ng Yǎn), the plot of which he could no longer remember clearly. It seemed to be about people with Yin-Yang eyes who can see into both worlds.After watching the movie, Xiao Yu had researched quite a bi...Chapter 596: Preparing for Class

Hearing Xiao Yu say this, the old man let out a long sigh of relief, his heart finally at ease. He said, "Good, that's good........."

After Xiao Yu wrote the prescription, he instructed the old man to take it to the counter to pay.

The old man walked up to the cashier with the prescription and handed it to Li Qing. When Li Qing saw what was written on the prescription, she paused for a moment. She took out a piece of paper to note down some things before returning the prescription to the old man and telling him to go get the medicine!

Shortly after, the old man left Wan Sheng Tang with several bags of medicine. Xiao Yu didn't pay much attention to his departure since he had other patients waiting for treatment.

In the afternoon, they took turns eating their meals as there were so many people waiting. They couldn’t let all these elderly patients wait while they ate. Therefore, they could only take turns. Fortunately, it was lunchtime and fewer people came in, so they managed to keep up with the demand.

After a morning of treatment, things finally slowed down in the afternoon. By 3 or 4 PM, after Xiao Yu finished treating the last patient, he let out a long sigh of relief.

Once done with his patients, Xiao Yu asked Li Qing for the piece of paper she had written on.

After looking at what was written on it, Xiao Yu dialed a phone number. It didn’t take long before someone picked up.

"Hello, may I ask who is this" A woman's voice came from the other end as soon as the call connected.

"Hello, are you a relative of Mr. Wang Shirong" Xiao Yu asked quietly upon hearing her speak.

“Yes, I’m his daughter. Who may I ask is this”

“I am a doctor from Wan Sheng Tang. Are you able to talk freely now”

“Oh, it’s the doctor from Wan Sheng Tang! Yes, sure, please go ahead and tell me!”

"Come to Wan Sheng Hall for a bit! I have something to tell you, don't tell your father yet!"

"Mm... Okay."

The other party hesitated before responding and hanging up the phone. When Xiao Yu saw that they had hung up, he put away his phone.

"Master, what's going on" Upon seeing Xiao Yu hang up the call, Xiao Hongyang asked him. Since there were no patients left at Wan Sheng Hall now, everyone had heard when Xiao Yu made the phone call earlier. Moreover, it seemed like he was calling a patient’s family member, so they couldn’t help but ask.

Upon hearing Xiao Hongyang's question, the rest also turned to look at Xiao Yu. Earlier, there was a sentence written on Xiao Yu’s prescription: have Li Qing use the membership card to record down the contact number of the elder's family members. Not only did Li Qing find it strange, but even Yuan Chao and Er Xi were very puzzled as well. Why would Xiao Yu need their phone numbers Thus, when they heard Xiao Hongyang ask his question, everyone turned towards Xiao Yu.

"That elderly person earlier probably has lung cancer," said Xiao Yu softly after hearing the question from Xiao Hongyang.

It turned out that earlier when Xiao Yu took a look at the elder, he saw that there was a faint layer of grayish pallor on his face. Moreover, during pulse diagnosis, Xiao Yu also found that there was stagnation and accumulation in the lungs, which had not been dispersed for a long time. Furthermore, the elderly man’s tongue was pale and swollen with a white greasy coating. All these symptoms pointed to lung cancer. However, since he only coughed occasionally, it likely meant that his condition was still at an early stage!

Hearing Xiao Yu's words, both Xiao Hongyang and Old Dai couldn't help nodding their heads in agreement. They knew for sure that Xiao Yu’s diagnosis wouldn’t be wrong. Moreover, if they were to carefully take a pulse examination on the patient, they would also be able to see these symptoms.

Cancer was something everyone feared; there was no cure even now in this modern era, especially when it came to Western medicine. Even though surgery could help, it only meant removing the affected part while leaving behind the root cause of the cancer. This was why cancer easily recurred or spread to other organs.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) also didn’t have a cure for cancer; TCM practitioners could only adjust and balance bodily functions in hopes of achieving treatment results. Moreover, TCM treatments were very long-term, and even then, there was no guarantee it would be effective.

The minutes gradually passed as more patients left the hall. The remaining ones came alone from time to time. All these patients who came here glanced at Xiao Yu, Old Dai, and Xiao Hongyang before heading straight towards Old Dai. Before Old Dai’s arrival, they used to seek out Xiao Hongyang for medical treatment; now that Old Dai was there, all of them sought him.

Traditional Chinese Medicine became more popular the older one got; no one would go to Xiao Yu at Wan Sheng Hall for their first visit. Only regulars knew that despite being young, he was the most skilled doctor at Wan Sheng Hall.

About an hour later, a woman in her forties rushed in.

