"It is hard to say. He has enjoyed the reputation in Miao for decades. Under that prestige, he must have some skills," Sang Guzi said. "Although Wang Yao is pretty young, I have seen his extraordinary ability. I have talked with him more than once. I have rarely seen someone like him with so rich knowledge in Chinese medicine."

"Under the prestige? Is it overstated?" San Jimin said.

"No, curing diseases and saving lives depends on knowledge and ability rather than others. If his ability was not enough, he could have deceived people for a short while but not for long. If he did not have the ability, he would not be able to enjoy a good reputation for decades. On the contrary, he became more famous with time," Sang Guzi said.

He had been practicing medicine for decades. He was very clear about his field. Treating people and saving people depended on true ability.
