Chapter 187

"Oh my God, they actually know every single one!"

"This is incredible!"

Gasps of amazement filled the room. The guests and trainees watched in awe as Lucy White and Ethan Smith effortlessly identified each medicinal herb, even the most obscure varieties, along with their exact properties.

Dean Xavier adjusted his glasses, surprise flickering in his eyes. He had expected just another routine reality show recording, but instead, he found two genuine experts.

"Lucy is amazing!"

"Ethan is the GOAT!"

Cheers erupted around them. Everyone was thoroughly impressed by their professionalism, eagerly anticipating their leadership to guide the team through the challenges.

"Next up is the diagnosis segment," Dean Xavier said with a smile. "We happen to have a few patients willing to participate."

Lucy and Ethan exchanged a glance and nodded in silent agreement.

Soon, four patients were escorted in by the crew. To Lucy's surprise, Ian Stone was among them.

"This lady, please proceed to Dr. White's station," a staff member directed.

Without hesitation, Ian walked toward Lucy's table, while the other two male patients went to Ethan's side.

Ethan began his diagnosis first. His slender fingers rested on the patient's wrist, and within moments, he accurately pinpointed the ailment.

"Weak spleen and stomach, loss of appetite, accompanied by diarrhea..."

The patient's jaw dropped. "That's exactly right!"

The livestream exploded with comments:

[Ethan knows traditional medicine too?!]

[His pulse-reading technique is so professional!]

[I can't—what kind of celestial idol is this?!]

Dean Xavier took the prescription Ethan wrote, nodding approvingly. "Precise dosage, perfectly balanced formula."

When it was Lucy's turn, she first checked the female patient's pulse, then carefully observed her complexion and palms.

"Emphysema causing breathing difficulties, endocrine imbalance leading to weight gain..."

The patient nodded excitedly. "Yes, yes! Doctor, you're spot on!"

Lucy wrote two prescriptions—one for oral medication and another for a therapeutic soak. Dean Xavier's eyes lit up as he reviewed them. "Brilliant! Even I couldn't have formulated this."

"Dr. White, you're too modest," the dean praised. "This level of expertise is far beyond 'just a little knowledge.'"

Finally, it was Ian's turn. As Lucy placed her fingers on his wrist, her brow furrowed slightly.

"Angina?" she asked, detecting something unusual. "Have you recently lost consciousness too?"

A flicker of surprise crossed Ian's eyes. "You can tell that just from my pulse?"

The corner of his lips curled into a faint, enigmatic smile. He had only intended to get closer to her, but this unexpected discovery intrigued him.

"Dr. White," Ian murmured, lowering his voice. "Could we speak privately?"