After entering, she scanned around and said, "I'm Wang Shirong’s daughter; which doctor called me just now"

After hearing what the woman had to say, Xiao Yu nodded and said, "I was the one who called you!"

"Doctor, may I ask why did you call me Is there something wrong with my father's health" Upon hearing that Xiao Yu was the caller, the woman walked up to his consultation desk and asked anxiously.

After a brief moment of contemplation upon hearing her question, Xiao Yu replied with a nod, "Yes, your father might have lung cancer, but it’s still in its early stages. It's best for you to take him to the hospital for a check-up!"

"Oh... Lung cancer Doctor, are you sure"

“Yes, I’m about eighty percent certain, although fortunately, it is still at an early stage!” Xiao Yu nodded in confirmation.

The woman’s face turned pale upon seeing the serious look on Xiao Yu's face and hearing his tone of certainty.

Her father had always been very healthy; how could he possibly have such a disease And her father never mentioned any discomfort. How did he get lung cancer then, especially when they didn't even have equipment here to diagnose it properly Could it be that the diagnosis was incorrect The woman thought to herself silently.

Although she felt puzzled, seeing Xiao Yu's demeanor, she believed him and thanked him before leaving Wan Sheng Hall.

The next day, she planned to take her father to the hospital for a check-up. After all, hospitals have instruments that could provide more reliable results. Furthermore, there was still some doubt in her heart about Xiao Yu's diagnosis since he had only seen her father just this morning and already told her that her father has cancer.

For the next few days, Xiao Yu’s life returned to its usual calmness. With Professor Dai around, Xiao Yu felt much more relaxed than before.

A week later, it was Monday again. Since there weren’t many patients at Wan Sheng Hall that day, Xiao Yu called Principal Qian and expressed his intention of attending classes in the afternoon, as he had promised Lao Zhuo, and a whole week had passed without him going to class yet.

Today being Monday and with not much business at Wan Sheng Hall, he decided to attend classes for the rest of the day.

In the afternoon, Xiao Yu drove to the College of Traditional Chinese Medicine. Usually, afternoons were more relaxed in the college, so there were quite a few people moving around between buildings when he arrived on campus.

After parking his car at the school’s parking lot, Xiao Yu called Principal Qian again and soon spotted him walking towards the parking area.

Vice Mayor Qian, although a deputy department-level official, did not dare to treat Xiao Yu with any disrespect. When someone came to the school to see him, he would even send his secretary to receive them as a courtesy; however, when Xiao Yu arrived, he dared not do so.

Qian also noticed the relationship between Grandpa Zhuo and Xiao Yu. He believed that if Xiao Yu said anything bad about him to Grandpa Zhuo, it could jeopardize his position. After all, Grandpa Zhuo had absolute authority over this Traditional Chinese Medicine College, and he could appoint anyone as president with just a phone call; everyone would have to respect his decision.

Vice Mayor Qian led Xiao Yu to a large lecture hall. Due to time constraints, Xiao Yu only taught one class in the afternoon, so Vice Mayor Qian canceled all classes scheduled for today and arranged it for Xiao Yu's TCM course.

There were still more than half an hour until the start of class, so after bringing Xiao Yu here, Vice Mayor Qian left at his request.

After Vice Mayor Qian left, Xiao Yu pushed open the classroom door and walked in. At this time, there was no one inside the room; Xiao Yu sat in the front row and waited patiently.

Xiao Yu's grasp of basic knowledge and theoretical knowledge about TCM was effortless, so he didn't prepare anything.

Sitting at the front, Xiao Yu quietly awaited while considering where to start teaching.

After some time, students began entering the room in groups. However, none of them lingered; they all walked straight to the back of the classroom.

Once these students sat down at the back, they occasionally glanced and whispered about Xiao Yu sitting at the front but soon lost interest.

The class gradually filled up, but everyone chose to sit in the back rows, leaving several empty seats at the front. To be precise, Xiao Yu was the only one seated there for the first three rows.

Shortly after, it was time for class. Xiao Yu felt that attendance wasn't bad this time around; while not many sat at the front, there were quite a few at the back. If Vice Mayor Qian hadn’t made efforts, half of these people wouldn’t have come.

Xiao Yu had graduated just over half a year ago and knew firsthand that only ten or so students would attend such classes in his time.

After checking the time, Xiao Yu noticed it was already class time, got up from his seat, and walked to the podium.

Standing at the front, looking down at the noisy classroom, Xiao Yu couldn't help but frown. Back then, their classes had been like this too; he didn’t think there was anything wrong with it until now. But as a teacher himself, he realized how disrespectful such behavior could be...)has declined and is almost extinct!" He then looked at Xiao Yu in surprise and asked: "Are you saying Zhang Dahan's injury is related to the martial arts world"Xiao Yu nodded and slowly explained: "Fr...
