Yaya said.
Lin Feifei’s face immediately turned red, as she naturally thought of what happened last night with Tangyu, making her feel both happy and shy, which explained her behavior today.
“Ah, really?
No, there’s nothing,” Lin Feifei said in a flustered explanation.
“Yiya, look at you, it seems like something good has happened.
Let me guess—ah, Feifei sister, you didn’t make some progress with Brother Tangyu, did you?” Zhao Yaya exclaimed with wide eyes.
Lin Feifei’s already red face turned as red as a ripe apple.
“That’s not it,” Lin Feifei said a bit embarrassedly, her argument weak.
Guo Momo had also noticed Lin Feifei’s expression and could tell that maybe Zhao Yaya had guessed right—that something might have happened between Lin Feifei and Tangyu.
They hadn’t already become intimate, had they?
With this thought, Guo Momo shook her head, trying to dismiss the idea.
However, as the elder sister of Princess Apartments, Guo Momo still bit her lip and said with concern, “Feifei, you must be careful about safety, otherwise it could harm you.”
Lin Feifei was startled, her face heating up.
“What are you talking about, Momo sister?
It’s not what you think.
Tangyu and I haven’t done that yet, it’s just—”
“Just what?” Zhao Yaya asked curiously.
Guo Momo paused slightly, then said after a moment, “You still have to be careful.”
“…”
“Yo, what’s all the excitement about?” Tangyu walked in, noticing the blushing Lin Feifei, resembling a ripe apple.
He thought to himself, could they already know about his and Lin Feifei’s affair?
Well, if they knew, they knew.
