Special Agent’s Rebirth: The Almighty Goddess of Quick Transmigration - Chapter 322
Hearing the voice, Ye Shaohua looked up towards the Eldest Young Master.
Bai Ziyun hadn’t expected her to look directly at him and didn’t have time to avert his gaze.
When her clear, bright eyes met his, he was momentarily stunned, then gave her a faint smile.
The smile was subtle.
Yet, it still made the Primary Wife pause. Her son was usually aloof, even unwilling to communicate much with her, his own mother. He hadn’t listened about going to the Profound Sky Sect either, who knows what he had been doing traveling abroad.
This was the first time in the year since his return that she had seen him smile.
Seeing that Bai Ziyun actually wanted a lowborn to treat him, the Second Wife couldn’t help but sneer. “I say, sister, you’re not actually going to let that lowborn treat your son, are you? Do you really believe that lowborn’s nonsense? Master Murong has already said we should resign ourselves to fate…”
“You shut up!” Lord Bai glanced at the Second Wife.
Although he verbally rebuked her, his tone clearly held little actual blame.
It seemed the Second Young Master held a more important place in his heart.
“Ziyun, do you truly want this person to treat you?” Lord Bai turned to Bai Ziyun.
Bai Ziyun nodded. He opened his mouth, perhaps to say something, but suddenly his face turned deathly pale. He clenched his fists tightly, veins bulging.
“Master Murong, quickly, look at Ziyun!” Although Lord Bai didn’t value Bai Ziyun as highly as the Second Young Master, he was still his son.
Master Murong stepped down and fed Bai Ziyun a cyan-colored pill.
However, Bai Ziyun’s condition did not improve.
Master Murong shook his head. “I told you, the Eldest Young Master doesn’t absorb medicinal efficacy…”
“Wait, the divine physician,” the Primary Wife, now flustered, remembered her son’s earlier words and immediately looked at Ye Shaohua. “Divine Physician, can you save my son? I beg you, please examine him!”
Because of her son’s earlier words, the Primary Wife held great hope in Ye Shaohua.
Disregarding the dirt on Ye Shaohua’s clothes, she grabbed Ye Shaohua’s hand, her face full of plea.
Master Murong initially thought it useless, but seeing the Primary Wife like this, he swallowed the words on his lips.
“Step aside,” Ye Shaohua said, her expression turning serious as she looked at Bai Ziyun. She stepped forward, grabbed Bai Ziyun’s left wrist, and began carefully diagnosing him.
Seeing this, the Second Wife scoffed amidst the panicked crowd. “No Diagnostic Stone, and still calls herself a divine physician? Sister, you actually believe this lowborn! I’ve heard that sometimes lowborns treating each other often end up killing the patient.”
The Primary Wife glanced at the calm Ye Shaohua, feeling a bit uncertain.
This unfamiliar woman was too young, the polar opposite of Master Murong.
And also… she didn’t have a Diagnostic Stone?
Did she even know how to treat people?
The Primary Wife’s conviction wavered.
“What’s a Diagnostic Stone?” Ye Shaohua heard a new term, something the original host’s world had no access to.
“You don’t even know what a Diagnostic Stone is?” Now, not just the Second Wife, but even the guards and maids cautiously observing nearby looked at her strangely.
A Diagnostic Stone was something every physician on the continent possessed.
When a person placed their hand on it, it would reflect their physical condition.
Although extremely expensive to make, anyone studying medicine would prepare one.
Hearing that Ye Shaohua didn’t have one, even the onlookers outside wore expressions of schadenfreude.
Lord Bai watched Ye Shaohua place her hand on Bai Ziyun’s wrist. This method of diagnosis was unheard of; it almost seemed like she was taking advantage. He frowned.
But seeing the Primary Wife’s state, he held his tongue.
The Second Wife, never one to shy away from drama and no longer worried about her own son for the moment, saw the reactions of the onlookers, guards, and maids and spoke up, “Everyone just doesn’t understand. The Primary Wife has a keen eye for talent! This lowborn is using a healing method no one else on the continent knows! See? With just a touch, she can diagnose the Eldest Young Master’s illness!”
Her words seemed to defend the Primary Wife, but the use of “touch” revealed her true thoughts—she was seizing the chance to mock the Primary Wife for her poor judgment.
What kind of physician diagnosed illness by “touching”?
Others hearing the Second Wife’s words stifled their laughter.
