"No … Please don't … Elder Wenren, please spare my life … Elder Wenren, please spare my life …"
The lady wailed, her face pale. She was still scared out of her wits.
Nobles were divided into different classes. This lady could strut around in front of outsiders, but in front of Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao, she was no different from an ordinary human being.
She could not fight back. Her companions kept their mouths shut, not daring to care about her life.
"Do as Elder Wenren says!" Dong Zhuo ordered coldly.
Two men in luxurious robes dragged the lady out like a dead dog.
Wenren Jinghao's expression did not change.
He could speak up for those who spread the rumors because he was kind.
But he would not pity the lady. Kindness alone would not make him an elder of the Northern Wilderness Temple!
"All of you, get out of here and continue to talk. Don't disturb the peace and quiet here!"
Dong Zhuo looked at the group of unlucky bastards impatiently.
"Yes, yes, yes …"
None of them dared to say another word. He quickly retreated out of the room.
Gu Congwen did not leave. He stood there, staring at Chen Xiaobei. Clearly, this old man wanted to use Chen Xiaobei's relationship to get acquainted with Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao.
But Chen Xiaobei turned his gaze away, looking like he did not know him.
Gu Congwen was frustrated, but he had nothing to say.
After all, he was the one who pretended not to know Chen Xiaobei. Chen Xiaobei had spoken up for him and saved him from a hundred slaps.
Gu Congwen could only leave dejectedly.
He had missed the opportunity to get acquainted with the City Lord Temple Elder. The old man's intestines were turning green with regret. If he had known, he would not have pretended not to know Chen Xiaobei.
It seemed like he would have to get closer to Chen Xiaobei in the future. Gu Congwen made up his mind as he walked.
…
"Qing 'er, what's wrong? Why are you soaking wet? "Dong Zhuo asked, looking concerned.
"Hello, Governor. I'm fine. I'll go get a basin of hot water!" Wenren Qing 'er did not have time to explain. The commotion just now had taken up a lot of time, and the lady was still suffering in the private room.
"Hot water? Can't you just get the Violet Bamboo Restaurant's servants to do it? "Dong Zhuo was slightly puzzled.
"Because of those rumors, the people from the Violet Bamboo Restaurant won't listen to me at all. I don't have time to explain. I'll go now!" Qing 'er hurriedly picked up the metal basin and prepared to leave.
"Don't go. Let me try. I'm serious!"
Chen stood up again and said in a deep voice, "Hot water is not going to help Ms. Wenren's condition!"
"What do you want to try?" Dong Zhuo asked.
Qing 'er was also puzzled.
Wenren Jinghao said, "This young man said that he is a Huaxia traditional Chinese medicine practitioner and can help treat Muyue's illness."
"Traditional Chinese medicine? How is this possible? "
Dong Zhuo and Wenren Qing 'er both wore expressions of disbelief.
In Northern Wilderness Starfield, Traditional Chinese Medicine was one of the most prestigious professions. Which famous doctor was not an old man with white hair and beard?
This kid doesn't even have a beard. Even if he knows Chinese medicine, he probably only knows a little.
Most importantly, Wenren Muyue's illness could not be cured even by the Temple's famous doctor, let alone the other famous doctors in Northern Wilderness Starfield.
How could a mere youngster cure it?
"I know that you guys don't believe me. Let me tell you about Ms. Wenren's condition. I don't need to feel her pulse. I can tell you directly!"
Chen Xiaobei looked at the private room.
"Young man! Even if you want to brag, you should at least come up with a draft! How are you going to cure her if you don't feel her pulse? Even the best Huaxia doctor in this city needs to feel her pulse! Don't you think you're exaggerating? "
Dong Zhuo pursed his lips in dissatisfaction.
"Yeah … Let's not waste any more time. I'll go get the hot water now!" Qing 'er also thought that Chen Xiaobei was bragging.
Chen Xiaobei, on the other hand, did not say a word.
Wenren Muyue was sitting on a chair. With her as the center, a one-meter radius around her was covered in a layer of frost. It looked very similar to Xiaobai's Heavenly Frost Realm.
She looked very haggard. Her lips were pale and her brows were furrowed. It was obvious that she was enduring the pain.
"Judging from Ms. Wenren's complexion, her illness is caused by a foreign object in her body. It could be poison or something else …"
Chen Xiaobei said.
Upon hearing that, Wenren Jinghao and Dong Zhuo were stunned. Wenren Qing 'er's footsteps also slowed, and she stopped.
From their reactions, it was not hard to tell that Chen Xiaobei's initial diagnosis was correct.
"Other than that, the hot water can only suppress the cold Qi coming out from her body. It can't relieve the pain that she's suffering from.
In other words, even if we bring hot water, it will only trap the cold Qi in her body. She will still have to endure the pain for a period of time before she can recover. Am I right? "
"Yes! You're absolutely right! "
Wenren Qing'er was shocked. She threw the basin away and ran over to Chen. She grabbed Chen's hand and begged, "Quick, help me take a look! Qing 'er beg you! I beg you … "
"Young man! Your diagnosis is correct. But, what are you going to do? Can you really cure Muyue? "Wenren Jinghao was a lot calmer than Qing 'er.
"I'm not confident that I can cure her right now. I still need to confirm what's causing the cold Qi!"
Chen Xiaobei said. "But, I have a Nine Dragon Acupuncture Technique. It can suppress the cold Qi and at the same time, make Ms. Wenren feel less pain!"
"Then what are we waiting for? Elder Wenren, let him try it! "Dong Zhuo was 80 to 90% convinced by Chen Xiaobei's reasoning.
"Alright! Young man, I'll have to trouble you! "Wenren Jinghao said.
"Don't worry. Leave it to me!"
Chen Xiaobei nodded and walked into the private room.
When he was in front of Wenren Muyue, Chen Xiaobei took out his needle pouch and said, "Don't be afraid. It won't hurt very soon."
Chen Xiaobei had not performed acupuncture for a long time but his technique was not rusty at all.
His fingers moved like a flower dipping in water. He quickly inserted True Qi into dozens of acupoints on Wenren Muyue's body.
At the same time, Wenren Jinghao, Wenren Qing 'er, and Dong Zhuo were standing behind Chen Xiaobei, watching Chen Xiaobei's dazzling acupuncture technique.
You really should not judge a book by its cover!
…
About ten minutes later, Chen Xiaobei began to remove the needles.
By then, Wenren Muyue's pale face had regained its normal color.
"Eldest Miss, are you feeling better?" Qing 'er was the most excited one. She couldn't wait for even a second to ask.
Wenren Jinghao and Dong Zhuo pricked up their ears, eager to hear the answer.
"I'm fine now!"
Wenren Muyue said softly. "The pain is gone and the cold Qi is completely gone. I've never felt better!"
