Besides those two paths, there was one more way to qualify for the medical licensing exam.

You could get an endorsement and recommendation from the president of the Traditional Medicine Association.

This last option was actually the hardest of all.

If your medical skills could earn recognition from the Traditional Medicine Association president, it meant your abilities were truly exceptional, or you were extraordinarily gifted. Only then would the president give their endorsement.

Elliot and Janessa exchanged a glance.

Their eyes both held confusion and a hint of shock.

Scarlett was only 18 years old, after all.

Even if she had learned traditional medicine from her grandfather before…

At 18 years old, how much could she really have learned? There was no way she could pass the licensing

exam.

But Elliot kept remembering how Scarlett had performed her sword dance during that audition in the private room.

With nothing but a wooden stick, she had made it move as if it carried real blade energy.

Maybe she really did have that kind of talent.

Maybe her medical skills really were that impressive.

Scarlett didn’t say much more to them.

“Mr. Lloyd, just come by the day after tomorrow evening.”

“Alright,” Elliot said. “I’ll bring my wife to see you then. Scarlett, thank you so much.”

After hanging up, Scarlett made another call to her stepfather.

She told him she wouldn’t have time to come home this week either.

The next morning, after eating breakfast, Scarlett received a call from Selina’s grandfather, Billy.

On the phone, Billy sounded cheerful. “Scarlett, just head straight to the exam site. Everything’s been arranged for you. Just scan your ID and you can go right in. I’ll text you the address. Knock ‘em dead, kiddo.”

Billy had complete faith in Scarlett’s medical abilities.

After all, she had made that incredible vitality supplement for his granddaughter.

And she had given him quite a few ancient prescriptions and needle therapy techniques as well.

Scarlett smiled. “Thank you so much, Mr. Brown.”

“No need to thank me. We’re the ones who should be thanking you.”

Those ancient prescriptions and needle therapy techniques were truly invaluable to the field of traditional medicine.

After hanging up, Scarlett received the address Billy had sent her.

The traditional medicine licensing exam was apparently offered twice a year.

Each testing window lasted about two weeks.

Candidates could schedule their own exam times.

There were only two parts to the test–a written exam and a practical skills assessment.

The written portion was in the morning.

The practical assessment was in the afternoon.

She quickly took a cab to the testing center.

There weren’t many examinees today.

The number of people studying traditional medicine was dwindling more and more.

Today’s test–takers totaled only about a dozen.

Aside from Scarlett, the youngest person there looked to be in their mid–20s. Most were in their 30s or

40s.

When they spotted Scarlett, they all looked surprised and started whispering among themselves.

“What’s that young girl here for?”

“No idea. She can’t be a proctor. Proctors wait inside the exam room. She’s not actually a test–taker, is she?”

“A test–taker that young? No way.”

“Why does she look kind of familiar to me?”

“She’s pretty, I’ll give her that…”

The oldest–looking man in the group, a guy in his 40s, walked over curiously and asked, “Miss, what are you here for?”

Scarlett smiled. “To take the exam, obviously.”

The man paused, then frowned.

“Miss, how old are you even? And you’re here to take the medical licensing exam? Did you train under a mentor? Who’s your mentor? You can’t even be 20 years old yet. Why would your mentor let you take this

exam?”

Scarlett kept her pleasant smile, but her words cut deep.

“Sir, medical skill has nothing to do with age. Take yourself, for example. You’re what, 40? And you’re only now taking the licensing exam. Is that because you’ve been quietly honing your craft all these years? No. It’s just because your skills aren’t that great, which is why you still haven’t passed at your age.”

Someone nearby couldn’t help but snort with laughter.

When the man glared at them, they quickly covered their mouths.

The middle–aged man turned back to Scarlett, his expression souring even more.

“What a rude little girl. I was trying to help you. Don’t think that just because you know a bit of medicine you can waltz in here and take this exam.

“If you fail, you won’t just embarrass yourself. You’ll embarrass your mentor too. What was your mentor thinking, letting you take this test?”

Scarlett replied flatly, “You’re 40 and still haven’t passed, and you’re not embarrassed. What do I have to be embarrassed about? Besides, I’m going to pass on my first try today.”

The middle–aged man didn’t believe her for a second. His face flushed with anger and humiliation.

He wanted to lecture her some more.

Scarlett didn’t give him the chance. She turned and walked toward the exam room.

Behind her, a young man who looked to be in his early 20s caught up with her, his face full of excitement.

“You’re Scarlett, right? I recognize you. You’re a celebrity. You’re only 18 years old this year, aren’t you? And you’re here to take the licensing exam? I graduated from a traditional medicine program, and I’ve been doing my clinical internship for two years. This is my first time taking this exam.”

Scarlett hummed in acknowledgment and said, “Good luck then.”

The young man was still buzzing with excitement.

“Did you learn traditional medicine from your grandfather? I read online that your grandfather was a practitioner. Are you planning to leave the entertainment industry?”
