After my luck was stolen, I led my whole family to defy fate and change our destiny.

Thinking of this aunt's amazing actions, Gu Liyao dared not accept her generous gift.

In the other cubicle, Dr. Li was marveling, "Gu Liyao is truly remarkable; he even managed to coax that difficult young man away."

After saying that, he turned to his female apprentice beside him and said, "Gu Liyao is so talented and works so hard. You should learn from him."

Shen Qingqing clenched her fists tightly in her palms: "I understand, Master."

Other masters teach their apprentices how to diagnose, but my master won't let me do it.

It's only because she's a woman that she could sit down and take pulses and diagnose patients.

"Okay, go check on the medicinal herbs in the backyard."

Shen Qingqing's lips were slightly parted, her fingers twirling in front of her, and she stood still.

Doctor Li turned around: "What's wrong? Aren't you going?"

Shen Qingqing said aggrievedly, "Master, I can feel a pulse now. Let me try. Gu Liyao is already doing it."

Dr. Li frowned: "How can you compare to Gu Liyao? Gu Liyao has studied longer than you, and he's more talented. You're only here to study medicine because of Gu Liyao."

Shen Qingqing picked at her fingernails: "Why can't I? Didn't you praise me for doing well? How can I not compare?"

Just because she is a woman, does she look down on herself and think she is inferior to Gu Liyao?

Upon hearing her impulsive words, Dr. Li regretted taking her in for a moment. If it weren't for her family's financial difficulties and her secret involvement with the charity, he wouldn't have accepted her.

Which apprentice doesn't learn for several years before they start feeling pulses?

Shen Qingqing pleaded, "Master, please, let me examine you."

"This……"

Seeing that the other party's expression had softened somewhat, Shen Qingqing continued to plead, "Please, Master, I can't make decisions on my own. You're right here with me. I'll do it once, and then you can do it again, okay?"

Old Li sighed: "You're too eager for quick success."

"Just this once. If my skills aren't good enough, I'll definitely immerse myself in learning and continue studying diligently."

"Then why don't you give it a try?" He also wanted to see just how much difference there was between Shen Qingqing and Gu Liyao.

Shen Qingqing sat down eagerly, and a patient wearing a straw hat sat down. She looked at the young doctor in front of her and spoke with a hint of disdain.

"I don't want you to come see me. Go away. You can't treat my illness."

Shen Qingqing couldn't stand such dismissive words as soon as she sat down: "I haven't even taken your pulse yet, and you haven't even said where you feel unwell, so how can you say I can't take it?"

Gu Liyao, who had no patients around, took the opportunity to stretch his muscles and listened to the noise from the side.

Wow, Qingqing has made great progress! She's even started taking her own pulse.

The woman said, "I advise you not to humiliate yourself. I said you can't watch it, and that's final."

Shen Qingqing was indignant. Gu Liyao had seen so much, but she was questioned as soon as she sat down. Why was that?

These people are just ignorant. They only see her as a woman, but she is in no way inferior to Gu Liyao.

Shen Qingqing said confidently, "Don't worry, I can definitely heal you. Even if you don't believe me, my master is right here, isn't he?"

Old Li frowned slightly but didn't say anything. In his decades of medical practice, he had never dared to say that he could definitely cure a patient without taking their pulse or knowing anything about them.

The woman raised an eyebrow: "Fine, you said it."

The woman stretched out her arm.

Shen Qingqing placed her hand on the woman's pulse, frowned, and then moved her hand to another spot. How could this be?

Her heart suddenly started racing.

She gestured for the woman to extend her other hand: "Miss, could you please use your other hand?"

The woman obediently switched hands: "How is it?"

Shen Qingqing's forehead was covered in a thick layer of cold sweat. She raised her hand to wipe it away, her heart beating faster and faster. She suddenly jumped up from her seat.

"What kind of monster are you? How can you have no pulse?"

The woman's face beneath her straw hat instantly darkened: "You dare to take on a task you're not qualified for? Incompetence is incompetence."

The guards on either side drew their swords, shouting, "How dare you offend our young lady! You have a death wish!"

Shen Qingqing took a step back in terror: "Master, she's a monster, a zombie! Quickly report to the authorities!"

Gu Liyao heard the noise and immediately came in: "What's wrong?"

Upon seeing Gu Liyao enter, Shen Qingqing immediately hid behind him and pointed at the woman, saying, "Brother Liyao, this woman is a monster! She has no pulse!"

The head maid, hands on her hips, was furious: "If you dare to spout nonsense again, don't blame us for being impolite! You've repeatedly called our young lady a monster, damaging her reputation. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

Shen Qingqing pouted: "I didn't say anything wrong. How can a living person not have a pulse?"

By this time, a large crowd had gathered. Old Li wanted to say something, but Song Cheng grabbed his arm and said, "Let them handle it themselves first."

Gu Yu'an came over carrying Gu Linglong. It was strange; it was the first time he had ever seen someone without a pulse.

Gu Liyao was stunned for a moment. A living person with no pulse?

Both men stepped forward and drew their swords. Shen Qingqing, hiding behind Gu Liyao, trembled and dared not speak.

Gu Liyao turned around and reassured Shen Qingqing, "You stay here for now."

Shen Qingqing moved further back.

Gu Liyao stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Junior Sister is young and her behavior and words are inappropriate. As her senior brother, I apologize to Miss on her behalf."

Seeing that the man's attitude was acceptable, the guard took a step back: "Tell me, what are we going to do about our young lady's reputation being damaged?"

"May I take your pulse?"

The guard looked at his young mistress, and seeing her nod, he stepped back behind her.

"excuse me"

"It's alright. I came here because of your reputation. Not only did I not get treatment, but my reputation was also damaged. So let's just smash up the shop and stop you from causing trouble for people."

Gu Liyao's eyelids twitched. He had just seen off one crazy man who smashed up the shop, and now another crazy woman was coming to smash up the shop.

Gu Liyao sat down and placed his hands on the woman's hands, frowning slightly. Strangely, there was indeed no pulse.

"Miss, could you please switch hands?"

The woman switched to her other hand.

Gu Liyao frowned. This was so strange. He seemed to have seen it in an ancient book. This pulse pattern was one in ten thousand, but he couldn't quite remember it.

It seems to be called the Oblique Flying Meridian. Gu Liyao followed the meridian, but there was nothing there.

How is this possible?

Gu Liyao's back was covered in a layer of cold sweat.

Could it really be a monster?

The woman raised an eyebrow slightly. This little apprentice actually had some skill; what a pity…

Looking at Gu Liyao's expression, Shen Qingqing felt relieved. If she couldn't figure it out, how could Gu Liyao?

That's simply impossible!

Gu Linglong's eyes widened. [No pulse? Could it be the legendary oblique pulse or reverse pulse? The oblique pulse can be felt along the meridian protrusion, and the reverse pulse was almost on the back of my hand.]

I've never felt a pulse like this before, I really want to try it.

Just as Gu Liyao was about to raise his hand to withdraw, he heard his younger sister's thoughts and immediately understood.

He traced the veins on the back of his hand, one by one, until he felt the pulsating pulse and breathed a sigh of relief.

Reversed pulse!

The woman was slightly surprised and glanced at Gu Liyao. How could such a young doctor be able to feel her pulse?
