At this moment, the originally petite figure seemed to suddenly become tall.
People looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang in astonishment. In this instant, they could no longer see her as an inexperienced young girl.
"Who is this girl? Her aura is extraordinary!"
"I don't know, but since the guards brought her in, her identity must be remarkable."
"Pang Tangping was full of resentment after being expelled from the Royal Medical Academy. Now that he sees the academy helpless, he naturally wants revenge."
"I heard that after Pang Tangping left the academy, he encountered a master who greatly improved his medical skills. If he truly cures the prince this time, it won't go well for Ning Hongzhong and the others. Sigh."
Discussions arose one after another.
No one had expected the prince's illness to be so challenging, completely surpassing their knowledge. They had considered various methods, but none of them seemed viable.
Pang Tangping, provoked by Bai Li Hongzhuang's words, felt anger surging within him. He suddenly reached out his right hand, intending to teach her a lesson.
A frosty layer covered her pretty face. Just as Bai Li Hongzhuang was about to retort and teach Pang Tangping a lesson, Ning Hongzhong blocked his hand.
"Pang Tangping, you are still an elder. How can you lay hands on a junior? Have you lost all sense of propriety?"
Ning Hongzhong's face showed a mix of anger and annoyance. It was he who had expelled Pang Tangping from the academy, and now Pang Tangping was causing trouble here!
As long as he was present, he would not allow Pang Tangping to contaminate the entire academy.
With a wave of his hand, Pang Tangping forcefully pushed away Ning Hongzhong's hand. "I am no longer affiliated with the Royal Medical Academy. You have no right to lecture me."
Seeing the standoff between the two, Bai Li Hongzhuang suddenly spoke up. "You said I am inexperienced and ignorant in medicine. Can you cure the prince's illness?"
Her cold voice carried a hint of mockery. She couldn't understand why this guy, who had never even seen Xuanyuan Huan's illness, dared to boast so arrogantly. Were there too many idiots in this world?
Upon hearing this, Pang Tangping chuckled lightly. He wouldn't fall into such a simple provocation.
"If I can't cure the prince, you won't be able to either!"
"But what if I do cure him?" Bai Li Hongzhuang's lips curved into a faint smile as she looked at Pang Tangping inquisitively.
"What a joke!" Pang Tangping's face was filled with ridicule. "You're just a greenhorn who isn't afraid of tigers, thinking you're a skilled physician after barely scratching the surface. If you can cure the prince, the sun will rise from the west."
Despite Pang Tangping's mockery, Bai Li Hongzhuang remained unruffled. She smiled delicately and said, "Since you're so certain, how about we make a bet?"
"What kind of bet?"
"If I cure the prince, you will compensate me with ten thousand gold coins and apologize to all the physicians present."
Her exquisite face exuded confidence and arrogance, as if she already held the winning ticket. Her sparkling eyes were filled with provocation and arrogance, and her imposing aura surpassed all.
Pang Tangping wanted to nonchalantly agree to Bai Li Hongzhuang's proposal, but when he heard the wager, the "good" in his throat was swallowed forcibly.
Ten thousand gold coins was not a small amount, and even he would have to wager his entire fortune!
Yet, when he looked at Bai Li Hongzhuang's youthful and stunning face, he couldn't help but feel a hint of uneasiness.
