Bai Xiaosheng impressively heals young York's arm, earning admiration and gratitude. Chief Ogade, impressed by Bai Xiaosheng's skills, discusses inviting a Huaxia doctor to his palace. Bai Xiaosheng suggests a modern, versatile doctor, and when asked about pulse diagnosis, agrees to demonstrate the technique.

Under everyone’s expectant gaze, Bai Xiaosheng agreed.

Chief Ogade immediately perked up, extended his hand, and showed his wrist, "Is it this wrist? Should it be like this?"

Bai Xiaosheng smiled and directed Chief Ogade to place his wrist on the table, then extended his own index and middle fingers, placing them on his pulse.

As their skin touched, the voice of Red Lotus echoed in Bai Xiaosheng’s mind, "Scanning, data is being generated..."

To outsiders, Bai Xiaosheng appeared quite immersed and silent, all holding their breaths in concentration, fearing to disturb him.

Among those present, some were curious and expectant, while others harbored skepticism.

This kind of Huaxia medical skill, relying on two fingers to detect things that usually require machines, seemed a bit exaggerated, even unbelievable...

About a minute later, Bai Xiaosheng focused and moved his fingers away.

"How is it?" Chief Ogade couldn’t help but ask.

Lady Daliya, Asgar, Chen Feiqiu, Lin Weiwei, Lei Ying, and everyone present gazed at Bai Xiaosheng, waiting for him to speak.

In Bai Xiaosheng’s mind, Red Lotus had already listed an ample amount of information and even provided solutions for various issues.

"Chief Ogade, your health is quite good." Bai Xiaosheng said with a smile.

"Oh, really?" Chief Ogade said with a half-smile, "But recently, I haven’t been feeling very well."

Chief Ogade had obviously arrived in a wheelchair today, having mentioned not feeling well recently, yet Bai Xiaosheng still claimed his health was fine.

Everyone present looked at Bai Xiaosheng with meaningful glances, clearly thinking his pulse diagnosis might be overrated.

Bai Xiaosheng leaned closer to Chief Ogade, and in a voice that only the two could hear, whispered, "You have moderate fatty liver, some heart and lung issues, currently under treatment, and also, your spleen and kidneys..."

With just a few words, Bai Xiaosheng made Chief Ogade’s smile slightly fade, a hint of surprise showing in his eyes.

Originally, he too was a bit disappointed with the so-called pulse diagnosis.

Now, that feeling vanished completely.

Was this ancient Huaxia medical art truly so formidable, comparable to machine examinations?

Bai Xiaosheng continued, "Chief, your muscle soreness is due to side effects from some treatments, nothing serious. But I detected a blockage in your meridian, likely an unnoticed benign mass, which should be checked early to prevent future complications, and it’s located at..."

With these final words, the smile on Chief Ogade’s face disappeared.

After all, when it comes to hearing about one’s health issues, it’s hard to smile.

Having said everything, Bai Xiaosheng sat back down.

Those present saw Bai Xiaosheng converse quietly with Chief Ogade, whose expression turned slightly off, and exchanged puzzled glances.

No one knew what the guest Bai Xiaosheng had said, perhaps he displeased the Chief.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying couldn’t help feeling concerned.

Lady Daliya, sitting close, had subconsciously leaned in and heard some of the content, her expression also changed slightly, looking towards her husband with concern.

Asgar, Chen Feiqiu, Lin Weiwei, and Lei Ying were like the others, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with confusion.

After a few deep breaths, Chief Ogade regained composure, looking at Bai Xiaosheng with a different gaze.

"Mr. Bai, your medical skills are extraordinary, this pulse diagnosis technique is a mysterious and grand Eastern art!" Chief Ogade sincerely praised.

Others didn’t know what Bai Xiaosheng said to receive such high praise from Chief Ogade, but it was evidently something special.

In this way, no one dared to underestimate Bai Xiaosheng and the medical skills of Huaxia.

"I noted what you told me earlier!" Chief Ogade said to Bai Xiaosheng with meaningful depth.

