Xyla felt very aggrieved and she was very unconvinced at this time. Therefore, she gritted her teeth before she said, "I want to compete with him and if he's really capable, I'll definitely apologize to him then.” 2
"How long are you going to keep up this attitude of yours?” Anthony yelled in anger as he stared at his granddaughter. 3
The middle-aged man from the Moore family was also stunned at this time. No one would have expected Charlie to have better strength and skills compared to the famous Dr. Simmons.
Reuben was also very confused at this time. What was Dr. Simmons saying? Did he mean that this young man actually had some skills? 2
How could this be possible?
Could they really rely on him?
Was Anthony really convinced by Charlie’s skills?
At this time, Charlie glanced at Xyla and he could tell that she was really unhappy. Her face was flushed red with anger and she had a very dissatisfied expression on her face. Charlie found that hilarious and hence, he asked, "How would you like to compete with me?” 5
"We’ll compete based on our medical skills, of course!”
Xyla replied as she rolled her eyes at Charlie.
However, she had a happier expression on her face as she continued speaking. "The basis of Chinese medicine is to see, hear, and tell. Therefore, we'll compete based on this fact! Everyone in this room has their own symptoms and discomfort and we'll both have to point out what is wrong with them! 3
They would not be allowed to check pulses and they would have to point out illnesses just by looking at their faces. This was very challenging indeed.
In fact, even Dr. Simmons might not be able to point out someone’s illness completely just by looking at their faces.
However, this was Xyla’s special ability. She had been by her grandfather’s side since she was just a year old and she had already seen more than tens of thousands of patients at this time. 2
She had an amazing memory and she could remember the symptoms of every 'illness' that she had ever seen, as well as classify all these illnesses into different classes. 1
Over time, she was able to tell the illness and condition of others simply by looking at their faces. 1
