Song Tangxue concealed the ambition in her eyes and went to the backyard to see Haitang. She held Haitang's cold hand tenderly and stuffed several hot water bottles into her quilt to warm it up. Xie Lingyi greeted her in a good mood.
After seeing Haitang's situation, Song Tangxue went back to the front to register, her eyes filled with determination.
Registration was ranked, and I even saw many "old acquaintances".
Xuesong Chen Shu Hu Feifei...
These clans also sent their children to try their luck, and they saw Song Tangli. Song Tangli took the initiative to come over, but what she said was not a kind word.
"Sister, you're here for this apprenticeship ceremony too?" Song Tangli flicked her sleeves condescendingly. "You're not here to try your luck either, are you?"
Song Tangli's eyes swept contemptuously over the large, snarling crowd, her gaze filled with mockery, clearly placing Song Tangxue among them as well.
"Then I advise my sister not to make things difficult for herself. It would be so embarrassing to hand in a blank paper when she doesn't know anything."
"And it's a disgrace to the Song family."
Song Tangli fiddled with the white jade bracelet on her wrist, which was a gift from Li Zhaoxian, and she deliberately showed it off in front of Song Tangxue.
Moreover, if Song Tangxue is forced to confront her in public, the Spiritual Healer Master's opinion of Song Tangxue will definitely decline.
This is a win-win situation.
To her surprise, Song Tangxue, who was usually unyielding, only glanced at her coldly this time and did not argue with her.
There was even a hint of pity in that glance.
Song Tangli was surprised, but she forced a smile and continued, "Sister, am I right? Are you too ashamed to speak?"
Before Song Tangxue could respond, Xiaotong came to inform Song Tangli that she had been disqualified from the exam.
Song Tangli frowned: "Why! Isn't it supposed to be that everyone, regardless of status, can take the exam? Even a poor beggar on the street can take the exam, so why can't I!"
Xiao Tong secretly sized her up and realized that Song Tangli was indeed not easy to deal with: "The most important thing in the exam is to look at a person's character and reputation. Miss Song's reputation is already well-known, so the master dares not accept her."
This reputation is not a good one; after Song Tangli's repeated meddling, it has already spread far and wide.
The child's voice wasn't quiet, and the crowd began to whisper among themselves. Song Tangli, looking embarrassed, pushed through the crowd and ran away.
Song Tangxue knew about this rule; she knew from the beginning that Song Tangli wouldn't be able to get into the exam stage.
Not only her, but several others were also turned away, all feeling ashamed and quickly leaving on their own.
Several people who were still in line also quietly slipped away, clearly as a warning to others, as these people did not want to lose face in public.
Song Tangxue didn't pay attention to any of that. She gave her name and was led to the courtyard where the exam was to be held by a young boy.
Many people were already waiting there. Chen Shu and Xue Song looked at Song Tangxue with hostility, but Song Tangxue remained nonchalant, as if she hadn't noticed them.
The first hurdle was a written test, which assessed everyone's medical knowledge.
Those who came to make up the numbers and try their luck were all eliminated, and the number of people was immediately reduced by half. They were led out by the medicine boys, dejected.
Xuesong and Chen Shu were clearly surprised that Song Tangxue had actually passed the first test.
They didn't have time to think too much. The assessment time was very tight. After passing the second and third rounds, Chen Shu was also eliminated. She took one last look with resentment.
Seeing that Song Tangxue always finished answering the questions quickly, he couldn't help but feel a burning resentment.
After the three rounds, only thirty people remained on the field, and the sense of apprehension in everyone's eyes grew stronger. Those who had reached this stage were all people with real skills.
Everyone has the hope of becoming Xie Lingyi's last disciple, but they may also miss the opportunity, and all the people in the courtyard are their competitors.
The fourth challenge was to diagnose patients in pairs. Xuesong and Song Tangxue were paired together. Xuesong looked at her with a cold smile and said, "Miss Song, it's been a long time."
Song Tangxue smiled politely.
While the two were talking, the patient came in, wearing a tall hat, coughing as he entered. His face was flushed, and he was breathing rapidly. He spoke in three parts, saying that he was coughing badly.
Xuesong had studied medicine since childhood, and he could tell the man's problem at a glance. With a quick thought, he said with a smile, "This patient looks to have a serious illness."
"Have you been experiencing these symptoms for a long time?" When looking at the patient, Xuesong's face darkened and his brows furrowed, giving him a troublesome look.
Seeing her like this, the patient swallowed hard. He had been suffering from this illness for a long time, and he thought it was just a common cold and that it would pass on its own.
Unexpectedly, the illness struck like a landslide, and I was unable to get up once I fell ill.
"It has been some time."
Cedar shook his head and sighed, "It's been dragged on for too long, and it's already turned into something worse."
The patient immediately broke out in a cold sweat.
"Miss Song, please take my pulse first." Xue Song stepped aside, humbly indicating that Song Tangxue should go first.
Song Tangxue didn't want to argue with her, so she took her pulse and asked, "It's just a common cold. Take this prescription, take it three times a day, avoid wind, and don't do heavy work."
"You feel tired because of a previous stomach problem. If you continue this tonic for six months, I guarantee it will cure you."
The patient was relieved and left with the prescription, expressing his gratitude profusely.
Even after the patient left, Xuesong was still completely oblivious. How could Song Tangxue possibly know anything about medicine? Moreover, she deliberately tried to lead her to believe that the patient was about to die.
Xuesong swallowed hard, his eyes filled with resentment. Such an opportunity had been given away for nothing!
"Your name is Xuesong?" Doctor Xie Ling stood in front of her.
Unexpectedly, Doctor Xie would take the initiative to talk to her, and Xue Song immediately put aside her displeasure: "Yes, Doctor Xie, this is Xue Song."
Even if you answer the question, so what? Now it's Xuesong, not Song Tangxue, who has gained Xie Lingyi's favor.
Xie Lingyi nodded, and Xuesong was overjoyed. He had already planned the moment to become Xie Lingyi's last disciple and slap Song Tangxue in the face.
"You can leave now. Your exam qualification is revoked." Xie Lingyi's words dragged her from heaven to hell.
Xuesong stared blankly at Doctor Xie: "Wait, weren't you going to take him as your disciple?!"
Doctor Xie Ling was also surprised by Xue Song's thought process: "You deliberately set a trap for your team members. Aren't you afraid of delaying the patient's condition? What if the patient can't withstand the shock, or has a heart condition? This is really against medical ethics."
Cedar opened her mouth but couldn't speak. She couldn't refute this, because she had done it on purpose: "No, I just misdiagnosed the patient. I didn't see the symptoms!"
She didn't dare to recognize him, and Doctor Xie simply waved for her to leave.
She thought she had done something flawless, that no one knew, and that she could also bring Song Tangxue down with her.
Xuesong left, his face ashen, while Song Tangxue remained completely unaffected. Doctor Xie nodded approvingly, neither arrogant nor impatient.
Unaffected by external forces, they are promising candidates for studying medicine with a calm mind.
