"With Bai Ruozhu’s Divine Sense, there naturally won’t be any impact." The astrologer spoke timely.

Sure enough, the others looked at Bai Ruozhu with fear and respect in their eyes.

It’s important to know that ordinary people don’t enter the residence of astrologers because they might break into a cold sweat or even feel pressured to the point of falling to their knees. They’ve never seen anyone as relaxed as Bai Ruozhu.

Even Gao Zhou and Jiang Yichun, though displeased, were not significantly affected. These Zhongyuan people were truly extraordinary.

Bai Ruozhu thought, if my second brother were here, he might even fight back. Even Fo Lanying’s Divine Sense might cause some small disruptions.

The astrologer led the way, and the group arrived at the great elder’s room, where the great elder lay on the bed with eyes shut. Three doctors stood nearby, appearing anxious and at a loss.

"Patriarch, the great elder is seriously injured, but we can’t identify the cause. There are no obvious wounds on his body," said one doctor.

"You’ve worked hard; you can go rest now," said the astrologer.

The three doctors froze momentarily, thinking the patriarch was blaming them. But unexpectedly, he spoke calmly and even asked them all to leave. Then who would treat the great elder?

Only then did they notice the three outsiders and instantly realized, the patriarch likely brought a Divine Doctor from outside.

They instinctively turned their gaze to Gao Zhou. Gao Zhou was the oldest, looking like a Divine Doctor, while the other two appeared to be assisting him.

"Bai Ruozhu, I’ll trouble you then," the astrologer bowed to Bai Ruozhu with a very respectful attitude.

The three doctors who hadn’t left were stunned. What was happening? Was the patriarch bowing to that woman, who seemed no older than twenty?

"Alright." Bai Ruozhu replied, walked over, and started checking the great elder’s pulse, finally confirming the three doctors’ suspicions.

They looked at each other, and soon all three showed expressions of anger; this was an insult to them!

"Patriarch, even if you don’t trust us, you can’t casually bring a woman here to make up the numbers, this is the great elder of our clan, nothing can go wrong!" The leading doctor yelled. 𝙛𝓻𝒆𝒆𝒘𝙚𝓫𝙣𝙤𝒗𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝙤𝙢

The astrologer frowned, displeased, and asked, "Then can you treat him well?"

The question left the other speechless, and the doctor’s face blushed to his neck, "It’s our incompetence, but the great elder’s condition cannot have any negligence; how can you let such a young woman see him? I don’t believe there are no other doctors in Kyoto!"

"Indeed, perhaps we should invite some Imperial Doctors from the palace for consultation, patriarch, this matter cannot be taken lightly," another doctor said.

Bai Ruozhu observed the three, wondering why she always encountered people who stopped her from treating patients. Just because she looked too young, did people have to be so arbitrary?

Fine, she could understand these doctors’ concerns. In the realm of medical skills, apart from those with particularly high talent or distinguished mentors, generally, the older, the more experienced.

So she didn’t originally blame them, but they belittled her because she was a woman. What was this about?

"What’s wrong with being a woman? Weren’t you born by women, or did you crawl out of your father’s belly?" Bai Ruozhu retaliated unceremoniously, "I haven’t even started treating yet, and you’re already whining excessively, are you afraid if I cure him, it will slap your faces?"

"You, you..." The leading doctor was furious, his face flushed, looking to the astrologer, "Patriarch, listen to her, speaking so rudely, this person must be a River Jiang swindler, how can you let her treat the great elder? What if she’s here to harm the clan?"

Bai Ruozhu couldn’t help but laugh, "Do you have paranoia? Let me try to treat him, and you’ll know if I can cure or not. But I’m quite upset now, treating this illness isn’t a trivial matter; let’s settle this first, what if I do cure him?"

"You arrogant woman, it’s unlikely you can cure him. I think you’re trying to use the opportunity of treating him to harm the great elder!" The doctor shouted.

The leading doctor agreed, "You women rely on some allure to seduce people, what other skills could you possibly have?"

Bai Ruozhu chuckled, it was the first time she heard someone say she seduced people with beauty, was that a compliment?

Probably because she’s consistently shown strong abilities, few have mentioned her beauty.

"Outrageous, my wife is not someone you can slander! Don’t think that just because you’re in the astrologer family, I won’t dare do anything to you!" Bai Ruozhu wasn’t angry, but Jiang Yichun certainly was, the doctor’s insinuation was that Bai Ruozhu used allure to seduce the astrologer, thus the astrologer invited her to treat the great elder.

As soon as Jiang Yichun’s voice fell, the speaking doctor was thrown backward, and no one saw how he fell, leaving the other two doctors shell-shocked.

However, the second elder saw clearly, almost instantly, Jiang Yichun created a splash of water in the air, violently striking the doctor’s chest.

How, how is this possible!

The second elder was completely stunned. In the legends of Fusang, only the original deity who founded Fusang had such power.

"Enough, shut your mouths; they are my invited guests. If you continue to be disrespectful, leave the astrologer family, and never return!" The astrologer turned cold, his tone carried a killing intent.

Though it’s not easy for the family to cultivate a doctor, it doesn’t mean the astrologer can tolerate them insulting his friends repeatedly.

Bai Ruozhu spoke calmly, "Master Astrologer, don’t be angry; they don’t believe I can cure the great elder. If I successfully treat him, have them kneel and apologize to me, and retract their words about women being useless, how about it?"

"What if you fail to cure him?" A doctor stubbornly asked.

Bai Ruozhu snorted, could she possibly fail to cure him? If she wasn’t utterly confident, how would she bet with them?

Actually, upon entering, she understood the great elder’s condition. If it weren’t for these doctors causing trouble, she would’ve revived the great elder long ago.

She had stealthily sent Xiaomao out to inspect and confirmed that the great elder was indeed afflicted by a poisonous insect. His unconsciousness was due to him using inner strength to combat the insect. If treated improperly now, it would backfire, letting the insect control him.

Nonetheless, one must admit, the astrologer family’s great elder is extraordinarily powerful. If it were someone else, they wouldn’t have resisted the insect for so long and would have been controlled by now.

The Emperor initially had some resistance, thanks to Buddhist scriptures, but ultimately couldn’t withstand the insect’s power.

The leading doctor thought Bai Ruozhu’s laughter was due to arrogance and loudly said, "If you fail to cure him, you will kneel and apologize to us, and leave Kyoto immediately!"

"Enough!" The astrologer shouted sternly, "Bai Ruozhu is an emissary, not someone you can chase out of Kyoto!"
