464 You’ve Contracted Venereal Disease (1/2)

Amateurs could never trump the knowledge of experts.

That was why the other doctors standing around the room had no way to verifying Chen Xiaobei said. Only Elder Luo himself understood him, and quickly realized his own mistake.

To put it in a nutshell, expertise often proves superior than knowledge gained solely from books. That was why the doctors remained clueless, and only blanched as they witness the Elder Luo they idolized so fanatically bow to a young man.

”What?! Elder Luo lowered his head to that brat!? Am I dreaming?”

”I've Elder Luo bow when it comes to the field of acupuncture!”

”It's unbelievable!”

Chen Xiaobei ignored their shock and awe – a virtuoso never bothered himself with the opinion of the layman.

Still, he was impressed by Elder Luo's sudden change in attitude. The old man was revered in the field of acupuncture, and yet here he was, humbling himself and showing attitude towards Chen Xiaobei's guidance. Indeed, typical 'specialists' would be offended if their mistake was pointed out in public.

”Elder Luo,” he replied politely. ”You are most welcomed, but you're the senior here – bowing is not necessary.”

”No,” Elder Luo insited. ”Age matters not. You're definitely more knowledgeable than I am, and as such you're my teacher. I must bow, especially after you helped by correcting my error.”

In that very moment, he believed that Chen Xiaobei was a nice person and began to admire him. It had everything to do with the young lad's medicinal mastery, as well as his tremendous increase in charm that helps him earn others' trust and favor.

”I have a question. How did you know that Madam Diana's pulse was different?” Luo Puti asked, puzzled.

”The traditional medicinal approach is all about observation, smell, inquiry, and touch. In this case, however, I diagnosed her by observing her Qi,” Chen Xiaobei answered calmly.

”My goodness. You're truly talented! I still have so much more to learn compared to you. Shame on me, shame on me…” Elder Luo sighed.

The specialists still standing around could feel their jaw drop a little lower in disbelief. Chen Xiaobei was definitely the first to make Elder Luo claim inferiority, and their faces reddened as they recalled how they mocked the youth. How much they wanted to look for a hole to hide right then!

Suddenly, Tom screaming again. ”Both of you are conmen! That's enough for one showing, so get lost! I'll never believe in this traditional medicinal treatment anymore. You people are garbage, and only imbeciles would trust you with their lives! Get out, I don't want to see your faces anymore!”

Luo Puti was infuriated to hear him insult Chen Xiaobei and her grandfather. However, there was nothing that she could offer in defense, and she wished she could cure Madam Diana herself and slap him with the results. But ultimately, she could not do a thing to help – all she could do was bite down and endure the humiliation. The other specialists in the room felt the same.

In that moment, her fists were so clenched her nails were digging into her palms. She would never allow doctors who practice traditional medicine; she did grow up around her grandpa famous for his acupuncture after all. She was not alone in her frustration either – the other doctors were also seething as Tom trampled over their pride.

In the end, only one person was bold enough to stand up to that thug of a bodyguard.

Chen Xiaobei threw a chilling glare at Tom. ”It's in your interest not to humiliate us, or you will feel a huge slap in your face. I'm the only one in this world who has the skill to help her. If I leave, the only thing you could do is hold a funeral for her!”

”You? Stop fooling around! All you people ever will be are conmen. The old one is at a loss, and the young one is taunting me! Keep talking and I'll f*cking cripple you!” Tom said condescendingly.

”So, you think I'm a conman, huh!?” Chen Xiaobei bellowed. ”I'll diagnose you without any equipment or contact. Want to make a bet?”
