Chapter: 5347

Ye Chen laughed coldly, "I'm not being a deadbeat. You're the one who started this bet! And besides, I didn't see how you two placed your bets, do you have any witnesses?"

Hong Changqing spoke coldly again, "Of course I have witnesses - all the people who came to see doctors yesterday are my witnesses! There's even the woman who served as our referee during our competition; she can also testify!"

Ye Chen asked again, "So what did you two bet on?"

Hong Changqing said proudly, "Alright then! One bet is to guess who can accurately read someone's age, and two is to see who can..."

Ye Chen didn't let him finish his sentence, interrupting with a smile, "Alright already, don't say anymore, just tell me about this first point. How did you two decide the rules for guessing ages?"

Hong Changqing spoke coldly, "The rule was that my partner and I would both read someone's pulse together, then write down the birth date on paper, and let the woman pull out her ID card to see whose date is closest to her actual birth date. Whoever wins!"

Ye Chen nodded and asked again, "So what were your specific results yesterday?"

Hong Changqing shouted loudly, "Yesterday I read that the woman was born in August 1966, Shi Tianzei read that she was born in March 1967, and it turned out that her ID card had a birth date of August 15, 1966! It was only off by one week from my reading!"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow and asked, "You're so amazing? You can accurately read someone's birthday, with a margin of error of just seven days?"

Hong Changqing snickered, "A frog in the well, I have plenty more tricks up my sleeve!"

Ye Chen shrugged his shoulders and stretched out his hand to him, saying, "Come on, let me take a look at your pulse. Tell me what my birth date is. And if you're off by more than seven days, don't say I didn't warn you!"

As Ye Chen threatened to pull out his ID card, he even went so far as to wave his hand in front of his face, making Hong Changqing feel like he was about to be torn apart into a thousand pieces. Because he had never suffered such humiliation in his life.

But when he thought about the important matters he needed to attend to in Jinling and the fact that leaving would mean sending someone else on behalf of the station, he couldn't help but suppress his anger in his heart.

Ye Chen saw his face turn iron-green, looking like a pressure cooker about to explode. He coldly sneered, "What's going on? Are you afraid to take my pulse now? I think you're just an old trickster who used fake healing skills yesterday! Otherwise, why wouldn't you dare to take my pulse?"

Ye Chen had always suspected that Hong Changqing might be setting him up with Shen Tianzei. Today, seeing him actually possess the eight-star martial arts, he was even more convinced of this suspicion.

An eight-star martial artist would definitely spend most of their time each day practicing their skills, and such a person would absolutely have no chance to become a top-level national doctor, regardless of any innate abilities they might have.

In this world, there are few Nobel Prize-winning scientists who can also master an instrument or artistic skill to the highest level. Similarly, there are few athletes who can train themselves to be world champions in their respective fields.

But has anyone ever heard of someone winning a Nobel Prize and simultaneously becoming a world-class pianist and Olympic champion?

Human energy is always limited, and since Hong Changqing is an eight-star martial artist, it's destined that he doesn't have too much time or energy to excel in other areas.

Right now, seeing Ye Chen continue to pressure him, Hong Changqing's heart became increasingly anxious.

Although he was a Daoist master and a prominent figure, he had spent many years focusing most of his energy on practicing martial arts, with some extra attention given to researching low-level elixirs. He hadn't delved deeply into the study of national medicine at all.

However, he wasn't completely ignorant of medical skills; after all, being a Daoist master and a prominent figure means he had some basic understanding of medicine. Compared to many national doctors who were limited by their level of knowledge, he was still stronger in this regard. It's just that when compared to masters like Shi Tianzhi, there was still a significant gap.

As soon as he set his eyes on Shi Tianzhi's clinic and thought about occupying Shi Tianzhi's nest in Jining and quickly establishing himself in the city, he began to think of digging a hole for Shi Tianzhi.

It was precisely because his medical skills were no match for Shi Tianzhi's that he deliberately brought some people along to help him compare skills with Shi Tianzhi. All the female patients who came yesterday to seek treatment were arranged by him, and as long as Shi Tianzhi agreed to compare skills, regardless of who Shi Tianzhi chose from among them as the standard-bearer, it was guaranteed that he would lose without a doubt.

At that time, he was always leading Shi Tianzhi by the nose, using eyewitness testimony to pressure Shi Tianzhi, and Shi Tianzhi had no consideration for this aspect whatsoever. JrNovels.com
