An old man with snow-white hair walked over: "I know a little about acupuncture!"

This old man wasn't tall, and since he stood at the back of the crowd, Lin Tian wouldn't have seen him if he hadn't stepped forward himself.

"Mr. Chen, you..."

Wu Genren heard the voice and turned his head. He was halfway through his sentence when the old man's piercing gaze silenced him.

"Is this old man someone significant?"

Clearly sensing the change in the old man's eyes, Lin Tian wondered to himself.

He couldn't help but take a closer look at the old man and asked, "Are you a practitioner of ancient medicine?"

Dressed in appropriate traditional Chinese clothing, the old man wore ordinary old Kanyue City cloth shoes. Although his hair and beard were slightly white, he was full of energy and vigor.

A typical case of an old soul with a young heart.

The old man was very humble: "I wouldn't call myself a practitioner of ancient medicine; I just know a little acupuncture!"

Ancient medicine is vast and profound, passed down for tens of thousands of years.

The old man was humble because he only knew a bit of skin-deep knowledge, showing a deep understanding of ancient medicine, which is why he didn't dare to claim the title!

If you dare to claim to be an ancient doctor, you must have the level to deserve the title. Otherwise, you're just tarnishing the name of ancient medicine.

Lin Tian pointed to Bai Shishi, who was in great pain: "I know what illness he has, but I can't treat it!"

"Lin Tian, are you sure you're not joking?"

Bai Shishi was in such pain that cold sweat broke out all over his body.

Lin Tian could treat the illness; wasn't that a joke?

If everyone were that miraculous, what would be the need for hospitals and doctors?

Lin Tian irresponsibly said: "If you're still in pain after we try my method, we'll go to the hospital!"

"I knew it!"

Bai Shishi smiled bitterly, suddenly feeling like a little mouse about to be experimented on.

"You don't have full confidence, and you dare to do this? Let me do it!"

"I am a doctor from the Kanyue City Medical University Affiliated Hospital!!!"

Wu Genren said, also taking care not to overlook the old man, showing obvious concern for his presence.

"Miss Bai, hold on, I'll treat you now!"

Lin Tian turned to the old man: "I'll point to the acupoints, and you do the needling!"

"Alright!"

The old man nodded, a faint smile on his lips.

"Good, I'm looking forward to it!"

Wu Genren didn't stop them. Letting Lin Tian treat Bai Shishi first and stepping in when Lin Tian failed would highlight his superior medical skills. It would also leave a favorable impression on Bai Shishi in a subtle way.

Lin Tian said no more, squatting down and placing one hand on Bai Shishi's calf while feeling for a spot on the front side of her calf with the other.

"It's here!"

The acupoint Lin Tian found was the appendix point, which is one of the miraculous points of the Eight Extraordinary Meridians, known for effectively treating acute and chronic appendicitis.

In some countries, they perform appendectomies on infants right after birth to prevent appendicitis, and now Celestial Dragon Continent also requires surgery for appendicitis. But with over 5,000 years of civilization on the Celestial Dragon Continent, appendicitis couldn't have been nonexistent all this time. So how did the ancients manage without surgery and remain free of disease?

This is something worth pondering.

The old man, without waiting for Lin Tian's directions, magically produced a silver needle in his hand. With swift precision, he needled the appendix point. His wrinkled hand held the silver needle, gently rotating it.

"Young man, did I needle it correctly?"

The old man didn't forget to ask.

"Yes!"

Lin Tian nodded, keeping his eyes fixed on Bai Shishi's body.

The black aura gathered around her appendix slowly dissipated.

"Wow, my stomach doesn't hurt anymore!"

Bai Shishi's furrowed brow relaxed, and she exclaimed joyfully.

"As long as it doesn't hurt!"

Lin Tian took a deep breath, grateful there was someone who understood acupuncture present.

"Since it doesn't hurt, make sure to eat three meals a day on time in the future. Your sudden appendicitis this time was because of irregular eating habits!"

The old man put away the silver needle, folding his hands behind his back.

With just one needle, he had discerned the cause of the illness, proving his profound medical expertise.

"Got it!"

Bai Shishi lowered her head like a child caught misbehaving: "Sometimes, I only eat one meal a day!"

"You're really lucky!"

Seeing Bai Shishi recovered, Wu Genren said with a sullen face.

He had intended to showcase himself in front of Bai Shishi today, but now that she was cured, how could he do so?

If Mr. Chen hadn't insisted on helping Lin Tian, how could Lin Tian have treated Bai Shishi on his own?

But Wu Genren didn't dare offend Mr. Chen, so he could only vent his frustration on Lin Tian.

Lin Tian's response was even tougher: "Sorry, I don't know you!"

This statement flustered Wu Genren, making his face red with embarrassment. Ultimately, he was just a stranger, unlike Lin Tian, who was already acquainted with Bai Shishi.

"Forget it, Lin Tian. He was only trying to help!"

Bai Shishi quickly intervened to stop the argument.

"Hmph!"

Wu Genren snorted coldly, then looked at Bai Shishi and said tenderly, "Lovely lady, may I have the pleasure of knowing you?"

"Just as I thought!"

As a fellow man, Lin Tian had already seen through Wu Genren's pretense of wanting to treat Bai Shishi; it was really an attempt to make a romantic advance!

So what now?

The fox's tail had been revealed!

Lin Tian found Wu Genren pitiful because he was about to be rejected!

Who was Bai Shishi?

A strong woman who wouldn't easily give in!

"No need, I'm not interested in you!"

Bai Shishi's cold voice was like a slap to Wu Genren's face.

"Miss Bai, you're not feeling well, let's not waste time anymore. It's better to go back and rest sooner!"

As he spoke, Lin Tian helped Bai Shishi up from the ground.

"Thank you!"

Lin Tian was sincerely grateful for the white-haired old man's assistance.

Although the white-haired old man and Wu Genren were among the crowd, it was quite clear that the two weren't on good terms, otherwise, he wouldn't have stepped forward to help them.

"It was nothing, no need to be polite!"

"However, young man, you surprisingly know acupoints at such a young age, quite interesting!"

The white-haired old man gently stroked his beard and walked away into the distance.

The crowd that had been surrounding them immediately followed the old man as he left, and Wu Genren stayed back only to find the situation awkward, so he quickly followed behind.

"Miss Bai, are you alright?"

Once everyone had left, Lin Tian asked with concern.

"I'm fine, maybe I haven't rested well these past few days, which, along with irregular eating, triggered appendicitis!"

Bai Shishi said as she walked, rubbing her lower abdomen.

"Take care of yourself!" Lin Tian supported Miss Bai as they walked forward.

Suddenly, Lin Tian remembered what Wu Genren had said: "Miss Bai, can I ask you something!"

"Go on?"

"Is the Kanyue City Medical University Affiliated Hospital very reputable?"

Recalling Wu Genren's proud demeanor while introducing himself, Lin Tian couldn't help but ask.

Actually, Lin Tian asked this question partly because the hospital's name included Kanyue City Medical University.

"It's the most prestigious hospital not only in Kanyue City but in the whole country. What do you think?"

Bai Shishi said solemnly: "That Wu Genren, being able to work at the Kanyue City Medical University Affiliated Hospital at such a young age, must be highly skilled in medicine!"

"By the way, weren't you planning to apply to Kanyue City Medical University?"

Bai Shishi suddenly remembered Lin Tian's college entrance exam plans...
