Chapter 1173: Feeling Good for the First Time

"No... No... Please forgive me, Elder Wenren... Have mercy..."

The noblewoman cried, her face was green and covered in snot.

Even nobles were separated into different ranks. This noblewoman may be able to show off in front of outsiders but not in front of Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao. To them, she was just another ordinary person.

She had no way of fighting back. And those who were of the same rank as she was kept their mouths shut. They did not care if she lived or died.

"Do as Elder Wenren said!" Dong Zhuo said coldly.

The two men in chang pao continued to drag her out.

The expression on Wenren Jinghao's face did not change.

He spoke on behalf of the people who were gossiping because he was kind.

But he did not feel sorry for that noblewoman because he would not have become the Northern Wilderness Temple Elder if he was only kind!

"Go outside, all of you! And continue to hit yourself! Let's not cause any more trouble in here!" Dong Zhuo addressed the nobles, impatient.

"Yes, yes, yes..."

Who would dare say another word?

Gu Congwen stayed back, his eyes still glued on Chen Xiaobei. This old man was obviously trying to use his relationship with Chen Xiaobei to warm up to Dong Zhuo and Wenren Jinghao.

Chen Xiaobei looked away, acting as if he did not know Gu Congwen.

Gu Congwen felt a prick but he could not say anything. He was the one who pretended not to know Chen Xiaobei in the first place. After which, Chen Xiaobei had helped him get out of slapping himself 100 hundred times.

When Gu Congwen realized then, he left the restaurant with his head down.

He had missed a major opportunity to snuggle up to the governor. If he had known that it would turn out like this, he would not have pretended not to know Chen Xiaobei.

He would have to curry favor from Chen Xiaobei more the next time, Gu Congwen decided as he walked away.

...

"Qing'er, what happened?" Why are you all wet?" Dong Zhuo asked, looking concerned.

"How are you, governor. I'm fine. I will go get another bowl of water!"

Wenren Qing'er did not want to explain. All that commotion had taken up so much time that Ms. Wenren was still not tended to.

"Get hot water? Why don't you just get the workers to do it?"

"Because of the rumor, Violet Bamboo Restaurant workers refused to listen to me. I don't have time to explain! I have to go!"

Qing'er quickly picked up the metal basin and turned to leave.

"Don't go. Let me try. I mean it!" Chen Xiaobei stood up and said, "Hot water is useless to treat Ms. Wenren's sickness!"

"What do you want to try?" Dong Zhuo asked.

Qing'er also looked doubtful.

Wenren Jinghao replied, "This young man claims to be a Chinese doctor. He said he could treat Muyue."

"Treat? How is that possible?"

Both Dong Zhuo and Wenren Qing'er looked surprised and cynical.

In Northern Wilderness Starfield, Doctors were one of the most respected careers. Of which of those famous doctors did not have white hair and silver beards?

This kid did not even have a single strand of hair on his chin. Even he had some medical knowledge, it would be very limited.

More so, even the Temple-ordained doctors were unable to treat Wenren Muyue, not a doctor in Northern Wilderness Starfield had a clue as to how to tackle her illness.

How could an inexperienced young thing treat her?

"I know that none of you believe me. But allow me to tell you about Ms. Wenren's condition. I don't need to feel her pulse to tell you that!"

Chen Xiaobei peeked into the cubicle.

"Young man! Aren't you blowing your trumpet a little too loud? How could you diagnose her without feeling her pulse? I have never seen any doctors like that! That is such a ridiculous overstatement!" Dong Zhuo frowned, displeased.

"Yea... Stop delaying. I need to go get the water!"

Qing'er agreed that Chen Xiaobei was just exaggerating.

Chen Xiaobei did not respond to either of them, He merely peered into the cubicle.

Wenren Muyue was on a chair, slumped. About one meter all around where she was seated, was covered in frost. It looked very much like Xiaobai's Absolute Zero Zone.

She looked wane and sallow, her lips were pale and her brows were furrowed. She was trying very hard to fight the pain.

"From her complexion, it is clear that her illness is caused by the presence of a foreign item or poison in her body. There are also many other reasons..."

Chen Xiaobei finally spoke.

When Wenren Jinghao and Dong Zhuo heard this, their jaws fell open. Even Wenren Qing'er stopped in her tracks.

From their response, it was obvious that Chen Xiaobei's diagnosis was accurate.

"On top of that, hot water could only temporarily suppress the cold air that her body is emitting but it could not ease the pain she's suffering." Chen Xiaobei continued. "That is to say that, even if you brought the hot water, it would only contain the cold air inside her body. She will have to suffer for a period of time before she could recover. I wonder if what I say is true?"

"It is! It's exactly true!" Wenren Qing'er tossed the metal bowl aside and held Chen Xiaobei's hands. "Please help her! I beg you, please!"

"Young man! Your diagnosis it correct, but what do you plan to do? Could you cure her?" Wenren Jinghao's reaction was not as emotional as Qing'er's.

"I can't say for sure. I will need to confirm the source of the cold air first!" Chen Xiaobei said, "but I have a Nine Dragon Acupuncture Technique that could suppress the cold air so that Ms. Wenren won't suffer!"

"Then what are you waiting for? Elder Wenren, give this young man a chance!"

Dong Zhuo felt that what Chen Xiaobei said was reasonable.

"Alright! Young man. You're up!" said Wenren Jinghao.

"Don't worry. Leave it up to me!"

Chen Xiaobei nodded and walked into the cubicle.

He stood in front of her and took out his needle bag.

Then he spoke very gently to her, "Don't be afraid. Soon, it will not hurt anymore."

Chen Xiaobei had not performed acupuncture for a long time now but his skill was not the least bit rusty.

His fingers worked like clockwork, working quickly and precisely. Injecting a little bit of True Qi into a dozen of places on her body as he pierced her body.

Wenren Jinghao, Wenren Qing'er, and Dong Zhuo stood behind Chen Xiaobei, watching him perform the acupuncture with awe.

You really can never judge a book by its cover!

...

After 10 minutes, Chen Xiaobei began to remove the needles.

Color had returned to Wenren Muyue's face.

"Miss, are you alright?" Qing'er did not wait a second more to ask.

Wenren Jinghao and Dong Zhuo pricked their ears up, eager to hear her answer.

"I feel fine!" Wenren Muyue replied in a soft voice. "I don't feel any pain at all. And the cold is completely gone! It felt like it did not happen at all!"

The three people who had been watching Chen Xiaobei perform the acupuncture on her was now looking at Chen Xiaobei as if he was a god.
