Time Travel: The Best Doctor in Ancient Times

Chapter 154: Chapter 86: Rivals Meet

Ostrich mentality is great, being an ostrich means not having to face the bleakness of life directly!

Gu Changsheng cocked his head as he watched Zhou Mu, with a chilly aura, walking out of the inner room, and he sighed deeply.

“What the heck is this about! I’m still single! Do they really need to do this every now and then?” Pound the bed!

Being caught in a treacherous situation truly sucks!

Nestled in the bed like an ostrich, the patient Gu Changsheng felt very depressed, very sad…

What does it look like when rivals meet?

Utterly green with envy!

Zhou Mu, who hadn’t taken Yue Xilou seriously at first, clearly no longer held the same thought after coming out of the inner room.

Looking at the flamboyant Yue Xilou, he found him displeasing from every angle!

The sparks in their eyes met, and the atmosphere around them instantly tensed up.

Gu Changsheng felt the odd atmosphere outside, and as the ostrich ventured out of the inner room, he was met with this scene.

“My lady, what are they about to do?” Xiao Cui, clutching Little Meat Bun, looked anxiously at his mistress.

The corners of Gu Changsheng’s mouth twitched, and then twitched again, “I don’t know!”

She too wanted to know what those two crows were up to!

In the courtyard, one was flamboyantly frivolous and the other was chillingly murderous.

“My lady, are they going to fight?” Xiao Cui peered into the courtyard and felt more and more certain about her guess!

Gu Changsheng clutched her forehead, her internal injury worsening, “Men’s hearts are unfathomable, the world of men, we don’t understand…”

Weren’t the two of them just fine when they met earlier? How come it turned into smoke and gunfire in the blink of an eye?

Obviously, the fire-starter Gu Changsheng, was totally unaware of her role as a provocateur!

“My lady, shouldn’t you go and persuade them?” Xiao Cui rationally suggested, as the two men looked like they were about to start fighting at any moment.

“Not going!” Gu Changsheng glanced at Xiao Cui, “Men’s business, why should we women interfere? Let’s just mind our own business and absolutely not overstep!”

“So what should we do?”

“Place bets, grab stools and watch the drama!” Gu Changsheng’s eyes gleamed, her face lighting up with a mischievous smile, “Xiao Cui, ah, it’s rare to see handsome men fight, such a drama must not be missed, come on, hurry and grab some stools!”

Xiao Cui looked helplessly at his mistress, seeing how excited she was.

Instantly defeated!

Resignedly dragging over the stools, they huddled up by the doorway and sat down.

Gu Changsheng propped her chin with both hands, her large eyes blinking, “Spectating is indeed better with a crowd, just the few of us, not even anyone to cheer or applaud.”

Everyone: “…”

The two in the courtyard, embroiled in tension, obviously didn’t care about their actions, as they were fiercely glaring like true rivals.

Waiting left and right with no action, and the spectating posture all set, Gu Changsheng couldn’t hold back anymore. She waved a long arm and pointing to the two men in the courtyard, “Can’t the two of you cooperate a bit, decide whether to fight or not, staring like this is no fun to watch!”

The two men instantly turned their heads, both looking back at Gu Changsheng.

Her obviously eager spectator stance was so apparent that it made both men’s mouths twitch at the same time.

“Woman!” Zhou Mu grunted in annoyance.

This woman! Really! What is he to say!

“Tsk tsk…” Yue Xilou shook his head helplessly, encountering such a woman, no one’s days would be too boring, because she really plays by no rules.

“Alright! You two stop looking at me, look at each other, continue brewing up that murderous intent from earlier, who knows, maybe sparks of love might even fly,” Gu Changsheng shook her hand.

“My lady, they are both men!” Xiao Cui protested.

“Yaoi is everywhere!” Gu Changsheng insisted.

“But you can’t just say that!” Prince Mu and Yue Xilou sparking love? Could that even be watchable?

“The truth is often cruel.” Gu Changsheng shrugged, her gaze shifting back to the courtyard, “Don’t you think, the two of them, each a fine figure of a man, match quite well?”

Xiao Cui followed his mistress’s gaze to the yard, indeed both men were outstanding figures…

Uh… indeed a good match…

“My lady…” Xiao Cui was emotionally wounded.

“Let’s just not talk, look at how they’re looking at me, the fight is about to turn toward me.” That’s right, she’d hit a nerve, look at the furious glares from those two, tsk tsk, scary!

Indeed, Xiao Cui fell silent.

Only then did the two men in the courtyard shift their gaze away from Gu Changsheng.

They looked at each other, a hint of helplessness flickering in their eyes simultaneously.

Stare, keep staring!

I’m sitting here waiting for the yaoi!

Perhaps because Gu Changsheng’s spectating was too obvious, fate just would not favor her.

The two men in the courtyard simply showed no reaction whatsoever!

Damn it! Had she not gone to all the trouble of moving the stools?

“To not die in silence, burst forth from it if alive, what exactly are you two doing, dead or alive?” If alive, then hurry up and burst forth! She’s in a rush!

It’s truly inconsiderate to keep people in suspense!

The two men in the courtyard sighed simultaneously, their actions eerily coordinated.

This sight made Gu Changsheng think of a phrase involuntarily, “when the husband sings, the wife follows?”

Cringe!

“I surrender.” Xilou chuckled with satisfaction as he snapped his folding fan shut and shifted it slightly with a turn of his hand.

Zhou Mu’s expression remained unchanged, clearly not caring about this.

