Yang Feilong was gone.
But the students' discussion about Yang Feilong did not stop.
"Teacher Yang's medical skills are so superb!"
"Yes, many things that might require blood tests or MRIs at a hospital can be diagnosed by him through observation, listening, questioning, and pulse-taking. He accurately identifies the illness!"
"His academic qualifications might not be high, but his medical skills are definitely superb!"
"How do you know that?" someone asked.
"Because I searched online, and I've also seen the recruitment criteria for Blue Sea University recently. Besides doctoral students in medicine, they require extremely high attainments in medical skills. He clearly doesn't fit the category of having high academic qualifications, as he looks less than twenty years old. Therefore, his hiring here obviously indicates the excellence of his medical skills! We also witnessed his diagnostic class before; his medical foundation is extremely solid, and ordinary doctors couldn't make accurate judgments, yet he could precisely determine what illness our classmates had based on various factors!"
"That's right, I checked it just now too. His birthday is January 1st, so he's still under twenty!"
"Under twenty?" Hearing this, everyone gasped. They never expected Yang Feilong to be so young; before, they thought he just looked young but was at least over twenty.
Of course, before the class started, people might have wondered if such a person could teach diagnostic classes well. Now, that thought was gone because his medical skills had conquered them!
Meanwhile, Ouyang Yixue felt extremely scared. Especially after witnessing Yang Feilong's displayed medical skills, where he pointed out the ailments of those people in a few words, although they were minor illnesses.
Even though they were minor illnesses, it indirectly demonstrated Yang Feilong's medical prowess. Being a teacher at a top university like Blue Sea University without high academic qualifications further proved the brilliance of his medical skills!
Moreover, after going home yesterday, she had searched online, and her symptoms indeed matched those of breast cancer.
It was precisely because of this that she was afraid.
Today, after witnessing Yang Feilong's medical skills again and hearing his final, meaningful words, she understood that she might have contracted breast cancer.
This made her extremely uneasy and tormented. After the morning class ended, she told Lin Qiaoxi, "Qiaoxi, I won't be returning to the dormitory with you later. I need to go out!"
"Ah?" Lin Qiaoxi was taken aback. "Do you need my help?"
"No, thank you. If I can't return in time this afternoon, please help me ask for leave," Ouyang Yixue gave a forced smile.
"You're not really in trouble, are you? I feel like you've been preoccupied since Teacher Yang's class," Lin Qiaoxi looked at her close friend and roommate with concern.
"It's nothing serious," Ouyang Yixue chuckled.
"Alright then!" Seeing that Ouyang Yixue was unwilling to talk, Lin Qiaoxi could do nothing.
...
Blue Sea First People's Hospital. In an office, Ouyang Yixue pushed the door open and looked at the middle-aged woman before her, calling out, "Auntie."
As soon as she called out, she couldn't help but start crying.
"Xiao Xue, don't cry. Tell Auntie quickly what happened?" The middle-aged woman panicked immediately, comforting Ouyang Yixue while asking. She was Ouyang Yixue's aunt, Tian Fang, who had essentially raised Ouyang Yixue since she was a child.
The two were as close as mother and daughter. Seeing Ouyang Yixue cry now, she was more flustered than anyone.
"Auntie, I have breast cancer, *sob*." Ouyang Yixue took out a lab report, handed it to Tian Fang, and started crying again.
Tian Fang was struck by lightning. Breast cancer?
At this moment, she remembered something: neither she nor Yixue's mother had it, but their mother, Ouyang Yixue's maternal grandmother, had died of breast cancer.
Breast cancer had a certain hereditary probability, generally high for daughters, though not guaranteed.
But now, her niece Ouyang Yixue had contracted this disease.
"It's okay, let me see." Tian Fang forced a smile to comfort her and took the lab report. After a glance, she relaxed slightly, only a little. "Although it's not good to have the disease, yours is in the early stages, and there's a high chance of complete recovery."
In reality, she wasn't entirely confident when she said this, as the possibility of recurrence after surgery was not small!
"Do I need to have surgery?" Ouyang Yixue asked, her eyes red.
Although she knew it was cruel, Tian Fang nodded. "It's necessary."
Ouyang Yixue bit her lip. "I don't want to undergo surgery. If I do, will I still be me? Auntie, are there no other possibilities for a cure?"
"No!" Tian Fang shook her head, then paused. "Actually, it's not impossible. There are highly skilled divine doctors in this world. I've heard of an hermit-like master hidden in Baiyun Mountain. Few people have seen him, but the very existence of such rumors suggests it's not unfounded!"
"Baiyun Mountain? Auntie, are you sure?" Ouyang Yixue suddenly became excited.