Although Chief Ogade had his private medical officers and a vast medical team, and even comprehensive medical equipment in the palace, he was usually too busy for a full examination without any apparent symptoms.

The mass Bai Xiaosheng mentioned was unheard of by Chief Ogade, naturally garnering his significant attention.

Bai Xiaosheng nodded with a smile.

Beyond these matters, Chief Ogade appreciated Bai Xiaosheng’s approach even more.

With Chief Ogade’s special status, revealing his health condition even to his offspring in the room was inadvisable, to avoid any unnecessary stir.

Bai Xiaosheng handled it exceptionally well, choosing to inform him discreetly despite potential doubts about his medical prowess.

This alone, beyond skill, was what truly garnered Chief Ogade’s admiration.

Lady Daliya’s glance towards Bai Xiaosheng shimmered with appreciation as well.

"Chief, it’s getting late, let’s begin the feast." Lady Daliya timely reminded from the side.

"Yes, yes, the guests have been seated for a long time, let’s start the feast. I almost forgot, you see."

Chief Ogade laughed heartily and motioned to the servants to start serving food.

"What’s coming are all Oshan’s famous dishes, a menu I personally selected. Mr. Sheng, do taste more of them."

Chief Ogade patted Bai Xiaosheng’s arm, his demeanor exceedingly affable and cordial.

Like a close elder relative.

"Alright." Bai Xiaosheng replied with a smile.

Chief Ogade’s offspring present regarded Bai Xiaosheng with progressively different eyes.

Never had the Chief shown such hospitality to a young guest on a first meeting, the first they saw.

With Chief Ogade’s earlier command, plates of delicacies were brought in and placed before everyone.

Chief Ogade personally explained the dishes to Bai Xiaosheng, guiding him on what wine or condiments to pair with each dish.

Bai Xiaosheng listened and nodded frequently, offering generous praise when he encountered dishes he liked.

Seeing this, Chief Ogade began telling Bai Xiaosheng the origins and stories behind these dishes.

This stirred some "envy" among the Chief’s offspring present.

Chief Ogade had never treated them so...

Chen Feiqiu also joined the interaction appropriately, even Lady Daliya chimed in from time to time.

Lin Weiwei and Lei Ying were warmly entertained, thanks to Bai Xiaosheng.

During the meal, classical melodies were played by a royal band on the side, complementing the feast nicely.

In this manner, the banquet stretched over two hours before approaching its end.

Chief Ogade still held Bai Xiaosheng’s hand, saying, "Sheng, don’t go back tonight, stay here."

With the Supreme Chieftain’s open invitation, Bai Xiaosheng couldn’t refuse publicly.

Moreover, it was indeed late, heading back would mean traveling past midnight.

"Then I should gratefully accept, thank you, Chief." Bai Xiaosheng smiled.

Chief Ogade laughed heartily and patted Bai Xiaosheng’s shoulder with satisfaction.

Up to now, even the form of address had changed, outweighing the initial formalities much more.

After the remnants were cleared, servants brought in tea, fruits, and fresh flowers.

After a short while, Chief Ogade went to rest, having specifically asked everyone to leave Bai Xiaosheng in peace, only letting Chen Feiqiu guide Bai Xiaosheng around and then to his room to rest.

At the Chief’s words, everyone obediently complied, many respectfully seeing the Chief off.

Watching the backs of Chief Ogade and Lady Daliya, Bai Xiaosheng, with a smile, couldn’t help but reflect: Holding a high position is truly not easy!

Even for guests he had great fondness for, he remained cautious, fearing any unfavorable information might leak out, choosing to keep the guest overnight.

Also wary of excessive inquiry from others, he only allowed Chen Feiqiu, his future heir and the sole one free to know the details, to stay behind.

It seemed, once Chief Ogade had left, he would likely proceed to check his health condition...

Bai Xiaosheng wasn’t worried about the result; he trusted Red Lotus’s detection, it was a hidden ailment, luckily found early...

"In the end, Chief should thank me." Bai Xiaosheng mused, "That way, any collaboration or requests with Oshan should be assured."
