Xiao Meng's development in traditional Chinese medicine was relatively balanced, meaning she knew a little about everything but had no particular area of expertise.
Therefore, her acupuncture skills were on par with her knowledge of herbs and her pulse-reading abilities.
Facing the man's condition, she couldn't help but feel it was tricky, and she had no clue what to do, not knowing how to proceed.
She considered using conventional methods for treatment, but after much thought, she felt it would be an irresponsible approach.
After all, the man's eye condition had reached such a severe stage. If she made even the slightest mistake, it could worsen his condition.
And if she had to bear the consequences, she didn't believe she could handle such pressure.
Holding the silver needles, Xiao Meng hesitated to make a move.
After several minutes of hesitation, the pressure finally overwhelmed her.
Her hand trembled slightly, and the silver needle fell to the ground. Her face paled slightly as she said, "I can't do it. I've decided to give up."
Wu Tian couldn't help but feel surprised.
He hadn't expected that a spirited girl like Xiao Meng would also choose to give up.
However, on second thought, he didn't find it too surprising.
After all, the man's eye condition was truly extraordinary. It was normal for Xiao Meng to find it difficult to proceed.
Xiao Ding was not surprised by this outcome and was not disappointed.
He stepped forward, patted Xiao Meng's hair, and said, "You've already done remarkably well to get this far. Now, you should get some rest."
Xiao Meng felt a sense of unwillingness in her heart.
But what could she do about it? If her skills were insufficient, she had to admit it honestly. Being stubborn was not her style.
At this moment, Yuan Hai chuckled and stepped forward, saying, "What a shame, Xiao Meng. I didn't expect even you to give up. It seems this competition is indeed too difficult."
Xiao Meng was already in a bad mood, and Yuan Hai's words made her even more furious.
She glared at Yuan Hai and said, "What do you mean? Are you trying to mock me?"
Yuan Hai shook his head and said, "No, no, no, I didn't mean to mock you."
"I just want to say that victory and defeat are common in warfare. You don't need to be too sad."
"Don't worry, we're childhood sweethearts. I'll win back what you lost!"
Yuan Hai had intended to seize the opportunity to show his affection and win Xiao Meng's heart.
But to his surprise, Xiao Meng became even more displeased upon hearing this.
She frowned and said, "Yuan Hai, what exactly do you mean?"
"If you want to mock me, then just say it. There's no need to beat around the bush."
"You know, acting like this just makes me feel more disgusted!"
Yuan Hai was taken aback.
Logically speaking, Xiao Meng should have been deeply touched at this moment and rushed into his arms to cry.
Wasn't the current turn of events a bit unscientific?
But he didn't know that his words weren't exactly wrong, but the issue was that they shouldn't have been said by him.
Xiao Meng already disliked him, even hated him.
So, what was the point of him saying such things? It was just adding to her annoyance.
That's how the world works. Because there is no love, everything goes wrong. Different people say the same words, but the effect is always different.
Wu Tian, who already had a good impression of Xiao Meng, stepped forward and said, "Don't be discouraged. You're already very outstanding, aren't you?"
"Look, there are so many contestants, but you've already managed to rank in the top three."
"Just a little more effort, and I believe you'll reach first place in the future."
Xiao Meng had a different attitude towards Wu Tian.
She nodded and said, "Don't worry, I will absolutely not give up."
"After I go back this time, I must be even more serious. I lost this time, and I don't want to lose again."
Wu Tian smiled and said, "That's the right attitude. One must have confidence in oneself."
"If you don't have confidence in yourself, how can you achieve anything?"
Xiao Meng feigned anger and said, "Hey, what do you mean? Are you trying to lecture me? You're a doctor, when did you become a teacher?"
Wu Tian knew that Xiao Meng had cheered up, and he smiled again, "No, no, how dare I be your teacher? Isn't that like showing off in front of an expert? Hehe."
Xiao Meng couldn't help but smile sweetly.
Seeing them talk like that, Yuan Hai was almost driven mad with jealousy!
He and Xiao Meng were childhood sweethearts, so why was Xiao Meng so close to Wu Tian?
In a fit of anger, he spoke up and said, "Alright, let's save the mutual encouragement for later. Now, you can watch my performance!"
After speaking, Yuan Hai took the silver needles and stepped forward, observing the man's condition.
To be honest, although Yuan Hai had achieved some success in ophthalmology,
He still found it difficult when he actually began to diagnose and treat the man's condition.
Even he had never encountered such a situation.
Was there still any hope of saving those eyeballs? Even Yuan Hai himself doubted it.
Seeing that he didn't immediately start, Xiao Meng also began to mock him lightly.
"What's wrong? Aren't you very capable?"
"Didn't you say you were an expert? Why are you stumped now?"
Yuan Hai said angrily, "How am I stumped? This little problem is nothing to me!"
Xiao Meng retorted, "Oh, you're so amazing. If you're so amazing, then why aren't you acting now?"
Yuan Hai said, "The reason I'm not acting now is simply because I'm doing preparatory work."
"Let me tell you something. Do you know why I can cure so many people's eyes? It's because I know a classic acupuncture technique."
"That technique is called the Kai Ming Great Method, and it can treat all eye diseases in the world. Do you think I wouldn't be able to cure him?"
"Kai Ming Great Method?" Xiao Meng was stunned for a moment, then said, "What nonsense are you talking about? How have I never heard of this acupuncture technique? Aren't you making it up?"
Xiao Ding said in a deep voice, "No, I have heard of the Kai Ming acupuncture technique."
"It's a top-tier acupuncture technique for treating eye diseases. Logically, it should be lost by now. How do you know this technique?"
Yuan Hai said with a proud smile, "My father used his connections to buy this Kai Ming acupuncture technique from the three major medical families. It cost a lot of money!"
"Can the treasures of these three major medical families be fake?"
Upon hearing this, Wu Tian couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
With his knowledge, he was indeed aware of the Kai Ming acupuncture technique.
But he hadn't expected that the so-called three major medical families would actually sell such a thing.
It seemed that the three major medical families were indeed not simple.
