A chill rose from the old man's heart, but he wasn't completely convinced. "Young man, forgive me my presumption, but how could you possibly know that?"

What Qin Haodong said was totally true, and he had believed most of it. However, he was very surprised that the young man had not taken his pulse, nor any other form of examination. How could he be so sure of his diagnosis?

"I am a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine. Chinese medicine adopts four methods of diagnosis, namely looking, listening, questioning, and feeling the pulse, and I just used the method of looking."

"Grandpa, don't listen to his nonsense," said Wushuang. "There isn't any Chinese medicine doctor that is so young, and even if he is a traditional Chinese doctor, he can't reach the level of "looking" diagnosis. Even the medical master Zhang Tianhe needs to take your pulse when making a diagnosis, let alone a small doctor like him."

"Small doctor? What makes you think I'm small?" Qin Haodong laughed at the girl and said, "If I told you that Zhang Tianhe once tried to apprentice himself to me, but I refused, would you believe it?"

"You're full of nonsense! How could Master Zhang apprentice to you? It's more plausible that you apprenticed to him." She then turned her head and said to the old man, "Grandpa, I think this man has ulterior motives. He must have inquired about your condition in advance and came here to deceive us. Otherwise, how could he appear just when we are buying ginseng? What a coincidence!"

"You mean I'm a swindler?" Qin Haodong asked.

"Isn't it obvious? You are a swindler and a stupid one! Do you think you can deceive us by inquiring about my grandpa's illness from other sources? You wish!" she said with great certainty.

"Since you believe that I previously inquired about your grandfather's illness, I'd like to diagnose something that I couldn't possibly have asked anyone about," Qin Haodong said, with his eyes rapidly surveying the woman.

"Wh-what are you going to do?" Despite being fearless, Wushuang was now a little nervous. This man made her feel uneasy in a way she ever had before.

"When you were 13 years old, you had your first menstruation, but because you're a warrior and channel Yin Qi, the amount of bleeding was not much.

"Since last year, you began to experience abdominal pain and blood clot spills during menstruation. Today is the third day of your menstruation. You must have had abdominal pain and taken brown sugar water to drive away the cold. Is that correct?"

"A-a-aha?" was all the response Wushuang could manage. She looked at Qin Haodong's face in horror. She hadn't even mentioned this to her parents! Was he a devil?

"How about it? Am I right? Or do you still think I found this out from someone else?" Qin Haodong said with a grin.

"Bastard!" Her cheeks flushed. How could anyone have told him about that? She stepped aside without any further response.

At this time, the old man had seen that Qin Haodong, with such amazing medical skill, was by no means an ordinary person. Being the warrior he was, he took decisive action.

"My friend, I apologize for any offense caused by my doubts." He set the big red box on the table and pushed it toward Qin Haodong. "Magic doctor, thank you for saving my life. This ginseng is just a little token to show my respect to you. Please accept it!"

Qin Haodong took the box without hesitation.

The salesman next to him was baffled. Who was this man? In under three minutes, he'd convinced someone to give away medicine worth five million yuan — it was even offered with both hands!
