School Beauty's Peerless Soldier

"Hmm, don't worry, Mr. Guan…" Xu Fan nodded, comforted Mr. Guan for a moment, and then followed him into the ward.

"Mr. Guan, what brings you here?"

In the ward, a middle-aged couple saw Mr. Guan leading a group of people entering and immediately stood up.

"I came to see my old comrade-in-arms."

Mr. Guan forced a smile, walked to the bedside, and looked at the elderly man unconscious on the bed, shaking his head repeatedly, asking, "How is Old Liu doing now?"

"Not very well..."

The middle-aged couple replied somewhat disheartened.

Old Liu had just undergone surgery; otherwise, his complexion might have been even worse than it was now.

Mr. Guan looked at Old Liu on the bed, sighed, and said with a bitter smile, "Back in the day, if Old Liu hadn't taken a bullet for me, I wouldn't have survived till today. Don't worry, as long as I'm still breathing, I will definitely find a way to help you."

"By the way, this time, I've brought a Divine Doctor with me. Perhaps, he could cure Old Liu's illness."

After exchanging a few words with the middle-aged couple, Mr. Guan brought up the important matter.

The middle-aged couple, upon hearing about the Divine Doctor, were overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Really? Mr. Guan? When will the Divine Doctor arrive?"

"Uh, this..."

Mr. Guan, hearing their words, found it somewhat comical and said, "Haven't I brought him here already?"

"Ah? This..."

Mr. Guan's bodyguard was guarding the door. Apart from him, only Shimeng Guan and Xu Fan had entered.

The middle-aged couple's eyes turned to Xu Fan, and they awkwardly grinned.

Xu Fan was about the same age as Shimeng Guan, not yet twenty. These days, the Divine Doctors they had met were all old men in their seventies or eighties, each with an air of a transcendent being. In comparison, Xu Fan didn't look the part at all.

"Mr. Guan, this young man, isn't he too young?"

"Yes, he doesn't look like a doctor at all..."

The couple was clearly embarrassed, reluctant to let Xu Fan treat Old Liu, not daring to take the risk.

Mr. Guan didn't take offense; after all, even he had doubted Xu Fan initially.

He smiled and explained, "Don't judge him by his age. His medical skills are much more powerful than those doddering old men! He cured my illness, and I improved a lot. Trust me, let him take a look at Old Liu!"

"This..."

Although Mr. Guan praised Xu Fan highly, the couple still remained skeptical.

Yet, they couldn't just disregard Mr. Guan's reputation. After pondering for a while, the middle-aged man said, "Mr. Guan, we know you mean well, but I can't risk my father's life..."

"How about this: I'll ask my father's attending physician what he thinks?"

"This..."

The couple still maintained their skepticism towards Xu Fan, leaving Mr. Guan rather embarrassed.

Xu Fan, however, just smiled generously and said, "Mr. Guan, it's fine, I don't mind at all."

Seeing that Xu Fan wasn't upset, Mr. Guan breathed a sigh of relief and nodded, "Alright, if you don't mind, that's good."

Soon, the couple had called for Mr. Liu's attending physician.

Soon, a doctor wearing black-framed glasses entered the ward. After glancing at the many people inside, he asked, "Mr. Liu, were you looking for me?"

The middle-aged man nodded, then walked over to him and relayed what Elder Guan had said earlier.

"Pfft! What a joke."

After listening, the doctor burst into laughter, shook his head, and said, "Aren't you all too naive? To actually believe this young kid?"

He looked disdainfully at Xu Fan and then told Elder Guan, "Elder Guan, I understand your feelings right now, but you shouldn't resort to desperate measures. Mr. Liu's condition is quite peculiar, and if this youngster messes around, it might worsen his condition."

"This..."

Elder Guan felt rather embarrassed. He held Xu Fan in high regard and, after pausing, defended, "Little Wang, you shouldn't judge by age. Although Xu Fan is young, his medical skills are reliable, I believe."

Listening, the doctor smirked slightly but said nothing, shifting his gaze to Xu Fan.

"Young friend, I hear you practice medicine. So tell uncle, what kind of medicine do you study?"

His tone was as if teasing a three-year-old child, filled with mockery.

Xu Fan rolled his eyes and then said, "Your grandpa here studied traditional medicine."

"You!"

Xu Fan retorted without mercy, and the doctor immediately became furious!

After suppressing his anger, he scoffed, "Humph, whelp! Traditional medicine? That's just trickery!"

"Elder Guan, nowadays it's the era of Western medicine. What's traditional medicine but a scam? Why else would everyone use Western medicine now?"

"Think about it. How many traditional doctors have you consulted these days? Were they of any use? Not at all! What does this tell you? That all traditional medicine practitioners are scammers!"

"As for this kid, just a young punk, needless to say, definitely a charlatan. I advise you, you'd better not fall for his trick."

The doctor spoke in one breath, leaving Elder Guan feeling somewhat awkward.

Indeed, the traditional practitioners he had consulted over these days had been helpless about Mr. Liu's illness. Now, under the doctor's persuasion, he also began to doubt whether letting Xu Fan come was merely fooling himself...

"Elder Guan, there's something I want to do. I hope you won't stop me."

At that moment, Xu Fan walked out, and Elder Guan, noticing this, was momentarily stunned.

What did he want to do?

Soon, Xu Fan gave him the answer by slapping the doctor's face with his hand!

With a smack! The doctor staggered and stepped back several paces!

"You dare to hit me? Are you out of your mind?"

Dr. Wang covered his face, his eyes blazing with anger! If it weren't for the others present, he might have retaliated!

Xu Fan looked at him indifferently and snorted coldly, "What I hit was exactly this foreign-fawning creature, so what?"

"Traditional medicine is a heritage left by our ancestors; how can you dismiss it with a single word? If it were truly useless, how could it have been handed down to this day?"

As a legitimate heir to traditional medicine, witnessing a fellow Huaxia person discredit Huaxia's traditional medicine in front of him, how could Xu Fan not be angry?

Indeed, traditional medicine had declined compared to the past, but that didn't mean all traditional practitioners were scammers!

After taking a breath, he looked over at the doctor, his mouth quirking up, and said, "Since you deem traditional medicine useless, today I'll show you where traditional medicine surpasses Western medicine."
