Chapter 689: Chapter 689: Scandal

Fang Bai’s knowledge was vast and immeasurable, a veritable treasure trove. Although many things he knew were beyond what people in this world could learn, martial arts and medicine were something many could pursue and study; it’s just that their achievements varied.

Especially the medical knowledge Fang Bai possessed—it had many similarities with Huaxia’s traditional Chinese medicine of this world, and it was accessible for everyone to learn. Fang Bai hoped that more people would listen and learn his medical arts and then use that knowledge to save even more lives.

To Fang Bai, this was also a boundless act of merit.

As for Fang Bai himself, he was truly stretched thin, so tending to the sick was something he could only do when opportunity allowed; otherwise, if he were to stay in a hospital every day treating patients, he would have no time for anything else.

During his tenure at Yanjing Medical University, his lectures gained popularity for being engaging and aptly combining theory with practice, which attracted many students. Furthermore, Fang Bai’s strength was overwhelming, and after disciplining a few students who liked to skip classes or sleep during lectures, all the students became well-behaved. None dared to act out or play the fool during his classes.

Under Fang Bai’s guidance, the students in the two Chinese medicine classes at Yanjing Medical University became extremely motivated. In a short period, the vast majority had firmly memorized all the meridians, acupoints, and the structure of the various organs, greatly improving their professional level.

The more time Fang Bai spent at Yanjing Medical University, the more time he had to interact with his disciple, Xiong Yingxiong.

After each lecture, Fang Bai would take Xiong Yingxiong to the school’s artificial lake and to the small pavilion on Lake Heart Island, where he would explain the Martial Dao to him, illuminating his path.

Xiong Yingxiong, with his Innate Spiritual Root, had an understanding and perception of the Martial Dao that far surpassed that of an ordinary martial artist. Before long, he had achieved a breakthrough and become a Yellow Level Martial Artist.

Each time after teaching Xiong Yingxiong, Fang Bai would make a trip to Qin Yaorao’s dormitory to teach her the Martial Arts Techniques. Afterwards, Qin Yaorao would personally see him out of the dorm building, waving goodbye.

There was originally nothing amiss with Fang Bai visiting Qin Yaorao’s dormitory. However, someone, for reasons unknown, began spreading rumors alleging an improper relationship between the two, leading to whispers and gossip within Yanjing Medical University.

Even though Qin Yaorao had not been working at Yanjing Medical University for long, she had already become the goddess in the hearts of the entire faculty, particularly among some of the unmarried male teachers and professors, who harbored romantic intentions towards her, hoping to win her over. So, when it was rumored that Fang Bai was involved with Qin Yaorao, many envied and were jealous of him.

Professor Wang Xinglin, in particular from the Chinese medicine field, was especially active in spreading negative gossip about Fang Bai and Qin Yaorao, claiming they started a student-teacher affair back in Zhongzhou, tarnishing the school’s reputation, and that now their relationship was even hotter, openly behaving indecently in the teacher’s dormitory, as if he had seen it with his own eyes.

Such talk soon spread throughout the campus of Yanjing Medical University, becoming a common point of discussion among teachers and students. When Fang Bai and Qin Yaorao walked on campus, they could clearly sense people behind them, whispering and gossiping.

However, neither of them cared about such rumors, neither defending themselves nor objecting, simply ignoring the gossip as if it were wind beside their ears.

But it wasn’t long before these rumors were displaced by another piece of news.

No one expected that Professor Wang Xinglin, while walking around the artificial lake on campus at night, would accidentally slip into the lake and nearly drown. People managed to rescue and rush him to the hospital in time to save his life, but he was left mentally addled, babbling nonsense.

After medical diagnosis, it was confirmed that Wang Xinglin had suffered some mental issues, and it was recommended that he be sent to a psychiatric hospital for treatment.

When the news broke, it sent shockwaves through the entire student and faculty body.

People said that over the years, Wang Xinglin had not been short of flirtations with female teachers and deceiving female students, losing all professional ethics and decency. This was his retribution.

Others said that Wang Xinglin had maliciously defamed Professor Fang and Teacher Qin, and some students, unable to stand by, had secretly dealt him a blow.

Some even bluntly stated that it was Fang Bai and Qin Yaorao who had joined forces to do this in retaliation for Wang Xinglin’s unwarranted slander and malice towards them.

There were those aware of Wang Xinglin’s background who originally thought that this time the Wang Family of Yanjing would step in to seek justice for Wang Xinglin, and that Professor Fang and Teacher Qin would be in big trouble. Surprisingly, there was no response from the Wang Family, which was indeed incomprehensible.

Some perceptive people thought it over carefully and guessed that Fang Bai and Qin Yaorao must also have powerful backing, even the Wang Family didn’t dare to provoke them. That’s why they swallowed their pride and choked down the affront.

These events were like a few waves in the long river of time, churning for a moment before disappearing without a trace, and after a while, no one mentioned them again.

The "Wrathful Beauties," having experienced the battle in Las Vegas of America, suffered the loss of several Earth Level Martial Artists and considerable Essence Energy, resembling a wounded wild wolf that had retreated to its den, silently licking its wounds, recuperating.

In the month of March, the spring was bright and beautiful, with grass growing and orioles flying.

To further enhance the hospital’s reputation and also in response to the call from higher-ups, on a sunny day, Yanjing Hospital decided to organize a free clinic event in Yanjing’s People’s Square to treat the citizens for free.

Since the event would be attended by major media from all over Huaxia for interviews and filming, it was an excellent opportunity for publicity. Therefore, renowned experts from various departments of both traditional Chinese and Western medicine at Yanjing Hospital actively signed up to participate in the free clinic.

Fang Bai, now a leading figure in the traditional Chinese medicine department at Yanjing Hospital, was specially consulted by the hospital before the free clinic event to see if he was available to participate.

In Fang Bai’s view, the free clinic was a good deed benefiting the general public, so he agreed without much thought.

That early morning at eight o’clock, as the sun rose, a long row of consultation tables was set up in People’s Square. Each table was covered with a white cloth and spaced about two meters apart. Medical equipment such as thermometers, sphygmomanometers, stethoscopes, and so forth, were placed on them,

Renowned experts from various departments of Yanjing Hospital personally took their seats behind the consultation tables, ready to examine and prescribe medication for patients.

Behind these medical experts stood several young doctors, each with a notebook in hand, ready to take advantage of this opportunity to observe and learn.

However, Fang Bai’s approach differed from other medical experts. He left the consultation table to Wu Tian and others, instructing them to step forward to diagnose and treat patients in turn while he moved a stool and sat aside.

If everything went well with Wu Tian and the others’ diagnoses, Fang Bai would remain silent, only offering guidance when they made an error.

The news of the medical experts from Yanjing Hospital holding a free clinic had reached some patients the day before. They got up early today and came to People’s Square with their families to line up at the consultation tables, hoping to receive treatment from the famous doctors at once.
