Xiao Feifei, though finding Li Se somewhat annoying, was also worried about having to kneel and apologize if she really lost. Thus, she reminded him, "Don't be impulsive. If you lose this, you have to kneel and apologize."
"I never intended to make a bet with someone like that." Li Se shrugged. People like Wu Yang would take the reward if they won but refuse to honor the bet if they lost. So why should he bet with such a person? httpδ:/m.kuAisugg.nět
"Heh, I think you're just afraid, aren't you? You dare to question my diagnosis without even seeing the patient. You're quite something. Now you're afraid to bet, which clearly shows you're guilty," Wu Yang chuckled.
"Teacher, what's the point of talking to someone like him? Does he even deserve to bet with you?" Cai Yuan said disdainfully.
"Alright, I'll entrust my daughter's condition to Imperial Physician Wu." Chen Yuan knew that Li Se was introduced by Elder Xiao, so he didn't want to embarrass the young man. He said, "Young man, thank you for your good intentions, but I still trust Imperial Physician Wu!"
"Director Chen, I think since this fellow is so confident that my diagnosis is wrong, let him have a look." Wu Yang, however, was unwilling to let go of this opportunity to teach Li Se a lesson. After all, Li Se had thoroughly embarrassed him twice before, and he had to get his own back at least once.
"Director Chen, my teacher is an Imperial Physician. How can we tolerate someone questioning him here?" Cai Yuan said in a deep voice.
Chen Yuan was somewhat exasperated. What was going on with this person introduced by Elder Xiao, daring to question an Imperial Physician? His audacity was truly immense. He was also puzzled as to why Elder Xiao would introduce such an unreliable person.
"Are you brave enough to bet?" Wu Yang asked coldly.
"Bet? Then you won't be able to practice medicine for the rest of your life." Li Se said nonchalantly.
Cai Yuan was unaware that his teacher had previously bet with Li Se and lost. So, upon hearing Li Se's words, he assumed Li Se was confident his teacher would lose and became furious on the spot. "Kid, you're truly arrogant. Without even seeing the patient, you're so sure my teacher will lose and that my teacher's diagnosis is flawed. If that's the case, why are you afraid to bet? Do you know the price for questioning an Imperial Physician!"
"If you insist on betting, how about this? This kind of bet, 'never practicing medicine again,' I don't think you'll actually honor it, will you?" Since the other party insisted on betting, Li Se decided to accept the wager.
"What do you mean by that? Do you think my teacher can't afford to lose? Ridiculous! First of all, you have to be able to win. My teacher is an Imperial Physician; how could his diagnosis possibly be wrong!" Cai Yuan shouted again, refusing to allow anyone to underestimate his teacher.
Chen Yuan also couldn't help but frown. Whether this young man introduced by Elder Xiao had any skill was yet unknown, but he was truly arrogant. Especially before even betting, he had already convinced himself that Wu Yang would lose, even believing Wu Yang to be someone who couldn't afford to lose.
Such arrogant young people were rarely seen. However, Chen Yuan honestly didn't have a good impression of this kind of young man. No matter what, Wu Yang was an Imperial Physician, so his medical skills were definitely not bad. Moreover, at this Imperial Physician level, it was difficult to make diagnostic errors, as they had to treat officials and nobles in the capital. Any diagnostic mistake would cause significant trouble.
Xiao Feifei was also speechless. This Li Se was really stubborn, utterly determined to question Wu Yang. As a member of the Xiao family, she knew Wu Yang. Being an Imperial Physician meant his medical skills were superb; how could he possibly make a mistake in diagnosis?
Wu Yang, however, waved his hand generously and said, "Cai Yuan, it's alright. I haven't encountered anyone who dared to question my medical skills yet. Medicine is rigorous. Since this kid doubts my diagnosis, as a doctor, I naturally cannot stand by and do nothing. What if the diagnosis is indeed wrong? To be on the safe side, and for Miss Chen's sake, I made this bet. Firstly, for Miss Chen's sake, letting this kid have a look is fine. Secondly, as an Imperial Physician, I cannot allow just anyone to question me, which is why I made this wager!"
"Still so honest and magnanimous!" Cai Yuan fawned.
"Tell me, how do you want to bet?" Wu Yang did not believe he would lose, which was why he confidently made this bet. What a joke! This Li Se dared to question his diagnosis without even meeting Miss Chen; this was purely personal animosity.
"The same. If your diagnosis is flawed, then kneel and apologize." Li Se said calmly.
"You want my teacher to kneel and apologize to you?" Cai Yuan got angry again.
Li Se smiled, "What, you have so little confidence in your teacher?"
Cai Yuan's expression flickered between anger and silence. He wanted to say more, but Wu Yang stopped him. "Fine, let's do it this way."
Chen Yuan frowned, "Imperial Physician Wu, perhaps it's best to forget it. I don't quite trust this young man, especially since he's a practitioner of traditional Chinese medicine."
Having such a young man examine his daughter made him extremely uneasy.
"Feifei, thank Elder Xiao for his kindness. Take him away," Chen Yuan waved his hand.
"Oh, you don't even get a chance to see Miss Chen," Wu Yang said with a half-smile.
"The patient's family is unwilling, so you won't be able to examine her. In that case, you lose. Kneel and apologize to my teacher!" Cai Yuan said triumphantly.
Li Se couldn't be bothered with the two of them. He looked at Chen Yuan and said, "Uncle Chen, although I haven't met Miss Chen, if I'm not mistaken, she even has nightmares during the day, dislikes going out, fears light, often experiences sleep paralysis, and even dreams of soul detachment?"
Chen Yuan was shocked. Because he cared deeply about his daughter's condition, he often stayed with her. His daughter's situation was indeed as Li Se described; she often mentioned soul detachment or similar experiences. Could this person introduced by Elder Xiao actually have some skill?
"Heh, this is nothing more than excessive stress combined with frequent nightmares. Naturally, the spirit will be somewhat stimulated. These are all normal phenomena," Wu Yang snorted lightly.
"No, this is not a normal phenomenon at all."
Li Se retorted, then looked at Chen Yuan and continued, "Miss Chen's Bazi must be rather weak, correct?"
Chen Yuan was surprised again, "You know that too?"
Although he didn't believe in metaphysics or feng shui, it didn't mean he didn't know his daughter's Bazi. According to feng shui principles, his daughter's Bazi was indeed quite weak.
"What does this have to do with Bazi?" Xiao Feifei was astonished. This guy was at it again, but she couldn't help but ask.
Li Se explained, "The day master born in the months of巳, 午, 未, or the winter months of 亥, 子, 丑, indicates a weaker constitution for the native. If the heavenly stems and earthly branches in the year and hour pillars lack metal and earth to support them, the Bazi's potency will be greatly reduced. For example, if you are a wood element person, with strong fire, earth, and metal in your chart, and weak water and wood, water and wood complement each other, while fire, earth, and metal are forces that control or drain you. Such support is minimal, but the energy consumed is immense, which weakens the wood element, making the Bazi very frail."
He paused, then continued, "Miss Chen's Bazi likely falls into this category. Those with weak Bazi tend to have weaker bodies. When they go to places with heavy Yin energy, they can be plagued by malevolent spirits, leading to frequent illness and nightmares!"
