However, the young lady before them. Caylic, claimed to have mastered several unique acupuncture

techniques. Reuben and his companions couldn’t help but feel skeptical of her bold claims.

Reuben’s expression, which had already shown signs of discontent, now bordered on outright

displeasure.

They had traveled great distances to the Chanaea Traditional Medicine Association with the hope of

discovering and persuading a hidden gem of medical expertise to join their ranks. Yet, the reality that

unfolded before them was starkly different from their expectations, almost surreal.

The prospect of their journey being in vain, a mere waste of time and resources, loomed ominously

over them.

Axel, in particular, seemed most disturbed by the turn of events.

Once celebrated as an “acupuncture prodigy,” his reputation had been somewhat tarnished by

unforeseen circumstances, yet his skill in the art remained undeniable.

Duncan’s recent proclamation, positioning the young Caylie as an acupuncture prodigy of unparalleled

talent, directly challenged Axel’s standing.

Dismayed, Axel inquired in a deep voice, “May I know your age, Ms. White?”

“Twenty–five,” Caylie truthfully answered.

Twenty–five… Haha!”

His skepticism was evident, and his inquiry into Caylie’s age, followed by a derisive chuckle, clearly

dismissed her claims of mastery.

To claim yourself as a prodigy of unparalleled talent at the age of twenty–five? How absurd!

Caylie, for her part, was taken aback by Axel’s palpable disdain.

The disappointment weighed heavily on her heart, as the respect she once held for her idol was

tarnished by his dismissive attitude.

The expectation of a fair chance to demonstrate her skills, only to be met with scorn, was

disheartening.

The initial eagerness to engage with these esteemed figures of traditional medicine had been replaced

with a desire to conclude the uncomfortable exchange as quickly as possible.

Witnessing this exchange, Duncan felt a surge of indignation.

The notion that one could not achieve significant medical prowess by the age of twenty–five was

absurd.

to him.

His own teacher had reached a mastery of medical skills in his early twenties, a fact that should have

inspired humility, not arrogance, in their critics.

Yet, Duncan restrained his anger, his attention fixed on Emrys, curious about how he would respond to

the situation.

Emrys, for his part, remained largely unperturbed, having anticipated such skepticism based on his

own experiences.

Throughout his career, he had frequently encountered skepticism and even outright disbelief, much of

which could be attributed to his relatively young age for someone bearing the title of a master healer.

The skepticism wasn’t entirely unfounded; Emrys himself admitted that, were he not privy to his own.

remarkable journey and the extraordinary encounters that had shaped his path, he might have

dismissed such claims as mere flights of fancy.

Emrys knew that the only way to dissolve such doubts was through the undeniable demonstration of

skill.

At this point, Reuben interjected, his voice carrying a mix of curiosity and skepticism. “Ms. White, our

doubts aren’t personal but are fueled by the extraordinary nature of your claims, especially considering

your youth. Coupled with your assertion of mastering multiple unique acupuncture techniques, our

skepticism seems justified. Would you be willing to demonstrate some of these techniques to dispel our

doubts?”

Emrys shared a similar sentiment, albeit with a hint of anticipation for the potential validation such a

demonstration could bring.

He envisioned a dramatic scene where Caylic, with a mere flick of her wrists, would metaphorically and

quite literally “slap” the disbelief off the faces of these respected yet cynical practitioners.

However, Caylie’s response took an unexpected turn. With a calm demeanor, she firmly stated, “I must

apologize, but my medical skills are dedicated to alleviating suffering and preserving life, not to be

paraded for spectacle or validation. My practice isn’t dependent on your approval or lack thereof; it has

no bearing on my commitment to my patients.”

Her words left Reuben speechless.

This unexpected retort swiftly led Emrys to a moment of contemplation, as he grasped the depth of

Caylie’s conviction.

It became clear that Axel’s earlier dismissive attitude had deeply discouraged Caylie, extinguishing any

trace of enthusiasm she may have had towards engaging with these traditionalists or considering

aligning with the Chanaea Traditional Medicine Association.

Indeed, to be met with such indifference, particularly from an idol revered during one’s

years. was a blow that can unsettle even the most determined of individuals.

Faced with such a situation, people typically react in one of two ways: either rise to the occasion by

showcasing their abilities, thus forcefully silencing the skeptics–a response characteristic of those with

more assertive nature, much like Emrys, who would not hesitate to confront disparagement directly -or

adopt a position of dignified restraint, choosing to uphold their principles rather than succumbing to the

pressure to prove oneself. Caylie chose this path with grace and determination.
