48 What If He was Cured?

However, what happened in the end?

She still lost her only younger brother forever.

Seeing the girl's desperate, crying face; He Xi suddenly did not want… she really did not wish for this girl to have the same outcome as her and her younger brother.

Everyone surrounding them, including Shopkeeper Zhou, cast a doubtful gaze on He Xi. Why would she care about them?

She squatted down, held the young man's hand, and pressed three fingers on his pulse to silently feel the movements of it.

Under the golden-red setting sun, the youngster's hand was long and white with distinct joints; it looked like a delicate porcelain masterpiece. However, the spectators had no clue what the youngster was doing.

Shouldn't one use his spiritual power to deeply check the movement of the spiritual influence in the body to diagnose the condition? However, there was no spiritual power movement in the youngster's body. How could he treat a patient?

He must be a quack tricking people.

All the gazes on He Xi were filled with contempt, and Physician Xie's eyes flashed a cold underestimation.

How dare this immature person ignore his words? He was seeking death!

He Xi's feeling of pulse had sustained for a whole incense worth of time. When everyone was starting to get impatient, she finally released her hand and told the girl lightly, "Don't worry, I have a way to treat your brother."

When the girl heard that, she was stunned; and her lips trembled on without speaking a word.

However, no one in the crowd believed her words. All of them started calling her shameless and a liar.

Shopkeeper Qin, who was following behind Physician Xie, laughed out loud and screamed shrilly, "Where did this undaunted child come from? You're not even mature, and yet you still dare to lie here! Didn't you hear what Physician Xie said that he was incurable? What are you? Is your grade higher than Physician Xie's?"

He Xi completely ignored the crowd's mockery as she casually said, "I have no grade."

When the crowd heard that, they burst into laughter. Of course, someone scolded her and warned her against joking with life.

Shopkeeper Zhou's words and mannerisms were not as harsh as the others, but he could not help to advise, "Young Sir, physicians care about people's lives the most. It is not an easy task. Don't treat someone casually just because of a moment's indignance. Besides, since the beginning of time, no one had been able to treat the illness of one's meridians being cut. You should hurry on and go home!"

He Xi raised her head and looked at him. Her face was serious as she said slowly, "Of course, I know that a physician cares about people's lives so I never lie about this aspect."

Upon hearing this, Physician Xie sneered; and his face was filled with disdain. "There are so many people in this world who don't know their worth. Just for showing off, they can lie about all sorts of things. Since you claim that you can treat him, we shall not stop you. However, if you fail to do so and do not have the slightest ability at all, then I would have to contact the Physician Association to charge you for posing as a physician."

In the entire Mainland Miluo, a high-grade physician's status and treatment were special and distinguished. Besides, one would not even meet a first-grade physician in many remote places so there would always be people cheating money by posing as a physician.

Therefore, in order to mediate the situation, many countries would set a heavy punishment for imposing a physician. In the worst scenario, one would be relieved of their ten fingers, deprived of his cultivation, and banished to the Yuan Jing mine to be a coolie for the rest of his life.

There was no change in He Xi's expression as she coldly stared at Physician Xie. She said slowly, "Oh? Then, what if I can cure him?"
