Long Yi took a look at Mr. Dragon, who was checking the data, and he felt helpless. Recently, Huangfu Yi became very emotional and fickle, which posed great challenges to Long Yi. Huangfu Yi had never been like this, but Long Yi didn’t dare to talk about it in front of Huangfu Yi, so he could only manage to keep expressionless as usual.
He still did not know if he should tell Huangfu Yi that Murong Xue took the examination.
After a while, Long Yi decided not to tell him because he wanted to surprise Huangfu Yi and he was looking forward to the moment they met each other. Long Yi regarded this interesting prank as compensation to him for his recent suffering.
The participants needed to take the Dragon Doctor Examination individually. The content of the examination was unknown. Most of them entered the testing rooms with confidence but came out with frustrated faces, and they would be taken to another place. Thinking of this, Murong Xue thought of the punishment Laoda once mentioned and she knew that these people would not have a great time.
Murong Xue could tell from this that this examination was very difficult. Holding the suitcase of golden needles, Murong Xue clenched her fists and she told herself that she would never back off no matter what happened.
Several hours passed and Murong Xue's feet fell asleep. No one dared to complain, so only the whispering between incumbent Dragon Doctors and the sound of writing on the paper could be heard. It was quiet.
"Murong Xue!"
It was Murong Xue's turn now. She entered the room with her suitcase.
In the room, several Dragon Doctors in white coats eyed her up and down and they all seemed very indifferent. Seeing her young face, some of them frowned.
Murong Xue knew that they would not take her seriously as she was too young, but she still stood straight and held her head high with a thin smile, "I'm Murong Xue. I came here to take the examination."
"What's in that suitcase?" asked an older Dragon Doctor, who was about 30 years old. Murong Xue saw his Grade A badge that represented the top level in the Dragon Doctor's ranking.
"Golden needles for acupuncture." Murong Xue answered.
"Open it and show us." The doctor took a look at her suitcase and demanded.
Hearing this, Murong Xue put her suitcase on the table, pressed the button, and opened it. The needles of various sizes in the suitcase were presented in front of these Dragon Doctors, which looked strangely fancy.
Some of the doctors walked over and checked the needles carefully with gloves for a while. Then they looked very satisfied and the one who asked her first praised, "Good needles, but they are of no use today."
Murong Xue just brought them in case she needed them, "Could you tell me what the examination is about?"
After seeing the needles, the doctors became more easy-going and one older doctor said, "Detoxification."
"Detoxification?" Murong Xue did not expect this and she had thought that the examination was about some difficult cases.
"Well, come over here. We have a rat and it's poisoned. You need to find a way to cure it and explain the property of each medicine you use."
Murong Xue came to check the little white rat in the cage and found that its eyes were red and it was hitting the cage fiercely. She found this symptom very familiar.
She thought that this symptom was similar to Yang Feng's and it was such a coincidence that she felt like she was cheating. But she could not be sure because human beings were different from rats in certain aspects. She had a rough guess and she wanted to test it. Murong Xue asked, "Can I knock it out?"
"Sure, as long as you keep it alive." The Dragon Doctors seemed to be very patient, which was totally opposite to what she had imagined. She had thought that they would be very condescending and aloof instead of being surprisingly easy-going.
Actually, Long Yi had told them to be friendly to Murong Xue, which she was unaware of. Besides, Long Yi asked to exempt her from the punishment if she failed the examination. The reason why Long Yi did this was that he knew Murong Xue was important to Huangfu Yi.
Taking out one golden needle, Murong Xue pointed it at the rat. All of a sudden, the rat became motionless. Murong Xue opened the cage after wearing the medical gloves and began to check the rat.
After about ten minutes, Murong Xue finished checking the rat, put it back in the cage, and closed the door of the cage. Taking off the gloves and throwing them into the trash can, she turned to face the Dragon Doctors.
"I can make the antidote." Murong Xue announced.
"What? What did you say? You know how to make the antidote?"
"Don't talk big just to pass the examination. This poison is not common." They did not expect anyone to cure the rat in this examination as it was very difficult. They only wanted to see what plan and insight the participants would have. If the plan was feasible, they would let the one who put forward it pass. But the people before Murong Xue did not think of anything and wasted several hours of their time, which let them down. Therefore, they were shocked when Murong Xue expressed that she could make the antidote within only ten minutes. Even the Dragon Doctors themselves could only help with symptom management instead of curing it.
Murong Xue decided to tell the truth after considering it for a while because she really felt like she was cheating, "In fact, I know what this poison is and how to make its antidote. So I don't think this examination is fair to other participants." Murong Xue wanted the selection to be based on her talent and capability instead of free riding.
"You know what this poison is?" The people in the room came near Murong Xue suddenly and asked her with great anticipation.
Feeling their burning gaze, Muong Xue would never be at ease. She coughed once to calm down before answering their question, "This poison is called Soul-killing, one of the forbidden drugs. It's very lethal and the medicinal herbs needed to make the antidote are very precious as well."
The Dragon Doctors looked at each other and became more serious, "Tell us about the antidote and the herbs needed."
So Murong Xue started to explain the property of Soul-killing and how to make the antidote. Then they discussed it for more than a couple of hours. Gradually, the Dragon Doctors began to treat Murong Xue as their peer and they were humble enough to ask her about their doubts.
As time went by, the participants outside the room became restless and surprised. Each participant would come out in half an hour, but Murong Xue had been inside for almost two hours.
The Dragon Doctors sitting outside were so curious that they also entered the room to see what happened, only leaving several guards. By now, all the Dragon Doctors present were fully devoted to the discussion and their exclamations could be heard by people outside, which helped grow their unease. Some in the waiting line began to whisper to each other and joined the discussion.
When Murong Xue had been inside for four hours, even the guards felt shocked. But no one dared to interrupt them and they chose to wait patiently and stick to their job. However, the people who were waiting to take the examination were much less patient as their vital interests were at stake after waiting almost all day long. Some of them started to hover nervously in the doorway and glanced at the closed door from time to time.
In the end, Murong Xue reminded the Dragon Doctors that the examination was still going on. Murong Xue passed the examination and the Dragon Doctors were very pleased to have her as their new member. She would start with Grade C and her ranking would go up if she finished her tasks well. Compared with other departments' work, what the Dragon Doctors needed to do was far less dangerous, mostly saving people's life.
Murong Xue got the badge of Dragon Doctor on the spot. Several Dragon Doctors even walked her out and they were talking and laughing, which caused an uproar in the waiting crowd.
Now Murong Xue had free access to the base with her Dragon Doctor badge, but the inspection was still necessary.
Seeing Murong Xue come out, Laoda looked her up and down, "Are you okay?" He almost wanted to go in there and check on her. He had been waiting for Murong Xue for such a long time, but he did not see that Murong Xue was taken out, so he guessed that Murong Xue should be safe.
"I'm fine. Look. I told you I could make it." Murong Xue pointed at the badge clipped on her collar.
"Congratulations, Xiaoliu!" Laoda gave a big smile and put his heart back in his stomach.
Murong Xue said while walking, "Let's go out and have a big meal when Xiao’er and others come back. My treat."
"No need. I prefer the dishes you make yourself, which are so much better. Why don't you give us a treat?" Laoda smiled and praised Murong Xue's cooking. They did not know why the vegetables Murong Xue cooked also beat the ones in restaurants. If it was allowed, they wanted to eat what she cooked every day. After all, they found everything else tasteless after savoring her delicious dishes.
"Sure. As long as you like it, I can cook for you forever."