But Gu Changsheng was not happy. He angrily slapped his thigh with one hand and was about to stand up to argue.

Zhou Mu moved quickly. In the blink of an eye, he was behind Gu Changsheng, pressing his hands on her shoulders, “You’re still injured, don’t move rashly!”

Gu Changsheng, held down on the stool, pointed at the calm and composed Xilou in the courtyard, her face full of frustration, “I’m saying, can’t you put up a bit more of a fight? The fight hasn’t even started, and you’re surrendering. Don’t you know about defeating the enemy without a battle? You’re really spineless!”

The key point was that she had already got herself ready to watch the drama, and frustratingly, there was none!

Such a waste of effort!

“Fight when I can’t win, am I stupid?” Xilou raised her eyebrows, speaking confidently.

“You haven’t tried a single move. How do you know you can’t win?” Gu Changsheng disagreed.

“Girl, rather than fighting and losing and having it spread, devaluing myself, I’d rather smartly admit defeat myself,” Xilou shrugged, mimicking Gu Changsheng’s gesture.

“Damn! You’re really a wimp!” Gu Changsheng looked at Xilou with disdain, “All show no go, just a pretty pillow! And you still have the audacity to ask me to leave him and choose you?”

At least there should be a match in strength to make it interesting!

“That’s not how you should put it. I definitely can’t survive two hundred moves against him in a one-on-one, but I will never give up on you,” he added.

“If you can’t handle a one-on-one, do you think you can handle a group? Flower Peacock, besides showing off, I really can’t think what else you’re good for!” Gu Changsheng glared at his handsome face, feeling a mix of envy and resentment!

“Being this handsome is out of my control,” Xilou replied arrogantly, he had never been so glad to be born with good looks.

“You’re really not going to fight?” Gu Changsheng squinted at him, asking.

“Brute strength is of no value…” Xilou shook his head.

Gu Changsheng just sighed and turned expectantly to Zhou Mu behind her, “Evildoer, he saw your looks, man. They say anyone who sees your face is either yours or has grass growing over their grave. Come on, go!”

If one willingly surrenders, her only chance was to seek effort from the other.

Zhou Mu indulgently shook his head, “As you wish.”

Now, Gu Changsheng was happy, smiling very satisfied, “That’s more like it.”

Everything she wished for, she got, and nothing could make her happier.

Xilou watched Zhou Mu approach, his face changing multiple colors, and he reluctantly took a step back, “Zhou Mu, we shouldn’t let ourselves be played like monkeys. You are a Commandery Prince after all, how can you let her command you so arbitrarily?”

“What she desires, I must grant,” Zhou Mu paused, then added, “Actually, I find your face quite displeasing too.”

She liked handsome men, and Xilou was very handsome!

You look fine too,” Xilou stepped back another step, objectively stating, “I thought you were afraid to show your true face for over a decade, fearing it might be too shameful looking. Having seen it today, you look quite good. We are comparable, each with our own strengths…”

On Zhou Mu’s unkempt face was a layer of frost, “It’s precisely because we are comparable, each with our own strengths!”

Zhou Mu moved swiftly, and in a blink, he was exchanging blows with Xilou.

“Hey…hey… I’m her lifesaver, you know!” Xilou yelled while parrying.

Gu Changsheng excitedly watched the two of them fighting in the courtyard, applauding enthusiastically with wide swings!

“Nice!” That fan almost tore Zhou Mu’s clothes.

“Impressive!” That palm strike sent Xilou’s hairpin flying.

“Hey, hey! Watch out for my stone table, don’t hit it!”

The people in the arena quickly avoided the stone table and continued their exchanges.

“Hey, hey! My stool, my stool!”

Xilou hastily retracted his fan, barely missing smashing the stool.

“That, that! My clothesline!”

Zhou Mu changed the trajectory of his palm wind, skirting the clothesline.

The two figures intertwined, and in the blink of an eye, they had exchanged a hundred moves.

“Evildoer, you are letting him win, aren’t you? The Flower Peacock is armed, and you’re bare-handed!” Xilou’s fan was indeed his ultimate weapon, yet Zhou Mu was putting up a fight with his bare hands!

“I’d rather not have people say I won through foul means.” Zhou Mu’s voice was cold and his reply indifferent.

“Wow, then keep going,” Gu Changsheng watched the fight with great joy.

“Mom, Uncle Wood and Peacock Uncle are so cool, I want to learn martial arts from them,” Little Meat Bun said, his bright eyes shining as he sucked on his fingers.

“Follow Peacock. You can use a fan as a weapon; it’s good for showing off normally, and handy in a fight,” Gu Changsheng suggested.

Little Meat Bun nodded solemnly in agreement, impressed!

Another hundred moves passed in a blink.

“Wife, it’s about time to set the table,” Dong Lei popped his head out from the kitchen door, shouting towards the main room entrance.

“Okay…” Gu Changsheng was in high spirits, her smile blooming like a flower.

Zhou Mu spun in the air, his palm wind mighty as he struck towards Xilou’s face.

“Zhou Mu, you’re serious! Don’t hit the face!” Xilou frantically waved his folding fan to block the incoming palm strike, yelling loudly.

“Right, right! Evildoer, don’t hit the face! He lives off his looks!” Gu Changsheng also shouted.

Zhou Mu paused his palm wind, instantly changing his hand movements, his fingers claw-like, and in a blink, Xilou’s folding fan was flicked out of his hand and caught by Zhou Mu.
