Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 55: Chapter 30: Elder Xu Argues with a Group of Doctors

As soon as Gu Changsheng stepped out the back door of the medical hall, her whole body went limp.

Oh my dear mother, she was exhausted!

Pretending to be awesome, well, that definitely requires a thick skin, high self-regard, and the ability to withstand bolts from the blue—it’s technically a skill.

Fortunately, she managed to bluff her way through, otherwise she really would’ve had no face to meet the elders of Jiangdong. Losing face all the way back to ancient times, that would’ve lost an awful lot of face, and she wanted none of that.

Standing at the door waiting for a while, Xiao Cui and Han Qiu finally followed her out.

As soon as Xiao Cui came out and saw Gu Changsheng, she started to clamor excitedly, rushing forward in two steps and grabbing a hold of Gu Changsheng’s sleeve, “Lady Changsheng, you looked so majestic just now, now there’s a complete mess inside.”

Gu Changsheng pricked up her ears and listened back, sure enough, the bustling noise from within the medical hall could be heard, clearly in chaos.

Gu Changsheng turned her head to see Xiao Cui looking at her with starry eyes, and with a “smack,” she slapped her hand away, grumbling, “Majestic my ass, that was all an act! Ever heard the saying, ‘Don’t pretend to be something you’re not, or you’ll get struck by lightning’? I’m actually afraid of being struck by lightning!”

Xiao Cui, touching her head in disbelief, felt that she needed to reevaluate Lady Changsheng. Perhaps Lady Changsheng wasn’t completely unreliable, her impression just now was pretty solid…

“What’s with that expression? Xiao Cui, I’m warning you, it’s normal for your Lady Changsheng to have her whims, that seriousness just now was abnormal. If it weren’t for the need to provide for the little ones at home, would I bother letting those people outside be my walking advertisements? Heavenly Father has always had it in for me, who knows when a lightning bolt might come and strike me!”

Knowing precisely what being whimsical meant, Xiao Cui’s mouth twitched as she brought her hands together in prayer to the sky, “Lightning strikes and all that, ptooey, ptooey… Heavenly Father, Lady Changsheng was just spouting nonsense just now. Please, let it go and don’t take it to heart.”

Just as Gu Changsheng was about to walk to the backyard, she heard this and immediately turned around and pointed, “Oh, Xiao Cui, you’ve grown some nerve, daring to call your Lady Changsheng a petty person!”

At these words, Xiao Cui explained with a face full of horror, “Lady Changsheng, Xiao Cui misspoke, I didn’t mean that. You’re not a petty person, Xiao Cui is the petty one…”

Seeing her almost in tears, Gu Changsheng resignedly withdrew her hand. The ancients really couldn’t take a joke. Then, with gleaming eyes, she said, “Actually you’re right, Xiao Cui, your Lady Changsheng is indeed a petty person, but as they say, ‘the way of the petty person endures for a thousand years’. I not only want to be petty, but I also want to be a scourge, that fits my style…”

Xiao Cui, Han Qiu: “…”

Lady Changsheng’s style truly is one of a kind…

“Lady Changsheng really intends to teach her medical skills to all the doctors in the world?” Han Qiu was the first to snap back to reality and asked softly.

“Of course, didn’t I say so before? Do I look like someone who lies?” Gu Changsheng looked hurt as she gazed at Han Qiu. Dammit, her noble character was being doubted by an ancient person! That feeling, it’s really not good.

“If Lady Changsheng does as you just said and teaches generously, how will you secure a peaceful and respectable life?” Han Qiu asked with a cold face. After all, there aren’t many in this world willing to pass on all they’ve learned to others, even if they take on disciples like their own sons, they still hold back and keep some secrets.

“Oh, Han Qiu, you really shouldn’t doubt my character anymore. If my grandfather could have the ambition to benefit all the doctors, why can’t I? I definitely need to be stronger than the previous generation and surpass my grandfather. How could I let the thinking of an ancient person outdo me? That would be too humiliating!” Gu Changsheng pouted, no way was she going to be outdone by the mindset of an ancient person.

Xiao Cui, Han Qiu: “…”

As if recalling something, Gu Changsheng once again lowered her head, flashing a sleazy smile and continued, “Besides, if all the doctors in the world benefited from me, considered as my half-disciples, tsk tsk… just think of that scene, it’s thrilling and so satisfying!”

Xiao Cui and Han Qiu were completely speechless regarding their Lady Changsheng. Indeed, Lady Changsheng’s earlier majesty was abnormal, and now, wanting to communicate normally with an abnormal Lady Changsheng also seemed abnormal!

Although they didn’t know what ‘thrilling’ meant, they unanimously thought, it couldn’t be good.

So, the word ‘thrilling’ was shot down though innocent, and Gu Changsheng remained arrogant.

The trio made their way back to the backyard, but the medical hall’s main lobby began its own war of words.

“What did Lady Changsheng mean just now?” A certain not-so-bright doctor asked.

“A woman practicing medicine? Absurd!”

“It’s utterly undignified! Since ancient times, women have always stayed in the inner chambers, when has there ever been one in the hall? It’s simply rude, extremely rude!”
