Chapter 831: Chapter 834: Diagnosis
Upon hearing this, Xiaoxiao felt relieved, realizing that she had indeed been overthinking. Medicine King Valley is renowned, and it wouldn’t neglect the child’s medical care due to the unpleasantness at the entrance, especially with these masters present.
Before diagnosing, Xue Shi first asked, "Does the child have any symptoms?"
"The child shows no symptoms and everything seems normal. It’s just that a doctor in our area determined that the child was poisoned, claiming the child wouldn’t live past two months. That’s why we rushed to Medicine King Valley to confirm if the child is poisoned," Xiaoxiao replied honestly.
After hearing this, Xue Shi continued, "Then put the child down."
Following Xue Shi’s instructions, Xiaoxiao placed the child on one of the round tables in the hall. As soon as the child was down, Xue Shi proceeded to remove the child’s clothing, causing Xiaoxiao’s eyes to widen and quickly stop him, "What are you doing?"
"If it’s poisoning, sometimes it can be seen on the body," Xue Shi explained.
However, Xiaoxiao frowned deeply, worrying that the six toes might be discovered. She looked at Yang Ming with difficulty, contemplating whether to let them see it.
Yang Ming understood his wife’s concern but recognized that under the current circumstances, they had no choice but to allow the inspection. He believed with Medicine King Valley’s rules, they should keep it secret, so he nodded in agreement, "Please go ahead."
With approval, Xue Shi carefully examined the child’s entire body, along with four other disciples, who were under the five masters, to compare medical skills.
Due to the thorough examination of the body, the issue of the six toes was completely exposed, yet the five did not show any surprise on their faces. This was Medicine King Valley’s rule; when treating patients, any findings must remain confidential, not to be disclosed.
Moments later, all of them shook their heads at their masters, indicating there were no abnormalities.
No symptoms, no external anomalies, so they had to check the child’s pulse. Xue Shi placed his hand on the tiny pulse, feeling it clearly, but...
Soon after, the five took turns checking Little Liufu’s pulse. After examining, each one furrowed their brows, showing grave expressions, and shook their heads to their masters, "Master, disciple has failed to honor our school, cannot detect anything."
Upon seeing this situation, the stern Fourth Uncle was the first to speak, "Is it not poisoning?"
"Master, whether poisoned or not, I cannot say, but the child’s pulse is indeed unusual, not like an ordinary person’s pulse."
Hearing this, the Fourth Uncle panicked, sending out skilled disciples unable to see anything. He hurriedly shouted, "Let others take a look."
The situation also alarmed the other four masters within the room; an abnormal pulse suggested the child most likely had a problem. Yet, the disciples couldn’t identify where, which was strange, especially the outside doctor accurately stating the child was poisoned. Could it be that Medicine King Valley’s medical expertise was truly this lacking?
Swiftly, different disciples were brought in to diagnose Little Liufu, but the results were equally disappointing.
One disciple after another checked Little Liufu, yet there was no result. Xiaoxiao was on the verge of tears, had the people of Medicine King Valley truly been unable to discern anything?
A moment later, Xue Shi’s master spoke, "Could you both take the child to rest first and allow us Medicine King Valley to discuss the illness?"
Yang Ming and Xiaoxiao exchanged a look, realizing there was no other option, they could only agree, "Alright, thank you, masters."
