No matter where he went, Mei Shuhai was always treated with utmost respect. But now, a young man dared to be so rude to him, igniting a surge of anger that made his blood boil.
He was about to lash out when Anling Yuan interjected, “Dr. Mei, this is the Xi Yue you’ve been looking for.”
Upon hearing those words, the anger on Dr. Mei’s face instantly turned to shock.
What?! Xi Yue is actually such a young man? Judging by his build, he can’t be more than 17! And yet, he was the one who helped Mrs. Bai deliver her child safely? How is that even possible?!
One of the young men standing behind Dr. Mei looked uncertain and conflicted, a single thought looping endlessly in his mind. A young doctor at such an age… A young doctor—why did that sound familiar?
He recalled a junior mentioning something a few days ago, about a remarkable talent emerging from Mortality Hall’s assessment in the Spirit Refining Domain—someone whose abilities even surpassed Medical Sovereign Lou’s. C-could it really be this boy standing before him?
He kept the thought in mind, resolving to look into the matter at the Spirit Refining Domain when he had the chance.
After overcoming his shock, Dr. Mei immediately shouted at Xi Yue, “You’re Xi Yue?!”
Xi Yue ignored him and signaled for Jun to bring the patient inside.
Being a kind apprentice, Jun reminded, “Mister, if you want to see a doctor, you have to queue up. Jumping in line is a bad behavior.”
Dr. Mei’s face flushed with anger, the veins on his forehead throbbing as he gritted his teeth. “This must be a joke! How could a kid like him have treated Mrs. Bai? He hardly looks like a Divine Doctor. To me, he’s nothing but a fraud!”
Hearing those words, Junjun immediately grew upset. He hated when anyone insulted Xi Yue. Pouting, he retorted, “Xi Yue helped Mrs. Bai deliver her baby, and many people witnessed it. Everyone here knows how skilled he is as a doctor. How can you, an elder, spread such baseless accusations?”
The people of Skyrise City waiting in line nodded in agreement. Besides Mrs. Bai’s delivery, many of them had visited the Sumeru Clinic in recent days and had their chronic ailments cured. Xi Yue’s remarkable skills had earned their admiration, leaving no doubt in their minds about her authenticity.
Irritated, Anling Yuan remarked, “Dr. Mei, you need to back up your words with evidence. Everyone here has seen Xi Yue’s skills as a Divine Doctor—there’s no faking that. What grounds do you have to accuse her of being an imposter?”
With that said, he ran over and took Xi Yue’s hand, showing Mei Shuhai the Divine Doctor mark on her hand.
Xi Yue gently pushed Anling Yuan aside and said calmly, “Uncle An, don’t bother with them. Whether they believe it or not has nothing to do with me. It’s time for consultations—remove anyone who isn’t here for treatment.”
Furious, Dr. Mei’s face turned red, his whole body trembling with rage.
In all his years as a Divine Doctor, he had never been treated with such disrespect! To be humiliated by a mere youngster—how could he possibly swallow his pride after this?
“You insolent brat, do you even know who I am or why I’m here today? Speaking to me like that—have you even considered the consequences?!”
Xi Yue smirked, not even bothering to glance at the old man who looked like a bloated toad. With a dismissive wave, she said, “Uncle An, show him out.”
This time, even Dr. Mei’s two disciples were fuming with rage. One of them, a young man in the Nascent Soul stage, bellowed, “How dare you disrespect my master! I’ll make sure you learn a painful lesson, you insolent brat!”
With that, he leaped into the air, flipping gracefully like a hawk. A longsword appeared in his hand as he lunged straight toward Xi Yue.