“Madam,” Ye Shaohua finally withdrew her hand, frowning slightly as she looked at the Primary Wife. “The Eldest Young Master… he didn’t fall ill a year ago, did he? He’s had it since birth?”
Ye Shaohua recalled the wildly turbulent Xuan power she felt during the pulse reading.
It was strange.
She didn’t know the exact Xuan power levels of this world, but this level of power… surely didn’t belong to an ordinary person?
Hearing Ye Shaohua’s words, the Primary Wife was stunned, staring blankly at her.
Lord Bai’s expression grew increasingly displeased. He looked coldly at Ye Shaohua. “Ziyun fell ill when he returned a year ago. Most physicians in the city know that.”
Coming here for money, and she didn’t even bother to find out the basic information about the Bai Eldest Young Master’s illness?
Seeing the Primary Wife’s expression, Ye Shaohua understood.
She took out several silver needles from her pocket. The original host naturally didn’t have these; she had bought them earlier from the system.
They had been sitting in her system space until now.
She directly aimed for a major acupoint on Bai Ziyun.
Everyone on this continent only consumed pills when ill, consulting physicians or, if wealthy and powerful, buying pills from alchemists.
Who had ever seen someone treated with needles?
“What are you doing, girl?” Lord Bai had barely tolerated the pulse reading, but now he couldn’t hold back. He stepped forward. “I asked you to diagnose him, and you have no Diagnostic Stone. Fine! Now what are you stabbing my son with?! Guards, throw her out!”
The guards moved to obey.
But the Primary Wife, who had been hesitant before, now stood firm. She stopped the guards and turned to Ye Shaohua. “Miss, please continue.”
No one expected the Primary Wife to be so stubborn now.
Lord Bai, generally mild-mannered, couldn’t stand her treating their son so recklessly. But he couldn’t sway her. “Fine! Let her treat him! Let her! Even Master Murong said it’s incurable, yet you believe this mere child. Alright! If something happens to Ziyun later, don’t regret it and don’t beg me to ask Master Murong to see him!”
While the Primary Wife stood firm, Master Murong let out a surprised “Huh?”
He stared blankly at a white crystal he had taken from his spatial ring, then his eyes suddenly lit up, gazing at Ye Shaohua as if she were a precious gem.
But the noise around him brought him back to reality.
Seeing Ye Shaohua actually applying needles to Bai Ziyun, his face filled with alarm, and he immediately stepped forward to stop her. “Girl, stop this foolishness. It’s not worth risking this for ten mid-grade spirit stones from the Bai family. With so many Bai family members here, if you stop now, I can still plead for leniency from Lord Bai for you.”
When Ye Shaohua didn’t even glance at him, he added urgently, “…And I’ll even take you as my disciple…”
Ye Shaohua kept her eyes lowered, swiftly inserting another silver needle, completely unaffected by the external commotion.
It was as if she didn’t hear the malicious words at all.
“Lord Bai, this girl is too young, don’t take her seriously…” Master Murong had never seen someone so stubborn. Seeing he couldn’t dissuade her, he spoke directly to Lord Bai. “If any problem arises, I will definitely help manage the aftermath.”
Hearing that Master Murong was still willing to manage the aftermath for the Eldest Young Master, the Second Wife couldn’t help but remark sourly, “Master Murong, you probably don’t know, this lowborn is incredibly skilled! With just one poke of that embroidery needle, the Eldest Young Master will be cured!”
The outside onlookers, hearing the Second Wife’s deliberately loud words, burst into laughter one after another.
While applying the needles, Ye Shaohua’s powerful mental energy was also channeling through them, clearing Bai Ziyun’s blocked meridians.
She had already cleared most of them. Nine silver needles were retrieved one by one, and she was now retrieving the final one.
Hearing the Second Wife’s words, she slowly turned her head, her eyes icy as she looked at the Second Wife. “If I cure the Eldest Young Master, don’t you come begging me to save your son later!”
“Pfft— I’d let a lowborn save my son?” How could the Second Wife believe Ye Shaohua could actually cure Bai Ziyun? “Even if you begged me, I wouldn’t let you touch my son. Do you think I’m a fool like the Primary Wife?”
“Alright, Second Wife,” Ye Shaohua clicked her tongue. “You’ve got nerve. More than me. But I’ll remember those words.”
After speaking, she held the last silver needle between her teeth.
Lowering her head, she focused her mental energy on clearing the final blocked meridian.
