Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios

As soon as Nianyang stepped into the Hundred Charities Hall, the receptionist inside welcomed her and asked, “Miss, are you here to buy medicine or see a doctor?”

Nianyang said calmly, “I’m a doctor. I came to treat the patient who issued the bounty.”

Upon hearing this, the receptionist’s expression changed when he looked at Nianyang. “What? You said you’re a doctor? What a joke. Do you know how difficult it is to treat the illnesses of the patient here? Famous doctors everywhere have been treating him for three days without any effect. What do you know, little girl? Go away.”

Nianyang was not angry. Instead, she said good-naturedly, “Comrade, the bounty has said that any doctor can come and treat them. You have no right to chase me away. Besides, you work in the pharmacy. You should be an intellectual. You must have been taught by a teacher when you were in primary school that you can’t judge a book by its cover, right?”

It was really strange. The little girl in front of her was clearly so thin and petite. Moreover, her words were thin and soft, as if a gust of wind could blow her away.

However, there was a sharp and proud aura in her bones, as if she was the kind of heroine described by the authors in the martial arts novels he read.

The receptionist, who was originally disdainful, was stunned when he sensed this extraordinary aura. He did not dare to say anything else and obediently led Nianyang to the emergency room.

When Nianyang arrived at the emergency room, she immediately saw a large bed in the middle of the hall. A pale and unconscious man was lying on it. Beside him sat a young and beautiful madam who was sobbing sadly with her head lowered.

This was the head and mistress of the Ruan Family.

Traditional Chinese medicine was all about looking, hearing, asking, and feeling. Nianyang only took a glance and had an idea. However, she did not say anything immediately. Instead, she observed secretly.

The emergency room was very lively. Famous doctors from all over the world were gathered here. There were about a dozen of them. They were all gathered in twos and threes in front of the bed and were whispering to each other about the Ruan Family Head’s condition.

When they saw Nianyang enter, everyone only glanced at her casually and did not care. They thought that she was just an errand girl waiting for instructions. They did not expect her to be a doctor.

“Friends, it’s been three days. Have you figured out what illness this Sir has?”

“Over the years, I’ve seen all kinds of strange illnesses, but I’ve really never heard or seen this Sir’s illness!”

“Me too. I’ve exhausted everything I’ve learned in my life. I’m really helpless…”

When Mrs. Ruan heard the doctors’ conversation, she whimpered sadly.

At this moment, someone shouted, “The Holy Doctor, Doctor Xu, is here!”

With this sentence, the eyes of the famous doctors in the emergency room lit up. They looked over and saw a hale and hearty middle-aged man in a white robe appear at the door. Their faces were filled with admiration and surprise, as if that person was a savior.

“Dough, who is this Doctor Xu?” Nianyang asked silently.

[Master, he’s a very famous wandering doctor. He traveled everywhere and cured many strange illnesses. He was conferred the title of being the reincarnation of Hua Tuo [ 1. Hua Tuo is an extremely skilled doctor in ancient China].]

Nianyang raised her eyebrows. Had she met her match?

“So this is the famous Doctor Xu. His bearing is indeed outstanding!”

“It’s said that Doctor Xu is the reincarnation of Hua Tuo. He can pull a dead person back from the hands of the King of Hell. There’s nothing he can’t treat!”

“Doctor Xu is famous. I’ve long heard of him. I actually saw him in person today. With him joining, I believe Sir’s illness can be saved!”

Doctor Xu received everyone’s reverence and walked in arrogantly. The famous doctors around the bed naturally gave up the best seats.
