Chen Qingdi, however, had turned in his form early, taking less than two minutes. He simply walked past the items, gave them a single look, and didn’t bother smelling them a second time.
Aside from Chen Qingdi, most of the others smelled everything a second time. After all, they weren’t one hundred percent confident in their answers.
Seeing Chen Qingdi already sitting off to the side and waiting, Lu Bei Army couldn’t help but notice the young man.
"This kid is quite interesting."
Lu Bei Army said to a steward at his side.
The Zheng Family was large and influential, so naturally, they had quite a few stewards.
"Yes, he seems very composed."
"If he can get them all right, perhaps there’s really hope for Young Master Zheng."
This steward said.
"Mm, let’s wait for the final results before we say anything."
Lu Bei Army said.
After the ten minutes were up, everyone sat nervously in the seats on the side, waiting.
Only Chen Qingdi was completely calm.
"Brother, do you think you got them all right?"
Song Qingguang asked quietly, sitting down next to Chen Qingdi.
"I should have. I don’t think there was much of a problem."
"What about you, Song?"
Chen Qingdi looked at Song Qingguang.
"I’m not one hundred percent confident in myself."
"I’ll be happy if I got them right, but if I got them wrong, that’s to be expected."
"I just came here to give it a try."
Song Qingguang said.
"Alright, then let’s just wait for the final results."
Chen Qingdi said.
Soon, Lu Bei Army announced the final results.
Neither Song Qingguang nor Ruan Shuqi had answered everything correctly, so they were eliminated.
Only two people had gotten everything right: one was Chen Qingdi, and the other was a famous local doctor, Zhuge Yunduan.
Zhuge Yunduan was from the Martial Medicine Association. He was a high-rank Martial Physician and held a certain status within the association.
For comparison, Gong Liangbu was still only a mid-rank Martial Physician and had not yet successfully reached the high ranks.
Martial Physicians also had different ranks.
After reaching the high rank, a Martial Physician could become part of the Martial Medicine Association’s management, wielding real power.
Zhuge Yunduan was overjoyed when he heard his name called.
He shot a disdainful glance at Chen Qingdi, thinking, ’This kid is definitely no match for me. He’ll be eliminated in the next round for sure.’
"Except for the two who have successfully advanced, everyone else is eliminated. You may leave."
Lu Bei Army announced directly.
Although they were filled with reluctance, failure was failure, and they could only depart.
As Song Qingguang and Ruan Shuqi were leaving, they expressed their good wishes for Chen Qingdi, hoping he would make it to the end.
Chen Qingdi expressed his thanks.
After the eliminated participants had left, Lu Bei Army led Zhuge Yunduan and Chen Qingdi to another room.
Inside the room were several decrepit old men.
Their faces were all pale; at a glance, they looked like seriously ill people.
"Find the one among them who is pretending to be sick. You may begin now."
"Each person has ten minutes. Who wants to go first?"
Lu Bei Army glanced at Chen Qingdi and Zhuge Yunduan.
"I’ll go first."
Zhuge Yunduan said, full of confidence.
"Alright, then Zhuge will go first."
Chen Qingdi had no objections.
"In that case, Chen Qingdi, you come out with me first. You can’t see what’s happening inside."
Lu Bei Army said.
"Alright."
Chen Qingdi agreed and followed Lu Bei Army out.
After observing for a little while, Zhuge Yunduan quickly identified the old man who was faking his illness.
"I’ve found him."
Zhuge Yunduan’s voice came from inside.
"Good. Just write your answer on the computer tablet up front."
Lu Bei Army said.
Soon, Zhuge Yunduan finished writing his answer and came out.
"It’s your turn."
Zhuge Yunduan said, glancing at Chen Qingdi.
Chen Qingdi nodded and walked straight in.
After entering, Chen Qingdi’s gaze swept over the decrepit old men before him, and he immediately identified the one who was faking his condition.
The old man pretending to be sick was actually a Martial Arts Master. He had concealed the True Energy in his body and deliberately disordered his meridians to create the appearance of illness—all an act of his own design.
Chen Qingdi walked directly to the answer tablet and wrote down his answer.
Then he walked straight out of the room. The entire process took less than a minute.
Zhuge Yunduan was still wondering to himself, ’Can that kid, Chen Qingdi, even get it right?’
Just then, he heard a CREAK as the door opened, and Chen Qingdi strode out.
"So fast? Are you sure you found the right one?"
Even Lu Bei Army was a little doubtful.
"Mm. A physician observes, listens, asks, and takes the pulse. A Great Physician can diagnose an illness simply by observing a patient’s appearance."
Chen Qingdi said with a smile.
"Alright, let me see your answers."
Lu Bei Army said with a smile.
With that, he went straight inside to check their two answers. A moment later, Lu Bei Army walked right back out.
"Congratulations. You both answered correctly."
"Please, follow me."
Lu Bei Army said.
Hearing Lu Bei Army say this, Zhuge Yunduan was completely stunned.
"You kid... you actually got it right too."
Zhuge Yunduan looked at Chen Qingdi.
"If Zhuge can get it right, it’s only natural that I can too."
Chen Qingdi said with a faint smile.
"Fine. I’d like to see just how capable you really are."
"When we see Young Master Zheng in a bit, will you be able to diagnose his condition?"
Zhuge Yunduan asked.
"Whether I can or not is something I’ll only know after seeing him. I can’t make a judgment now."
Chen Qingdi said.
This Zhuge Yunduan clearly looked down on Chen Qingdi.
After all, he was a high-rank Martial Physician from the Martial Medicine Association and felt himself to be superior.
He was determined to win the benefits promised by the Zheng Family this time.
But then Chen Qingdi had come out of nowhere, which displeased him greatly.
Lu Bei Army ignored the dispute between the two, simply smiling as he walked ahead to lead the way.
Soon, Lu Bei Army led them into a massive living room.
A man was sitting on the sofa in the living room. Upon seeing him, Lu Bei Army bowed.
"Patriarch, I have brought you the two who passed the tests."
Lu Bei Army said.
The man he addressed was the Patriarch of the Zheng Family, Zheng Shifang.
After hearing Lu Bei Army, Zheng Shifang turned his gaze toward Chen Qingdi and Zhuge Yunduan.
"You must be Mr. Zhuge."
"I’ve seen you before at the Martial Medicine Association."
Zheng Shifang said, glancing at Zhuge Yunduan.
"Thank you for remembering me, Patriarch Zheng."
Zhuge Yunduan was extremely arrogant, not forgetting to shoot a glance at Chen Qingdi even at this moment.
But Chen Qingdi paid no mind to Zhuge Yunduan’s arrogant gaze.
Zheng Shifang slowly stood up. He first walked up to Zhuge Yunduan and shook his hand.
Then he walked over to Chen Qingdi and shook his hand as well.