"I'm sure, but this is just a rumor," Tian Fang said. Seeing Ouyang Yixue's excitement, she gave a wry smile. "Don't get your hopes too high. I can ask around to see if anyone has met him or can contact him."
But Ouyang Yixue didn't think so!
Qiaoxi told me she encountered danger in Baiyun Mountain and even laughed at Yang Feilong for claiming to be a hermit from Baiyun Mountain. Before, she hadn't taken it seriously; who would live in an undeveloped Baiyun Mountain?
But today, she was starting to believe it.
Yang Feilong, even if he wasn't the rumored master, was undoubtedly closely linked to that rumored master!
Because yesterday, Yang Feilong saw at a glance that she had breast cancer. Yes, the facts spoke louder than words, and the lab report had confirmed he wasn't lying.
At this moment, her heart was filled with guilt, regret, and self-blame. She had wronged Yang Feilong before. He might have known it would cause her revulsion, even curses, but he still said it. And at that time, she had only pointed him the way.
If it weren't for him, she might not have discovered her breast cancer until now, and by then, it might have progressed to the moderate or even late stages!
She knew that early stages offered hope for recovery, but in the moderate to late stages, especially the late stage, living for another two or three years would be considered fortunate!
At this moment, Ouyang Yixue had a lot on her mind.
"Xiao Xue, what are you thinking about?" Tian Fang looked at her, her expression fluctuating between worry and uncertainty. "Don't worry, Xiao Xue. Auntie will arrange for the best doctors in the hospital to perform your surgery!"
As the deputy director of the hospital, she had the authority to do so.
"Auntie, do you think someone, upon meeting me for the first time, could tell I was ill without physical contact, and specifically breast cancer?" Ouyang Yixue did not answer but asked.
"Impossible," Tian Fang shook her head. "This kind of thing requires physical contact, questioning, or blood tests."
"But someone has done it." Ouyang Yixue's eyes brightened. "Moreover, the reason I came for this test is because he told me I had breast cancer the first time we met and urged me to get checked. I even cursed at him."
"..." Tian Fang's eyes were filled with shock. "Are you telling the truth? Could this person have known you beforehand?"
"No, we met for the first time yesterday..." As she said this, Ouyang Yixue recounted what happened yesterday.
"In that case, his medical skills are indeed extraordinary, and he also possesses a benevolent heart," Tian Fang sighed. "It's a shame you didn't get his phone number, and you even cursed at him. He probably doesn't have a good impression of you!"
"Although I didn't get his phone number, I can still find him! Because I saw him again today, and he reminded me again!" Ouyang Yixue said, biting her lip.
"You actually have such good luck?" Tian Fang's eyes lit up with joy, then she added worriedly, "You didn't curse at him again today, did you?"
"No, no," Ouyang Yixue's face flushed red, and she shook her head repeatedly. At the time, she had wanted to curse him, but after all, he had saved her friend, and he was also her 'classmate.' Of course, she didn't know Yang Feilong was her teacher then.
"That's good then," Tian Fang breathed a sigh of relief.
"Auntie, he's from Baiyun Mountain," Ouyang Yixue said slowly, looking at Tian Fang.
Upon hearing this, Tian Fang first nodded, then trembled all over, unable to hide her surprise and joy. "Is he the rumored divine doctor? It's entirely possible that he could see your ailment at a glance!"
"Even if he's not the rumored Baiyun Mountain divine doctor, he's still closely related to that divine doctor! So, I plan to go find him and see if he has any way to treat it," Ouyang Yixue said, taking a deep breath.
"I'll go with you! Such a recluse master must be treated with utmost respect, no matter what!" Tian Fang said solemnly.
"No need, Auntie. I don't know if he likes people knowing about his medical skills. After all, if it gets out, he might not have any peace. What if he becomes disgusted and refuses to treat me?" Ouyang Yixue said earnestly.
"I see. Alright then, you go by yourself. Be polite when you speak, and absolutely do not anger him again!" Tian Fang pondered for a moment and instructed solemnly.
"Yixue understands."
"After you ask him, call me. If he has a way, that's best. If not, then we'll proceed with surgery as soon as possible. Delaying this disease by a single day increases the danger. It will be too late if it progresses to the moderate or late stages!" Tian Fang said seriously.
"Okay, I know. Oh, right, don't tell my parents about this yet. I'm afraid they'll worry."
"Okay! You can rest assured about that!" Tian Fang agreed after a moment's thought, deciding not to tell them for now until Ouyang Yixue had contacted the 'divine doctor.'
Afterward, Tian Fang gave some more advice, and only then did Ouyang Yixue leave.
"Alas, I hope the person Xiao Xue knows is a true divine doctor, otherwise..."
She dared not think further.
