Nan Qingqing’s eyes sparkled with amusement, "Tonight, Vice Chairman Gu intends to take on apprentices, why not have the two of them compete and liven things up?"
Meng Yi met Nan Qingqing’s gaze and instantly understood her intention.
She turned her head to look at the silent Gu Chuxin and humbly said, "Vice Chairman Gu, why not let me try? I’d like to receive some advice from the seniors here so that my medical skills can improve."
Gu Chuxin glanced at Meng Yi, who appeared honest and upright, and her willingness to stand out added to her favorable impression of him.
She then thought of the ten-thousand-year-old ginseng and her promise to Nan Qingqing.
Now was the perfect opportunity to go with the flow and let everyone witness the capabilities of the apprentice she was about to accept.
And this Nan Yu, although looking familiar, she had never heard the name before, confirming, just like they said, that she was just an ordinary country doctor.
Gu Chuxin’s voice took on a noticeable change, carrying a touch of pleasure.
"Alright, let’s have you two compete."
The others all agreed.
Li Chongbai, looking at the youthful Meng Yi, couldn’t help but blurt out a comment.
"Overestimating yourself."
Nan Yu held him back and boldly looked at them, "Since we’re heating things up, why not raise the stakes?"
Upon hearing this, Nan Qingqing sarcastically said, "Sister, you’d be doing well not to lose too badly, and yet you dare to bet with us?"
A placid gaze settled on Nan Qingqing from Nan Yu, "What? Scared?"
Meng Yi, thinking of Ghost Doctor by her side, couldn’t help but show off, "How could we possibly be scared? What do you want to bet on?"
Nan Yu glanced at them, then quickly shifted her gaze to Gu Chuxin beside her.
"Betting with you isn’t interesting, I want to bet with Vice Chairman Gu."
The room erupted in murmurs.
Nan Qingqing couldn’t help but sneer, "Sister, what do you think you are, to be worthy of betting with Vice Chairman Gu?"
A piercing cold gaze from Nan Yu landed on Nan Qingqing, leaving her stunned in place.
Subsequently, Nan Yu’s cool voice echoed throughout the entire banquet hall.
"If I lose, I will kneel and apologize to each of you in person."
"But if I win, I want Vice Chairman Gu to remove his mask and give it to me."
A smile graced her face, her eyes deep and remote.
"For fairness’ sake, tonight, not only Meng Yi, but everyone here can challenge my medical skills, with no limit to the number of people or times. As long as I lose to any one of you, at any time, I am willing to accept the consequences!"
Her voice thundered through the heavens.
It also thundered in everyone’s hearts.
"Truly courageous."
This was the first time Gu Chuxin looked straight at the woman before her.
She stared at that face, which seemed increasingly familiar, yet she couldn’t recall where she had seen it.
But Nan Yu’s temperament was extremely similar to her sister disciple, whom she had met only five times.
Just as annoying, just as arrogantly conceited!
"Since you want to bet, I accept. As long as you can win, I’ll give you this mask directly, I might even take you as my disciple."
Nan Yu looked at her coldly, "Taking me as a disciple isn’t necessary, I only want your mask."
Gu Chuxin raised her chin, "Let’s see if you have the skills."
She then looked towards Li Chongbai, standing next to Nan Yu, "Dean Li, that special case I sent you earlier, bring it out."
Li Chongbai, seeing Gu Chuxin’s obvious bias towards Meng Yi, showed a hesitant expression.
Nan Yu stepped forward, saying, "No, Uncle Li knows the case, and so do you, which means there’s a possibility of leaking the answers to us, and also it can’t be verified as correct. I suggest we change it."
Gu Chuxin narrowed her eyes, "What do you propose?"
In Nan Yu’s cool gaze, a glint emerged.
"Let’s do something more practical. Everyone here knows their own health the best, so let’s have both her and me take pulses to see who can diagnose the most accurately."
