Feng Engui was shocked: "Su Qiushi? The one who wrote 'Su's Panacea'?"
This was the first time Su Ruyi had ever heard of "Su's Panacea".
But she nodded firmly: "That's right."
Feng Engui looked at Grandpa Ba Yuchi again: "Come on! Give me your hand again!"
This time, he took the pulse of Ba Yuchi's left and right hands for five minutes each, closing his eyes as if he were an old monk in deep meditation.
In his heart, a storm was already raging.
After a moment's careful examination, he realized that the young girl was right; he had indeed misdiagnosed the patient.
But how could he possibly admit it?
I can't let my lifelong reputation be ruined here.
But what method can be used to get away with it?
After thinking for a long time, he finally had an idea!
He suddenly opened his eyes and snapped at Su Ruyi, "A doctor should have a benevolent heart, but you're full of treacherous tricks! Tell me! Who sent you? What's your purpose?"
With these roars, Feng Engui's spittle landed on Su Ruyi's face, making her feel nauseous: "Doctor, you can't be right just because you're loud."
Feng Engui pointed at Ba Yuchi and said with feigned grief, "This old man was originally fine, but after your fright just now, his blood and qi have reversed in several places, and now he has really developed a serious illness! It is not impossible that he will die within three to five days!"
"What?!" Ba Yuchi felt his vision go black and he was about to faint.
Qi Yasheng hurriedly helped him up.
"Hmph!" Su Ruyi snorted coldly. "Dr. Feng, please don't spread such alarmist rumors! Are there really patients with stable conditions who are about to die just because of a few scary words? Your ability to spout nonsense is truly remarkable! If it's a misdiagnosis, it's a misdiagnosis. Just admit it openly, and no one will laugh at you!"
Feng Engui's trembling hand continued to point at Su Ruyi: "You're spreading heresy. I'm going to call the police and have you arrested!"
Su Ruyi looked at him coldly: "Healing and saving lives depends on one's own ability. Just because you can't beat me doesn't mean you can cheat."
Feng Engui repeated, "This patient's condition was originally stable, but you have completely frightened him to this point! Now, he is terminally ill, what hope is there for him?"
Su Ruyi raised her small face: "I can save you!"
Upon hearing this, Ba Yuchi quickly grabbed her arm, then, realizing his lapse in composure, released her, asking, "Dr. Su, are you telling the truth?"
Su Ruyi nodded and said, "Of course, but only when you are in dire straits can I use the trick of 'a glimmer of hope in the darkness' to give you a chance to live again."
Qi Yasheng didn't understand: "What do you mean?"
Su Ruyi glanced at Feng Engui: "Dr. Feng, are you sure this patient can't be cured?"
Feng Engui snorted again: "If I can't cure him, do you think you can? If you can cure him, I, Feng Engui, will retire tomorrow!"
Su Ruyi shook her head: "Tomorrow won't work. The old man will probably pass away at noon the day after tomorrow. It will take me about an hour to heal him. To be on the safe side, around 1:30 pm the day after tomorrow."
The time was mentioned in such detail that it sent chills down the spines of everyone in the room.
"Absurd! Utterly absurd!"
Feng Engui shouted.
He had already concluded that the man before him was doomed, yet this little girl claimed she could cure him. Clearly, she was a boastful braggart. Thinking this, he repeated, "Little girl, if you can cure him, I, Feng Engui, will retire on the spot and never again diagnose or treat anyone!"
“Okay! It’s a deal!” Su Ruyi replied.
"Wait, what if you can't cure him?" Feng Engui narrowed his eyes.
"There's no way I can't cure him. If I really can't, you can name your price," Su Ruyi said confidently.
"Aren't you Su Ruyi? I know you. You're the doctor who killed Young Master Qi's father, but I don't know why he's still entangled with you!"
"Dr. Feng, you can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. May I ask which eye of yours saw me kill Old Qi?" Su Ruyi's expression turned cold again.
Feng Engui stroked his beard: "Am I wrong? Qi Yuan went all the way to Heilongjiang Province to see you for treatment, and when he came back, all he had was a cold urn containing his ashes. You can't possibly have cured his illness, can you?"
"This capital city is truly a perfect place for spreading rumors and gossip! It seems that people like you are the ones jumping around like this! Doctor, listen carefully!" Su Ruyi's eyes widened. "Old Qi didn't even get to treat him before he passed away!"
At this moment, Qi Yasheng said dejectedly, "Dr. Feng, let's not talk about my father's death anymore. Actually, my father was angered to death by my sister. I know this very well, and it has nothing to do with Dr. Su!"
Feng Engui never expected that he would receive such earth-shattering news!
For a moment, they forgot to close his mouth: "Your sister... Qi Yaqin?"
Qi Yasheng repeated it solemnly again:
"Dr. Fang, I hope this matter can end here!"
I'm telling you this only to clear Dr. Su of suspicion.
Indeed, just as Dr. Su said, there are far too many sensational and unfounded claims!
But I believe that with your status, Dr. Feng, it's impossible for you to participate in spreading these ridiculous rumors, wouldn't you agree?
"Well... that's only natural. But... this Doctor Su is so arrogant, I have no choice but to make a bet with her!" Feng Engui changed the subject and returned to the bet.
"Go ahead and say it!" Su Ruyi said expressionlessly.
“Alright! If you can’t cure this living dead man,” Feng Engui said, pointing to Ba Yuchi on the bed, “then you must give me the Su Family’s Panacea, a book passed down in your grandfather’s family! And your Su family is forbidden from using it again!”
“Sure, no problem,” Su Ruyi readily agreed.
And so, the group decided to visit Ba Yuchi again the morning after tomorrow.
Feng Engui turned and walked away with his hands behind his back, his apprentice following eagerly behind him. The two left Ba Yuchi's courtyard.
At this moment, Ba Yuchi sat on the bed, trembling like a leaf, his face deathly pale: "I say... you two miracle doctors, are you trying to kill this old man today?!"
Su Ruyi said softly:
"Mr. Ba, don't be nervous."
I said I would cure you, and I will!
The process in between, whether it's waiting until you're completely exhausted or at your wit's end, is how things can be revived.
Whether it's something else or something else, it's all part of the treatment process.
I, Su Ruyi, swear to you that I will definitely cure you!
If I can't be cured, you can take my life!
