Chapter 796: Abrupt rise, the most revered and respected

The large courtyard was instantly emptied of spectators. Even Chu Xifeng and Xu Donglin couldn’t hold back their curiosity and followed the crowd to see the third patient. Once again, only Han Yunxi, Gu Qishao, and Gu Beiyue were left behind. The first two stood on either sides of Gu Beiyue and stared at him in silence. Just then, Gu Beiyue had been completely calm, but this brief bout of staring left him feeling embarrassed soon enough. 

He coughed lightly and asked, “What are...what are you two doing?”

“Gu Beiyue...tsk, tsk tsk!” Gu Qishao rubbed his chin with interest, clicking his tongue nonstop.

“You....you….” Han Yunxi crossed her arms over her chest. She couldn’t stop saying “you.”

Gu Beiyue couldn’t resist a laugh. It wasn’t his usual polite and modest laugh, but one born of pure happiness. At last, they’d finished their battle at Medical City. 

That’s right, it was all over.

Gu Qishao suddenly slapped his hand on Gu Beiyue’s shoulder. “Brother, let’s go! It’s time to swagger!”

By the time the trio arrived at the courtyard, everyone parted automatically to give them a path. The three department heads and the judging panel had just emerged from the rooms and confirmed that the patient had recovered on his own without treatment. Such cases weren’t rare, as many patients were capable of self-recovery. But who would have expected such a strange and serious illness to be one of them? At any rate, Department Head Ouyang never expected it. His head hung as his annoyance was written all over his face!

If he hadn’t agreed like the trest to this competition and kept trying to treat his patient, he would have succeeded without even trying! Then he would have had one more chance to compete. Even if he couldn’t beat Gu Beiyue, at least he could have suppressed the other two department heads!

Department Head Ouyang was ready to run into a wall!

Han Yunxi and Gu Qishao walked behind Gu Beiyue as they traveled past the crowd. Everyone was focused on the doctor in front of them, their eyes now filled with pleasant surprise, admiration, and appreciation. If there was anyone who envied Gu Beiyue in the past, there was none of that now. He had thoroughly convinced them! His wisdom, cleverness, and exceptional medical skills had reached a realm beyond the level of jealousy. All they could do was look up to him. Even the three department heads had no more complaints. Department Head Ouyang had to admit that Gu Beiyue wasn’t acting before thinking either, nor did he cure the third patient simply with luck. 

With a few symptoms and sentences, Gu Beiyue had discovered that the patient could recover naturally. This was a definite proof of his skills. Han Yunxi and Gu Qishao both came to a tacit agreement to retreat quietly to the sidelines. She had a wry smile on her face: who would have thought that these were the results?

It was possible that this was a case of congenital disorder of glycosylation, but it could also be a psychological illness at play. The technical name for the illness was somatization disorder. Due to mental factors, the body behaved abnormally. The disease could last for a long time or recover after certain stimulation. Gu Beiyue’s diagnosis was completely normal. Whether this was a natural illness or a somatization disorder, it was up to the patient whether he recovered or died. Perhaps starvation was the tipping point to his cure. Han Yunxi was only filled with admiration towards Gu Beiyue!

He now walked forward by himself, his path belonging to him alone amidst the crowd of medical academy members and Apricot Woods Conference guests. Under such glory, his steps were measured and paced as always, his smile as light as a cloud. His refined white robes and elegant carriage, along with his temperate and mild, jade-like mannerisms in the face of his honor painted the true picture of a doctor.
